Hand Drawn Robot Alert! - Dr Stone Science Future episode 26

The knowingly "retro" aesthetics in Go for It, Nakamura! are quite effective. Unfortunately it is still a milquetoast modern rom-com.

Was not expecting Digimon Beatbreak to turn into From Beyond.

This Weeks Editorial Cartoon: Funnybonesaw

With the news of Speed Racer coming back to the cinema, I realised today that the reason I was so underwhelmed by it was because this came out a week earlier in 2008.

On a brand new DRAWN OR ALIVE, @brianditb.bsky.social forms up the Let's Go Gang with us to measure the merits of The Beano's own Dennis The Menace, be it his syndicated TV cartoon form or the tenuously related version as seen in Alan Moore's Northampton noir! www.drawnoralive.com/2026/03/show...

Great looking Ed Asner figure (presumably from the film The Wrestler)

Storm & Wolverine are the only important X-Men.

DC One Million. The greatest of those "disrupt the line for just one month" events.

I guess "whatever happened to Mamiko Ikeda (screenwriter on Atashin'chi, Sgt Frog etc)?" is a question I will ask repeatedly throughout my life without remembering the answer (moved to Italy, apparently).

When Your Doctor's a FUJOSHI!

At Toru Hirose's flashback now and it'd further driving home that not only is this a better version of Y3, it's also where the series starts again.

The Me and the Alien MuMu manga is p. good.

aww, darn. So the "tulpa" (as used since the 1970s) is actually derived from the Theosophical writings of Annie Besant and the gullibility/whimsy of Alexandra David-Neel rather than from actual Tibetan Buddhism. (Mikles & Laycock, "Tracking the Tulpa," Nova Religio v19n1 (Aug 2015):87-97)

Three nights of sleeping with earplugs and three mornings of waking up after 0730. So I think it's safe to say it was my neighbour leaving for work pre-0600 that was waking me up at obscenely early hours.

Forgot how fun the fights vs the 2017 NJPW roster are in Yakuza 6. Makes me wish RGG tried their hands at a proper wrestling game.

This is good to hear, as the last season ended on a nice, original beat that made me wonder if they hadn't been renewed.

Whoops. Went to check something in the Golden Kamuy manga and ended up reading the entire finale again. The way a certain character's survival is revealed right at the end is so delightful.

Yakuza 6 is a good re-play as the layers of irony in the script come through stronger when you know what secrets people are hiding. Coming straight off of Kiwami 3, it's just strengthening my feelings that 6 is doing what 3 was attempting, but with much more competence.

Chainsaw Man Finale: giving the most obnoxious readers what they've been begging for this entire run to make them realise that's not what they wanted.

Doing a fairly sedate replay of Yakuza 6 due to the new ending of Kiwami 3. I'd be getting along a lot faster if Maron the cat ever decided to spawn in.

As another middle aged man whose brain frequently forgets it's contained in a middle aged body, I am glad I am not committing my hubris and vanity to celluloid in the way Dwayne Johnson does.

My events have been approved by Kitacon, so now anything left to the last minute is firmly on my shoulders.

Good news, when I do this again at Kitacon this year, I will have time for DETECTIVE GORDON.

Half-star reviews of my Letterboxd top 4.

mfw when I've been yelled at, but the giant squirrel I recently befriended is there for me.

That's Kiwami 3 platinum'd.

QUESTION: Is the Two Ronnies theme officially Peak Hazelhurst? I mean, there's a lot of competition for that crown, but I think it is.

Fucking hell Life-man, keep it light. Some great writing that recontextualises a lot of series so far.

That Jo Amon fight in Kiwami 3 is too long. But thankfully not hard, so you are likely to only have your time wasted once. The other, new Amon fight is much better and the challenge level is pitched much better.

Move over isekai, anthropomorphic asses are all set to be the hot new anime trend this year.

Not only does the Dark Ties Survival Hell and Brawler Hell modes have the most evidence that Sujimon are in fact real, an actual wizard shows up.

Kiwami 3's changes to the end of Yakuza 3 are fine when you bear in mind that it is in a sequence of: 0, K1, 6, K2, LAD, Man Who, IW, Pirate Yakuza, K3 It is not in a sequence of: 0, K1, K2, K3, 4, 5, 6 etc.

*Tim Vine jokes erroneously credited to Tommy Cooper again klaxon*

Amazingly people are still complaining about Netflix releasing Steel Ball Run in a batch even though they didn't.

Aggrevated the muscles I hurt falling up the stairs of the theatre last week. You would think at my age that I would have learnt to take it easy after a fall, but my brain is frequently acting like my body is still in its early twenties despite all the evidence to the contrary.

Why would you adapt "The Other" for your Spider-Man movie?

Weird that I've watched two things this week featuring clowns acting as v. poor defence lawyers to characters who are gagged.

Trying to remember why exactly I had called a Mr. Tawky Tawny / Paddington Bear mashup character I was planning to use in my superhero RPG campaign "Waltham Cross"? It's a train station, but why did I pick that one?

mfw it's getting interesting.

The first short film from Toei Animation's in-house program "Pro, Pro, Pro!!" is out: "Mugen∞Anime". >> www.catsuka.com/breves/2026-...

Must resist turning this Kitacon event into another stats based project - the increased number of police-based anime over time is not something unique to anime or Japan. Charting that explosion would involve far too big a data set for a panel designed to show clips of Mad Bull and Global Astroliner.

Great. I have "Bink's Brew" stuck in my head again.

I do appreciate that One Piece is in the "just put a wig/hair dye on" camp for de-aging actors in flashbacks. We're already going along with enough on the show that we can easily briefly accept Clive Russell playing much younger than 80.

The answer to the trolley problem is to get one of those keyrings that has a little circular plastic fob on it that's the same size as a pound coin
