    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…

    I laughed so damn much watching this. I actually wasn’t really aware of Ali Wong, but had noticed that she was a guest on the WTF podcast last week (and have now listened to the episode), and so when I saw her stand-up special pop up on Netflix I decided to check it out, and…

    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…

    I was absolutely obsessed with this series today, and ended up binging all 10 episodes today. As for what this is, it takes the four Ghost in the Shell: Arise OVAs (original video animation) and re-edits them into a TV series, then adding another 2 new episodes to conclude the storyline (although, it’s really Ghost…

    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…

    Did the season premiere live up to the hype? Well, it was fun to be in that world again, no matter how interesting the episode ended up being. Sure, I would have liked more development in regards to my namesake (is he fucking dead or what), but I don’t know how much we could expect…

    The only anime series I’m watching in this current season is Joker Game (I don’t count AJIN, since that aired in Japan earlier this year), and two episodes in, I’m really enjoying it. It revolves around a governmental spy agency in 1937 Japan, and those first 2 episodes (a story arc told in 2 parts)…

    It took me until now (finished it the other night) to watch all of season 2 of Daredevil, which pretty much tells you how I felt about it. I was a big fan of the first season, but it was pretty much because it centered on the fantastic portrayal of the Kingpin. Here, the only…

    I’ll start off by saying that I never really watched the Avatar series that proceeded this – I actually tried quite a few years ago, sampling the first couple of episodes, but I just wasn’t into it. I have a hard time with shows/movies from the west that rely heavily on Asian influences, as it…

    I recently started watching this original Netflix series – I think there’s already two seasons out – and wow, this is just so damn good. Sure, I remember those old “Peabody’s Improbably History” shorts from when I was a kid, and wasn’t particularly a huge fan, but I’m just absolutely in love with the animation style…
