Double down for the better: A review of Lupin the 3rd vs. Detective Conan
These are two big franchise titles from the world of anime – Detective Conan and the master thief Lupin the 3rd. Even if you’re not an anime fan you may recognise the names. Conan isn’t the barbarian but named, in the series, after Sherlock Holmes. He’s not even a kid. He’s a young adult shrunk […]
Dem feels: A review of Giovanni’s Island
I was able to watch Mizuho Nishikubo’s Giovanni’s Island in a cinema during an anime film festival. I could hear people in the row behind me sniffing and sobbing quietly towards the end. We call that effect ‘dem feels’ in anime fandom. There’s plenty of anime fans who’ll appreciate a good ‘dem feels’ story. The […]
Real enough for you? A review of Appleseed Alpha
I think the Appleseed series is underrated. It’s always been great fun and always pushed ahead to explore with what animation can do. Appleseed Alpha is no exception. At times, for the scenery, I actually wondered whether it was a photo still that had been animated over the top of. The animation quality in Appleseed […]
Sexy gun witches: A review of Bayonetta – Bloody Fate
Bayonetta was a popular action computer game. It got great reviews, sold well over a million and had intense combat. It had a “witch time” system in which the frantic melee slowed down and your sexy witch could take down angels and fight back against the impressive bosses. The movie, Bayonetta: Bloody Fate, follows a […]

Demonically intense: A review of Berserk 3 – The Advent
It was two years ago that I watched the first two new Berserk movies. The Egg of the King creates an interesting cast and world. Then as the second movie, The Battle for Doldrey, ends we get a kick in the teeth and things look to be over for our characters. The third movie, The […]
Black Butler live action coming to UK; latest trailer
I watched a chunk of the Black Butler anime before giving up. I wasn’t the target demographic. The live action is very different. It’s set in the future. There’s a different sort of the anime-esq gender role tensions. Sebastian is still one hell of a butler. He’s looking after a young noble who has had […]
Tomorrowland’s trailer will intrigue but it’s not Star Wars
Disney have a themepark called Tomorrowland and they’re working on a movie too. Once rumoured to be a Star Wars film we can now see that’s not true but there is sci-fi here. George Clooney and Britt Robertson star. They can access a place called Tomorrowland and while they visit their actions have a direct […]
