Here we have four 15 minute OVA stories that were originally extras on the Japanese releases. Why they got a stand alone release I don’t know, but hey-ho. That’s neither here not there… Given they take place before the main story, and now we have been introduced to all the characters featured on it, it seemed like a good time to cover it.
My first re-watch of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood continues with the next set of six episodes. The lead villains step out of the shadows, unwelcome truths are revealed, and not everyone makes it out alive… *sigh*….
I recently decided it was long overdue to re-watch this series. I loved it when I first watched it and picked up the blu-rays a year or two back, but wanted to wait until I was in the right mood and had forgotten as much as I could about the plot. Well, now is the time, I’m looking forward to charting my second journey with Edward and Alphonse Elric on this blog…
After all these years, a multi-Master story finally happens! Geoffrey Beevers’ melty-faced Master meets Alex Macqueen’s sarcastic baldy Master, with the Seventh Doctor caught in the middle. Sounds good to me!
Drax? That cockney Time Lord from the boring Armageddon Factor? Why would I want to listen to a new story with him? Well, as it turns out, there was a very fun story to tell with the forgotten character…
Only being previously familiar with Part III I find myself once again in the unknown of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, now with its fourth set of lead characters (minus the returning Jotaro, though he seemingly isn’t a frequent as the newer members of the cast). What kind of start does Diamond is Unbreakable get off to? Well, a bizarre one, funnily enough!
The WWE Network comes up with the goods again as the Cruiserweight Classic, 32 wrestlers (mostly not under a WWE deal) from all over the world take part in an elimination tournament. The presentation is based on “if it were a real sport”, which makes it completely different to anything I’ve seen, and that’s a good thing…
Although being overshadowed by the long-awaited debut of the Cruiserweight Classic, NXT continues onwards and gives us a show based around a single match: Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Finn Balor. Does it live up to the hype?
Well, if you had to pick a Patrick Troughton / Second Doctor story to start with, you can’t get more predictable than this! Seriously, if I knew these stories would be on my blog first, I would have picked something less obvious. Still, I would have got to it eventually, so… off we go!
Before deciding to do this blog I started a mini-marathon of one story for each Doctor, with each story being one I hadn’t seen / heard in ages. Seems like a good way to start filling out the “coming soon…” bits of the blog! For the First Doctor I chose this famous story, the second ever Dalek story and the first to show aliens of any kind invading Earth (even if it was a future version of it). How does it hold up (not including special effects, for obvious reasons…) ?
