Behind The Scenes of Ultraman: Towards The Future

Ultraman

I know it’s the wrong Ultraman. That’s what I have in the media library.

It’s two former Saturday Night Showcase members in one! Matt Burkett (whom you may recall as Apollo Z Hack) is a big fan of Ultraman: Towards The Future (I like the show, too). So when he had the chance to talk with someone who designed some of the monsters for the show, of course he’s going to brag about it on his Monstrosities web series.

Before you hit the con this year….

Jealous, boys?

Jealous, boys?

….you need to see this video first.

Yes, it’s convention season again. Over the weekend we had Wondercon, although holding a convention on Easter weekend seems like a bad move. And more conventions are coming. Here in Connecticut I’m trying to get ready for ConnectiCon…by catching up on last year’s panels as well as two other cons I attended last year. Stupid computer issues. For some of you this year may be the first time you attend a  convention. There are some things you should be aware of before you do.

Michael Arroyo, otherwise known as The Navigator, is the host of Anime For Dummies, a show that, while including a review, is more of an introduction to “good anime, bad anime, little known anime, and anime so popular you just want to see it die”. He also covers local conventions in his area like I do with my area, and put together a video for new and regular convention goers with tips for surviving conventions. With his permission I offer that video to you, with a few extra notes of my own.

Jake & Leon #154: Fizzbin Learns About Easter

I wanted to make a Zordon reference but I couldn't work it in.

I wanted to make a Zordon reference but I couldn’t work it in.

I wonder how many people really understand the concept of “he died for your sins” or why the resurrection is so important? I know the whole spiritual body thing does over people’s heads because “zombie Jesus” jokes exist on the internet. That makes me sad.

The Clutter Reports is just a posting of last year’s Easter comic with a note that it’s Easter. Over at Reviewers Unknown I did post the last Furman Files I did about the Creation Matrix versus the Matrix of Leadership. I’m planning another Furman Files this week along with an explanation as to why it took so long.

Best Scene of This Week’s Reviews

Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye #15

Transformers MTMTE #15 Best Scene

Tomorrow is April First, April Fools Day. I’ll try to have the regular comic review done and maybe a funny video. Otherwise I’m ignoring the internet until Tuesday. Yes, even Twitter so I may miss a few cool postings over there. Sorry, it has to be done for the sake of my sanity. I hate April Fools Day. Comes with being a former target, you know.
