The holidays are sneaking closer and the combination of extra hours at work and endless shopping has made anime watching more of a challenge. Bah! It’ll take more than a bit of time pressure to stop this geek from getting his dose of animated action. In this Irregular Reconnaissance column I offer a collection of […]
12 incredible Doctor Who posters
These 12 Doctor Who posters are the work of Cake and Comics. This is a blend of art and geek. We like both here at Geek Native and are chuffed to see they have a store.
Demon bloodlines: A review of Blue Exorcist part 1
The action kicks off pretty quickly in Blue Exorcist. Here’s how it flies for quick-to-anger but basically well-intended Rin Okumura. First, he finds out that a little girl being terrorised by “bad fairies” isn’t making it up; they’re real and he can see them. He next finds out that his quirky father isn’t just a […]
Doctor Who: Take On Me
I think it’s now old enough to become cool again – so you might a) remember A-Ha’s “Take On Me” and b) be okay with enjoying it. It’s a famous video with some skilful animation. What we have here is a video from Richard Swarbrick that was picked up by The Flixx, tweaked and the […]
Space Dandy trailer
Well. This is colourful. This is Shinichiro Watanabe’s latest project. He’s the talent behind Cowboy Bebop and, if you ask me, he takes what Bebop hinted at and goes to town with it in Space Dandy. Even the name, allowing for translation, is bold. There’s a host of talent involved too; Akira’s creator Katsuhiro Otomo […]
Haunted by the past: A review of Penguindrum part 2
I began my review of Penguindrum part 1 by saying that I suspected labelling the series as a cute, fluffy, romance with a touch of angst anime was a mistake. Oh boy. Was it a mistake. In my defence, in the same review I said the plot, drama and tension was escalating quickly. By the […]
Don’t miss the deleted scene from The Day of the Doctor
The BBC have released a deleted scene from The Day of the Doctor. We find the War Doctor stuck with 10 and 11 as they debate what’s cool and what’s shoe. Some people think the War Doctor reflects “Classic Who” in that he doesn’t put up with many of the antics that the new Doctors […]
Doctor Who: First trailer for Christmas Special – Trenzalore
Have you asked yourself What is Trenzalore? You’re not alone and many more will soon be asking the the same. Check out the first trailer for the 2013 Doctor Who Christmas trailer. Trenazlore is where the Doctor dies. Myth? Perhaps – but in the Name of the Doctor we do seem to see the Doctor’s […]
Ghost in the Shell: Arise – web episode
I’ve been lucky enough to see some Ghost in the Shell: Arise and review GitS: Arise – Pain. This, though, is new. Ghost Whispers is a web episode to promote Kokaku-JPRS.jp. Logicoma fan? Good news. There’s three of them in this web episode and that’s a threefold increase from the one in Pain.
David Tennant in the weirdest The Day of the Doctor video yet
It’s not normal to see videos like this up on the official BBC YouTube channel. Strange, weird and quirky as it is – it’s hard not to watch. We might suspect that this was filmed for a laugh and then published because a) why not and b) British humour. I approve. Do you? Is now […]
