I’ve reviewed the two parts of the Blue Exorcist TV show on Geek Native and rather enjoyed the show. Those encounters were based on the subbed version of the anime. I jumped at the chance to watch Blue Exorcist: The Movie at my local indie cinema but made a surprise discovery when I got there. […]

Watch the Constantine trailer (UK)
NBC have released the first official trailer for their new Constantine show. Blogs have picked up the YouTube version which, oddly, is blocked in the UK. In a show of digital marketing smarts the very same trailer is available for all, even outside of America, to watch on Facebook. Post by Constantine. What do […]
Impressive Akira Project trailer
The trailer is awesome but there is no movie. The Akira Project is a crowd-sourced, non-profit attempt to crate a trailer for a live action version of Akira. A live action version of the film is a nut that Hollywood is yet to crack but in July 2012 there was an Indiegogo campaign to draw […]

Two minute Gotham trailer
Smallville was the TV series prequel to Superman. Gotham is the TV series prequel to Batman. I think the similarities pretty much stop there. This trailer for Gotham looks good. We follow a young Jim Gordon as a detective, watch him promise Bruce Wayne that he’ll catch the killer of his parents. There’s even a […]

Turning the anime market upside down – Patema Inverted rocks Kickstarter
We’re lucky here in the UK that there are companies determined to import the very best anime. All the Anime, based down the road in Glasgow, is one such. At last year’s Scotland Loves Anime festival I watched Patema Inverted and enjoyed it – despite it messing, at level 10, with my vertigo. Now All […]
Robots vs aliens: A review of Eureka Seven AO
I was in at the deep end for Eureka Seven AO as it’s the sequel to Eureka Seven, which I haven’t seen. The good news is that I followed Eureka Seven AO without any bother. If there’s clever overlaps, foreshadowing or flashbacks to the original then they’re sailing right on by without disrupting my AO […]
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 […]
