June 17, 2018 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

We’ve learnt to manage our own expectations when it comes to live-action adaptations of anime and manga. It’s not easy. We’ve had the Attack on Titan and Ghost in the Shell live action attempts from Japan and America in semi-recent memory and neither became a break out hit.…

They look like us! A review of the live action Parasyte movie

April 29, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I rather liked the Parasyte anime, especially the start of the series when we were discovering all about the alien invasion and everything was going so badly wrong.

Twilight Zone meets Farscape: A review of Metal Hurlant Resurgence

October 16, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Metal Hurlant began life way back in France in 1974. It’s older than me. I believe the literal translation is Howling Metal but when geeks I know in the UK talk about the series they often call it Heavy Metal.…
