Well I might be able to help you out with Naruto, I'll check the loft at the weekend ;)

I'm glad they redesigned Sonic - looking forward to seeing Tails and Knuckles in the sequel. I'm honestly amazed it took them so long to go live-action with it.

I think Sonic the Hedgehog was the last big cinema draw of 2020. You know, back when we had cinemas. What a note to end on! I did enjoy Jim Carrey, even if he was just playing his usual schtick in a new outfit, it was fun to watch.

Well, she's landed! Review coming soon.

Lately I've been painting custom Transformer (or third party) robot parts and upgrading the figures. Here's an Earthrise Arcee with new backpack and painted ankles/feet: I also painted her back around the midriff and butt, since they were white and unpainted. Very annoying given that Elita 1...

I picked up Miles Morales for PS5, which was enjoyable, and now I'm making my way through the earlier Spider-Man remastered game. I think Morales was a tighter gaming experience, and I love New York in winter, but there's certainly a lot more meat to the original.

Really pleased with this interview, Ollie was very accommodating and gave some fantastic answers to our questions: https://www.uk-anime.net/Articles/Interview_with_Oliver_Barder.html

I've been watching Kingdom on Netflix, since the show is pretty good and I work with a Korean firm, so it helps my language skills. I'll try the two you've mentioned as well, thanks for that. Netflix has a good selection of Asian cinema, I'm halfway through Hot Gimmick now.

Started watching Great Pretender on the back of Tom's review. It really is quite excellent :)

So, after a lot of faffing about, I finally redesigned the site. We're 25 years old next year, so I wanted something a bit more contemporary (it was fun going through the Wayback machine to see how it's changed over the years too!) If anybody has feedback, comments, hate mail... just post it...

Okay, coming your way this week - I'll send them out and you can send me the postage once I know what it is :) Nagaroro I stupidly ordered twice. What a muppet.

Clea - and you can read the review here: https://www.uk-anime.net/games/Clea_-_Nintendo_Switch.html

A lot of MVM's major franchises (including Fate and the Monogatari series) are Sony-owned properties, so I can absolutely see the room for competition dwindling if those return to the Sony mothership. Looking into my crystal ball, I'd say MVM possibly has a finite lifespan anyway, it'll all...

https://www.uk-anime.net/newsitem/Sony_in_final_talks_to_acquire_Crunchyroll So it looks like Sony will be the one to rule them all. Dunno how to feel about this one really - on the one hand I'll likely only need one anime-service subscription (and Funimation is installed on my HDTV, unlike CR...
