Starting tonight and running all the way to Halloween itself I’ll be taking a look at all NINE Hammer Dracula films with each review going up at 7pm.
My usual Mon-Fri morning reviews that I’ve somehow kept up with will continue as normal throughout the week, so don’t fret if you have no interest in cheesy British B movies! Have fun and … *spooky noises* or something, I don’t know.
Another Gundam series done, though unusually for an alternate universe show there is still another series and a film to talk about later down the road. Gundam SEED is an odd one, it ups the teen angst and drama while following the original Gundam series’ blueprint very closely for its first half before thankfully deviating to a more original story to end. Plus it has more Gundams than you can shake a stick at! Let’s take a final overall look then, once again a more detailed breakdown of the series in four chunks of episodes can be found by clicking on the Gundam tab above…

We reach the end of the Dalek Universe strand of stories as The Doctor and Anya end up stuck in the middle of the Movellan / Dalek war and soon meet not only the creator of the Daleks in Davros but meeting the progenitor of the Movellans as well…

Is this bandwagon jumping? Well, no, if that were the case I would’ve marathoned the series and got a review up much quicker, but I will say the show wouldn’t have been on my radar at all had its popularity not exploded. In fact I love the fact that a Korean live action drama series has become so popular worldwide given a lot of people often stick their noses up at subtitles or live action dubs. With that all being said, what did I think of the show? Funny you should ask, though the answer probably won’t surprise you…

It’s time for the final Dalek Universe set and we kick off with a more self-contained story that does at least set up the Davros and Dalek-filled two-part finale while also telling its own tale. Is that tale any good though, that’s the main question and frankly the answer is… It’s alright. Let’s take a look!

It’s time for the final Part 1 review of a season of The Walking Dead, well that’s currently airing anyway (I will go back to do the older seasons on this blog at some point…) Much to my surprise these eight episodes have had a really high hit rate, with some standout episodes reaching a real pre-Rick’s-death high. Sadly the parts of these episodes I didn’t like are the parts that are setting up the next and final story arc, so that doesn’t bode well for the other two thirds, but hey-ho… Let’s look at Part 1, shall we?

We reach the end of Gundam SEED (for those not following along, the HD version cuts out the recap episodes, which is why this ends at 48… and also why I had to change the thumbnail of a few of these reviews when I remembered that fact and had put the episode counts wrong…) and what do we get for the finale? Well, more sudden reveals than you can shake a stick at, most of which don’t land at all and are rather pointless, BUT we do get one hell of a final space battle spread out across several episodes, so more good than bad, certainly. Let’s take a look!

We reach the end of the “Box Set Era” of Bernice Summerfield (well, the “box sets not called ‘The New Adventures of” era anyway) and after a pretty poor final part to the previous box I wasn’t going into this with a lot of enthusiasm. Did it exceed my expectations? Meet them? Fail to even reach them?! Let’s find out!

Technically continuing my look at UDON’s Street Fighter comics we deviate to another CAPCOM fighting franchise in Darkstalkers, mainly because it then crosses over with Street Fighter in the next batch of comics. So does a fighting game series based on monsters and supernatural beings lend itself to a comic easier than one about fighters? Well, you’d think so, but…

My latest review for Anime UK News is the first third of the jumbled mess that is Robotech! My thoughts on the “Macross Saga” can be found by clicking HERE.
Very odd show, and one that required a fair amount of research to tell the whole story!
