YouTube Tuesday: I Am Super Lucky Golden Iron Man Edition

August 4, 2009 by Dave

Test animation for an Iron Man anime, the final of which is to be written by Warren Ellis. Below, a similar test animation for the Wolverine anime, also to be written by Ellis, but that doesn’t look nearly as good.

Comic to Movie: Lost in Adaptation

February 18, 2009 by Bartoneus

Not long ago I was quite excited to see the movie adapted from the very good comic book, Wanted.  This excitement was spurned by a few non comic readers saying that the movie was great, and so I figured if they thought the movie was awesome then surely it must be a decent movie no […]

When Horror Meets Awesome: CthulhuTech

January 2, 2009 by Bartoneus

One thing that I never really expected to see released as an official product is the melding of the Cthulhu mythos with a futuristic-anime style setting, which is exactly what CthulhuTech presents.

Equivalent Exchange

December 9, 2008 by Dave

icv2 reports that Full Metal Alchemist will be getting a second series. Sequel series that picks up after the movie? Re-done version that sticks closer to the manga (ala Hellsing)? The adventures of the protagonist pair’s alter-egos in our world during the early 30’s? The article doesn’t say, but I’m skeptical that anything will be […]

YouTube Tuesday: Akira Remake Edition

December 2, 2008 by Dave

A satirical take on a remade version of the classic movie Akira. With Day the Earth Stood Still starring Keanu Reeves coming out, no crazy remake concept would surprise me nowadays.

Why You Shouldn’t Watch Firefly

July 30, 2008 by Sucilaria

Many, if not most of you, have already viewed Joss Whedon’s Firefly series and the follow-up film, Serenity. This article is not intended for you; however, let me say that I’m sorry. I now feel your pain, because some supposed “friends” convinced Bart and I to view the series. I had many reservations about it, […]

“TETSUO!” “TITANIC!”

February 20, 2008 by Dave

Did not see that one coming… Leonardo DiCaprio is set to produce a live-action version of anime classic Akira. Technology may have finally caught up to the point where doing live-action Akira is more feasible than it once was. But how faithful will it be to the original? Who will direct? Will DiCaprio take a […]

An Excellent Music Video

October 4, 2007 by Bartoneus

I’ll just get it out there right now, I was reading Kanye West’s Blog. Please don’t have any a heartattack yet, but if you haven’t heard his new album Graduation yet you definitely should and then you might understand. The music video here isn’t one of his, though his newest one does have some awesome […]

Launch Veritech Fighters!

September 7, 2007 by Dave

With Transformers already out and Voltron being fast-tracked, is that the end of movie remakes of 80’s tv shows about giant robots? No, of course not: not while Robotech lies untapped. In a few years, we’ll see a Hollywood version of the classic anime turned American tv show turned book series turned RPG (or whatever […]

All Glory to the Anime Hypnotoad!

January 18, 2007 by Dave

According to THE BEAT, the artist who posted her work online turning The Simpsons and Futurama into manga-style got herself signed to a deal with the makers of The Simpsons comics… and may get to work on the upcoming Futurama series. Now THAT is an Internet success story. Though it comes from the often-not-accurate Ain’t […]
