March 23, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

We’ll be looking at episodes of The Asterisk War in forthcoming Irregular Reconnaissance issues.

Kill your favourite character: A review of Akame Ga Kill

March 6, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

The anime kicks off as we meet Tatsumi travelling on the road. He swiftly steps into the role of hero by taking on a fearsome and dangerous creature – an Earth dragon – and in doing so demonstrates he’s quite some swordsman. It’s interesting to note that that earth dragon isn’t called a monster. None […]

Beautiful chaos: A review of Evangelion: 3.33 You Can (Not) Redo

February 14, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I like Evangelion. I like Misato, Rei, Asuka and Risuko. Truth be told; I’ve never been that much of a fan of Shinji Ikari because he whines a lot. I feel as I’ve made some allies by the time this, the third movie, rolls around. Few of the survivors really like Shinj either. This is […]
