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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
A dangerous urban fantasy: A review of Beyond the Boundary
The opening scene in Beyond The Boundary will catch your attention. The series will hold it. In short; this anime should be on your watch list. A society of spirit warriors secretly battles against spirits on Earth that only they can see. One of the first of these powerful youmu the team goes up against […]
Weirdly charming: World Conquest Zvezda Plot
The start of this anime reveals that a single teenager, leader of the Zvezda, manages to conquer the modern world. That doesn’t really set the scene at all, it just means that despite what happens next; they did it. After that brief intro we’re then introduced to a bunch of unlikely misfits that seem to […]
An introduction to Josei: Review of Bakumatsu Rock
I liked the premise of the series. Take a Japan where back in the 19th century, the dark rulers of the Tokugawa Shogunate ruled and banned all performers from singing any son that wasn’t a “Heaven’s Song”. These Heaven’s Songs work by brainwashing, calming and subjugating the masses. Skip forward and enter Sakamoto Ryouma and […]
Competition: Ghost in the Shell Arise – Borders parts 3 and 4
Fan of the iconic anime Ghost in the Shell? Arise is the prequel series and a chance to see how that incredible team came together. The first half of the Arise series is already out but for parts 3 and 4 you’ll have to wait for the end of the month. There are two ways […]
