En todo caso más vale tarde que nunca, aquí algunos de los más interesantes artículos que fueron populares en las últimas semanas.
Anime roundup 9/6/2013: Always Look On the Bright Side of Life

Rumour-tastic
The other news this week is Benedict Cumberbatch has reportedly signed on for the next Star Wars film.

In this week’s viewing: Ginka Shirokane meets an evil mirror of herself, Jō Hibiki meets an evil mirror of himself, and one of the Shimogamo clan is his own worst enemy.
The Geek Test: What’s Your Score?
I believe people of all types should be able to join in geek events and have fun whether they’re sufficiently geek credentialed or not, but I wondered how one might one go about quantitatively evaluating “geekiness”
Review: The Incredible Burt Wonderstone
I’m going to cheat a little, and review a movie that’s not really a genre movie. Well, as far as I’m concerned it is, because the movie’s about magic—and many fans are very much interested in magic—and also because the underlying theme of the movie is very much “sense of wonder,”
Review – Anime by Colin Odell & Michelle Le Blanc
Anime is not intended as a definitive guide, but as wide ranging introduction to the field. Even so, seasoned anime watchers will find the book valuable for the opinions expressed
A Science Fiction Primer
Media SF – in all of its varieties – is firmly and uncontestably rooted in the literature (whether it acknowledges its sources or not). The problem for the audience of media fare is that the mainstream definition of “sci fi” is overly broad, encompassing bad examples along with the good and offering no inherent means for distinguishing one from the other .
Ben Affleck, Really?
Not everyone is delighted about the news that Ben Affleck is the new Batman for the Man of Steel sequel
SyFy. Not a Mispelling, Just an Awful Channel.
There are a lot of reasons for a Science Fiction fan to dislike the channel. One would be that several nights of the week, they play professional wrestling in prime time. Even the worst space operas are more realistic.
Poor Execution Leads Elysium to its Death
One of my first annoyances was that the entire film seemed like Mass Effect fan fiction. From Elysium and the robots, to the soldier’s exoskeletons and even the font-type used on the space station, it seemed like a Bioware rip-off.

Bad Robots
Robots are supposed to follow three laws that will maintain their loyalty to humanity. But as we all know, even a bunch of nuts and bolts can go bad. So let’s take a look at some of the bad robots we’ve grown to love.
Anime roundup 8/23/2013: Your Princess Is In Another Reality
In this week’s viewing: Space Brothers gets drop-kicked, Day Break Illusion causes a lecture on honorifics, and more!
Grouchy Bestselling Authors Hamstring E-Book Market. In Other News, Dog Bites Man.
Bestselling mystery / thriller authors Keigo Higashino and Jiro Asada, with five other popular genre writers and mangaka, have been embroiled for the last three years in a complicated series of lawsuits against “jisui” scanning companies. These jisui companies operate custom digitalization services.
It’s All My Fault – An Apology
Another summer of cinematic wilderness is drawing to a close and I owe you all a big apology. Why? Because I am responsible for the terrible state of mainstream American cinema today.
True Blood Season 6 Finale. Wow. Just wow.
I felt a little bit miffed at first that there were only 10 episodes in this season, especially as it has completely gone off on its own course now. (Watch out for full frontal nudity.)
Pacific Rim Novelization by Alex Irvine
The novelization of Pacific Rim by Alex Irvine is more than just a book based on a movie. This is a book that stands alone by allowing fans to appreciate the literary value not always expressed through film.
Review: Oblivion
I won’t say it’s the best SF film I’ve seen lately—it’s certainly one of the best-looking, however; but it’s deserving of a second look if you’ve been hoping for a moderately good science fiction film to watch this summer.
Anime roundup 8/16/2013: Take Heart
In this week’s viewing: Hunter x Hunter lays on the foreshadowing, Space Brothers, of all shows, does something mindbogglingly, cringingly offensive, and more!
Discovering Science Friction: Snark Week 2013
Megalodon: The Monster Shark Lives could easily have been made into a Syfy Channel movie (if they’d used lower resolution cameras, thrown in a former 1980s TV star and some cornball music).

The Dark Knight Returns?
The Batman casting rumours are going crazy this week. The usual names are being thrown into the mix, Ryan Gosling (apparently The Sun reader’s favourite), Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bradley Cooper, even Gerard Butler. There has also […]
Anime roundup 8/9/2013: The Zero’s Journey
Hunter x Hunter #90 – Nodding to old sf tropes once again, the new Chimera Ant king is after both braaaaaaaains and our women. And he demonstrates how mustache-twirlingly evil he is by killing two […]
Who Killed My Little Pony?
I used to play with My Little Ponies. I hated dolls, kept my hair short, wouldn’t wear dresses, but even I was susceptible to the unbearable cuteness of My Little Pony. For a while I […]

Doctor! Doctor Who? Why it’s Peter Capaldi
At last, the new Doctor Who has been revealed. On Sunday night the BBC announced the new casting live across the world in a 30 minute show, full on interviews and chatter. Matt Smith ruled […]
The New Doctor and the Spin Behind It
The BBC is a weird organisation. The night after the first episode of the first series of Doctor Who aired, their news site broke the news that Christopher Ecclestone was leaving at the end of […]
The Name of the Doctor is… Peter
So the excellent actor Peter Capaldi is to play the 12th incarnation of the Doctor. Perhaps with the 50th anniversary of the programme approaching Steven Moffat just couldn’t resist casting another middle-aged Scotsman as his […]
