Competition: Win Gatchaman Crowds

May 1, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

You may well remember Battle of the Planets. I do. The original series came out when I was young but it enjoyed many repeats as a Saturday morning cartoon. Battle of the Planets is the American adaptation of an older anime called Science Ninja Team Gatchaman. We had five young “space ninja” employed by an […]

Get your teeth into this: A review of Tokyo Ghoul

April 24, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I was very happy when Tokyo Ghoul came to Netflix, I’d heard a lot about it but it had been proving to be challenging to stream legally in the UK. A geeky guy thinks he’s lucked out when a gorgeous and book loving girl takes a fancy to him. The twist? She’s a flesh hungry […]

What if the Green Arrow and Flash ran a fight club?

April 15, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A spoiler free/light combined trailer for the CW’s showing of Arrow and Flash. You’ll get to see a bunch of baddies and a few other appearances as well. Seems pretty clear who would win in a cage fight…

Seed & Spark: Basic Adventuring 101

April 13, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The good thing about good ideas is that they’re persistent. Last May I wrote about the LARP series Basic Adventuring 101, reckoned it was worth a shout and backed it on Kickstarter. The team raised nearly $17,000 which is a heck of a lot of funds for a webseries but fell short of their $25,000. […]

Visually stunning, plot struggling: A review of Harlock Space Pirate

April 12, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

There’s no doubt that Space Pirate Captain Harlock is an anime legend. The character, who has had a few incarnations, is famous. The latest adventure with the icon is a stunning full length feature film. This is a reboot of the franchise; suitable for someone coming to the series for the first time as it […]

Girl vs God: A review of Good Luck Girl!

April 9, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Wikipedia tells me the target demographic for Good Luck Girl! (Binbo-gami ga! Aka “This Damn God of Poverty!” in Japanese) is a Shonen. In other words; the intended audience is young men. I suppose that makes sense. There are scenes when our busty college girl is in cosplay or just not wearing very much. She’s […]

Netflix’s official Daredevil trailer

March 11, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

When does Daredevil come to Netflix? April 10th. We can thank the trailer for the answer. We also confirm that all episodes will arrive at once. Ready for some binge Daredevil watching? What do you think? Tempted? Worried? Both?
