When Geek Native wrote about Sword Art Online back in February there was some debate about the premise. The game – a “VRMMORPG” if you want – is one where you die in real life if you die in the game. How does that work? The trailer still doesn’t explain so we’re left to speculate. […]
Disney actually produce a moe anime
American animation megagiant Disney have shocked Japan. Not only have they produced an anime feature; they’ve produced a moe anime feature and done it well.

AKB48 in spaaace: AKB0048 trailer
AKB0048 is an anime which takes a real life, popular, and pop all-girl band from Japan into an anime.

The strange chitter of Nyarlaothtop – Naiyoru! Nyaruko-san trailer
It’s always a challenge working out which anime trailers to share on Geek Native. I assume that most readers, like this blogger, don’t speak Japanese. It’s also tempting to post this video without explanation. I think the explanation is what makes the video surreal and funny though! In the anime Naiyoru! Nyaruko-san the thing that […]

Anime top trumps
Anime Trumps is a game from NGames. On the 14th it opens its doors to welcome beta testers – and this phase will run until the 28th of March. After that all the data will be wiped. Actually, the blog title is wrong. It’s not “top trumps”. I think that’s a trademark but the idea […]

Dailymotion posted a video from SXSW of Funimation‘s Mass Effect 3. Okay, there’s also about a quarter of the video given over to the Dragon Age anime too – but that’s no hardship. We find out that James Vega will be the main character. We’ll find out all the stuff he’s been up to. Funimation […]
