Whoops. I think I missed the part in the article I got this from where it says that the new apps come out at 11:00 PM Eastern Time: http://toucharcade.com/2014/11/26/new-iphone-games-coming-tonight-39/ Now it should be available according to this article. EDIT: It also says that it's going to be re...

I was about to get hype, but it seems like it's only available for download in the New Zealand iTunes shop; I'll have to make a NZ iTunes account somehow. (I mostly became attentive after seeing Tenma's in this.)

You'll need an e-reader of some sort to see the free issue. I'm about to try downloading one of their supported readers, the LINE Manga phone app. I also suspect that this free album is also just the first one they ever published. ...So far it's looking like I can't do it with a Canadian iTunes acco...

I remember wanting to play banjo when I was like 12, and there was a character who played it in Tiny Toons Summer Vacation, but then again, I was 12.

https://www.movieposter.com/posters/archive/main/115/MPW-57511 This movie is such a gong show, but I can't help but adore it. The soundtrack is fantastic, the animation is pretty great for a small Canadian studio, and its main character is a shockingly well-portrayed female character, considering t...

I first saw the 1980 series on STV - now owned by Global - in its Canada-exclusive English dub in my earliest consciousness. I think it ran up until 1997, when I would've only been four. My parents worked at the TV station at the time and knew the theme song in great detail. (Unfortunately, when AB ...

For some reason, one of the most sad scenes I can recall offhand is the scene in Death Balloons, when Astro scares away all the kids on a basketball court. This is the point in the story where everyone in town associates Astro with the exploding balloons. Astro sees everybody leave, the sad version ...

I liked how Imagi intended for Cora, and most of the surface-dwelling humans, to be Chinese. A friend saw the Mandarin dub of the movie, and the kids say, "We are from China" instead of, "We're from the surface." As well, Cora had been intended by the director to be completely platonic with Astro, a...
