Christopher Eccleston has played a number of roles but his most famous around here is the ninth Doctor in the relaunch of Doctor Who. He’s currently the shortest run for a canon Doctor, only lasting for one season. Since then he hasn’t attended a lot of fan conventions and was notably absent from the New Who crossover, replaced by John Hurt as a mid-incarnation called the War Doctor. In an upcoming book Eccleston reveals he was also battling anorexia at the time he was filling his one Doctor Who season. The article doesn’t say that this is why he hasn’t stayed tied to the show like his fellow Doctors, but given that news could you blame him if it was?
Ghost Stories was a Japanese anime about elementary school kids who keep running into the supernatural. It takes a lot from Japanese and occasionally Chinese folklore as these kids try to expel various ghosts and other spirits. It was a show for kids that also gained a slight adult following. But you wouldn’t know that from the English dub!
ADV’s dub is rather infamous in the English-speaking sector of the anime fandom because the dialog was replaced with raunchy jokes and dark humor that made it absolutely not a kids show. The anti-Republican jokes and the fundamentalist Christian probably didn’t help, but fans don’t care as they often find it hilarious. However, was it a good idea to make this dub? Could you do something like it again outside of an Abridged series? In the second video I’ve grabbed from the Cartoon Cypher team we look at the real history of this dub as they ask that very question. Note that some graphic language and imagery follows.
Note that I’m working from the reprint in Iron Man volume 3 #46, so any changes made I’m not aware of.

Missiles really are his solution to everything.
I have been asking for a Super Dinosaur cartoon almost since the first issue. Go back through my reviews and you’ll see I really love this comic. Well, Amazon Prime and Spinmasters are answering my begging and giving us a Super Dinosaur cartoon! Took you guys long enough! Now don’t screw it up! I want this to be as awesome as the comic! Kids deserve a proper Super Dinosaur adaptation in their lives, and I want it to! And airing somewhere I can see it because I don’t have Amazon Prime. Track down the comics and buy it for your kids! Also read it yourself because it’s great!
Remember, the book is in public domain. Download or read the ebook online legally and for free at Project Gutenberg, Google Books or the Internet Archive among other sites, or check out the audiobook from LibriVox. You can also use a print copy. In either case my copy may not match up with yours chapter-wise. Follow along with the very-long subtitle. For this chapter:
Recounting Three Merry Adventures That Befell Robin Hood and Certain Others, by Which He Gained Sore Bones and Three Good Merry Men All In One Day
Well, we already saw one new Merry Man last time, but only Little John ended up smacked around. We have two new men and one sore Robin to go but the day’s just getting started. Apparently we’re going to meet this book’s version of Will Scarlet. I haven’t seen every take on Robin Hood that’s ever been made. I’m not that big an enthusiast. However, I have seen Will Scarlet be everything from a Robin Hood fanboy barely out of ye old high school to the former leader of the band who isn’t happy about being deposed by Robin and basically becoming his Starscream. Since this one came out when Robin’s legend was still relatively new and only slightly toned downed for younger readers I wonder what his backstory will be in this one?
