Looking at Japan’s history with being an empire and encountering others, here’s a rather too long post about how I see history perhaps influencing anime in the portrayal of different kinds of empires.

Midway we realized that the roadsides were all white, and it reminded me of the sakura trees in the university. Needless to say, we headed off that way.Not much of a sight but this magnormous carpark simply fills up to...

The different approaches to animated filmmaking learned at each respective studio consequently provide the foundation for these directors. Some started out at Toei Doga but migrated...

I used to think little of this sort of whining, mainly labeling it as oldfags’ stubborn refusal to keep up with the times. That is until the same feeling hit me and the idea...

One of my favorite periods is 1990-1995, when you get OVAs with a sort of crazed energy in the directing and storytelling, and realistically tinged yet fun and manic animation. Unlike in the late 80s, one of the things in the air at this...
