If you want to skip right to the review, click here, as I’d like to start with a bit of the story on how my current laptop came to be. I’m often asked why I use a Mac, especially considering my first computer from 1996 was a PC – one […]

Perhaps it is unfair to say the Pebble Time needs more time after only a month of usage, but Pebble Time in its current state is a bit of a disappointment. If you have an iPhone. For the Androrids, Pebble Time is probably better suited for you, and I would consider […]
Earlier this week, as part of a competition Crunchyroll is running, I released a video to YouTube talking about what Crunchyroll means to me. In case you haven’t seen it, here it is: However, having just renewed my Premium subscription for the fifth year in a row, there is much […]
I’m sure there will be significant backlash (or would, if I ever got any) over placing Euphonium over Unlimited Budget Works II: The Hype Is Real (actual title: Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works) for this anime season, but never before has there been a series that has surprised me like Euphonium has. While […]
I certainly hope it isn’t, but When Marnie Was There might be the perfect film to be Studio Ghibli’s last. I can’t think of a good spoiler-free plot summary, so I suggest the film’s website for one. Marnie is without a doubt a masterpiece, and if you have high expectations of Studio Ghibli, especially after […]
With the full title of The Tale of The Princess Kagugya, Kaguya may well be the most beautiful film of the year. Perhaps more important is the fact Kaguya shows very clearly Studio Ghibli is doing just fine Post-Miyazaki. In fact, if you asked me what my favorite Ghibli film […]
While in a lot of cases anime reuses the same element(s) over and over again (search YouTube for Every Anime Opening Ever Made), there are some series that stand out among others. You can have a series that looks great, but it can have a terrible story and/or English dub. […]
If you were to take a look at the anime I own or have rented, there’s a good chance you’d notice a couple of patterns. Welcome To Irabu’s Office falls under two: Psychology and noitaminA. Those two reasons made me pick me up from the library. Now, before I go […]
Let me make this stupidly clear: Yes, there are major spoilers inside. As much as I hate having to include spoilers in a review, I don’t think it’s possible to do a true review of the third (and currently) final movie in the Madoka Magica series, Madoka Magica: Rebellion, without […]
In case you missed it, Madman has an awesome lineup in store for anime in February. Kicking off the month is the third Madoka Magica movie, Rebellion, which is showing on both the 1st and 2nd of the month at Cinema Nova. It looks like additional showings were also now added due to […]
Well, kinda. It’s not on some cutting-edge console, doesn’t have 4KHD3DXYZ graphics, nor even some epic score, but it does have really simple controls. That’s a plus, right? As its namesake suggests, HabitPRG takes your daily habits and makes an RPG out of them. HabitRPG had a Kickstarter campaign that […]
It’s been less than a week since the release of Double Team, and it’s already hit the front page of iTunes. And for a very good reason. If there was any doubt the music of Pokémon could sound amazing – beautiful even – orchestrated, Double Team one-hit KOs that doubt. […]
Rainbow Moon, the highly addictive RPG from SideQuest Studios and eastasiasoft, is now available for the PSVita. If you have a PSVita and don’t have Rainbow Moon, stop reading this review, and go queue it up for download. Done? Good. Now good luck putting it down once the download is […]
Note: This is another post from the backlog, written October. Please adjust date and time references accordingly 😉 A couple of weeks ago, I had one of my typical Sunday visits to the State Library turn into a visit that left me with a mission to complete. I was catching up […]
First Things First Those of you who follow my Twitter feed and/or read The Age last Wednesday (20 November) may already know some of my thoughts on Melbourne’s newest tram, the E-Class, but I realize I haven’t formally shared them in one post. I’d like to change that. First off, in […]
Even though I watch quite a lot of anime, I very rarely review it. While I do hope to eventually review every series and movie I’ve watched, by the time one series has ended – which is when I prefer to write a review – at least five new ones […]
