Sad news arrives from Japan, as illustrator and character designer Mutsumi Inomata passes away at the age of 63. Inomata died on March 10, 2024, but the news of her passing was shared on March 17 in Japan by her sister on Inomata’s X (formerly Twitter) account. No details about the cause of her death have been revealed.
Mutsumi Inomata was born on December 23, 1960, in the Kanagawa Prefecture, and she wanted to work in the anime industry from early childhood, as she was a big fan of anime in general. After working for Maki Pro, she landed her first professional gig with Ashi Productions, working as an animator, key animation director, and character designer on several anime television series.
Over the course of her career, she has worked on numerous anime series and films, either as an animator or character designer. Some of her major works include 1983’s Plawres Sanshirou, 1985’s Leda: The Fantastic Adventure of Yohko,...

The ongoing Motörhead live recording series, The Löst Tapes, is being collected on a new eight-disc CD box set arriving February 23rd. In addition, a fifth volume in the series, Live at Donington Download Fest ’08, has been announced as part the box set and as a standalone vinyl release.
The Motörhead camp launched The Löst Tapes series in 2021, restoring previously unreleased Motörhead concert recordings sourced from cassette tapes discovered in the archives of the late Lemmy Kilmister.

Only the magic password would release them, and thankfully, Lem had scribbled it...

Mattel Films and Universal Pictures continue developing a live-action "Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots" movie, based on the Mattel tabletop game, starring Vin Diesel, to be produced by Samantha Vincent ("The Fast and the Furious"):
The original two-player action toy designed by Marvin Glass and Associates was first manufactured by the Marx toy company in 1964.
The game features two dueling robot boxers, 'Red Rocker' and 'Blue Bomber', mechanically manipulated by the players. Each player takes control of one of the two robots both of which are standing on a platform molded in bright yellow high-impact polystyrene plastic, representing a boxing ring.
By pushing plunger buttons on a pair of joysticks at the base of the platform, players make their robot punch at their opponent's robot. If a robot's head is hit with sufficient force at a suitable angle, the head will make a sound overextending away from the shoulders,...

Motörhead have dropped a previously unreleased live version of “The Hammer,” which will appear on the upcoming 40th anniversary reissue of their first live album, No Sleep ’Til Hammersmith, out June 25th.
This version of “The Hammer” — which Motörhead tear through in all their ragged, raw and pulverizing glory — comes from their March 30th, 1981 concert concert at Newcastle City hall in Newcastle, England. While a handful of tracks from that show made it on to the original No Sleep ’Til Hammersmith, the new reissue marks the first time the concert...

As Zack Snyder’s Justice League prepares to showcase the director’s true vision of the 2017 film long-sought by a vocal segment of the fandom, behind-the-scenes details have emerged about the director’s exit from the theatrical film, providing interesting context to its upcoming debut on HBO Max. It seems that the official—devastatingly heartbreaking—explanation for Snyder’s departure from the film actually overshadowed some behind-the-scenes strife.
Picture this for a Justice League plotline: Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) falls in love with a recently widowed Lois Lane (Amy Adams). While the notion of a Batman/Lois Lane romance is not entirely unheard of in the annals of DC Comics, it might seem awkward for a film franchise that was still taking its first steps. Nevertheless, this was a major angle that Snyder intended to inject into the film, as revealed in a lengthy Vanity Fair exposé. Of course, the romance,...

“People always ask why,” Michael Metelits admits at the start of this meticulously composed, emotionally haunting documentary about his mother, Marion Stokes.
“Why did she do it?”
The “it” is simple: over the course of 30 years, Stokes recorded TV news around the clock on multiple channels, in multiple rooms, until she amassed an archive of 70,000 VHS tapes. But the “why”? That’s not so easy. There will be as many opinions as there were people who observed her life — and now, with “Recorder: The Marion Stokes Project,” that includes us.

In fact, it was mutability itself that first inspired Stokes. As a fiercely private black woman in politics in the mid-20th century, she brought perspectives that were rarely shared by anyone she met, let alone the white men with whom she most often worked.

In 1979, Motörhead became the one band headbangers and punks could agree upon. The two records they put out that year, Overkill and Bomber, smacked of gritty, unpredictable, throbbing riffs and frontman Lemmy Kilmister sounded as if he had been huffing macadam and was coughing it up kernel by kernel. It was the best of metal, punk, and Capital-r Rock & Roll sledgehammered into half-hour wallops. The lyrics ranged from lubricious (“Damage Case”) to ludicrous (“Over the Top”), and yet Lemmy was also the king of metal maxims: “The only way to...

Lemmy Kilmister started writing the outlaw country song “The Mask” in 1979 — the same year he put out the screaming, hard-rock albums Overkill and Bomber with his band Motörhead — but didn’t finish it until three decades later. Now, a decade after that – and a couple of years after his death – the song is finally seeing the light of day.
Kilmister completed the song in 2009 with country singer Lynda Kay, who plays herself on the Amazon Prime series Goliath. The recording was thought to be lost but was recently rediscovered. It...

Welcome to this week’s Nxt: UK review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have Nxt, but in Europe. Is that specific enough?
Match #1: “Bomber” Dave Mastiff def. “Primate” Jay Melrose The following is courtesy of WWE.com:
Jay Melrose opened the latest episode of Nxt UK by unleashing an animalistic effort against the still-undefeated monster Dave Mastiff. When he attempted to lift the “Bomber” onto his shoulder, however, his poor judgment proved to be his undoing. And after completely flattening the “Primate,” Mastiff finished him off with the Cannonball into the corner.
My Take: 2 out of 5 – This was done before you could even begin to miss it.
Match #2: Walter def. Jack Starz The following is courtesy of WWE.com:
After making his presence known at Nxt UK TakeOver: Blackpool, the intense, towering, old-world throwback competitor that is Walter debuted against the unfortunate Jack Starz.

Match #1: Dakota Kai def. Nina Samuels – Nxt UK Women’s Championship Tournament Quarterfinal Match The following is courtesy of WWE.com:
The Nxt UK Women’s Championship Tournament kicked off in Birmingham, as Dakota Kai took on Nina Samuels. From the start, Samuels used her height and power to gain the advantage, as she worked to weaken Kai’s lower back in order to prevent Kai from getting on a roll with her signature kicks. Samuels’ assault included a series of submission maneuvers, a dropkick to Kai’s back and an excruciating tilt-a-whirl backbreaker.
