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.
News from around the net related to comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime, and movies.
This is one that has been on my reading list for a while know. As they say, “to many books, not enough time”, is true. Kevin J. Anderson continues his Saga of Seven Suns with his latest The Dark Between the Stars. It looks so good and the trailer just makes it look even better. I will get to them eventually. Anyway check out The Dark Between the Stars’ trailer from torforge’s YouTube channel:
Toei Animation US has begun streaming the English dubbed trailer for World Trigger. Currently you can catch episodes on Hulu and Crunchyroll. You would think that since the company went to the expense of doing an English dub that the anime will eventually make its way to DVD or Blu-ray:
Monks of Mellonwah will be releasing their Disconnect EP and to prep everyone for it they have released “Show Me Something More” to PopMatters. I really like the instrumentals on this single. I could just listen to them alone and enjoy the piece. The lyrics are just added flavoring for the single. I wish I could include the single here, but currently it is an exclusive at PopMatters website so jump on over and give “Show Me Something More” a listen – Ricahrd: http://www.popmatters.com/post/196432-monks-of-mellonwah-show-me-something-more-audio-premiere/

Well-Known Strangers will be one to consider for you playlist. With “Another Sun”, the group gives listeners a light rock/pop sound. I loved the rhythms and Betsy Ade’s Alto voice comes through nice and clear conveying the lyrics of the single really well. They have just released Found that “Another Sun” is on so grab it up and don’t let them be strangers to you. Enjoy the music video of “Another Sun” that the group is sharing with us from their YouTube channel – Richard

Lady Low is sharing with us their latest music video for the single “Hello Sweet Goodbye”. I don’t know what it is about this group, but I am still liking what they are doing. Lady Low has a way for having darkly beautiful songs. I know it sounds weird, but I can’t think of another way to say it. This single is no exception. The group pulls you in and you just absorb their music into your skin. The video they did for this single is equally absorbing. It is simply done, but I really enjoyed it. A job really well done on all accounts. Check out Lady Low’s “Hello Sweet Goodbye” from their YouTube channel – Richard:
Aniplex of America has begun streaming the trailer for the upcoming release of The Anthem of the Heart. The movie is slated for a 2015, release but no firm date is given. Check out the trailer through their YouTube channel:
