A review of 009 Re: Cyborg
009 Re: Cyborg is an anime from Ghost in the Shell’s Kenji Kamiyama and Production I.G. I watched it here in Edinburgh, on a big cinema screen, as it’s the debut title from new Scottish based anime distributor Anime Limited. In short; it’s a cracking film, thoroughly engaging and blisteringly contemporary. Then it stops and […]
Grayson: Earth One pilot
I’ve seen a few of these style of videos; made on a budget, talking to fandom, and with actors you’re yet to see on the TV. They’re generally a mixed bunch. Grayson: Earth One, however, is a cut above the rest. Hisonni Johnson’s re-imagined origin story of Nightwing/Richard Grayson is tight, makes perfect use of […]
Arpeggio of Blue Steel trailer
Global warming has resulted in much of Earth’s land being lost to the waters. It’s the early 21st century when a “Fleet of Fog” apepars on the oceans, armed with super weapons, and defeats all rival navies. Mankind can no longer even try by sea. Nearly two decades later, Gunzo Chihaya and friends get their […]

Matt Smith will leave Doctor Who after the Christmas special. He said; “Doctor Who has been the most brilliant experience for me as an actor and a bloke, and that largely is down to the cast, crew and fans of the show. “I’m incredibly grateful to all the cast and crew who work tirelessly every […]
Damsel in Distress: Part 2 – Tropes vs Women in video games
The Damsel in Distress series by Feminist Frequency is picking up plenty of attention. Rightly so; it’s an intelligent commentary on the role of women in video games. Feminist Frequency comes at their observations from a feminist point of view and that can only be a good thing. I find it impossible to accept that […]
Nights at the Round Table trailer
RedShirt Film’s latest web series looks like it might interest gamers. I pressed play on this by chance. An idle second when I had nothing better to do – click. It had my attention straight away and it was the joke on the t-shirt that did it. Yes, seen it many times before, I’m a […]
The Memories of Phantasm: Fan made game sees second anime
The Memories of Phantasm is the second anime to come out of the dojin game Touhou Project. Touhou Project is a shooter developed by ZUN. That’s all we know about her or him. A dojin game is a fan made project and ZUN is responsible for all the graphics, programming and music, well, pretty much. […]
Short film: From the Future with Love
Imagine a Robocop-like future where the police have become privatised. You’ll have well equipped officers prowling the streets looking to protect their insurance paying clients. It might be sold a bit like car insurance and breakdown cover; with ads telling you how quickly the police can get to you. In director K-Michel Parandi’s vision you’ll […]
