Feature: An Adult’s Guide to Animation

To help promote the upcoming movie Soeul Station, which is an animated prequel film to the live-action Train to Busan movie, we’ve teamed up with STUDIOCANAL (and PR firm Fetch Publicity) to publicise this feature they have produced listing a variety of ‘adult themed’ animated movies; including the ever popular Ghost in the Shell movie which (coincidentially enough) is recieving a live-action later this month.

It goes without saying that this isn’t a comprehensive guide that list all ‘animated films for adults’ but it does a good job of highlighting the important aspects and trends that have taken place over the past twenty years in feature length films. So without further a do; let us introduce you to the zombie filled animated film known as Seoul Station.

Feature: Top Anime Characters from Bandai Namco Entertainment Games

Throughout the past decade Japanese anime games, such as those based upon Dragon Ball, Naruto and in turn Digimon, have steadily become main stream and in some cases a yearly presense within the games market. But; while this is a good thing, especially for anime fans such as ourselves, do you know where the characters originated form or more importantly what the popular characters are?

Well with Digimon World: Next Order, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 and Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4: Road to Boruto all being released in the coming months we thought we would give you a closer look to some of the popular characters in these franchises with this  ‘unique’ feature; so let us begin!

The Disappointing Truth: Full Metal Panic – Ultimate Edition

Due for release on the 7^th December 2015 the UK Blu-ray debut of the entire Full Metal Panic franchise is something to get quite excited for if you are a fan of the franchise; however this excitement also comes at a great cost… and I’m not referring to its three digit retail price tag.

For those who attended the London MCM Comic Con in October advanced copies of the set, known as the Ultimate Edition, were available for purchase and considering its relatively competitive £90 price tag it had (for reference its £110 on Amazon UK) I opted to pick-one-up and explore its collectable goodness; unfortunately however what happened next came as a bit of a disappointment; and i apologise in advance if it sounds like i’m nagging.
