Strider's Sci-Fi

Looks like the Daisuki streaming animation site is now live! Because, you know, I didn’t have enough online streaming services to watch anime on already, so I needed this. If, like me, you need more streaming anime in your life, sign up today and check them out. Also, starting today as part of their launch [...]

Movies this week include a ton of things released previously on DVD and now coming out on Blue Ray, like Hitchcock, but they have been available in some format for a while, so not new as such. The best of the new releases looks to be The Assassin’s Blade, the Jingle Ma 2008 film out [...]

This one is truly strange; Scooby Doo and Twin peaks collide. In fact it happened twice, in two separate episodes, both silly fun to watch. The info comes fromThe Mary Sue, and the heads-up was courtesy of Topless Robot.

Crunchyroll has started playing the spring anime season shows, and it is off to a great start; you can see the lineup here. I thought I should mention a few of the ones that look promising to me in case you might want to check them out. Attack On Titan is a tale of humanity [...]

Fairly thin on the shelves this week, Jurassic Park 3D is the only movie of note, and it is left over from 1993, updated for some new technology. Unlike many movies that have been updated to a 3D format, this one is quite worth the effort, in that the 3D processing actually enhances the film [...]

I first posted the following a few weeks ago, and thanks to the newsletter from Smith Micro I now know this new project is not Machinima, but is being created in Poser Pro. I didn’t know you could get that kind of Anime style from the software, I find myself quite impressed. RWBY won’t be [...]

Nozomi Entertainment has a channel full of their own Anime for you to stream and enjoy, as does Right Stuff (even though the latter is all silly). This is yet another streaming source that gives you entire episodes of anime programs, although in this case they save the cost of installing, configuring, and running their [...]

A Vimeo Staff Pick, this animation about what horror movie serial killers do on their day of is a hoot. Built by Kristjan Lyngmo with a bit of attitude and style, it will hopefully inspire budding animators to give their own pet projects a shot. Thanks to io9 and a dozen others (but they got [...]

Rooster Teeth, the folks who brought us that masterpiece of combat comedy Red Vs. Blue, have a tasty new animation project: RWBY. The latest trailer is the top one, the Black trailer. After that are the earlier trailers, the White and Red. They haven’t released the Yellow trailer yet, but this will give you an [...]

Ok, not QUITE back yet, but coming soon, at least, as this trailer for Despicable Me 2 tends to indicate. I love the minions, and they have yet another opportunity to become their insane selves in the new movie. It should be hitting the big screen on July 3rd, just in time for some holiday [...]
