Original chaos: Mega Mecha Soldier of Karakuri Castle review
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 […]

Competition: Win a copy of the amazing Patema Inverted
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
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. Satan is the king of his own island in a different realm and with his four generals effectively terrorising the neighbouring human islands. That’s until an incredibly […]
Starchild confirms new K series
I really enjoyed K but in my I feared there wouldn’t be a sequel. The story leaves us with some big issues still to be sorted through and a greater understanding of a clever mythos that begs to be explored. There is a movie, which I’m yet to catch, called K: Missing Kings, which sheds […]
Storytelling and war: The Princess and the Pilot review
The Princess and the Pilot is a feature length anime being distributed by Manga Entertainment in the UK. The story is simple but gracefully told. In an alternative world the Levamme Empire and the Amatsukami Impreium are at war. The technology levels are akin to World War II but this is a world with huge […]
Sneakily gripping: A review of Robotics; Notes parts 1 and 2
This is a review of both parts of Robotics;Notes. I was able to watch both parts in quick succession because of a hurt foot and compulsory residence on the sofa. It makes a big difference to the series. Part 1 (episodes 1 to 11) are great but give the impression of a carefully paced, feel […]
