Fan-Made Anime-Inspired Dr. Who ドクター・フー


Anime fan Paul "Otaking" Johnson, a professional translator in Sheffield, England, is streaming the above video onYouTube. The video is the culmination of over two years of work to create an unofficial anime-inspired adaptation of the BBC's Dr. Who science fiction television franchise. (Johnson bears no relation to Toshio Okada, the "OtaKing" who co-founded Gainax.)
When ANN previously contacted Johnson for comment, he cautioned that the short isn't an episode or full story, but rather a short "'what-if' trailer." He also acknowledged the influence of anime from the 19980s and 1990s such as Project A-KoBubblegum Crisis, and Macross on the art style.

Doctor Who Season 5

I just saw the last episode of Season 5. The episode was called 'The Big Bang', a part 2 episode with 'The Pandorica Opens' being part 1. The is truly a very good season for the new actor, Matt Smith playing the 11th Doctor but by far 'The Big Bang' being one of THE best episode tied with 'The Time of Angels' and 'Flesh and Stone'. A two part episode with a combo of Weeping Angels and River Song.

The final episode was great especially with the Darlek begging River Song for mercy as with the opening scene when the Pandorica opens up and the Doctor is not inside. But I could go on and write a book about this episode but over all the exception of 'Victory of the Teletubby Daleks' and Vincent and the Tissue Paper' I would personally give Season 5 an A-. And to thing most chat sites thought Omega was going to finaly show up in the final episode.

Doctor Who theme wins sci-fi vote


BBC NEWS http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8007779.stm
The distinctive music to Doctor Who has been named the best television sci-fi theme tune in an online vote. It finished ahead of Red Dwarf, The X Files and Buffy The Vampire Slayer, according to website Total Sci-Fi.

The music, which has remained with the programme throughout its history in various forms, was composed and arranged back in 1963. Total Sci-Fi editor Matt McAllister called it "instantly recognisable to fans just by its opening bars". He added that it manages to convey the "outlandish quality of the show".

The music was composed by Australian Ron Grainer and arranged by Delia Derbyshire at the BBC's Radiophonic Workshop. The distinctive sound was created by combining a tape loop of a struck piano string with the sound of test oscillators and filters among a whole host of techniques. It has gone through a number of changes since the 1960s, and the current version which has been used since Doctor Who was revived in 2005 was arranged by Murray Gold.

Star Trek came in at number five in the poll, followed by Thunderbirds, The Twilight Zone, Battlestar Galactica, Quantum Leap and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Ms Derbyshire, who along with Mr Grainer was initially refused a credit for the music, died in 2001. The BBC had wanted to keep the members of their Radiophonic Workshop team anonymous.
