  • Bloodline

    This is one of those shows that I’ve been wanting to check out for what seems like forever (well, since last year). I didn’t really know what it was about, but had heard that it was pretty good, and with the second season just coming out, I figured I’d finally give it a try. I…

  • Lady Dynamite

    This show caught me completely by surprise. I hadn’t heard anything about it, and just saw it pop up on Netflix on Friday (it’s a new Netflix Original series), and wow, this show is fantastic so far. I’m only 2 episodes in, but each was so damn funny, and I just love how crazy and…

  • Gods of Egypt

    It’s such a shame that they had to cast the movie the way that they did. This could have been just a big dumb fun adventure movie with a cool world to see, but the fact that the main characters are all white just kept annoying me the whole time. I’m sure they justified the…

  • Urusawa Naoki no Manben

    ,

    I’ve just discovered my new favorite TV series. Urasawa Naoki no Manben is a documentary series on NHK Educational that follows Naoki Urasawa – my favorite mangaka – as he interviews various manga creators. What’s especially interesting here is that the cameras follow the person over 4 days, as they are working on pages, and…

  • Master Keaton (Anime)

    ,

    Along with the manga series, I’ve also started watching the anime adaptation that was done in 1999-2000, with 39 episodes (originally on TV, and then through OVA releases). I’ve only watched the first few episodes, but it’s really well done, and they do a great job of adapting the manga stories. Also, it’s not done…

  • Master Keaton

    While I wait for the final volume of Naoki Urasawa’s Billy Bat to begin serialization this summer, I decided to explore his Master Keaton series. I’d read a couple of chapters a while back, and it hadn’t really grabbed me at the time, but this time, after reading the first few chapters, I started really…

  • Ghost in the Shell

    ,

    After getting back into Ghost in the Shell recently through the Arise series and the new movie, I wanted to go back and re-watch the original Mamoru Oshii film. It’s always interesting for me to re-visit these movies that I watched so many times back in the day, but haven’t watched in years (in this…

  • Evoland 2

    ,

    I got this game as part of the current Humble Eye Candy Bundle (ends in 3 days), and boy am I digging it. The idea is that it’s an RPG that plays around with RPG eras, and so you’ll be playing with it looking like an NES-era Zelda game, but then you’ll also experience a…
