Check out my review of that Sega MegaDrive Sailor Moon beat 'em up game over at retro gaming super-site  1MoreCastle !

Surprised this exists? I was too. This independent short film based on the popular manga and anime series Sailor Moon was made by DGS Studios and stars Avery Danielle in the title role. I won't review it since it's a fan film but check it out. You can find more stuff on their Youtube channel and Tumblr .

From punk supergroup Osaka Popstar (John Cafiero, Jerry Only, Marky Ramone, Dez Cadena, Ivan Julian) comes a couple of anime intro songs done in their own, unique way. You can find them all on their 2006 album Osaka Popstar And The American Legends Of Punk . Of course, Youtube being Youtube, it was pretty easy to find people who made fan videos from those songs so here's Sailor Moon , first off: Now, how about some Astro Boy ? Unfortunately the video's modelled on the CG movie rather than the original series but hey, it still works really well: Alas, Shaolin Monkeys may not be a real anime series (even though it really should be) so the song didn't get its own video but here it is regardless: Besides, the Shaolin Monkeys have their own website , and in my book that means they're real. You can also find a cute little flash animation for one of the band's songs called Wicked World : More cool stuff on the band's website: osakapopst
