  • Ronia the Robber’s Daughter

    —

    ,

    This is turning into a fantastic series. Produced by Ghibli and directed by Goro Miyazaki (Hayao’s son), you definitely feel the the Ghibli pedigree as you watch it – especially in the pacing – and although the cell shaded CG animation did feel a bit weird to me at first, I quite enjoy it now.…

  • Parasyte

    ,

    The trailer for the anime adaptation of the manga series Parasyte got me interested in checking it out, and one episode in, I’m definitely interested in watching more. It borders on the grotesque, but the mystery of why this is happening to this boy (his hand comes alive, and this sentience is also happening in…

  • Gundam Reconguista in G

    —

    ,

    I’m not a big Gundam guy at all – the only Gundam I’m familiar with is the original series – but I got a bit interested for this new series when I saw mention that it was director by Tomino (creator of the original series), and from the trailer it did have an old-school feel…

  • The Walking Dead

    —

    ,

    This was definitely the best and most exciting season opener (for season 5) for The Walking Dead so far. Lots happening, and already we’re headed on a new course. The only thing that bugged me was the moment where the unknowns are getting killed (in the scene pictured above), and then it just “magically” stops…

  • Arrow

    Well that was certainly an eventful season opener. I really like this show, and it looks like we’re in for another wild ride of a season. 

  • The Flash

    —

    ,

    This is pretty much exactly what I wanted as a companion show to Arrow – something that is lighter and funner, but still feels at home in the “universe” that is being created for Arrow. Sure, the pilot is a bit too backstory heavy, but that’s what you’d expect from a pilot, and I’m quite…

  • Automata

    —

    ,

    I really, really liked this movie. I’d say it’s the closest to a Blade Runner I’ve seen since, well, Blade Runner. It has a similar vibe and presentation of the future, mixed in with some classic Asimov robot “directives.” And there’s something really haunting and emotional about the way they portray the robots, despite the…

  • Columbo: Murder by the Book

    —

    ,

    They have all of Columbo on Hulu Japan, and so the other day I went and watched the very first episode, from 1971 (“Murder by the Book,” they’re all done as TV movies). I’ve seen some Columbo in the past, but just the last ones that were made, in the early nineties I think. I…
