Go Go Monster
Taiyo Matsumoto has a new book out called GOGO MONSTER, and you can watch two cool little TV commercials online here. Another site talks about a five-minute animated pilot done by a French group for Matsumoto’s BLACK AND WHITE series. I keep getting an error message when trying to download the pilot, but you can…

Favorite Media of 2021
I’m sharing this later than usual, but yes, this year again (following 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020) I’ve compiled a comprehensive and highly subjective list of my favorite media, this time for the year 2021 — that means I limit it to media that was released in 2021,…

On Anime: Summer 2020 Season
I never got around to posting about what shows I checked out during this latest TV season, but I did do a Twitter thread about it, that I figure I’ll adapt as a post here. It’s getting more and more difficult to do a “start of season” post these days though, as a lot of…

My Ten Favorite Anime Series
At work I like to organize some fun times at the end of every week — I even have a name for it, the “Friday Fluke.” Part of it is getting a drink, relaxing a bit with colleagues, and playing some games (our go-to tends to be various forms of Werewolf). Last week I introduced…

Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle
I quite liked the first Godzilla anime film on Netflix, that marked the start of trilogy. The second part is now out, and I really enjoyed this one as well. Just like the first movie, it’s a hardcore sci-fi take on Godzilla, and this one features even cooler mech-on-Godzilla battles. Do make sure to stay…

Pacific Rim Uprising
I can’t say I really liked this. I liked the first one a lot, and the idea of giant mechs fighting monsters is one I quite like, but this sequel just fell flat for me. Sure, the big action set piece in Tokyo at the end was pretty fun, but getting there felt like a…

Game Boy 011 – Ebb and Flow
“Game Boy” is a weekly column in which I write about being a game developer working in Montreal. You’ll find them all under this category, and it starts here. I was going to start sharing my GDC thoughts this week, but there’s Japanese gaming in the air. This weekend marks the 6th edition of the BitSummit indie gaming…

Like it’s 1987
Well, my latest movie marathon, for the year 1987, definitely took the longest (starting in October of last year) — not because of the quality of the films, but probably more because I burned out a bit on watching so many 80s movies last year, and needed to take a break. When I kicked off…

The Cloverfield Paradox
So this popped up suddenly on Netflix, and everyone freaked out, and then the next day everyone one was saying it was shit. I liked the first Cloverfield movie fine, and really liked the second one, 10 Cloverfield Lane (would have liked Dan Trachtenberg to direct another one), and so I still wanted to check…
