Game of Thrones: fan theories that have gone the distance
Like it or not, the sense that GoT is building to a crescendo as it nears its final few seasons is growing pretty much by the episode these days. We’re now officially ahead of where the books ever took us up to, and so there’s something of a teetering inevitability to the idea that the […]
Devil Lord class: A review of Trinity Seven
I rather liked the look of Trinity Seven from the preview Geek Native posted back in 2015 but watching it left me uncertain. The premises is kinda cool. Arata Kasuga finds himself in a world of trouble after a magical apocalypse happens and it is probably his fault. In fact, the very world we have now […]
Doctor Who: BBC releases a regenerated The Power of the Daleks
Doctor Who fans know that the BBC destroyed early Doctor Who episodes. The sci-fi series is so old it comes from a time in which no one thought to preserve things. It sounds like madness today. The Power of the Daleks is one such collection of Doctor Who stories. Until now it was gone entirely; […]
Not pants: A review of Punch Line
I’ve not had great success with some of my recent anime watching. My last two reviews, one for Wish Upon the Pleiades and one for When Supernatural Battles Become Commonplace, didn’t score a recommendation at the end. They weren’t for me. I think they were better suited to teen girls. In Punch Line if the […]
What are the titans up to? Attack on Titan season 2 trailer
After a long wait we finally have a trailer for Attack on Titan season 2. It’s full of action and raises a host of questions. We only get to see a little of Eren Yeager but there’s plenty of Titans. In fact, it looks like there’s new special Titans insofar as they’re fighting others. There’s […]
Subaru, Subaru: A review of Wish Upon the Pleiades
This anime didn’t hold my attention. It’s pretty and shows promise but tells the story too slowly. Earlier fears and motivations from the characters might appeal to a young girl and so its safe to theorise that I’m firmly not the target market. Weirdly, the thing I liked most about the anime was the clever […]
Fans make a Futurama live action fan film
That’s right – an episode, nearly, of Futurama – entirely as a fan made live action. This is some impressive stuff. Made by Cinema Relics the film makes use of sound-a-likes and some clever tricks to bring favourite characters to life. The plot is entirely what you’d expect with the crew sent off on some […]
Dangerous or dull? A review of When Supernatural Battles Become Commonplace
When Supernatural Battles Become Commonplace is from director Masahiko Otsuka, best known for the charming and cheeky, Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt. Sadly, Supernatural Battles has none of that charisma. The character we experience the show through is Ando Jurai. He’s a Chuunibyou. That’s someone who believes they have special powers and is also known […]
Life’s not easy as a magic weapon: A review of Soul Eater Not
Soul Eater is my favourite reminder why you need to give an anime two or three episodes before you can safely decide whether you like it. Soul Eater starts off a bit whacky but soon gets deep, dark and interesting. Soul Eater Not is more of a spin-off than a sequel though most of the […]
