Majestic Prince [Anime Review]

It has been a little while since I sat down and watched a Giant Robot anime.
It felt good. This one really felt like going back to the old school giant robot genre.

Doctor Who series 8 - In the Forests of the Night (episode 10) [TV Review]

Yet another wonderful poster from Radio Times.
I knew I heard the episode title elsewhere. I knew it, but could not place it. However a cursory internet search turned up a poem by William Blake in 1794.

"Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?"

FURY [Movie Review]

This may be the first movie in decades that I've actually gone with my father to see in a theater. He likes historical movies, but usually has no interest in actually going to the 'over-priced' theaters. And of course the seniors discount (a whole amazing $0.25 - wow!) was somewhat insulting.

Star Wars Rebels [TV Review]

Well if I have to give anything to Disney for their acquisition of Lucas Film, and the Star Wars franchise, it will be this. They will produce it. They will milk that IP for everything it can produce, and since it is in a Galaxy that is Far Far away, there is a lot of territory to cover.

Doctor Who series 8 - Flatline (episode 9) [TV Review]

I absolutely love these Radio Times retro-Who posters.
This is a very Clara centric episode.
This is also a pretty comedic episode.
The whole thing is rather fun.

A Certain Scientific Railgun S [Anime Review]

This series is the sequel to A Certain Scientific Railgun, a series set in the same world as A Certain Magical Index (which also has a sequel). I'm not certain, but I think the Japanese title sounds better. Ignoring the morass of complex kanji (とある科学の超電磁砲), it reads as Toaru Kagaku no Rērugan.

Doctor Who series 8 - Mummy on the Orient Express (episode 8) [TV Review]

Again, a wonderful poster from The Radio Times.
This episode was not what I was expecting. Not at all. I was expecting an episode closer to Turn Left or Midnight from back in the David Tennant years. You know, the Doctor solo / Companion solo episodes.

Ninja Nonsense [Dusty Shelf Anime Review]

I flipped to the back of the last DVD of Ninja Nonsense to check the copyright. 2004 for the original work, and 2006 for the RightStuff DVD. I would bet money that this has just be sitting on my shelf gathering dust for 8 years. Good thing I finally got around to watching it.

Extra History [Youtube Review]

This is a first. I'm reviewing a Youtube channel.
I hope you have heard of Extra Credits, an awesome channel that reviews games, highlights obscure games, and more.

Doctor Who series 8 - Kill the Moon (episode 7) [TV Review]

Yet another fantastic cover from the RadioTimes.
I am of two minds with this weeks Doctor Who episode. And, yes, I do realize that my update is late again. It happens, I try to keep to a schedule but that is not always possible. I do at least get 3 updates a week out.

Ikigami [Manga Review]

It has been a while since I wrote up a manga review. However since I just finished this series, it seemed a fine time to write one. Ikigami: the Ultimate Limit has perhaps one of the least adequate subtitles of any series.
