Stick with it: A review of Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere
I found Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere incredibly confusing and almost frustrating to begin with. It looked like an incredibly cosmopolitan collection of students in training and apparently running the city. By “cosmopolitan” I mean we had mechs, witches, naked but not anatomically complete incubus, sports stars with eyes in their hats, buxom school […]
Samurai Kings – Sengoku Basara: The Last Party
Sengoku Basara began life as a Capcom video game franchise and has characters named after real people from the Sengoku era of Japan. The series spawned two anime seasons in which the various samurai warlords and their armies faced off a larger army led by a more powerful warlord. Sengoku Basara: The Last Party is […]
Ghost in the Shell: Arise “Ghost Pain” review
“Ghost Pain” is the first episode of the re-imagined Ghost in the Shell OVA. It may be one of only four in the series as each episode is intended to receive a limited cinema release in Japan a month before the Blu-ray release. Ghost in the Shell features a new voice cast. We also have […]
Dealing with death through doppelgangers: Hal movie review
Hal is a movie about a robot who becomes human as part of an outlandish attempt at “robot therapy”. In this instance we’re dealing with someone who’s not been able to cope with the death of a loved one and has withdrawn from the world. The robot “Q01” doesn’t just become human – they become […]
Steins;Gate: Fuka Ryouiki no Déjà vu movie review
Steins;Gate began life as a visual novel in Japan. It’s one of those games where the ‘player’ gets to read through like a book, with pictures of the characters, and occasionally has a choice to make that effects what happens next. It’s useful to know that those “make a choice now” moments are represented in […]
A review of Aura: Koga Maryuin’s Last War
Aura, by Seiji Kishi, is an anime that takes a look at school culture in Japan. In particular it looks at the “cool” kids at the top of the popularity pile in contrast to the less popular geeks.
A review of of Evangelion 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo
I enjoyed the series Neon Genesis Evangelion. I enjoyed it despite the “hero” Shinji being something of a milksop. I enjoyed it despite the weird ending. The ending was weird, I’m told, because they ran out of budget. Solution – lots of surreal stuff happens. Over. You’re left asking “What?” As sometimes happens with series […]
Sakasama no Patema: Patema Inverted review
This is the first time that I’ve enjoyed an anime while being barely able to watch it. Patema Inverted is about the brave and curious girl who goes exploring in her underground world of tunnels and ruins and discovers a horrible truth. The film is sci-fi to the extent that it is set after a […]
Little Witches Yoyo & Nene review
Intended for children, despite being directed by Takayuki Hirao responsible for Tokyo Fish Attack, Little Witches will entertain anime loving adults. I enjoyed it even if there was a tendency to throw in rainbows and hearts. Nene and Yoyo are are pair of curse breaking sisters. They’re Witches for Hire in a fantasy world. Yoyo, […]
