Fall Anime First Impressions

Posted by: sidereeldom on: October 5, 2010

Welcome to Fall 2010! We’re about halfway through the premieres, and I’ve watched a good chunk so far. I’m more excited about this season than I’ve been in a while, and some pillars like To Aru Majutsu no Index and The World God Only Knows are yet to air. With that in mind, here’s a [...]

Star Driver Trailer Made of Fine Cheese and Distilled Wonder

Posted by: sidereeldom on: September 2, 2010

Star Driver, from Studio Bones, has everything required to be legendary. Giant robots? Check. Preposterous posturing? Check. Good animation and character designs? Check. A sense of humor about itself and a good feel for the ridiculous? Check and check. Its main character calls himself the “Ginga Bishounen” (Galactic Prettyboy). How can this possibly go wrong?

Iron Man Anime Trailers Online

Posted by: sidereeldom on: September 1, 2010

Over at the Marvel Anime page for the upcoming Iron Man series, Marvel has posted a trio of trailers for everyone’s favorite alcoholic superhero. They’re brief and don’t show much of the animation, but it’s pretty telling to see how stilted the CG is. I’m still looking forward to it to see if they get [...]

Super Robot Wars OG ~The Inspector~ Trailer Feeds the Robot Soul

Posted by: sidereeldom on: August 30, 2010

Well, we have our first look at the new Super Robot Wars OG series ready, and I’m cautiously optimistic. While it’s pretty awesome seeing the Alt Eisen and the Weissritter in action again, the character designs are pretty lackluster. I have low expectations Super Robot Wars anime based on how badly Divine Wars went, so [...]

Comic Market 78 came and went with a great deal of fanfare last weekend, and animation studios didn’t miss the opportunity to tease hundreds of thousands of fans with their upcoming shows. If you’re willing to endure the sound being drowned out by the buzz of a convention floor, hit the jump and check out [...]

Mazinkaizer SKL Will Burn You Up

Posted by: sidereeldom on: August 9, 2010

Are you ready for nonstop robot battle action? The new super robot OAV from old master Go Nagai, Mazinkaizer SKL, is coming soon! The most powerful machine in Go Nagai’s universe (unless you count UFO Robot Grendizer, which he refuses to compare to Mazinkaizer) is going to get a three part mini-series this winter, and they [...]

With Comic Market 78 coming this weekend, there is a helluva lot of fall anime being put on display in anticipation of the year’s biggest otaku event. First in line: Infinite Stratos, the girls-in-powered-suits sci-fi action/romcom from Eight Bit. A new 90-second trailer has been posted on the official site, and fans are already hailing [...]

FUNimation is always good for a truckload of announcements at an anime convention, and they didn’t disappoint at this year’s Otakon. At its panel in Baltimore, they announced a handful of series that should please all segments of the fan population. For the ladies, they have Hetalia World Series, the third season of the uber-popular [...]
