Friendly psychos: Nobunagun review
There’s a few anime with “Nobunaga” in the title. This is a review of “Nobunagun” and what they’ve done there is added a “gun” to the end of the word. To be honest, Nobunagun had me from the very first episode. They very quickly and successfully had the lead character Shio Ogura portrayed as a […]

Short film: The OMEn Chronicles
The whole thing is shot in 4K, on almost no budget and over 2 days. How long did that take in total? Months thanks to the special effects. It’s set in the Potterverse in which the Officers of OMEn have to deal with a mysterious and rather unhelpful person as an evil force turns up […]
