Gurren Lagann: The Dub Review

The Gurren Lagann dub premiered for the first time on Sci-Fi tonight…

The short and simple of it? It’s not so bad.

So dub’s often get a bad rap, often for good reason. With much anticipation Gurren Lagann fans with little or nothing to do sat around and watched the premiere of the first two dubbed episodes on the Sci-Fi Channel. And boy, what a commercially studded event that was (more on that to come, trust me (fucking Sci-Fi)).

For those unfamiliar with the show, you’re way behind the times. You can read up on Gurren Lagann here and check out a ton of Gurren Lagann images (including the cut Eye Catches) here. Unfortunately this is set to hit as big as Evangelion, and be ruined by a shitty fan base shortly there after. read more

Batman: The Dark Knight Review (SPOILERS)

Tuesday afteroon I saw the latest Batman movie, The Dark Knight, at a local theater. Pre-movie, I scoped out the trailer to Christian Bale’s next no-doubt-blockbuster, the fourth Terminator movie (which means now there’ll be two too many). I also sat awkwardly through the trailer for the upcoming movie adaptation of Alan Moore’s Watchmen, directed by Zack Synder, who also directed the adaptation of Frank Miller’s 300. While it does seem like it might make interesting watching, I still think some comic stories are best left on page. Watchmen deconstructed the superhero comic genre, the movie isn’t going to do anything so bold. I can see it going over people’s heads, that is, even if they do it justice. But hell, who am I kidding? I’ll go see it. Sorry, Mr. Moore. Really, I am. read more

ArtsNow.com: Shirt Review Part 1

The other week on /m/ a link to ArtsNow.com appeared along with a few nifty coupons. Taking the opportunity I ‘designed’ a few shirts and placed an order. A week and a half later a bag arrived on my doorstop, a customs declared gift, complete with return address to a random Hong Kong P.O. box. This is the story of those shirts…

About the Designs

For the designs I used some nice vectors with transparent backgrounds. If you’re interested…

Team Gurren Logo (Gurren Lagann) (close, looking for original version)
Kitten (Gurren Lagann) [I Plan to upload soon] Whole Group (Gurren Lagann) [I Plan to upload soon] Skull Squadron Logo minus Shield & Sword (Macross Frontier)
Sector 9 Logo (Ghost in the Shell) read more

Batman: Gotham Knight, a delicious appetizer

Any fan of Batman’s latest reincarnation following Batman Begins and the upcoming Dark Knight will want to check out the straight to DVD release of Batman: Gotham Knight.

Yet another great release from DC Comic’s animated movie release Gotham Knight takes a cue from the Animatrix and presents six short stories. Fortunately for use Gotham Knight doesn’t suffer from the grueling flaws in the Animatrix.

Gotham Knight’s six separate stories have been crafted by different writers and animators to give them each their own feel. While essentially unrelated there exist little connections in theme between each story so that they manage to flow together quite well. read more

Jott for BlackBerry: Quick Review

Recently Jott, best known for their general voice-to-text translation services expanded further into the mobile market with Jott for BlackBerry.

The premise is pretty simple, after signing up and installing the application to your BlackBerry you can dictate email replies straight from your mailbox. Unfortunately those of you who haven’t upgraded or purchased a new BlackBerry in a while will not be able to mess around with this feature. It’s only available on the Curve (8300), Perl (8100) and 8800.

Simple

School Days

So School Days is one of those anime that you watch and you think to yourself, “Haven’t I seen this shit before?”. And then you get to the end of the first episode and you’re still thinking the same thing. You know, first impressions usually mean a lot, but when first impressions are usually ….less than stellar and that seems to be the norm for first episodes, you gotta keep with it. Usually, to get the best experience you watch the series as a whole (Usually at least if it’s 12 episodes, you can trek on).
