Doctorkev’s Winter 2025 Anime Postmortem — Crunchyroll

Vlad Love was awful, I can’t believe I suffered through all twelve episodes, but I stuck with it because “surely it can’t be that bad, it’s Mamoru Oshii”. Spoiler: it was that bad. Unfortunately, Oshii hasn’t made anything very worthwhile in the past two decades or more. I can’t imagine a...

No screenings in Aberdeen… again. Have Cineworld stopped taking Anime Limited’s calls or something? 2 of the 3 cinemas here belong to Cineworld, but that chain doesn’t seem to have shown Anime Limited’s last few releases. The Vue cinema here never shows anime any more.

Doctorkev’s Thoughts on the Autumn 2024 Anime Season Part 2

Is it only going to be at Odeon cinemas? Once again, nobody wants to show anime in Aberdeen... Cineworld, despite having two cinemas in Aberdeen, only shows a tiny selection of anime, and the Aberdeen Vue branch stopped bothering ages ago. The nearest Odeon is in Dundee and I don't think...
