    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…

  • 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…

    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…

    I’d heard there was a TV series based on the Scream movies, but hadn’t really cared about it until I saw it pop up on Netflix, and thought it might be something my wife would enjoy watching together (she likes mystery-type shows, and scary stuff too). They have the first season (10 episodes), and are…

    Preacher is absolutely one of my favorite comic series. Seeing a TV adaptation get made can be exciting and scary. After having watched the first episode, I’m feeling pretty good right now, and can’t wait to watch the rest of the season. The casting so far is fantastic, and the tone feels right. I haven’t…

  • Wayward Pines (Season 2)

    I can’t say that the first season of Wayward Pines was particularly great, but it did have a pretty neat twist in the middle that I didn’t see coming, and it was fun to watch for the most part (along with my wife). Season 2 just started, and it’s introducing quite a new setup –…

    This is one of those shows that I’ve been wanting to check out for what seems like forever (well, since last year). I didn’t really know what it was about, but had heard that it was pretty good, and with the second season just coming out, I figured I’d finally give it a try. I…

    This show caught me completely by surprise. I hadn’t heard anything about it, and just saw it pop up on Netflix on Friday (it’s a new Netflix Original series), and wow, this show is fantastic so far. I’m only 2 episodes in, but each was so damn funny, and I just love how crazy and…

    I’ve just discovered my new favorite TV series. Urasawa Naoki no Manben is a documentary series on NHK Educational that follows Naoki Urasawa – my favorite mangaka – as he interviews various manga creators. What’s especially interesting here is that the cameras follow the person over 4 days, as they are working on pages, and…
