Wishing everyone the best for the coming year. I might even update the gallery with new photos soon. In the meantime, you can keep up with my written work at my blog: http://andthegeekshall.wordpress.com/ All the best to you all out there.

On the 3rd & 4th of July, I was involved with an academic conference via the University of Tasmania, granting me the opportunity to present an academic paper (via a lecture) on dystoptian narrative in anime. Here's a link to the video of it if you are interested in watching me ramble for 20 minutes. http://andthegeekshall.wordpress.com/2014/07/05/dystopia-denied-dystopian-narratives-in-anime-conference-paper-video/ Note: the sound quality isn't great due to YouTube screwing things up.

The article that I co-wrote with my supervisor on the legendary anime flm director Hayao Miyazaki. Feedback please: http://theconversation.com/miyazakis-legacy-is-sure-to-live-on-whether-or-not-he-retires-23780

Saw Miyazaki's latest opus, [i]The Wind Rises[/i]. Read my review and others like it here: http://andthegeekshall.wordpress.com/2014/03/03/anime-review-the-wind-rises-by-miyazaki-hayao/

Haven't really had the time to update things here because am so busy with my Masters thesis and other work. as well as constantly moving house & trying not to go psycho. Anyway, here is a very raw draft of an article that I wrote on Hayao Miyazaki, who made such films as Spirited Away. Enjoy and give feedback if you can: http://andthegeekshall.wordpress.com/2014/03/02/academic-article-miyazaki-the-man-the-mould-the-machinations/
