High School DxD began life as a Japanese light novel in 2008 and made it as a TV series by 2012. Issei Hyodo is a male student at Kuoh Academy, an academy that only recently turned co-ed. He’s a letch and a perv in way that anime presents as totally acceptable. He’s soon caught in […]

This is a review of season 1 part 1 of the anime Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic. It is Arabian Nights turned into an anime. Aladdin is a young boy who has escaped some sort of dungeon with a headless genie in a flute. Ali Baba is a teenager who works for merchants and dreams […]
New Constantine trailer
NBC have released a trailer for the Constantine show. “Released” in the sense that it has been aired but seems to be suffering from YouTube yanking. Watch this while you can. The show will start in Autumn 2014 on NBC. We don’t yet know if any European channel will pick it up but here’s hoping […]

Rewriting the plot: A look at Eureka Seven AO part 2
In my review of Eureka Seven AO p1 I mentioned I hadn’t seen the first series, liked the anime but struggled to get into the characters. Part two is different for the obvious reason – I know the characters better now. It’s also different for the less obvious reason – the great big gun that […]

It’s the sort of deal you hear about when it’s too late and kick yourself. Good news; either by accident or by design, this Friday evening, the special Comic Con page is […]

I watched the pilot episode of Basic Adventuring 101 and then wanted to watch another. It was then that I discovered the series was pending the outcome of a Kickstarter. It doesn’t usually happen that way around any more but I think it speaks well of the show that they were able to earn attention […]

A quick five minutes: The Flash extended trailer
I had mixed feelings about Don’t Blink the Flash teaser with Arrow in it. This five minute show promo from CW does a much better job of winning me around. I think we can see a little bit more of Barry Allen’s personality, there’s at least some token science behind the weird costume and it’s […]
