Spectacular scenery and sneaky sky pirates: A Last Exile review
There’s no doubt that Last Exile is stunning. The only doubt I have, as I start to form notes for this review, is how to describe it.

Splutter, Bang and Kickstart: Mai Mai Miracle
Glasgow based All the Anime had an interesting start to their Kickstarter project. They announced the launch – and then, well, it didn’t happen. There was a last minute delay at Kickstarter and I’d love to know what it was. Why? This is a project to bring an animation from Japan over to the UK […]
