Cybernetic ghosts: A review of Ghost in the Shell – The New Movie

May 17, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

“The New Movie” might not be a very original name for the Ghost in the Shell’s title but it the technique kinda works – promising more of the same. I think that approach works for Ghost in the Shell as The Force Awakens works for Star Wars. We’ve had some experimentation with prequels, Ghost in […]

Blade Dance of the Elementalers begins with fan service – except we don’t know the characters yet so it’s more ‘service’ and less ‘fan’. That sets the tone for the series and suits the outro song about knee high socks. It’s easy to poke fun at Blade Dance of the Elementalers. So many of the […]

Surreal: Humanity Has Declined

April 3, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I wasn’t long into Humanity Has Declined before I realised this might be the anime equivalent is coming back from the dentist after an antithetic and where the world is a strange place.
