It’s sunny again in Philadelphia!
Tonight sees the premiere episode in Season 5 of “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia”, the US sitcom that’s gone from cult status to be regarded as one of the more imaginative and surreal comedies on American TV.

Anime Iron Man trailer
Marvel has signed a deal to work with Madhouse to provide anime versions of various superheroes. Given the movie buzz around Iron Man and Iron Man anime makes perfect sense.

Anime Wolverine trailer
Back in August 2008 Marvel entered into a partnership with Madhouse to produce a series of anime-style adaptations of some of their heroes. We’d already seen Gonzo provide an example of what was possible with Witchblade.
It’s expected that the anime Wolverine will begin to air in 2010 and run on Animax.

Futurama with new voices?
The good news is that Futurama is making its way back to TV. Is there bad news? According to Forces of Geek (obsession is not a choice) a casting notice has gone out to replace DiMaggio, LaMarche, Billy West and Katy Sagal.
If true this would mean new voices for Fry, Leela, Bender, the Professor, Zoidberg as well as the Mom, Zapp Brannigan and Kif.
