| 10:33pm | 2007: Year in Review |  | | | 2007 IMO was a interesting year for anime IMO, as I felt that it didn’t reach the hights of 06. Despite this, I thought that there was a return to anime that were based on manga, then anime being original. Best Male Lead: Lelouch Lamperouge (Code Geass) Runner Up: Li Sheng Shun aka Hei (Darker... | | |
| 1:25pm | YouTube Neta Battle |  | | | A few ex Microsoft colleagues (who are now at Google Japan ^^;) are holding an event at Shibuya 109 called YouTube Neta Battle. As you can see from the photo, there was a huge box set up like a YouTube player where the top YouTube artists would get in and perform. For some reason I ended up inside... | | |
| 8:10pm | Macross Frontier 1: First Impressions | | | | It’s almost cruel to put out the first episode of Macross Frontier, possibly the coolest Christmas gift evaaar, only to declare that we won’t see the rest until the spring; right from the first rumbles and rumours I’d been keeping my eyes peeled for any tidbit of news or scrap of promo... | | |
| 3:37pm | Initial Thoughts - Macross Frontier | | | | It’s hardly cool to admit it, but I absolutely adored Macross Zero, glowing naked singing hippy women, floating rocks and all. It was actually only my second exposure to the Macross universe after, rather oddly, Macross II, which I understand has been completely disowned and renounced as having... | | |
| 5:15am | Macross Frontier 1–Now that’s what I call a big bang! |  | | | Don’t ya feel so manly watching them fast fighter planes? I’ve seen most of the original Macross TV series, the movie Do You Remember Love?, and Macross Plus. This new series, Macross Frontier, was exciting to me for simply one reason–it marks the return of Yoko Kanno to the helm of the... | | |
| 11:14pm | 2007: the token retrospective | | | | As anime and manga slowly but surely become more and more of an integral part of the UK’s popular culture, it’s fair to say that we as fans have never had it so good. Whether you share this view or not, there have been some important events in the past twelve months that have, for better or for... | | |
| 11:20pm | Love Hina manga | | | | Everyone has a title or two that, against our better taste or judgement, we can’t bring ourselves to dislike. Whether it’s that derivative parade of shiny mecha, overlong Shonen Jump cash cow or high tech girls-with-guns offering, we all have one that we hate to love. I can even name a title... | | |
| 1:51pm | Macross Frontier trailer |  | | | Let’s hope they include a GAR Roy Focker like character as well… Well, I’m pretty much in a (slightly) happy mode when the announcement that a new Macros series is in production. And yes, I was (slightly) salivating when I saw the trailer. Before I go any further, here’s the trailer at YouTube:... | | |
