Keyframe 102 – 2017 (The Bad Side)

Archaeon 12/01/2018

2017 is over, and what better way to mark the beginning of a new year in animation than a two-part look back at the previous year. With that in mind, we decided to do something a little bit therapeutic (for us), and get all of the bad stuff out of […]

Keyframe 101 – Waifu or Otter?

Archaeon 23/12/2017

So Disney have bought the lion’s share of the Fox media empire, which means Star Wars and Marvel fans have something to be happy about over the Christmas holidays. Meanwhile, we discuss the impact this will have on the Disney Princess register. Hey! Pointless things can be important too! We’re […]

4-Panel 118 – Not By The Hair On My CG Lip

Archaeon 26/11/2017

Andrew and Mick trade back their new model Rob for the older, more comfortable version this week. The news is cause for some head-scratching as DC’s decide to do a JLA/Doom Patrol crossover with the rather odd title of Milk Wars. Meanwhile, Jude Law may take on the role of […]

Archaeon 17/11/2017

It’s time for more comic-book and manga fun, and big things seem to be happening for DC this week with the announcement that the road may be ending for the DCEU and the arrival of Brian Michael Bendis – who finally leaves arch-rivals Marvel after seventeen years. We also find […]

Keyframe 94 – Farmer Goku’s Fight Club

Archaeon 30/10/2017

This week we forego any preamble and dive straight in to our featured anime. With Girls und Panzer: Der Film, Mark proves that his addiction to anime beginning with the letter G looks set to continue. Meanwhile, Tucky gets suuuuuuuuuperrrr! with Dragon Ball Super season 1 Part 1 (Episodes 1 […]

Keyframe 93 – The Censored Brow

Archaeon 29/10/2017

We kick things off this week with our featured cartoon and anime (Monster Musume: Everyday Life with Monster Girls, Netflix’s Bigmouth and Ushio and Tora), and those somehow lead us on to seasonal holidays and mockumentaries. After that little aside we get down to business with our views on the […]

4 Panel 113 – Judge Death Does Bollywood

Archaeon 25/10/2017

It’s time for your weekly dose of comics and manga with 4-Panel! Hidden in the mist of tangents and nonsense are the trailer for The New Mutants, Cable’s existence as a movie character (but nobody is committed to saying much else), Marvel’s plan for their very own brilliantly-monikered convention, and […]

Keyframe 88 – Popeye Vs. Hulk Hogan

Archaeon 26/09/2017

From the artisan breads of Yakitate!! Japan to the spicy dishes of Addicted to Curry, this week we sate our hunger with some mouthwatering anime (and a few manga), about food. Our featured cartoons and anime are Popeye The Sailor Man collection 1 and Food Wars! (Shokugeki no Souma) season […]
