As competition in the growing streaming service marketplace is typically dependent on content and licensing, each service is now doing what it can to gain leverage. The recent launch of Disney+ has undoubtedly made long time industry leader Netflix stand up and take notice....

Sequel to the hit title Alto’s Adventure, Alto’s Odyssey is now available in the App Store ($4.99) for iPhone, iPad and Apple TV … a day earlier than planned. The game went up for preorder earlier this month with a Feb 22nd date, but it’s definitely downloadable right now.

The story of two biker gang youngsters embroiled in a conspiracy that encompasses impending nuclear war, psychic children and government corruption caught the imaginations of budding filmmakers and anime enthusiasts across the globe upon its release in 1988 and talk of a live-action Hollywood version of Akira has been ongoing for the better part of two decades....

The success they have can largely be attributed to their pilot model, which finds the studio making a small handful of episodes and then allowing their audience to vote on which they want to see.

While it’s not a perfect method, it has led to some wild pilots and some intriguing pickups for the coming season, including The Tick and Jean-Claude Van Johnson....
