I watched my Berserk back during YouTube’s lawless age. I think I got to the end but that they simply stopped the animation. As I recall, after much angst, drama and carefully paced tension – it all went pear shaped, with monsters, tentacles, character deaths and all sorts. It was a sudden turn but it […]

Dragon Age anime trailer
Funimation are planning an anime based on the Dragon Age RPG. We’re looking at 2012 for a release; interesting timing as it seems unlikely Dragon Age 3 will be there, but perhaps there will be fresh DLC and pen and paper publisher Green Ronin will certainly be able to step up to the mark. We […]
The Legend of Korra trailer
I enjoyed the first book of the Avatar series and haven’t seen any more yet. Never got around to the movie simply due to being busy and all the negative reviews telling me it wasn’t worth the drama of trying to find some time for it. The show has clearly moved on. It looks like […]
Doctor Who trailers
This is probably the Comic-Con effect. I hear that the Doctor Who sessions have been packed to beyond bursting point. If that’s true then I imagine there’s been bursting. The BBC have released a number of trailers on a number of formats. The two below should cover all the clips off. There’s a big teaser […]
Politics forced Eccleston from Doctor Who
Are you a fan of Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor? If you’re not familiar, there is history in how, why and when Christopher Eccleston left Doctor Who. For his own part, Eccleston has been pretty good at keeping silent on what happened. Now in the Bad Wilf podcast he opens up. Den of Geeks provide […]
BBC to cut gay Torchwood sex scene
There’s a raunchy sex scene in a yet-to-air episode of Torchwood: Miracle Day. Captain Jack gets it on with a barman. The scene will air as intended in America where Torchwood runs on Starz (who picked up the franchise after the BBC decided they couldn’t support it). The scene will be cut from the episode […]
CBS’s weird Patrick Stewart Star Trek interview #sttng
Freesat channel CBS Action (meh, okay; it’s on that Murdock channel that has the rights to Game of Thrones in the UK too) have got their hands on Star Trek. I was pointed in the direction of this so-called interview with Patrick Stewart as part of the launch party. Really; I can’t get my head […]
Guilty Crown trailer
This Guilty Crown trailer is worth watching for two reasons. It looks cool. That’s the first reason. The second reason is that, unless something’s changed, YouTube’s automatic translations via subtitles are live. Click on the CC button to activate. After the outbreak of a virus called “Lost Christmas” that swept through Tokyo in 2029 the […]
Dangerous, freaky, sinister Pokemon
It’s amazing how fan activity around Pokemon is fairly strong. I guess they became a part of people’s lives for very many years, became part of geek culture and left their pokemark. I suspect these critters will leave their mark too. Massive bow to deviant artist Gavin Mackey who drew these – who re-imagined these. […]
Photo: Brienne the Beauty from Game of Thrones
This post is spoiler free for Games of Thrones fans who’ve not yet read the books. The Maid of Tarth, Brienne “the Beauty” makes her appearance in the TV show in the second season. She was going to be hard to cast because she’s a knight, because she kicks arse and because she’s very tall. […]
