Fuse Teppo Musume no Torimonocho seems to be called either Fuse: Memoirs of the Hunter Girl or Fuse: A Gun Girl’s Detective Story in English. I think Hunter Girl fits better. Fuse by Masayuki Miyaji is a blend of fantasy and Japan history. There’s plenty of action here; samurai warriors and werewolves, with rooftop chases […]

Gusukobudori no Denki: The Life of Guskou Budori review
Surreal and Buddhist, I’m told. The Life of Guskou Budori is based on Kenji Miyazawa’s novel. A significant change in the anime is that the characters are anthropomorphic cats with the exception of spirit like entities from dream sequences which look like grotesque people. Cats are cute and all that but The Life of Guskou […]

Forget pumpkins for Jack-o’-lanterns; go stumpkins!
Do you know we’re not quite sure how the original Will-o’-the-Wisp or Jack of the Lantern lights? Gourds were the earlist planet domesticated by humans but perhaps Jack-o’-lanterns were first carved from turnips as the Halloween practise probably started in the Highlands of Scotland.

Koto no ha no niwa: Garden of Words review
Garden of Words is a beautiful short, only 47 minutes, anime from Makoto Shinkai. It is a film about rain and feet. The animation is simply stunning. The first few minutes of footage, from the opening credits through to the introduction of the characters is remarkable. The scene of a branch dipping into a lake […]
