Leiji Matsumoto is the brains behind such historic anime successes as Space Battleship Yamato, Captain Harlock and Galaxy Express 999. He’s also the chap who worked with Daft Punk in 2003 for the full-length film Interstella 5555. I much prefered Intersella 5555 to Space Battleship Yamato and the others. Why? It’s the anime style; what […]
Gaiking trailer and classic clip
I was born in 1976. Gaiking‘s original run was in 1976. This is an old anime mecha franchise that’s about to get a new lease of life via visual effects designer Matthew Gratzner. Gratzner has worked on films like The Dark Knight and Iron Man but is now making the hop to director in order […]
Joost owners Adconion promote Hunt to MD and drop anime from roster
The two moves are unlikely to be related but Adconion Media the network darling that bought struggling video on demand site Joost have been busy with changes. The former Head of Video from Adconion’s Australian operations Matthew Hunt has been promoted to Managing Director. He’ll replace Mike James who left last year. The video connection […]
Holy Cow! Gundam in Excel
Ok, ok… so this video might have been out for ages but I’ve only just seen it. I’m already jealous of people with artistic skill. I’m jealous of people who can get Excel to do what they want, quickly and without a data loosing crash. You can imagine how jealous I am of the artistic […]
Kirsten Dunst in cosplay music video (a little ecchi?)
One of the very first blog posts on Geek Native was a photograph of ex-Spider-man star Kirsten Dunst in cosplay. We new McG was involved. Now we’ve got the whole video – and when I say “we” I mean you and I. This is a project from McG and Japanese “pop artist” Takashi Murakami. What […]
King of Fighters: Vanessa model
Sideshow have a rather stunning collectible figure of the ever-popular Vanessa. Borrowing from the site’s description of the piece I can say; Standing approximately 12″ high, this tough female fighter poses in a provocative, removable outfit. Oh my!
Space Battleship Yamato gets itself a poster
The live action of the oh-so-old anime Space Battleship Yamato has a shiny new poster to tease us with. I’m in mixed minds about the anime. It shows its age! The movie looks pretty impressive though. I wonder if there is any chance of it ever getting a UK release. Ever. If you’ve not seen […]
Akira live action pushes on with the Hughes Brothers
There have been loads of reports, attempts, whispers and moves on the Akira live action front over the year. Will we ever see it? We now know that Hawk Ostby and Mark Fergus; some of the talent behind Iron Man and Children of Men, are writing/have written a new script. Vulture, New York’s Magazine is […]
Bleach strategy game – The 3rd Phantom trailer
Wow. Take Bleach (which is cool) and blend it with the usually awesome strategy RPG game genre and what do you get? You get Bleach: The 3rd Phantom. This Nintendo DS game looks like it has everything going for it. It’s the first ever Bleach strategy game. I actually think Bleach should make a great […]
Even better posters for The Last Airbender
We’ve got two more posters for the upcoming M. Night Shyamalan The Last Airbender film. I was surprisingly pleased with Book 1: Water of the Nickelodeon animation. It was funny. I didn’t hate The Lady in the Water and its main fault was poking fun at movie critics – guess what happened next. Are you […]
