It seems pointless to deny that any reviewer who has made it to season 2 of Horizon on the Middle of Nowhere and who is still going has considered the anime’s combination of boobs and ninja. In fact; that’s the concise review. Boobs and ninja. In fairness to Horizon on the Middle of Nowhere it […]

Anime icons in London: K-On! The Movie review
I hadn’t seen any of K-On! I had heard of it and it’s reputation as being a good, safe and solid anime but perhaps that’s why it was always on my “maybe one day” rather than my “must watch while I can” list. K-On! The Movie gave me a chance to fix that. In particular, […]
Second Space Dandy trailer offers English dub
The prestige of the team putting together Space Dandy is without question. There’s Shinichiro Watanabe and Shingo Natsume as Directors, Dai Sato, Keiko Nobumoto, and Kimiko Ueno as scriptwriters and Yoshiyuki Ito for character design. In the States Space Dandy will show on Toonami. That leaves the question as to whether it’ll make it’s way […]
Black Lagoon: Roberta’s Blood Trail review
Roberta’s Blood Trail is the third series of Black Lagoon and presented as an OVA. As the title suggests it leans heavily on the mild mannered maid – Roberta. Roberta may be a secondary character in the series but she’s hugely popular. We know of her background and of her abilities; she’s one of the […]
Noragami trailer
Noragami is the story of a minor god who hopes one day to win followers and a shrine, and a bullied girl. The anime is being made by Bones, directed by Kotaro Tamura, Deko Akao on script and Toshihiro Kawamoto on character design. The series will follow the fantasy manga that launched in 2011 and […]
Irregular Reconnaissance: Anime #3
The holidays are sneaking closer and the combination of extra hours at work and endless shopping has made anime watching more of a challenge. Bah! It’ll take more than a bit of time pressure to stop this geek from getting his dose of animated action. In this Irregular Reconnaissance column I offer a collection of […]
Demon bloodlines: A review of Blue Exorcist part 1
The action kicks off pretty quickly in Blue Exorcist. Here’s how it flies for quick-to-anger but basically well-intended Rin Okumura. First, he finds out that a little girl being terrorised by “bad fairies” isn’t making it up; they’re real and he can see them. He next finds out that his quirky father isn’t just a […]
Space Dandy trailer
Well. This is colourful. This is Shinichiro Watanabe’s latest project. He’s the talent behind Cowboy Bebop and, if you ask me, he takes what Bebop hinted at and goes to town with it in Space Dandy. Even the name, allowing for translation, is bold. There’s a host of talent involved too; Akira’s creator Katsuhiro Otomo […]
Haunted by the past: A review of Penguindrum part 2
I began my review of Penguindrum part 1 by saying that I suspected labelling the series as a cute, fluffy, romance with a touch of angst anime was a mistake. Oh boy. Was it a mistake. In my defence, in the same review I said the plot, drama and tension was escalating quickly. By the […]
Ghost in the Shell: Arise – web episode
I’ve been lucky enough to see some Ghost in the Shell: Arise and review GitS: Arise – Pain. This, though, is new. Ghost Whispers is a web episode to promote Kokaku-JPRS.jp. Logicoma fan? Good news. There’s three of them in this web episode and that’s a threefold increase from the one in Pain.
