Madhouse anime teams the Punisher with Black Widow

January 23, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Marvel’s Avengers are getting the anime treatment – no longer a rare thing for American successes. The series is created by Madhouse and gets off to a cracker by pairing two low level but sneaky bastard fighters together. Black Widow and Punisher, who both look anime-impressive, team up to take on Leviathan who have been […]

Doctor Who: Fan captures video of Peter Capaldi filming

January 14, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Possible and mild spoilers here. The footage shows the 12th Doctor in… um, a nightgown? He jokes; “This is not the Doctor’s costume”. It’s good to see Capaldi being happy to spend time with fans rather than get grumpy about them filming. That’s especially true since the production team did have to ask the fans […]

Doctor Who: The first and last lines of each Doctor

January 8, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Do you remember the first thing the 9th Doctor said? “Run!” seems to sum up the series. Then there’s the 10th infamous; “I don’t want to go.” Cheezburger have put together an infographic of the Doctor’s first and last words for each generation. For the 12th generation? Yes; we’ve the first words – not the […]

It’s time for an Irregular Reconnaissance: Anime catch up. The holidays have provided some time to catch up on a series or two.

Dead Agressor: Exodus trailer

January 4, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The trailer for Fafner in the Azure: Dead Agressor: Exodus contains some fantastic animation. The harbour scene looks incredibly well drawn. The video also seems to focus on stern or gloomy looking people. This is actually a sci-fi anime, a mecha series, that had been planned for 2013 but now has a Q3 2014 release […]

Get to know the cosplayers: Soni Aralynn and Thaxos

January 2, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Distractotron continue their simple but effective series “Cosplay Chronicles”. This is a chance to get to know the cosplayers and I think it slays claims of “fake geek girls” in a single clip. Soni Aralynn comes across as credible, grounded and all types of hip. As a male cosplayer Thaxos doesn’t have to deal with […]
