Review: Sankarea Complete Collection (Blu-Ray)
At a cursory glance, Sankarea sounds like an excuse for an anime series to do the whole zombie thing. I’ll admit I don’t think I quite get the zombie trope movement – I found Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies inane in a kind of internet humour thing, and like the […]
Review: Patlabor OVA Series 1 (Blu-Ray)
There’s something beautiful about the OVAs produced in the 1980s and early 1990s. Buoyed by a bubble economy, the OVA scene produced some truly stunning pieces of direct-to-video animation that we don’t see any more. Headgear’s production of the original OVA for Patlabor falls in this camp, and my god it embodies how the anime […]
Review:Tokyo Ghoul Season 1 Uncut (Bluray)
Tokyo Ghoul Season One is a 12 episode TV anime aired between July and September 2014 based on the manga of the same name. What this means is that the anime adaptation does not follow the story line of its manga counterpart, which I only found out after I finished the series. This series is a survival battle between ghouls […]
Review: Space Dandy Part 1 (Blu-Ray)
Space Dandy is about a dandy guy in space. So begins the show’s delightfully off-hand approach to its entire production. It’s so frivolous, it’s actually difficult to work out how to review part 1 of this release. Let’s see how this goes. Titular Dandy is an alien hunter, chasing down errant aliens in order to […]

The series takes place in the Japanese Hell and follows the day to day dealings of Hozuki, an ogre demon bureaucrat and right-hand-demon to the ruler of Hell, Great King Enma. The series is episodic and each episode is split into […]
Review: Ghost in the Shell 25th Anniversary Edition (Blu-Ray)
Ghost in the Shell was a tour de force when it hit international markets in 1996 following a domestic release the year prior. Mamoru Oshii’s adaptation of Shirow Masamune’s manga has become a legendary part of global anime fandom, with influence extending not only to other anime and manga but also to Hollywood, most famously […]
Review: Berserk: The Golden Age Arc Trilogy (Blu-Ray)
The tale of Berserk is a complex dark twisted fantasy conceived by it’s masterful creator Kentaro Miura. The Manga was first published in 1990 in a bi-weekly Japanese Magazine called ‘Young Animal’ which then got adapted into a 25 episode anime in 1997 of which was my entry viewing into the wide world of anime […]
AVCon 2015 round-up
AVCon, Adelaide’s premiere and long-running anime and video gaming convention, added it’s unique flavour to Adelaide’s CBD over 17-19 July 2015 and we were in attendance on the Sunday to check things out. For Inferno and I it was a little weird, having attended the first few AVCons when they were based at Adelaide Uni. […]
