Original chaos: Mega Mecha Soldier of Karakuri Castle review

December 24, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Mega Mecha Soldier of Karakuri Castle is the 7th One Piece movie and I watched it as part of the 2014 One Piece: Movie Collection 3. My view of One Piece is that the movies tend to be better than the episodes. It’s a high action anime in which every character is bigger than […]

November 29, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

I really enjoyed Patema Inverted. It stirs my vertigo but is an incredible anime. We follow a brave young woman as she explores her underground home and discovers a whole new world. This is a world with blue skies, green grass and the strangest thing of all — the grass is her sky and the […]

Really? The Devil is a Part-Timer review

November 14, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 6 Comments

The Devil is a Part-Timer is an action-comedy. I enjoyed the action. The same can’t be said for the comedy. The background is straightforward and seems quite good.

Starchild confirms new K series
