I wasn't sure if there was any fellow Tomie fans who'd care to check this out, but ah what the hell. This is a Rhetorical Analysis/Close Reading of the Tomie manga series. I'm a big fan of anything Junji Ito, so I was honestly surprised to find there wasn't any character studies for any of his manga...

I gotta agree with Fvlminatvs. If you can, definitely go the Platinum edition route over the Perfect Collection. I have both sets and boy, is the platinum addition a huge difference!

The newest trailer along side all the interviews that've come out so far pretty much help you piece together the films general plot. Before the new trailer, I was unsure how they were gonna fit 4 different arcs into one film and whether it'd work well. Now that I have seen it, I definitely see how t...

Hmm, wha? The Mars Chronicle actually started up? Blah. I read all the Last Order stuff as it came out and then during the gap I stopped paying attention. Thank you for reminding me. Yeah, its a pretty great change of pace imo. I like this focus on the backstory, I think it's been a little overdue....

I've just caught up with Gunnm/Battle Angel Alita: Mars Chronicle. I'm very excited to see where they take the story from here with all this history and context exploration pertaining to the Gunnm Universe. I read the other two Alita series shortly prior and am always reading a Junji Ito work of som...

I doubt they'll change the eyes considering there's already an official trailer out and everything. It'd make them look real bad in my opinion if they were to buckle under pressure and rework their post-production over some simple criticism. I agree Dkop, I like the eyes as well and hope they stay t...

You know, bringing it up is making me wanna go back and take a more thorough read of the book. It's been quite a while since I came across it. I'm sure you can get it off amazon or something. It'd be really neat if there was a novel like that on Hedeaki Anno or Yasuyuki Ueda (Yasuyuki made Serial Ex...

I might've come across the book you've mentioned actually. It's called the Stray Dog of Anime, right? I've skimmed a chapter or two, its a pretty neat read.

I been gone for a little bit now, mainly due to putting this video together. I hope you guys will give it a try and enjoy it. It's a in-depth look into the theological symbolism of Angel's Egg as well as how this symbolism relates to Mamoru Oshii (Director of Ghost in the Shell). https://www.youtube...

Now I know some of you aren't exactly big fans of Tokyopop, but none the less, I'm excited to say a video I made is currently featured on Tokyopop's YouTube channel. I hope you guys check it out and tell me what ya think.

Hope you like it!
