Geek Native readers rather liked this infographic showing the latest Godzilla is the largest incarnation of the kaiju ever.

Google Translate finds these words for us; Godzilla monster planet”, worldwide simultaneous […]

Multiple Misaka: A Certain Scientific Railgun S review
I really enjoyed the first season of A Certain Scientific Railgun and subsequently was looking forward to the sequel. Somehow, though, I started to wonder whether A Certain Scientific Railgun S was more a reboot than a sequel. It’s not, but it does weave into the story arc of A Certain Magical Index. That’s the […]
Wizards vs Nuns: A review of A Certain Magical Index II
The subtitle for my review of A Certain Magical Index was easy to come up with: Wizards vs Science. It’s just as easy for the sequel. In this story Kamijo and Index find themselves up against all sort of foes but especially churches and their penguin-esq army of nuns. Yes, nuns. If this doesn’t make […]
Magical anime: A review of “Fireworks, Should We See it from the Side or Bottom?”
This is a review of the 2016 anime and not the live action film by Shunji Iwai which has the same name. What a name, huh? The question of the fireworks is a big one that runs though this magical anime so let’s get straight too it. Are firework explosions flat like a disc or […]
Whimsically winning: A review of The Night is Short, Walk on Girl
Masaaki Yuasa’s animation The Night is Short, Walk on Girl is not a visually beautiful anime in the traditional sense. This adaptation of the hugely popular Yoru wa Mijikashi Aruke yo Otome by Tomihiko Morimi is sometimes told with some very simple graphics. Nevertheless, once you get over your initial shock at the style and […]
Human emotions. Inhuman threats. A review of Beyond the Boundary the Movie
I reviewed the Beyond the Boundary series back in January 2016 and called it a dangerous urban fantasy. It’s 18 months later and I remember it fondly – more fondly than I come across in that early review. On reflection I think that’s because the characters were so strong. As it happens I also reflected […]
Devil Lord class: A review of Trinity Seven
I rather liked the look of Trinity Seven from the preview Geek Native posted back in 2015 but watching it left me uncertain. The premises is kinda cool. Arata Kasuga finds himself in a world of trouble after a magical apocalypse happens and it is probably his fault. In fact, the very world we have now […]
Not pants: A review of Punch Line
I’ve not had great success with some of my recent anime watching. My last two reviews, one for Wish Upon the Pleiades and one for When Supernatural Battles Become Commonplace, didn’t score a recommendation at the end. They weren’t for me. I think they were better suited to teen girls. In Punch Line if the […]
