The on demand stream gets the series “firstly and exclusively” in Japanese audio with English subs and with local language dubbing. This is a sci-fi set after mankind has fled Earth to […]

Star Wars of the Dead
Looking for killer pop art and a fresh take on some classics? Check out The Art of Jeff Hulligan. The Cleveland based designer has a lovely style. He can also be slightly spooky at times – in a good way – as these undead Star Wars prints show. I especially like undead R2-D2. These are […]
The paintful pot dragon
This remarkable vase was created by Johnson Cheung-shing Tsang. It’s well worth checking out his blog as it is full with stylish and clever sculptures/pottery. I found this piece, called “A Paintful Pot”, over at Twisted Sifter which has photographs of the dragon’s creation.
Extended TV trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPOhVCVA-uU There’s about a month before Guardians of the Galaxy is out in the States. The marketing machine is at full speed and new footage keeps coming. The latest trailer is a minute long and mixes never seen before footage with some of the now familiar scenes. The expectations around Guardians of the Galaxy are […]
David Peterson’s Muppet fairy tales
David Peterson is the artist behind the highly acclaimed Mouse Guard comic book series and Mouse Guard RPG. An old Buzzfeed post from 2012 also show he has a far wider talent for the whimsical and is capable of some clever mashups. I think Miss Piggy makes an excellent Maleficent. My favourite might well be […]

A gamble: A review of Mardock Scramble – The Third Exhaust
Mardock Scramble: The Third Exhaust is the third film to accompany the TV series. I’ve not seen the episodes but I was able to watch Mardock Scramble: The First Compression and Mardock Scramble: The Second Combustion on the big screen during Scotland Loves Anime. As it happens, I actually had to double check that this […]
Short film: SubWars
Blood and gore splatter aplenty when an old man isn’t offered a seat on a busy subway. The Force is strong with this fellow. He looks the part, I admit, and I don’t think anyone is surprised when he pulls out a red lightsaber. The question is; why didn’t anyone offer him a seat. Would […]
