Splutter, Bang and Kickstart: Mai Mai Miracle

February 7, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Glasgow based All the Anime had an interesting start to their Kickstarter project. They announced the launch – and then, well, it didn’t happen. There was a last minute delay at Kickstarter and I’d love to know what it was. Why? This is a project to bring an animation from Japan over to the UK […]

Subaru surprises audiences with Attack on Titan ad

January 26, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

This TV ad from Subaru is a collaboration with the manga Attack on Titan. There’s a live action movie coming and so these Titans give us a glimpse at how scary they could be. It reminds me of the section the anime had on the Survey Corp horses and how important it was they could […]

Madhouse anime teams the Punisher with Black Widow

January 23, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Marvel’s Avengers are getting the anime treatment – no longer a rare thing for American successes. The series is created by Madhouse and gets off to a cracker by pairing two low level but sneaky bastard fighters together. Black Widow and Punisher, who both look anime-impressive, team up to take on Leviathan who have been […]

Dead Agressor: Exodus trailer

January 4, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The trailer for Fafner in the Azure: Dead Agressor: Exodus contains some fantastic animation. The harbour scene looks incredibly well drawn. The video also seems to focus on stern or gloomy looking people. This is actually a sci-fi anime, a mecha series, that had been planned for 2013 but now has a Q3 2014 release […]

Don’t piss off Satan: A review of Blue Exorcist part 2

December 31, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

In Blue Exorcist part 1 we meet Rin. It’s a tough ride for Rin as he discovers he’s adopted, his foster father is an exorcist and his “natural father” is Satan himself. Rin even has a brother, but he had been too weak at birth to inherit the demonic taint and the deadly blue flames. […]

Bodacious Space Pirates: Abyss of Hyperspace trailer

December 28, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I was surprised at how much I liked Bodacious Space Pirates the series. It gets a mention in Irregular Reconnaissance Anime #1 where I noted it’s a shame it all comes to an end after 26 episodes. Hurrah for the movie. Bodacious Space Pirates: Abyss of Hyperspace is due out February 2014 and Tatsuo Sato […]
