Mini Review – Twilight Q
Twilight Q (1987) This was an interesting double OVA from 1987, featuring two unconnected stories, each 30 minutes or so. Both held my interest for different reasons and…


Guessing Game (23)
Another guessing game! Time to test your knowledge against these 6 images :D Once again, I’ve tried to go for a mix of old and new stuff. (For…


Mini Review – Spriggan (2022)
The Spriggan series differs from the film in plenty of ways – expanding storylines and cast, adding fun new settings, adding humour and including a bit more depth…


Mini Review – Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou
Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou (1998) The main thing that sticks in my memory with Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou are the lovely colours and contemplative pacing. On the surface, it’s about…

Okay, the results are in! It was a close race for most of the films I had in mind, but there is a clear winner: The pressure is…


They Were Eleven (Jūichinin Iru!)

Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham
Alternate 1920s Batman hooked me the second I read the description – along with the Lovecraftian aspects of dread and menace. Here’s a short note on that from…


Vote for My 300th Review
I need your vote :D As of today, I’m about twenty or so reviews away from writing my 300th! While I have a fair few reviews waiting in…


Mini Review – Darkstalker’s Revenge
Darkstalkers (1997) Adaptations of fighting games are by definition light on story. Of course, they’re built that way. It’s a way to get from fight A to fight…


Bayonetta: Bloody Fate
Bayonetta: Bloody Fate (2013) This film adaptation precedes Gonzo’s bizarre decision to focus on NFTs by a few years – and despite that choice dampening my esteem for…

Mini Review – Natsuyuki Rendezvous
Natsuyuki Rendezvous (2012) As I’m sure I’ve said many, many times – supernatural stories are among my favourites, and this love-triangle romance has the tweak (and hook) of…


Parasite Dolls (Parasaito Dōruzu)
I like the Bubblegum Crisis setting and so I was keen to see what this early 2000s OVA would be like – and how it might compare to…


Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft
Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft (2024) I know comparisons with Indy are inevitable and so I’ll start with one – this is a Tomb Raider story…


Mini Review – Terminator Zero
Terminator Zero (2024) I will definitely watch another season if it gets made – who knows, considering the absolute clowns in charge of Netflix. Anyway, Terminator Zero feels…


Mini Review – Trigun Stampede
My hopes were sky-high for this alternate take on Trigun – especially with Yashiro Nightow on board, and I’m relieved to say that I definitely enjoyed the mix…

Mini Review – Suzume (Suzume no Tojimari)
Suzume (2022) Part of me worried that I wouldn’t buy a footstool as a second main character – but I quickly got used to it – and ultimately,…


Mini Review – Sabikui Bisco
Sabikui Bisco (2022) Sabikui Bisco is one reason I love anime: giant mushrooms, a panda doctor, hippo-style armed forces + giant crabs, slugs and bunny-helmet wearing enforcers –…


Mini Review – Hell’s Paradise
Hell’s Paradise (2023) Amongst the lineup from 2023, Hell’s Paradise had some key visuals that absolutely screamed out for me to pay attention. Very happy that I did!…

Canaan
Girls-with-guns – only with some fictionalised Synesthesia thrown into the mix, along with a nasty virus too. No doubt like a lot of people, I’ve had my fill…

Megalobox

Kaiju No. 8 (Kaijuu 8-gou)
Is it different to a lot of supernatural/sci-fi/action shounen? No. Is it better than a dozen other recent shounen anime? Yes. For me, at least. Maybe it’s because…

Halfway through 2024 – Some Numbers
In general, blogging has changed since I started out about 15 years ago – of course, it has, right? That’s a long time. It’s also changed in the…


Gibiate
Gibiate was fascinating – incredibly uneven stuff. Or maybe what was most interesting, was that I watched on after the opening episode. That is rare when I’m not…


Gundress – Collaboration (Part 1)
Collaboration time! For this post, Scott from Mechanical Anime and I are chatting about an OVA/film by the name of Gundress. It’s a Studio Junio production from 1999…
