Don’t copy me. I’ve done it wrong. My first encounter with the franchise was with the spin off series Eureka Seven AO. Like many anime fans I’m used to jumping into the deep end of plot. While I enjoyed, mainly, Eureka Seven AO I was frustrated I couldn’t quite tie back to previous events, didn’t […]

Is this the next Gundam? Cross Ange trailer
Cross Ange is a new mecha anime from Sunrise. That’s the team responsible for mecha hits like Gundam, Code Geass and Vlavrave. Mitsui Fukuda, Gundam SEED director, is the creative director on the project. If you happened to notice the pilot’s armour was odd; a mix of protective shell and knickers then you’d be right. […]
Doctor Who: BBC America releases “Deep Breath” promo pictures
Deep Breath is the first episode of the new Doctor Who. BBC America have released some promo pictures for it – and it’s the old gang with a new face. There’s Jenna Coleman as Clara, Neve McIntosh as Madame Vastra and, of course, Peter Capaldi as The Doctor. What do you think? Too early to […]
The price of eternal life: A review of Fairy Tail the Movie – Phoenix Priestess
Some anime moves make for an excellent catch up and introduction for fans. Only recently, for example, I suggested that Strong World was a great way to introduce people to One Piece. Sure; you didn’t know the background to all the characters but you still got a flavour for the series. Fairy Tail the Movie: […]
Comic Con’s expanded Constantine trailer
I think this is the best Constantine trailer yet. I write that as someone who wasn’t very impressed by the first and worried the whole show would be a write off. I’ve only come to Constantine via the latter Justice League Dark comic books and he’s always been a prat. Anti-hero? Just unhelpful mage with […]
Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D 2 teaser
This is a teaser for the next season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. recorded for SDCC. No prizes for guessing which room the audience was in. Listen out to the agent Mockingbird chat. Mockingbird was introduced back in the early 70s. She doesn’t have full-on super powers but was subject to a science serum injection that […]
Doctor Who: Listen
The latest Doctor Who teaser trailer out. The current pattern continues. It feels like Doctor Who to begin with, the music, the TARDIS… but the Doctor’s not inside. He’s on the roof instead and seems to be meditating. “Listen” he demands in a husk of a shout. It’s a little creepy. Is this a creepy […]
Game of Thrones: Season 5 cast
The Sand Snakes are coming. Game of Thrones ran this video for Comic-Con to introduce the new characters with their actors for the next season of Game of Thrones. Yes, this includes Jonathan Pryce and Alexander Siddig (of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine). Pryce’s High Sparrow will be making “friends” in the capital while Siddig […]
Game of Thrones: Season 4 bloopers
Thanks to Comic Con we can sit back and enjoy a collection of bloopers from season 4 of Game of Thrones. You shouldn’t watch this if you’re worried about spoilers up to s4. There’s no clues as to what happen next. In fact, for much of this video, there’s a total lack of clue. Funny […]
Halo: Nightfall trailer
This is the first look at Ridley Scott’s Halo live-action series. It’s due out in November if you’ve an xbox and are happy to watch it there. There’s still no news as to whether the show will jump to traditional TV. The character Jameson Locke will be a playable character in Halo 5. In the […]
