I watched the UK premiere of Calamity of a Zombie Girl in Edinburgh during the Scotland Loes Anime film festival. The whole audience was laughing at it, snorting in disbelief at times, but probably not in the way the director or Gonzo, the production company, wanted. I’m not sure what sort of story Calamity of […]

The dark world of Boogiepop Doesn’t Laugh revealed in the trailer
Boogiepop Doesn’t Laugh is a new TV anime adaptation of the light novel series by Kouhei Kadono. In particular, it’s based on the first book which means it is set before Boogiepop Phantom. I suspect this is more of a reboot, from an earlier time than a prequel for Boogiepop Phantom. Shingo Natsume will direct […]

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 […]
