My name is Alicia Haddick, a writer and freelance journalist specialising in video games, anime, film and Japanese culture with English and Japanese language proficiency. I create stories that use sensitive, grounded, realistic dialogue to bring humanity to fantastical scenarios and heart to personal explorations of trauma and internal struggles. In my work I specialise in interviewing creators, investigative reporting, reviews and event coverage, with experience covering events such as Berlin, London and Tokyo Film Festivals, Anime Japan, Tokyo Game Show, Bitsummit, Granblue Fantasy Fes and more.

As NieR Automata celebrated its 5th anniversary on the eve of its new anime, I went to their fan festival to report on this celebration of this unlikely success story.
