  • Teen Titans Go!

    ,

    Another super-hero series I fell upon recently (also on Netflix) is Teen Titans Go, and I gotta say it makes for a pretty fun watch. Again, like for Batman: The Brave and the Bold (but don’t get me wrong, I don’t love this like I do that series), I dig the very stylized aesthetics they’re…

    Despite the fact that I still read a lot of super-hero comics (I’m especially enjoying DC’s Rebirth stuff right now), I haven’t found myself interested in watching the plethora of super-hero cartoons that have been produced in recent years, both on the DC and Marvel sides. The last super-hero cartoon I remember really enjoying was…

  • Voltron: Legendary Defender

    When Netflix initially announced that it was producing a new Voltron series, I found myself not caring at all – even though I watched all of Voltron as a kid, I realized that I don’t have any particular nostalgic love for it, like I do for other stuff of the era (and I also preferred…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Mobile Suit Gundam

    ,

    I wrote recently that I watched the new Gundam “Origin” series with my wife (the 2 episodes that are out), and that it was making me want to watch the original 70s series, something I’ve been wanting to do for ages. It’s one of my wife’s all-time favorite series, and she’s been suggesting I watch it…

  • Ghost in the Shell: The New Movie

    —

    ,

    On the same day that I watched all 10 episodes of Ghost in the Shell: Arise – Alternative Architecture, I then watched this movie that came out last year, that pretty much acts as the cap to the story told in the Arise series. That means that if you like the series, you absolutely need…

  • Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin

    ,

    My wife is a huge fan of the original Gundam series, and she really wanted to watch this new OVA series (2 episodes are out, with the 3rd one out next month) and so we watched it together, even though I know next to nothing about the series (I keep meaning to watch that original…
