It’s really worthwhile keeping your eyes open for what the League of STEAM are getting up to. About a year ago they stared with Panic at the Disco in The Ballad of Mona Lisa and a year before that Geek Native featured them hunting vampires. Well. Kinda. What next? This team they’ve managed to rope […]

Space Brothers trailer
Adapted from Chuya Koyama’s manga, Space Brothers is an anime about two brothers who once thought they saw a UFO and pledged to become astronauts. Except, well, the eldest brother only manages to land a job in a car company. Even that doesn’t go very well – he gets fired. Favourite scene in the trailer […]
Dr Joan Watson
When CBS announced, right after the success of the BBC’s Sherlock, that they would be doing a modern day Sherlock series I suspected they might prove to be very similar. In fact, I wondered whether CBS was copying the BBC. Was that wrong of me? Perhaps… but I surmise that I wasn’t the only one! As it […]
Hiiro no Kakera trailer
Hiiro no Kakera was once a game for the PlayStation 2. It popped over to the PSP and even the Nintendo DS. It’s a sign of the depth of the plot that it’s travelled so well and is now coming to life as an anime. There’s usually a busy collection of Hirro No Kakera trades […]

This is the second trailer for Space Battleship Yamato 2199. It’s a whopper; weighing in at just shy of 4 minutes long.

Geek Native has written about Benedict Cumberbatch playing the Master before. We’ve even speculated he might appear as or Omega – another powerful Time Lord. Last night The Express, a British tabloid, kicked off speculation again by citing unnamed sources and suggesting that he’ll be The Master for Doctor Who’s 50th anniversary. Cumberbatch and previously […]
Shaun the Sheep 3D coming to the Nintendo 3DS
Don’t mock. I actually think this is a good idea. It’s a good way for the 3DS to showcase its 3D capabilities and its a good way to get some cash from the franchise for Aardman. I actually think the Vita has the most to benefit from with this sort of distrubution deal (sans 3D, […]
The Kickstarter funded sci-fi mini-series: L5
L5 is a sci-fi mini-series that was crowd funded on Kickstarter. Just. It raised $10,400 of the $10,000 it needed from 132 backers. For $5 you would have had a mention on the site. For $10,000 you would have had a host of goodies including a spacesuit from the filming. The series paints a typically […]
