While some people seemed to be aware of this news for some time, it was the first I ever heard of it. And I must say, I had some very mixed feelings...

As I packed and coded, I started wondering. Since I’d spent 4 years on this hobby, each of the figurines I’m packing up must hold some special meaning. Therefore, I’ve created this...

Make that 438 theaters. Yep, the English dub of "Eureka Seven - Good Night, Sleep Tight, Young Lovers" will be out in select US theaters on September 24th, just before our arrival...

This isn’t an official announcement so relax, nothing major is happeningyet.It’s funny, but recently I’ve got this incredible boredom for lack of work and...

Spring 2008. I apparently missed out on the heyday of anime blogging where significant events and shows (that still have influence over current opinion) were written about and discussed. While I don’t deny this particular feeling of ‘missing...

Some people would say Kawasumi Ayako, others Paku Romi or Orikasa Fumiko, Kuwashima Houko or Sawashiro Miyuki, even Horie Yui or Kugimiya Rie. But I'd like to suggest a new candidate: Koshimizu Ami.Ami is only 23, but has been working as a seiyuu since she...

I have already covered it from an allegorical angle, but what about the experience? How good is it as a show?There again, it does not disappoint.From the very beginning, which tantalizes the viewer with important story elements without making any...

Well, now I know what this movie,...

Eureka Seven was designed by Studio BONES and Bandai to be a sort of multimedia franchise that reaches out and expands beyond the normal frame of any single anime or manga series....

I already reviewed Gravity boys & Lifting girl, but now I’ll be reviewing the original for this post, and then working my way towards the new movie.Psalms of Planets Eureka Seven is...

I turned 32 half a year ago, but I feel like a fan a quarter my age. When I was 8 years old, the first run of SDF-Macross was still showing on local TV, and was totally in love with it. As I write this, I feel like that same kid like I’ve never felt in a long...

The Johnnies were calling out to me, sending me a message.JOHNNY!Actually, it was because I missed an episode and decided that I might as well wait till the series ends at 11 episodes. So, I waited for weeks, and now...

I’ve profiled them without using spoilers when I can, and I’ve provided warnings when I cannot avoid spoiling. Recently otou-san asked if there’s a place for ‘real’ women in...

I totally buy into the whole thing: the toys, the significance in otaku culture, the inside jokes, and whole tradition.
