Ghost in the Shell: Arise – web episode

November 20, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’ve been lucky enough to see some Ghost in the Shell: Arise and review GitS: Arise – Pain. This, though, is new. Ghost Whispers is a web episode to promote Kokaku-JPRS.jp. Logicoma fan? Good news. There’s three of them in this web episode and that’s a threefold increase from the one in Pain.

Are penguins cute or creepy? A review of Penguindrum

November 17, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I made the mistake of dismissing the whole of Penguindrum based on the first episode. I should know better. After all, one of the many reasons to love intelligent anime is its ability to dramatically and suddenly change direction. I initially dismissed Penguindrum as something made to appeal to a fluffy, pink and teenage audience. […]

Black Butler live action trailer

November 13, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m not sure what I made of the anime Black Butler series. I started to watch it but then it was overtaken by others. Even though the butler, Sebastian Michaelis, is one Hell of a butler and he helps his lord out of all sorts of situations I suspect I’m not entirely the target audience. […]
