I thought about not posting this because most people have already seen it. However, my family enjoys Doctor Who that I could not post it without getting in trouble with them. Get ready for the 12th Doctor as Peter Capaldi takes the helm.
In this trailer we get to see more of the live-action scene’s from Kiki’s Delivery Service. Of course we see Kiki, played by Fuka Koshiba, and for the first time we get to see her companion Jiji, the black cat, voiced by Minako Kotobuki. The background song is the theme song to the movie entitled “Wake Me Up” performed by Mai Kuraki. The movie is set to be released in Japan on March 1 and then hopefully by the end of the year fans can purchase it for their collections. Thanks to “maidigitv” for sharing the following trailer:
On Master Blacksmith Tony Swatton’s webseries, Man at Arms he recently created Elric’s spear from Fullmetal Alchemist, Brotherhood. It’s a cool episode and only lasts 5 minutes and 41 seconds so check it out below. Thanks to the “AWE me” channel on YouTube and AnimeNews Network for the heads up:
ADRIAN RELEASES NEW ALBUM
BE YOUR OWN SAVIOUR
Soaked in dark grunge and 90’s alt rock, Adrian has the power trio of powerful female vocals, slick guitar notes and great production behind the release of her new album Be Your Own Saviour. The angst and aggression paired with her edgy style create an album that satisfies those looking for hard tunage with just a slight hint of appealing pop.
The album is a heavy rock journey of melancholy nostalgia with Adrian cooing against shaded guitar notes and gritty drum beats. Adrian, never one to leave a listener unelectrified, sewed her songs together and created a solid album that will leave grungy arena pop fans salivating for more.
“I have mixed feelings about Adrain. There are multiple elements of her music that I enjoy but I’m not sure if it vibes well all put together. Her song Bluespace was an instrumental song, which I have no problem with. The song just never really went anywhere, it got a little boring, to put it bluntly. Her other songs were a little hard for me to listen to as well. The music seemed to be fighting each other instead of complimenting one another. I wasn’t a big fan of the album cover either, it was a bit weird to me and didn’t make a lot of sense.”
-April B.

Here’s a new look at the Frankenstein story. This movie is more of what I would call a Horror/Adventure than a straight up Horror movie. It looks like a fun movie and with the adventure side to it will help with cross over appeal. Thanks to “Machinima” on YouTube for the following trailer:
