Live Action Anime
We as fans of science fiction are all guilty of watching and enjoying anime, and nobody should feel ashamed by that fact. In fact because anime has become so popular around the world many movie studios are starting to transform them to appear on the big screen.
But is this a good idea?
Our response is a yes and no. As fans of giant robots and anime involving said robots, we start to foam at the mouth just thinking about seeing are favorite titans on the big screen. But as visually spectacular as they can be the no comes into play when you stop and think about what kind of story you'll end up with.
Anime series for the most part run approximately 26 episodes, unless its a Gundam series which most run about 45-52 episodes, or Dragonball and Naruto both well over two hundred episodes and several animated movies. Our fear is that these stories would just not have enough substance that we are accustomed too.
Already released are the Gundam movie G-Savior (2000) and Death Note 1 and 2 (2008).
In the next few years however we will see several live action anime movies; the first being Dragonball, while another, Cowboy Bebop, has already begun production.
If either of these movies happen to be a success, you can guarantee more live action anime will be on the way to the big screen, and if that happens well we have a wish list.
Unfortunately with a downed economy a lot of movies may not see the figures the studios expect, so there is always a chance that live action anime movies may get scratched altogether; only time will tell. - GJ

Reviewed: The Middleman
Corny, cheesy, and low budget, are just some of the words we'd use to describe the new ABC Family show "THE MIDDLEMAN." Yet for some reason we here at the post find ourselves hoping that this show catches on and remains on the air for some time to come.
The story for the Middleman is one right out of the pages of a comic book; in fact a comic produced by Viper. To keep it simple, the Middleman (Matt Keeslar) is out to protect the world from different exotics (aliens, robots, monsters, etc.), while Wendy Watson (Natalie Morales) is just out to find her place in the world.
To really get a feel for this show, you have to watch it. We've only seen two episodes, one involving a mob killing gorilla and another involving a Chinese Warrior who is an Earth elemental, and we hear the next episode involves a gang of masked wrestlers. This doesn't sound or make your average show, but the stories have been attention grabbing and quite unique in their own rights.
If your looking for a sci-fi, fantasy, comedy, drama, and action show, then the Middleman is right up your alley. Next episode airs on Monday June 30 at 10pm.

GUNDAM
The world of everything Gundam began over in Japan in 1979, but didn't make its debut in North America until 1998 with the run of Gundam Wing on Cartoon Network's Toonami. Since then countless other series in the Gundam universe have aired, including the original series Mobile Suit Gundam.
If you're going to call yourself a true science fiction fan, then this epic saga is a can't miss. Some of the series may seem a little childish at first but you must look into the underlying themes and concepts being portrayed.
Gundams are futuristic war machines. Each series portrays a different war, in a different century, with different Gundams and pilots. The only constant is the involvement of the Earth.
For more information on everything Gundam please visit the official website at Gundam Official. There you can find plot summaries of the different series, character profiles, gundam schematics, and answers to your frequently asked questions.

Adultswim, STOP Complaining About The Anime
STOP, Stop right now. We are all tired of seeing the graphics that bad mouth the anime on your schedule. Maybe you want to try something different then, well here’s a thought, play some good anime.
Eureka 7, Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, and Blue Gender to name a few were good anime to have been played. Maybe because they had either some sort of space or robot theme, these seemed to be the most enjoyable of your past schedule. Shows like Death Note (which is awesome), Trinity Blood, Samurai Champloo, and Fooly Cooly were good for things of change, but remember not everyone is into the vampires/demons (Blood+, InuYasha, Bleach) and series being rerun like six thousand times (Cowboy Bebop).
In my opinion maybe you should consider getting rid of all non-anime shows from your schedule. The only non-anime you’ve ever played that I liked is either going or has gone by the wayside anyways (Futurama, Sealab 2021, Mission Hill). Everything else is either poorly animated, or just absolutely disgusting, and in most cases both. Granted an episode of Family Guy once in a while is entertaining to watch but I could have lived happily if it was never picked up again.
So how about trying to find more space or giant robot themed anime to play, usually these are also a little bit more adult themed as well. I remember a couple years back Toonami did a Giant Robot week and they played three episode of a show called Martian Successor Nadesico, that was good, why not try that. There are also several Gundam series that have yet to make it to American airwaves so why not pick one of them?
You know what; why not try uncut, unedited Sailor Moon? Anything has to be better than Assy McGee, Saul Of The Mole Men, 12 oz. Mouse, The Boondocks, and Frisky Dingo.
So unless you make a better attempt at what’s on your schedule, quite displaying graphics about how bad your anime ratings are, because it’s no one’s fault but your own.

Transfomers in IMAX
The must see movie of the year is back, now bigger and better! Transformers was the best movie of the summer, maybe even the entire year, and now it has been digitally remastered to make those giant robots look even badder than before.
This release is also slated to include a couple of extra bonus minutes, but it's said not to be that big of a deal. All I know is that if I get to see an additional punch thrown, I'm a very happy person.
This is a limited release, so hurry and don't let this opportunity pass.
