The day after the Autumn Statement – that’s the day the Government messes with the money you have and will need to spend – many of the newspapers are up in arms about this year’s Christmas TV. I guess Xmas telly is even more important than national finances. As the right-wing Telegraph points out more […]

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 […]

Banned for a decade: A review of Ghostwatch
If there’s one medium of horror I can’t stand it’s the Found Footage movie. Too often it’s a lazy excuse for bad shakeycam disguising poor effects whilst no-name “actors” enjoy their fifteen minutes. Also I’ve been spoiled because the first time I saw anything of that ilk was when I watched Ghostwatch on Halloween 1992. […]
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 […]
New series of Wastelander Panda
Way back in 2012 Geek Native covered the post-apocalyptic series Wastlander Panda. Things have progressed from then. The video has become a YouTube series and there’s now a sequel. The new series is called Wastelander Panda: Exile and follows Isaac as he battles to reclaim his family’s place in the Tribe of Legions. You might […]
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 […]
