Witchblade and Cyber City Oedo 808 Collector's Editions arrived. To be honest: I have no memory of why I pre-ordered the Witchblade anime but it should be an interesting watch. I also got Fafner in the Azure on Blu-Ray. Fafner is an series that has been ticking along since 2004 and just got a...

I like Tomasi a lot for his Green Lantern stuff and The Mighty. But I haven’t gotten to the Rebirth stuff yet. Might be next on the list. Morrison is a writer where I’ve liked exactly 50% of what I’ve read from them. So I'm both always willing to give him a shot but always hesitant about it...

Ordered a figure form Ecstatic Anime for the first time. For whatever reason instead of padding the box out with bubble wrap they used Japanese candy. So I’m chewing on Hi-Chew Premiums.

Ordered some Superhero graphic novels from various places; Batman: Universe, Action Comics: Warworld Rising, Superman: Man of Tomorrow, Superman Last Son, Superman: Unchained, Action Comics Volumes 1-3 by Grant Morrison & SHAZAM! The Monster Society of Evil. This is the result of a very sudden...

Does anyone have any advice on buying a new laptop? My old MacBook air is starting to give out so a replacement is long overdue. I need something with good memory and good enough for video editing but I have zero idea on what to go for. Should I stick with the MacBook line or go somewhere else...

Finally finished Anno: Mutationem after picking away at it for months. Pretty cool. It's one of those indie titles that's more ambitious than polished but the core combat is responsive and snappy, the combination of pixel art characters with 3-D environments looks great and the main duo's...

It fees like there's a 50/50 chance on if Requiem of the Rose King gets brought over here. You'd figure something based on a Shakespeare play based on English history would be an obvious choice but maybe it's too niche.

Does anyone have any opinions on Katsugeki Touken Ranbu? I haven't heard of it before but the cover is interesting.

Well that's the survey done. I enjoyed doing that and hope my answer are helpful instead of weird and backwards.

Mad God A crowd-funded, stop-motion horror film 30 years in the making. Industry legend Phil Tippett does a lot of real cool things with this vision of a world gone insane. Combining his decades of experience with a bunch of random junk to create a really impressive work of animation without...

ITV has all of Reconguista in G available for streaming. Frankly I don't know why they'd go for that one that's cool. Somebody's first exposure to anime is going to be Nick Klim and that'll be interesting.

These shows are made for teenagers, what 15 year old has the money to spend £100+ on Platinum End? Also I'm very happy that Kaguya fans get to see the movie on the big screen. But it's insane they are doing that when none of that show is available on disc. There's clearly a market for that...

Shin Ultraman Having no meaningful experience with Ultraman as a franchise but a childhood love of Thunderbirds: this was delightful. It's got some of the same political commentary as Shin Godzilla, sometimes incredibly bluntly and even more overt, but the real focus here is on the...

Tactics Ogre Reborn - Haven’t gotten far yet but I don’t think I like this much. The battles taking 30 minutes and being full of very slow animations is really killing my enthusiasm. Especially becuase I’m so early in the game and there’s not much to experiment with. I like that you can’t brute...

It feels like there will be more characters later but the focus is on Grave for the early parts. Waiting for a sale is the right move. It's fun but probably not worth an incredible amount. Especially as the developer have been patching and updating things since launch. They even added a...

Casablanca is one of my favourite films but it doesn't have a thrilling action scene set to I Need A Hero. So I can't prove it is actually better than Shrek 2.

Happy New Year and welcome to 2023! Enjoy your fireworks and celebrations.

Heat (1995) - It's Robert De Niro vs Al Pacino and definitely something I will appreciate more if I rewatch it. It’s got at least 6 plot lines running through the entire movie and while that should be confusing if handles them well. It gives the feeling the situation has spiralled out of...

Travelling Man has a 20% off sale right now so I went to the big city to have a look. Got SHY Volume 1 (very excited) with Gleipnir Volume 2. Also Chained Solider Volume 2 because it was 50% off even though I do not have the first volume.

I started Gungrave G.O.R.E (Gunslinger Of Resurrection) because I got it as a Christmas Present. For those who don't know Gungrave was a short lived Japanese action game series famous for having character designs and story by mangaka Yasuhiro Nightow. The last full game was released in 2004...
