https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XE_jH2eQl4 A spoiler free/light combined trailer for the CW’s showing of Arrow and Flash. You’ll get to see a bunch of baddies and a few other appearances as well. Seems pretty clear who would win in a cage fight…
Seed & Spark: Basic Adventuring 101
The good thing about good ideas is that they’re persistent. Last May I wrote about the LARP series Basic Adventuring 101, reckoned it was worth a shout and backed it on Kickstarter. The team raised nearly $17,000 which is a heck of a lot of funds for a webseries but fell short of their $25,000. […]
Visually stunning, plot struggling: A review of Harlock Space Pirate
There’s no doubt that Space Pirate Captain Harlock is an anime legend. The character, who has had a few incarnations, is famous. The latest adventure with the icon is a stunning full length feature film. This is a reboot of the franchise; suitable for someone coming to the series for the first time as it […]
Girl vs God: A review of Good Luck Girl!
Wikipedia tells me the target demographic for Good Luck Girl! (Binbo-gami ga! Aka “This Damn God of Poverty!” in Japanese) is a Shonen. In other words; the intended audience is young men. I suppose that makes sense. There are scenes when our busty college girl is in cosplay or just not wearing very much. She’s […]
Netflix’s official Daredevil trailer
When does Daredevil come to Netflix? April 10th. We can thank the trailer for the answer. We also confirm that all episodes will arrive at once. Ready for some binge Daredevil watching? What do you think? Tempted? Worried? Both?

The costume was designed by Oscar winning Colleen Atwood – the same designer for the costumes of The Flash and the Arrow. Supergirl will pilot from Warner Bros with a host of stars; Mehcad Brooks (Jimmy Olsen), Calista Flockhart (Cat Grant), Chyler […]
Would you follow the Ice Cold Witch? A review of Ben-To
Ben-To begins with a young guy getting killed at a supermarket. We don’t see what strikes him, just that he hits the floor and lies there bleeding. A passer-by says something like, “Oh no, not another one.” In a twist; the student recovers. After being released from hospital he meets a strange girl who seems […]
Not the official live action Zelda trailer
Made with help from the Player Piano team, directed by Clinton Jones and produced by Sarah Quillian, this is not the official trailer for the live action Zelda show. We believe Netflix is working on an official Legend of Zelda show. This fan-made one will give them a run for their money. In this version […]
Geek culture Valentine’s Day Cards
Here’s a weird one; Ladbrokes Bingo ran a survey to investigate romances and love in a few favourite cult TV series. Here’s what they dug up. Ross and Rachel from Friends were the nations favourite couple to come from TV and film (23%), closely followed by Jack and Rose from the Titanic (17%) and Han […]
Netflix’s Daredevil trailer
This trailer popped up online while I was out of the country a week ago. In that time it’s had over 1,000,000 watches. This suggests Netflix is on to a winner with its set of four superhero series. Daredevil, perhaps because of the movie rather than despite it, may be the strongest of the titles. […]
