When I first saw this unofficial animation I wondered how the BBC would react. Now we know. The Official Doctor Who has shared the animation. Created by Stephen Byrne the short animation images what a cartoon Doctor Who might be like. Rather nicely Byrne uses the 12th Doctor for his hero. This isn’t the Oncoming […]
Oni v Samurai: Legend of the Millennium Dragon review
The first thing I noticed about Legend of the Millennium Dragon was the alternative anime style. I’m used to anime characters having larger heads and eyes than their body size would suggest but this movie took it a little further. The drawing style was different too and most noticeable in the way characters’ faces looked. […]
The rumours begin! Jenna Coleman is to quit Doctor Who
The Mirror, a British newspaper, is claiming that Jenna Coleman will quit her role as Clara Oswald in Doctor Who. The actress is said to leave at Christmas. A nameless source was quoted; “The conversations about Jenna’s exit have started, and a plan is in place which is being ironed out.” It makes sense that […]
Warm up for a “battle comedy” with the Trinity Seven trailer
Trinity Seven is billed as both a romantic comedy and as a fantasy battle. It’s set after an event called the “Collapse Phenomenon” which changes the world as we know it. The phenomenon causes Arata Kasuga to loose his cousin to an alternative world. In order to rescue his cousin, Arata enrols at the Royal […]
Doctor Who: Deep Breath trailer
The first trailer for Deep Breath, the first episode of the new Doctor Who, is out. It might just be one of those episodes in which the newly regenerated Doctor is out for the count. For a while, at least. I’m not sure what explains the burning dinosaur stomping through London. Have roleplayers been involved […]
Twisty: A review of Eureka Seven the Movie
Don’t copy me. I’ve done it wrong. My first encounter with the franchise was with the spin off series Eureka Seven AO. Like many anime fans I’m used to jumping into the deep end of plot. While I enjoyed, mainly, Eureka Seven AO I was frustrated I couldn’t quite tie back to previous events, didn’t […]
Is this the next Gundam? Cross Ange trailer
Cross Ange is a new mecha anime from Sunrise. That’s the team responsible for mecha hits like Gundam, Code Geass and Vlavrave. Mitsui Fukuda, Gundam SEED director, is the creative director on the project. If you happened to notice the pilot’s armour was odd; a mix of protective shell and knickers then you’d be right. […]
Doctor Who: BBC America releases “Deep Breath” promo pictures
Deep Breath is the first episode of the new Doctor Who. BBC America have released some promo pictures for it – and it’s the old gang with a new face. There’s Jenna Coleman as Clara, Neve McIntosh as Madame Vastra and, of course, Peter Capaldi as The Doctor. What do you think? Too early to […]
The price of eternal life: A review of Fairy Tail the Movie – Phoenix Priestess
Some anime moves make for an excellent catch up and introduction for fans. Only recently, for example, I suggested that Strong World was a great way to introduce people to One Piece. Sure; you didn’t know the background to all the characters but you still got a flavour for the series. Fairy Tail the Movie: […]
Comic Con’s expanded Constantine trailer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVYtGBhYYG4 I think this is the best Constantine trailer yet. I write that as someone who wasn’t very impressed by the first and worried the whole show would be a write off. I’ve only come to Constantine via the latter Justice League Dark comic books and he’s always been a prat. Anti-hero? Just unhelpful mage […]
