It’s no secret that the next season of Doctor Who will feature Weeping Angels. In fact, they’re supposed to feature in episode #5.

The 10 minute trailer: Space Battleship Yamato 2199
The team behind the anime Space Battleship Yamato have released a long trailer for their sci-fi epic. We’re not talking 2, 3 or even 5 minutes long. We’re talking about a 10 minute clip from the show. The first two episodes of the series will actually air in cinemas around Japan from the end of […]
MMORPG anime Sword Art Online gets extended tailer
When Geek Native wrote about Sword Art Online back in February there was some debate about the premise. The game – a “VRMMORPG” if you want – is one where you die in real life if you die in the game. How does that work? The trailer still doesn’t explain so we’re left to speculate. […]

AKB48 in spaaace: AKB0048 trailer
AKB0048 is an anime which takes a real life, popular, and pop all-girl band from Japan into an anime. It’s a bit harsh to describe this as Spiceworld/Spice Girls the Movie as AKB48 have a history on anime; ranging from the Dragon Ball Kai ending to other various anime scores. AKB48 isn’t just a girl […]
Living with Lovecraft
Living with Lovecraft hit YouTube towards the end of 2011 and was originally made for the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival. However, the upload suggests there will be more webisodes coming soon – that, sadly, seems unlikely as we would have seen them by now. This video represents what it might be like everyday life with […]

Taking us by surprise – especially this blogger who was about to step into a big business meeting when Twitter started to buzz – the BBC announced soap actress Jenna-Louise Coleman as the next companion for Doctor Who.
