Moving into the Holiday Spirit and the giving season, I want to make it clear I will forever be thankful to the TV Gods for the gift of television. Without TV I would not have had access to many of the things that have, ultimately, made me who I am. First and foremost: I would […]
Recent events in the real world have made me rethink the anime I love and how characters would react to the events if our worlds ever collided. To put it more bluntly, I wonder which villains would act for themselves and which would be on the wrong side of history by supporting someone like Trump. […]
The holiday season this year may not share in the celebration with large groups of people, but Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is set to continue on even without those large iconic crowds. Pokémon has been a regular part of the festivities for 2o years and they have something special scheduled for this Thursday's event. The […]
Often times I get called out for being too judgmental when it comes to anime and dubbing. It is true. I am. However, there is a different feeling to me when you watch it in its main language and subbed rather than translated. Somehow, more often than not part of the feeling behind the whole […]
This year we all have the future of our country in our hands and an incredible responsibility to vote and make it count. That said, it is also feeling like we are under some sort of doomsday clock countdown and an ever-increasing sense of uneasiness and anxiety. It is also imperative that once we make […]
Within the past few years, there has been a resurgence of anime and animation making our inner child or teen geeks very happy. There is something so nostalgic about them that whenever I see them on screen I get weepy… Even more so now when the world calls for comfort and old friends that made […]
In order to escape the bleak world we currently live in, we often turn to different venues. Animation being my favorite, I feel anything is possible when I surround myself with characters that are kick-ass and inspire others to embrace their inner-hero. That said, how nice would it be if we had companions in our […]
Welcome back to another serving of BCTV Sunday Slices, where I take a look at the past week in BCTV's coverage to offer a thought or two on the topic. Once again, the views expressed here are my own and don't necessarily reflect on the rest of the fine folks at Bleeding Cool. Which is […]
After DC FanDome and mulling over the new concept behind Superman & Lois as working parents struggling to balance their professional and personal lives. I started thinking of parenting in pop culture and how it is often represented in terms of our heroes. Spoiler? It is not always a good thing. It must be tough […]

Welcome back to another edition of BCTV's Sunday Slices, where I take a look at the past week in Bleeding Cool's television/streaming coverage to offer my thoughts on what went down, what's going down, and what's about to take off in the not-too-distant future. Once again, my thoughts/opinions are my own and do not necessarily […]

Pin collecting has been a little hobby for the past couple of years. I mean, it is a little portable piece of art that now most artists I love also offer. However, being in lockdown seems to have made my collection grow and now I am finding myself having to debate which pins have to […]
With the vibe of DC FanDome still in the air, I decided to take the concept of The CW's mega Arrowverse crossover event "Crisis on Infinite Earths" and apply it to the anime world. In a world where all anime coexist in a multiverse, the Anti-Monitor has been running rampant destroying all the worlds we […]
To say that this has been a week of change, loss, and upheaval at WarnerMedia would be a dramatic understatement. With its big product push DC FanDome only ten days away, DC Comics, DC Universe, and other areas of the multimedia company saw firings and restructurings as the company looked to reduce its debt load […]

In 50 years of SDCC, we all globally get to experience a first together: SDCC at Home. With it, Crunchyroll kicks-off with its first VIP, Virtual Industry Panel with Adam Sheehan (Director of Events), and Lauren Stevens (Event Manager). It honestly felt like I was in a panel room with the loud music and the […]
Welcome back to BCTV Sunday Slices, our little slice of opinionated heaven where I look back at Bleeding Cool's television (BCTV) coverage from the past week to offer up some wisdom on the conditions of the television landscape over the past several days. This week, things had that slow-n-steady vibe as Skybound Xpo happened this […]
