We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.
Justice League: War is the next direct to video Warner Bros. Animation feature. This is one you will want to pick up for you animation collection. Especially if you already have the rest of the DC Comic Animated features. It is scheduled to be released in February. Thanks to “MOVIECLIPS Trailers” channel on YouTube for the following trailer:
The Japanese Retailers seem to have the coolest connections than anywhere else. The 7 Eleven’s in Japan has teamed up with Bandai again for a store promotional. Starting mid-January the stores will begin selling an exclusive Gundam model kit. Which is pictured above. If we could get our stores to do promotionals like this it would be really cool.

Bearstronaut
Bearstronaut set to play SXSW March 2014
Whether on stage or on record, the Boston-based electronic-pop quartet has made a name in their hometown for sparking instant dance parties. Despite their Northeast origins, Bearstronaut has been dubbed “tank-top pop” due to their warm, tropical synth-pop sound – or as Interview Magazine put it, “a nimble sprint through tropical rhythms and beach-side dance party revelry.”
Bearstronaut recently performed the highly anticipated Boston Calling Music Festival alongside Solange, Kendrick Lamar, and Vampire Weekend. They have also shared the stage with acts such as Passion Pit, fun., A-Trak, Bad Rabbits, St. Lucia, Body Language, the Shout Out Louds, Surfer Blood and Divine Fits. Be sure to catch Bearstronaut at their SXSW performance in Austin!
I LOVE this group!! I love the hard driving bass and the electrifying techno they put on top was like the icing on the cake! I was immediately into their songs from the beginning and kept my attention the whole time. Their lyrics are awesome and I really like the retro feel to their music. The only thing I didn’t like was not getting to listen to this group sooner!

I like the instrumentals a lot in Heaviest of Weights. Their use of percussion and guitar was awesome and added a lot to the song for me. I’ve always loved strong instrumentals in a song. The rhythms of their songs were all really cool and I never got bored listening to them. The opening lyrics for Heaviest of Weights were a bit too sharp to me. It felt strange having such a cool, mellow opening and then having a jarring higher pitched lyrics come after it. It stopped me from enjoying the song as much as I would’ve liked. Overall Cooper is definintly a group that will stay on my radar and I hope all of yours too. I can’t wait to watch them rise to their full potential. I have a feeling their going to be a force to reckon with.
