This opening title sequence for Doctor Who isn’t real. It was made by VFX artist Xander David-Hugh at Neon Visual. The project took some 8 weeks to make and started before Xander even knew Capaldi had been appointed Doctor. The “remastered” theme tune uses the context of a timelord’s twin heart beat.

There’s a second way this Jenga and that’s why trying to move their Invader piece to the bottom of […]
Mashup: Attack on Totoro
The question is no longer, “Can you mash up My Neighbour Totoro with Attack on Titan?” Why not? Ron Chan shows quite clearly that you can. The question is now, “Should you mash up y Neighbour Totoro with Attack on Titan?” What do you think? Entirely too weird? Horribly good?
