James May: Our Man in Japan is a new travel series from Amazon, charting an eleven week trip in Japan, from its northern coast to its southern coast, by presenter James May.

My Hero Academia and the Horrifying Nature of Quirks
My Hero Academia is one of the most bizarre anime series I have ever seen. Not because it’s challenging, or intricate, or even that high concept, but because it lacks any semblance of logic. Now, that’s not to say I don’t like My Hero Academia. On the contrary, I watched both seasons with great enthusiasm,ContinueContinue reading “My Hero Academia and the Horrifying Nature of Quirks”
Watched This Month: April 2016

Favourites of 2015 – TV, Video Games and Music
Here we are, another year gone by. Getting older. Self-lacing shoes never happened. This year I learned that modern humans are in fact two-hundred-thousand years old. Anyway… End-of-year favourites rundown! This time around, I find myself in the odd position of actually being well informed enough to write about television and video games, so IContinueContinue reading “Favourites of 2015 – TV, Video Games and Music”

Yesterday, Netflix released the trailer for House of Cards’ third season… and it’s mind-blowing.
