In many instances, apart from some subtitles or narration dubs, there is no difference between an American trailer for a major studio release and its foreign counterpart. However, this latest Japanese trailer for J.J. Abrams' 'Star Trek Into Darkness' has a few snippets of new footage and, most notably, a shot…

If you aren't a fan of the pointy haired lawyer by now then.... wait. Why did you click on this then? Get out of here you! There now that they're gone we can talk about Ace Attorney. No English or even subtitles to be found in this trailer, but we do get to see this new art style in action. On the whole I'm really satisfied with how it looks. Some fans were worried when they announced they would no longer be using 2D sprites but they seem to have been able to keep the look and feel of the…

For everyone’s info, this is an anthology of deaths in an alphabetical order, just like the title says. I like how it started with some Sweeney Todd/The Shining opening…

Suda 51's upcoming game "Killer is Dead" got its' second trailer today. I'm assuming the English dubbed version will be available in the coming weeks so if reading subtitles isn't your thing then skip this one. We are getting more characters and enemies we are able to see yet I'm still finding it difficult to find a plot in here. There are hit men, some mystery surrounding who the protagonist is working for, a kidnapping, and it looks like aliens as well. Why the hell not? You must leave any…

Still not entirely sure how I feel about Gore Verbinski's 'The Lone Ranger,' but at this point, I'm going in only with the expectation that I will have fun. I must say, this Japanese trailer for the film certainly plays favorably to that expectation. Though a goodly amount of the trailer is the same as the…

I never thought I would find myself anticipating the sequel to 'G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.' I found Stephen Sommer's 2009 adaptation of the cartoon series/toy line to be too stupid and CG-laden to be as fun as it should have been. But the trailer for …

The first Phase 2 movie that we'll see next year is Shane Black's 'Iron Man 3,' and there is no small amount of anticipation there. When the first trailer hit the web not so long ago, it was clear we were in for a decidedly darker Iron Man story. Now a trailer from Japan has hit the web, which offers…

The scope and scale of Peter Jackson's 'The Hobbit,' now a trilogy, sometimes manages to swallow up the pure magic of its storytelling. I'm sure once we see the movie, it will present a totally immersing theatrical experience as did the previous trilogy, but the abundance of super garish marketing…

Let it be known that I am a fan of the Penny Arcade show "Extra Credits."  Their show is rather interesting when it comes to the subject of what makes games fun and how the industry fits in contemporary culture.  In their most recent "Games You Might Not Have Tried" episode, one title stuck out to the point where, yes, I had to try it.  And ended up reviewing it for Spill since, you know, I'm…

Every once in a while a "brand new" trailer will be released which is really nothing more than a re-edit of the footage we've already seen in previous trailers or TV spots. The recently released Japanese trailer for Joss Whedon's 'The Avengers' on the other hand is a veritable font of previously unseen footage from the…

Masashi Kishimoto’s popular series about a world of ninjas and ninjutsu has become one of Shonen Jump’s biggest manga series of all time and the volumes have sold millions of copies worldwide, as well as having an anime television series, trading cards, toys, a clothing range and many other merchandise.

This week sees the release of the english-translation of volume fifty two (an achievement in itself to reach such a high number) and after all this time, Kishimoto and his art team…

They're both good but Paprika came first (and has color, imagination, fun, was original, and did not rip of the Matrix).

Paprika is owned by Sony Pictures Entertainment. Inception is owned by Warner…

This is quite a magical feat for sure!





The animation is sometimes jarring but in a very good way and the drawing and detail are dizzyingly amazing.



Must watch, enjoy: from io9

(Korey and Co-Host insprired me to tell this tale from this week's LDT!)



Okay, I'm a 5'10, Latifah Large Black Woman who doesn't like fish. What the hell was I doing in the land of the rising sun?



Well, I was teaching English for a year. I'd just completed a tour of Europe, and right before that, had graduated University. So I find myself in this the town of Nakatsugawa Japan (2hrs from Nagoya), population of about 50 000. 49 980 of them Japanese.



It was summer,… Continue

Ok so I'm really excited about this movie because it looks the most like the Ani Movie that I loved back in the day.I've seen the english version but this one is a lil better to me. I would definitely buy this and that says alot I don't buy dvds. I don't know if this is up yet. I'm praying that they don't make her half vampire like blade but for all you fools that say that dragonball evolution looks good or that its ridiculous. I'm betting that this will be a good anime… Continue
