I’m impress at the speed at which Leigh Lahav is able to animate. Fangirls seems to be going from strength to strength. This Jingle Bells variant, for example, went live on the 16th and has already racked up some 160,000 views. What do you think? Is this a budding animation empire in the making?

The 12th Doctor: The Oncoming Storm… or hope?
But now it’s time for the old beast to snarl at you for a bit! That quote is from Steven Moffat discussing the changeover from Matt Smith to Peter Capaldi. Here’s the full quote; “We’ve got used to two brilliant iterations of the younger, more popular Doctor and they have both been superlative,” “But now […]
Black Lagoon: Roberta’s Blood Trail review
Roberta’s Blood Trail is the third series of Black Lagoon and presented as an OVA. As the title suggests it leans heavily on the mild mannered maid – Roberta. Roberta may be a secondary character in the series but she’s hugely popular. We know of her background and of her abilities; she’s one of the […]
Doctor Who: Christmas 2013 trailer shows The Time of the Doctor
The BBC America trailer for the Christmas 2013 trailer for “The Time of the Doctor” puts the writing on the wall. Like the Pandorica the events at Trenzalore are there to trap the Doctor. Can the future be changed? The clip shows Silence doing something other than being spooky, shooting lightening out of their dodgy […]

Demon bloodlines: A review of Blue Exorcist part 1
The action kicks off pretty quickly in Blue Exorcist. Here’s how it flies for quick-to-anger but basically well-intended Rin Okumura. First, he finds out that a little girl being terrorised by “bad fairies” isn’t making it up; they’re real and he can see them. He next finds out that his quirky father isn’t just a […]
Doctor Who: Take On Me
I think it’s now old enough to become cool again – so you might a) remember A-Ha’s “Take On Me” and b) be okay with enjoying it. It’s a famous video with some skilful animation. What we have here is a video from Richard Swarbrick that was picked up by The Flixx, tweaked and the […]
