Some might think that the last few Irregular Reconnaissance have been suspiciously regular. It’s a trap! We’re simply catching up with a host of anime mini-reviews. What’s Irregular Reconnaissance anyway? It’s a Geek Native column that offers a quick review catch-up up on a half-dozen or so anime titles. It’s a chance to find out […]
Irregular Reconnaissance: Anime #17
Time of a round-up of mini anime reviews! It’s Irregular Reconnaissance. The goal here is to give you a quick catchup on the various anime series that are still holding my attention – or an alert on what’s gone horribly wrong and is about to get dumped. Why? So many anime. So little time. Sometimes […]
Dark fantasy with destiny – A review of WITCH: Fated Souls
Witch: Fated Souls first popped onto my radar when Angry Hamster took it to Kickstarter. They wanted €4,500 and raised nearly €16,000 instead. A successful Kickstarter does not mean the resulting RPG will be any good. Let’s download a copy of Witch and take a look. From the outset it is clear this is an […]
Irregular Reconnaissance: Anime #16
This issue of Irregular Reconnaissance looks at a half-dozen anime titles. It’s a collection of mini-reviews; a quick update from this reviewer as to whether a series is still holding my attention or is about to be dropped in favour of something else. You might disagree with the assessments? Share your own thoughts on these […]
Beautiful chaos: A review of Evangelion: 3.33 You Can (Not) Redo
I like Evangelion. I like Misato, Rei, Asuka and Risuko. Truth be told; I’ve never been that much of a fan of Shinji Ikari because he whines a lot. I feel as I’ve made some allies by the time this, the third movie, rolls around. Few of the survivors really like Shinj either. This is […]
Irregular Reconnaissance: Anime #15
Welcome back to Irregular Recoannaissance which returns after a gap of a year. How’s that for irregular? This anime column is a collection of mini-reviews. In particular it looks at anime episodes, rather than movies or whole collections, to give thoughts and recommendations on whether the title is going strong, getting better or loosing interest. […]
All or Nothing: A review of Ecko Endgame
Ecko Endgame is the final of the three Ecko novels from Danie Ware. Geek Native’s previously looked at the first book Ecko Rising and the second Ecko Burning and now, in the third, we discover whether our cyberpunk assassin is mad, trapped in the Matrix, fallen through a dimensional rift or caught in some hypotonic […]
An unholy epic for your eyes: A review of Elric of Melnibone
Geek Native’s looked at the new releases of Elric of Melnibone and liked them. The Michael Moorcock Library Vol.1 – Elric of Melnibone is different insofar as it brings together the original 1980 comic adaptation into a hardback. The story is the same. At least, that’s the theory. In reality, this Elric of Melnibone feels […]
Creepily good: A review of Mira Nikki – Future Diary
We’ve taken a dip into the Future Diary before on Geek Native. Years before a UK release, international reviewer L. Meridian offered us a glimpse inside. We were warned of impending horror despite appearances. This review looks at Collection 1, that’s episodes 1 to 13, and takes us into that horror. Our “hero” is an […]
Who’s the bad guy now? A review of Magi: The Kingdom of Magic, part 2
It keeps on getting better. The first half of season 2 was better than the first and the second part is better still. Aladdin’s gone off to secretly explore the Kingdom of Magnostadt which is ruled by the wizards and seems to be a wonderful utopia compared to the poverty and brewing wars outside. There’s […]
