| 6:27am | Crusher Joe | | | | One of the classics of the 80s I never got to see back in the early days was Crusher Joe. I've been curious about it for a long time, and finally got the chance to watch the movie from 1983 and the two OVAs from 1989 today. They're both very different but very nice in their own ways, and are a time... | | |

| 6:58am | Taku Furukawa | | | | A while back I mentioned that Anido was working on the English version of their web shop. Well, it's up now, and there are a number of items of interest on there, so I thought I would talk about one of them today. I bought the Taku Furukawa DVD a few months back but just got around to watching it yesterday.... | | |

| 1:34pm | Bandai and the Marketing Blitz of Kannagi |  | | | When the Japanese company Aniplex held an industry panel at Anime Boston last May, their emphasis on the unlicensed series Kannagi: Crazy Shrine Maidens baffled the audience and bloggers. “Why are they spending so much time talking about Kannagi?” “The show’s still unlicensed,... | | |
| 10:06am | July Summary | | | | I must say, that we’ve got ourselves an awesome Summer Season here. Sure, there aren’t many series, but a significant majority of the new series succeed at what they intend to do. There may not be a lot of shows with awesome and ambitious story-lines, but in terms of slice of life and characterization,... | | |
| 5:05am | Chiptune | | | | Something I've always liked in animation is the notion of restrictions. Animation itself seems to impose certain inherent restrictions. Sometimes, more interesting results can be achieved when a set of restrictions are imposed. For example, the way Norman McLaren made a film entirely out of vertical... | | |
| 12:15am | Yakk! Deculture: A Close Encounter with Macross Frontier | | | | I discovered anime blogs only very recently. How recently? Spring 2008.

While I don’t deny this particular feeling of... | | |

If Oscars were given out for experimental films, it would surely have taken the award in 1982, when after 5 years of filming and editing Patrick finally unleashed this magisterial visual feast upon... | | |
| 1:44am | Hold On To Your Sanity, It’s the Happy Science Platform | | | | Here’s the sequel to my original post about the Happiness Realization Party, in which I discuss their amazing party platform. This article has zero relevance to anime, but after the original story was posted to MetaFilter I feel like this blog is the best place to put it. I’ll make it up... | | |
