I was surprised at how much I liked Bodacious Space Pirates the series. It gets a mention in Irregular Reconnaissance Anime #1 where I noted it’s a shame it all comes to an end after 26 episodes. Hurrah for the movie. Bodacious Space Pirates: Abyss of Hyperspace is due out February 2014 and Tatsuo Sato […]

Boob ninja: A review of Horizon on the Middle of Nowhere part 2
It seems pointless to deny that any reviewer who has made it to season 2 of Horizon on the Middle of Nowhere and who is still going has considered the anime’s combination of boobs and ninja. In fact; that’s the concise review. Boobs and ninja. In fairness to Horizon on the Middle of Nowhere it […]
Doctor Who Puppet – A Timelord Christmas
Have you caught up with any of the Doctor Puppet episodes on YouTube? Perhaps the Christmas Special is the one to start on. As you’d expect from a Doctor Who special it features some familiar faces. As it’s a Christmas puppet show there’s also a bit of singing and not so much on the Dalek […]
Sherlock: Many Happy Returns
The BBC have released a short Sherlock mini-episode to get us in the mood. It’s not Doctor Who short but Moffat fans will recognise a certain timey-wimey scene with a TV set.
Anime icons in London: K-On! The Movie review
I hadn’t seen any of K-On! I had heard of it and it’s reputation as being a good, safe and solid anime but perhaps that’s why it was always on my “maybe one day” rather than my “must watch while I can” list. K-On! The Movie gave me a chance to fix that. In particular, […]
Second Space Dandy trailer offers English dub
The prestige of the team putting together Space Dandy is without question. There’s Shinichiro Watanabe and Shingo Natsume as Directors, Dai Sato, Keiko Nobumoto, and Kimiko Ueno as scriptwriters and Yoshiyuki Ito for character design. In the States Space Dandy will show on Toonami. That leaves the question as to whether it’ll make it’s way […]
Only Leigh – A Very Fangirl Christmas
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 […]
