The last few games of Street Fighter have been amazing and I hope that they come out with an animation soon, I never get tired of the Streetfighter Saga. Now this stop motion animation is a work of art, it looks so damn good and surprisingly this all took two days and was done with a Nikon D5100 with very little special effects.

The new Thundercats that recently premiered on Cartoon Network got my blood pumping, I was so excited to watch the show and at the same time I was hoping that I wouldn’t be disappointed by it, thankfully the show has lived up to my initial expectations. It was a two episode premiere on Friday and will be airing every Friday. You get to see the original Thundera and a young Lion-O, how the lives of the Cats were originally and the story plays out very very well, you even get to see the original Jaga of the Thundercats. I don’t want to spoil the show for anyone but if your even a remote fan of this show you have to watch it, I felt like an excited kid watching it and when the show ended I wanted more, now I have to wait for it on Fridays.

Shin Getter Robo is a fictional mecha from Go Nagai and Ken Ishikawa’s Getter Robo universe. It first appeared in the last volume of the Getter Robo Go manga, then made famous by the Super Robot Wars series of video games. It has appeared in two separate OVAs and several of Nagai and Ishikawa’s manga.

Fewture makes one of the best models out of all the companies, moveable and almost all in metal which is very impressive. They only have a few and the moment they sell out, they start selling in the thousands. This one is from the old school Shin Getter 1 from 1993 and its mean and I love it, I have the Great Mazinger and Mazinger 1969 which are very cool. I especially love the Giant Axe with Shin Getter 1, he just looks bad ass like that.

Plot Summary: Next in the four-part Marvel Anime project and broadcasts after the Iron Man anime. Wolverine is a mutant, possessing animal-keen senses, enhanced psychical capabilities, three retracting bone claws on each hand and a healing factor that allows him to recover from virtually any wound, disease or toxin at a accelerated rate.

The anime versions of the Marvel Universe keep getting better and better, this time around Wolverine is a bad ass fighting off a part of the criminal world. There was a nice cameo of Cyclops half way through the anime. Its interesting to see the world of mutants through the eyes of Anime, its not the big struggle like it is with American animation but the story goes deep into Wolverine’s past in Japan, and you jump right into it, the story gets more twisted towards the end and lets hope for some more episodes of Wolverine. Its an action packed anime with story getting better and better, I think that the Iron Man Anime was better but this was damn good, and I can’t wait to see the X-Men anime.

Plot Summary: Takashi Komuro is a normal highschool boy, until an infection breaks out that turns people into zombie-like creatures. Along with his friends & the school nurse, they fight their way out and continue their journey to find out what exactly has happened to the world.

This really took a page out of World War Z, a couple of students stuck in school with a few zombies coming in only to find that it is a world epidemic. They all start off in different groups and you see the characters of people in this situation, where kids have to decide to kill to live or just die if they don’t try. The anime is fun and I do love seeing people with sorts and weapons, but this anime takes a turn for the funny and kinky, its serious and funny at the same time. It shows some people doing what they have to do to survive and some hold on to their humanity and some don’t, and then there is the kinky part and it shows up pretty early in the show but its just a fun quick series to watch 12 episodes, I was hoping that we would see what exactly would happen and how they would fight these zombies to an end but it seems they left that part to be continued.

Cartoon Network is bringing the Green Lantern Animated Series to TV and it took more of CGI look then the Justice League, but I hope its more adult oriented then kid oriented. I’m going to enjoy watching this.

This is great news for fans of Voltron from the 80s, the new cartoon has just aired on Nick Toons and this is what they look like. The animation is a combination of CGI and traditional animation which I think is very cool and its a winning combination. The first pic is of the very cool looking Voltron Lions inside of their Moon Base. I’m looking forward to watching this show, I’m going to let it air a few episodes before I start watching it and going to try to get my nephew into as well.

You can never have too many Gundam Models, and recently I got both colors of the Pyscho Gundam and one was turned into a space ship and the other one is in full Gundam mode. The model is one of the highest quality Gundams I have seen in a while, it really does look evil as it stands. Took me no more then 20 minutes to get it in spaceship mode and got them on their stands and on to the shelf. And right next to them is Macross model in battloid form as it sits on the shelf.

There are a lot of anime choices currently out there and you can never have enough anime. I tried putting together a list of anime which is a more on the serious or dark side of anime. Some of them are recent and some of them are close to a decade old but this list of shows are good to watch at anytime. I still have ton of shows that I need to watch and catch up on like Bleach and Naruto Shippuuden , so with these new download caps introduced by the ISPs I’m probably going to go through my cache of Anime and TV Shows.

Plot Summary: Tony Stark is a physicist, an engineer, and the CEO of a major arms manufacturing company. On a battlefield he is injured from his own weapons and taken prisoner by terrorists. In order to keep his own heart beating, he creates the Ironman Suit and escapes. Once free, Stark decides to dedicate his life to pursuing world peace with the Ironman technology, so he moves to Japan to use the resources of “Lab 23,” home of the world’s first Arc Reactor. Wanting to devote himself fully to this research, Stark decides to retire as Ironman and announce the mass-production of suits to fulfill his duties. But at the announcement ceremony he is attacked by the mysterious organization known as “Zodiac,” and his plans have to change.

Iron Man is one the best characters out of Marvel at this moment and Marvel have taken their best step yet to turn it into an Anime. Its the first to be done for a show to go from American origins to Japanese Animation, most of the time it goes from Japanese to American cartoons. And I think they did a fantastic job with Iron Man, loved the characters and all the robots and how they made Tony Stark in the Anime. I flew through the 12 episodes and wanted a lot more, they made it a darker story in the Anime and that is one of the best qualities of it, there is an enemy in the background and it gets interesting. I can’t wait for more Marvel Anime shows!
