Beautiful remake of the Macross Intro

A truly amazing work of animation. Hikaru (Rick Hunter) is one of my favorite animated characters and this short brings so many memories of the series (specially Robotech in my case). Would love to see an HD remake of the series or a movie trilogy using this style of animation and character design.

Games for a buck on the PSN Store

Taken from logonoid.com

Sony is having a huge sale called "Flash Sale" with 30 titles for a dollar each. This fantastic deal ends April 21, 2014.  If you have a PS3, PSP or PS Vita; you should consider taking advantage of this deal. More info after the jump.

Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist looks epic!!!

Check Ryu's trailer above. This web series is truly the work of people who genuinely love Street Fighter. It looks impressive, even better than the Street Fighter Legacy short film that the team produced some years ago. The series will debut on Machinima YouTube channel before being released in disc and digital formats.

Hollywood, this is how you do adaptations of video games (or any other source material). Get someone who respects the source material. This is the first time a Street Fighter live action project looks worthy of watching. It is also the first one to portrait Ryu and Ken as the main characters. The characters look good and close to their video game counterparts. If only The King of Fighters got this treatment (I'll review that live action movie when I find the courage to watch it again).

Adventures of Superman (2013) is coming to an end...

or so it seems judging from the description of the series latest issue:

"In the series' final chapter, legends Jerry Ordway and Steve Rude tell the story of Superman's first encounter with a hero from the future--OMAC: the One-Man Army Corps"

Well, it was good while it lasted. This digital-first anthology had some of the best Superman stories in years. We'll have to wait and see if another volume is released (like Injustice) of is replased by a different title altogether. Adventures of Superman can be found in the Comixology website (and smartphone app) and in print edition.

Corbert to replace Letterman as the host of the Late Show

I love late night talk shows (I rarely watch them because of work but I catch up with YouTube clips) and the announcement of  David Letterman retirement from CBS Late Show came out of nowhere. After days of speculations the successor was been chosen and is none other than Stephen Colbert. This is very exciting since it is more likely that we will meet another phase of Colbert besides his conservative character featured in his Comedy Central show. Still, it sad that to see the Colbert Report go. Stephen's premiere night as the new host will be sometime in 2015.

Getter Robo 40th Anniversary

40 years ago, the late Ken Ishigawa and Go Nagai (of Mazinger Z fame) created one of the most influential Super Robots series, Getter Robo.  It follows the adventures of Ryoma, Hayato and Musashi, the pilots of three plane-like vehicles that can combine into three different robots; as they fight evil dinosaurs, demons, shape-shifting aliens and sometimes themselves. It is one of the first (if not the first) transforming robot and appears in almost every Super Robot Wars game.
