This show aired early for some reason. And that means I have to write about it early. I’ve invented a new drink. One part lemon juice, two parts Budweiser, and one part Robitussin (the kids’ cough syrup shit), topped off with some bleach for a little extra kick; Clorox, usually. I call it the White Devil. I mostly ingest White Devils only before heading down to the corner of 6th and Stetson to work the dirty midnight streets — a…
I want to take the Animation Revelation blog in a new direction. Every day I grow a little older, and every day I get a little more tired of the whole “angry, negative reviewer” shtick that infests the internet like chlamydia. Ever since the Angry Nintendo Nerd first talked about taking a shit on a video game cartridge (and probably before, as well), people using rage and hatred for comedy effect have become a dime a dozen, with a new…
Aaaaaand we’re late again. As usual. But you don’t read us for our timeliness, right? Hell, who am I kidding… you don’t read us at all. Blood Lad ON THE FIRST DAY… GOD CREATED SOUL EATER! AND THE PEOPLE DEEMED IT GOOD! ON THE SECOND DAY… GOD CREATED BLUE EXORCIST! AND THE PEOPLE DEEMED IT… not so good. AND ON THE THIRD DAY… GOD CREATED BLOOD LAD! AND THE PEOPLE SAID: “…the fuck is this?”. Yup, its another goofy monster…
OBLIGATORY SPOILER WARNING (MAJOR SPOILERS INCOMING (JUST SAYIN’)) Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox is a spot-on parody of everything stupid about the DC Universe. From the Liefeld-esque character design of Aquaman to the scene in which Batman’s mom becomes The Joker, this movie is truly a hoot ‘n hollerin’ laugh-a-minute extravaganza. Not since Kick-Ass has a superhero film been so uproariously funny. Our story begins with the Justice League ripping explosive devices off of people because a bad guy named…
Aku no Hana has the worst pacing of any anime – nay, any TV show – I’ve ever seen. It’s not a terrible series by any means, but watching it is akin to staring at the grass as it grows. I was not a fan of the characters or the rotoscoped animation (which, while occasionally extremely stupid looking, is not bad enough to be worth getting worked up over), but I found the plot interesting and was occasionally taken in…
Last year, Marvel fans were greeted with the worst April Fools’ Day joke of all time: the abysmal Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon, which – despite involvement from writer Brian Michael Bendis – has absolutely nothing to do with the excellent comic book series of the same name. While many fans of the previous (and much better) series, Spectacular Spider-Man, were sore about Ultimate‘s mere existence, the truth is that SSM actually ended because of licensing issues between Marvel and Sony –…
Earlier this year, Kyoto Animation released a teaser for a potential new project. It featured a bunch of shirtless dudes swimming, complete with the crazy camera angles and energetic animation KyoAni is known for. This 30 second video started a fandom all on its own, spawning third party projects such as the wonderful Swimming Anime Dating Sim, the beta of which I actually did a reading of earlier this month. Today, the release of a PV has confirmed the swimming…

Is it… can it be…? We’re on time for once!? Aiura Well, that was an anime. Clocking in at exactly four minutes, Aiura spends about half of its first installment on the OP and ED, leaving only a little more than two minutes for the actual meat of the episode. This isn’t to say it was bad – in fact, it’s actually one of the lovelier looking TV anime in recent memory – but really, there’s almost nothing here. There…
“This is how you know you’re living in the future: when the pornography bears no earthly resemblance to sex as even the filthiest of us know it. You may as well be renting DVDs of aliens fucking.” — Warren Ellis I could never get with all that Tale of the Fisherman’s Wife shit. I mean, if you want to see a giant octopus penetrate a woman (or man… or dog), that’s cool; not my thing, though. But that’s the lighthearted…
