Bleach live action: Samurai and monstrous ghosts
We’ve learnt to manage our own expectations when it comes to live-action adaptations of anime and manga. It’s not easy. We’ve had the Attack on Titan and Ghost in the Shell live action attempts from Japan and America in semi-recent memory and neither became a break out hit. Could Bleach do better? This trailer gives […]
Alita: Battle Angel trailer
Based on the very popular anime Gunnm and manga Battle Angel is Holywood’s latest attempt to do a live action. We’ve big names here with producers James Cameron and Jon Landau.

Vogt-Roberts’ Destiny 2 trailer
The last thing I watched which was directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts was Kong: Skull Island. That was one of my favourite Kong remakes. I think this trailer for the new Destiny game is even better.

Are we doomed? A review of Attack on Titan live action movie
This was always going to be a challenging movie to make. For a start there are legion of manga and anime fans who really want this movie to bring to life this incredible story and then there’s task of bringing the towering titans to life. People laughed at this horror movie. I was able to […]
Twilight Zone meets Farscape: A review of Metal Hurlant Resurgence
Metal Hurlant began life way back in France in 1974. It’s older than me. I believe the literal translation is Howling Metal but when geeks I know in the UK talk about the series they often call it Heavy Metal. Skip forward a few decades and a live action TV series is announced. Metal Hurlant […]
