Dragonball Z: Light Of Hope (Fanmade Web Series)

/
If you know anything about me at Otakus and Geeks, then you know I love Dragonball Z. One thing that always made me cringe is the attempt of DBZ live action. Let's be honest its like beating The Undertaker streak at Wrestlemania, it seems it can't be done. However an independent group of filmmakers called Robot Underdog is attempting to do just that. The group has launched an Indiegogo campaign for the web series which you can check here http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/dragon-ball-z-light-of-hope-pilot. DBZ Light Of Hope will follow the storyline of the History Of Trunks. If you want to get a taste of what Robot Underdog has in store check out the trailer below. So far I like what I see.

Versus Valerie (Web Series)

/
Hey Otakus and Geeks there is a cool web series that I watched today that you might want to check out. It's called "Versus Valerie." Here is a brief synopsis from the official site "Versus Valerie follows Valerie Lapomme, YouTube's Sexy Nerd Girl, as she navigates her chaotic life, sliding between reality and her video-game and genre-bending imagination. Season 1 of VsV consists of 12 episodes, each taking a referential cue from a specific element of nerd-dom - Doctor Who, Star Trek, Star Wars, Batman, Harry Potter, and many more."

 This is a show that I will be keeping an eye on every two weeks. It has a lot of charm, a lot of geeky and mature humor. The characters are really interesting from the first scene of Valerie leaving a one night stand to meet her friend to go to the local comic book shop. Immediately I was wrapped up into this world. The first episode has a Sherlock Holmes feel to it and it's something I'm curious to see what each episode will be like. You can check out the first episode below and visit the site Versus Valerie. Episode 1
Episode 2 Episode 3 Episode 4 Episode 5 Episode 6 Episode 7 Episode 8 Episode 9 Episode 10 Episode 11

H Plus: The Digital Series Screening Review

/
-->
H Plus looks like an A+ 
Web series.


 





 Hey Otakus and Geeks fans, Sean (True Comic Fan) here, on 7/16 I was given the opportunity to see a screening of the upcoming web series called H Plus: The Digital Series. Before I get into my review, I want to give you the Synopsis of the series:
H+: The Digital Series takes viewers on a journey into an apocalyptic future where technology has begun to spiral out of control.... a future where 33% of the world’s population has retired its cell phones and laptops in favor of a stunning new device – an implanted computer system called H+. This tiny tool allows the user's own mind and nervous system to be connected to the Internet 24 hours a day.

But something else is coming... something dark and vicious... and within seconds, billions of people will be dead... opening the door to radical changes in the political and social landscape of the planet -- prompting survivors to make sense of what went wrong.
A futuristic online series, where the human race is hardwired to the Internet, is coming this summer.  From producer Bryan Singer ("The Usual Suspects” / "X-Men: First Class"), the highly anticipated live-action web series “H+ The Digital Series” will make its debut August 8 on YouTube.  Directed by Stewart Hendler (“Sorority Row”), and starring an acclaimed international cast that includes Alexis Denisof (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”), Amir Arison (“Law & Order: SVU) and David Clayton Rogers (“Jane By Design”), “H+ The Digital Series” takes viewers on an episodic, apocalyptic journey where technology has gone horrifically wrong.
Review
I watched two playlists containing twenty webisodes and they were AMAZING! I was so immersed in the story that when it was over, I hadn’t realized I just watched twenty webisodes (thanks to info from the discussion panel). Each episode gives you the story from the perspective of different characters trying to survive and get answers to what cause the incident.
H+ reminds me of one of my favorite anime series Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex. Combining mystery, technology, and drama to create a story that will have viewers wondering what will happen next and how it will all end. This is a series I recommend everyone should check out and something we will be discussing at the water cooler.
Web Features
H+ will have some cool web feature that will give the viewer a unique experience. When you subscribe to H+ the digital series on youtube, you can choose to watch the webisodes and storyline of your favorite character. You will also be able to edit webisodes to create your own viewing experience.
