    After watching the original series and then the Thunderbolt series, I decided to watch this OVA series that came out in the early 90s. As the number in the title suggests, it takes place 3 years after the 1-year-war of the original series, and sets up what we end up seeing more of in the…

    Oh god I loved this show, excessively so. We watched it the weekend it came out, and are already feeling sad that there’s no more to watch – and that if they do make a season 2, that it’ll take at least a year to happen. I’m a child of the 80s, and this is…

    I finally watched this, the 3-hour “Ultimate” edition to be exact, and have to say that I really, really liked it – in fact, I watched it twice. I can’t comment on what is different between this edition and the one that came out in theaters, but to me it’s just a really great super-hero…

    I saw it twice at the theater when it came out, and then watched it recently for the firs time since then, when it popped up on Netflix last week (in Canada). It’s interesting to me that the movie already feels so familiar, despite it still being so new and that I’ve only seen it…

    It’s no Easbound and Down, but based on the first episode, I think I’m going to dig this series also. I really like Walton Goggins too, so it’s pretty great to see him here, doing a proper comedy (instead of just being funny in dramas). The Bill Murray cameo was pretty nice as well, but…

    There seems to be a lot of hate for this movie, and I just don’t get it. I recently re-watched it, and liked it just as much as I did the first time I saw it. I’m really into the look of it, and would probably like it based on that alone, but I also…

    I don’t know why, but even though I’ve had Gravity Rush for years on my Vita, I never ended up playing much of it, and I can’t remember what made me not get back to it after initially only playing the first few missions. But for some reason, I woke up yesterday morning (Saturday) in…

    I liked this fine, and do think it’s a very well done movie, but I somehow wasn’t as taken by it as it seems a lot of people were – and maybe it’s a result of going in with expectations that were set a bit too high. Yes, technically, it’s a marvel to look at,…

    Watching this series, which was released online over the past year (and only counts 4 episodes that are each about 20 minutes long) immediately after finishing the original 1979 Mobile Suit Gundam was just amazing. It takes place in the same year as that original series (the year 0079, during the one year war), and…

    I wrote a while back about watching the original 1979 Mobile Suit Gundam series with my wife, and how, despite the poor animation, I was enjoying it. It did take us a while to get to the end, because in the middle of the series (comprised of 43 episodes) you hit a long stretch that…
