It’s not the first time Doctor Who has been animated but it’s got a whole nother feel to it when it gets the anime treatment, complete with fanservice! The anime short by Paul Michael Johnson is set in Japan (naturally) and features shiny Daleks, spry Cybermen, and the Master looking like he’s about to yell “Hail Zeon!” Who can save Japan? Only the most badass Time Lord of them all

After abruptly ending 5 years ago, Inuyasha picks up right where it left off with one major difference it’s being simulcast on Hulu! If you’ve never seen it or just need a little refresher, Inuyasha is a half human, half demon from Feudal Japan that teams up with a time traveling high school student named Kagome to retrieve magical jewel shards capable of increasing a demon’s powers. Standing in their

A giant kryptonite meteor is hurtling towards the Earth! This looks like a job for… Lex Luthor!? No it’s not a parallel Earth or even a dream. Luthor has won the presidency and being the megalomaniac that he is he decides that if he can’t save the world, then no one will. President Luthor convinces the country that the kryptonite meteor is affecting Superman’s mind and puts a $1 billion

It’s been a long time coming, anime has been influencing comics and cartoons for decades. And now Marvel is taking the plunge with 4 new anime style series: Iron Man, Wolverine, X-Men, & Blade. Marvel unveiled the first trailers for Wolverine & Iron Man series at Comic-Con this weekend (video below), but don’t plan on seeing them anytime soon. Not only won’t they be coming out until next year, they’ll

Green Lantern’s light isn’t shining as nearly bright as it used to in this new take on a classic origin. It’s bad enough that they cut out the death of Hal Jordan’s father but they barely touch on Hal’s fearlessness, which is kinda important considering it’s the whole reason he’s chosen to become a Green Lantern! While fearlessly hot-dogging in an Air Force flight simulator, Hal is abducted by strange

Whenever I need to find old/rare anime (unlicensed of course)  I head over to Boxtorrents.com, but last weekend I was shocked to find the website was gone! Not just down for maintenance but completely vanished with only a placeholder declaring the domain was for sale by owner. Even if you weren’t a member, this affects you! If you’ve ever downloaded manga, anime, j-pop, or any live action Asian show from

Voice acting legend Billy West appeared on Fox News’ Red Eye this week to promote Comedy Central’s purchasing 26 NEW episodes of Futurama (must-see video below). Besides showing off his incredible talent (including a spot-on impression of Bill O’Reilly), West revealed this fun fact “Popeye, he was a Tuvan!” West went on to explain how he used a documentary about the Mongolian singers called Genghis Blues to perfect Popeye’s dichotomous

Last weekend’s “special” live action finale of Aqua Teen Hunger Force revealed that our anti-heroes are in fact characters in a story by Don Shake, a talentless writer played by H. Jon Benjamin. Desperate to finish & sell his story before his roommate Frylock (T-Pain) throws him out, Shake lets Meatwad (who is now a red exercise ball)  ghostwrite for him before ultimately taking advice from Carl (look-alike contest winner

When I first heard Josh Weinstein & Bill Oakley, the creators of Mission Hill, were teaming up again to do Sit Down, Shut Up I thought it would be a similarly off-beat comedy (i.e., good). But after watching last night’s pilot episode, I felt like Obi-Wan at the end of Star Wars: Episode III when he yells “You were the chosen one!” A little research revealed that Oakley actually quit

There’s no pussyfooting around it, Queen’s Blade is about one thing and one thing only: FANSERVICE. It’s based on a gamebook, you know those Choose Your Own Adventure books where you pick from a list of choices and turn to the corresponding page, so don’t expect a lot in the way of story. All you need to know is there’s a battle royal to decide the next Queen. The only

The only thing worse the a prequel is a remake. And while I hope Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is the exception, it ain’t looking good. Episode 1 reminds me of one of those compilation movies that splices together episodes (think Turn A Gundam). We’re hit over the head with things we  already know: Armstrong loves his muscles, Ed is sensitive about his height, Hughes loves his family, Ed & Al tried

One of many things absent from the recent movie adaptation of Watchmen was the fictional comic Tales of the Black Freighter. This story within a story mirrored events (as they happened) in Watchmen so a standalone direct-to-DVD movie kinda defeats the purpose. The episode-length movie, which clocks in at just over 20 minutes, tells the tale of a sea captain who is marooned after an encounter with the Black Freighter,

For the first time ever The Simpsons is premiering outside of America with a special Saint Patrick’s Day episode called In The Name Of The Grandfather. Those lucky Irish (and those of us with the internet) can watch it today, while everyone else will have to wait until Sunday. Not surprisingly, the theme involves alcohol. When Homer misses the father-son wheelbarrow race at grandpa Simpson’s retirement home, the only way

Long before Queen Hippolyta breathed life into the original warrior princess, she had a son with Ares the God of War. Together father & son waged war on the Amazons until Hippolyta ended it by chopping her son’s head off. But before she could do the same to Ares, Zeus intervened and demanded he be spared. Ares’ powers were summarily stripped and he became the not-so-eternal prisoner of the Amazons.

Into the Wild Green Yonder may not be the best Futurama movie, but it is the last and for that alone it’s a must see. Like previous movies there’s a lot of superfluous plot. Namely Fry & Bender entering a high stakes poker game, which I think they only came up with so Seth MacFarlane could do his Sinatra impersonation for the opening song. That’s about 20 minutes wasted. Although
