In the interest of full disclosure, my knowledgebase tends to lean heavily more towards the film side – but after watching the second season opener to USA Network‘s The Purge, I’m finding myself gaining a better appreciation for the franchise. More importantly, I’m getting a better appreciation for the franchise’s entire universe – the most […]
Lacking for anime to fill your days with? I have this problem where I binge-watch anime for days and don’t know what to do with my life afterwards. Luckily, Netflix is one of those services that always seems to be there, to come to my aid and the one app that consistently works on my […]
Funimation‘s My Hero Academia season 4 premiered this weekend, and it definitely did not disappoint – serving as an effective “welcome back” to the series for viewers. I am usually a fan of the transitions between seasons and arcs but can be cautious with how they’re handled – but no worries this with “The Scoop […]
Funimation gave the Otaku crowd a chance to experience a taste of what is to come in the fourth season of My Hero Academia, set to premiere on Saturday, October 12. They were kind enough to show us a compilation of the first three episodes of the season. Here’s a look at some of our […]
With episode three “Perfect Pairs,” ABC‘s Modern Family shoots back up to steadier footing after the fiasco that was last week’s outing. It was definitely much more enjoyable and did get some laughter from me again. Even though the show can get repetitive when it comes to certain themes or characters—most noticeable when it comes […]
On Friday during the anime’s NYCC panel/screening at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden, Funimation gave us a chance to experience some My Hero Academia before it premieres later in October. The panel was moderated by Jacki Jing (Nerdist/IGN) who announced right away that they had a big treat for us: a compilation of […]
After last week’s welcome return in the form of opener “New Kids on the Block,” ABC‘s Modern Family took a slap-sticky step backward with a disappointing second episode of the show’s 11th and final season, “Snapped“. Honestly, I had to rewatch this episode before making my way to NYCC, and I could not remember anything […]
There is something about Harry Potter that never fails to give me goosebumps and bring tears to my eyes. This time was no different. At NYCC, we had the chance to experience the magic behind the scenes of movement in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child with the cast and crew. Moderating the panel, we […]
At NYCC we had the chance to sit through the panel of RWBY. On stage we had the cast and creators of the Rooster Teeth web series, RWBY, Kerry Shawcross (writer/director) and the voice actors Miles Luna (Jaune), Linsay Jones (Ruby Rose), Kara Emberle (Weiss), Arryn Zech (Blake), and Barbara Dunkelman (Yang). We got a […]
The beloved 90’s children television show Ghostwriter is coming back as a reboot series thanks to Apple TV+, when the streaming services launches in November. The original concept behind the mystery series focused on a ghost who connects with a group of kids at their local library. He communicates with them through writing and helps […]
ABC‘s Modern Family premiered its 11th and final season – and after so many years of following the Pritchetts, Dunphys, and Pritchett-Tuckers, it’s incredibly bittersweet to have to wish them a season-long farewell. Which is why I was impressed with season-opener “New Kids on the Block” starting off with a “mini-bang”, it was a solid […]
With ABC’s Modern Family premiering its 11th and final season next week, it has been stirring all sorts of weird “feels” inside me. While it is always good to see shows actually have an ending, it also becomes a bit nostalgic to see characters you have come to love say goodbye—like a good friend who […]
Despite my feelings regarding Apple TV+, I had to swallow my pride as one of their reveals hit me right in my 7-year-old “feels” with the news that the streaming service was bringing back Ghostwriter. In Latin America, ghostwriter was shown on Discovery Kids – I used to love that channel as it was big […]
One evening… that is all it took for me to burn through the 8-episodes of Amazon Prime‘s Carnival Row, starring Orlando Bloom (Rycroft Philostrate) and Cara Delevigne (Vignette Stonemoss). I created an account just to watch the show, and while I had some issues with pacing and a few bumps here and there, I was […]
Earlier this week, Cartoon Network premiered Steven Universe: The Movie and after years of following the adventures of Steven Universe and the Crystal Gems, my expectations for this movie were pretty high – and it certainly did not disappoint. As an objective viewer, was it perfect? No, it treaded some pretty familiar territory and at […]
Carnival Row with Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevigne premiered on Amazon Prime over this past weekend – and as we finish binging the remainder of the season, we wanted to take a few minutes to let you know if series opener “Some Dark God Wakes” did its part to introduce viewers to the show’s world… […]
So I woke up to the second official trailer for My Hero Academia season 4, thanks to the fine folks at Funimation. I got goosebumps – but after screaming for over a minute, I was able to compose myself. This will be the season that will punch our guts and have us throwing things at […]
The one advantage I had growing up outside of the US was access to anime on cable TV. I never really thought about that until I moved to NY 13 years ago. There were a couple of WTF moments regarding anime here in the US that I had absolutely no idea about… before the days […]
Today, Disney+ used the occasion of the D23 Expo to reveal the official trailer for a show I’m pretty excited about—probably the one I’m most excited about out of all of the announcements that have rolled out today: The World According to Jeff Goldblum. It seems each episode will feature our beloved Goldblum (as he […]
When I considered my list of angry TV moments to write about for this article, I went through a lot of wondrous crappy moments like Jay Jay The Jet Plane, the last episode of Showtime‘s Dexter’s, censored anime (ahem – Sailor Moon characters Sailor Pluto and Sailor Uranus were “cousins” at one point in the US… […]
