Re: What are you Watching?

Started watching the new Dororo adaptation. I like what I've seen so far; it gives a fresh coat of modern paint to bring the older aesthetic to be more in line with modern sensibilities. That being said, the story of the original work is not too unlike what you could find in modern Shonen Jump fight...

Japan Travel Suggestions?

Hi folks, With very high likelihood I will be visiting Japan late March to early April. The last time I was there was in 2015 for my third summer in a row before realizing I didn't actually want to live and work in Japan. Also unfortunately as a consequence, I didn't go out of my way to make use of ...

Re: Mechademia

I'd always meant to go check it out but it totally slipped from my mind in favor of focusing on school stuff. I guess I have the time now that I'm not in school anymore but I've been more curious about finding an equivalent Japanese academic journal covering the same material. Haven't found one yet ...

Music into Another World ~ Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêamise ~

https://karageko.com/2018/12/16/music-into-another-world-royal-space-force-the-wings-of-honneamise/ This is a translation of an accessible, analytic take on the music of Royal Space Force and its effect on the movie. Frankly, I was pretty sure that I'd probably never put up anything about Royal Spac...

Re: 1978 - anime's greatest year?

Thanks for this Dave. I furiously typed notes down on my phone at the panel but this is a lot better than me trying to piece together my incomprehensible gibberish.

Re: Fred Patten RIP

Today I have learned that Dave's not the only candy cartoon promoter in the anime wild west. http://cartoonresearch.com/index.php/anime-fandom-in-north-america/ Candy Candy. We didn’t watch only the boys’ adventure anime. We at least sampled the girls’ anime. Actually, I was the big rooter for Candy...

Re: I forgot about the Urusei Yatsura movies...

There's not really that much storyline to be affected in the UY TV series. If you really want to play it safe, just look at the original date of release and don't watch anything that came out after whatever TV series episode you're on (this is what I did). I can't recall anything that would have sig...

Re: Fred Patten RIP

Well damn. I'd always been loosely aware of who he was but it was another one of those names in fandom whose writings I'd been meaning to read, and hadn't gotten around to yet. It's been quite touching to see the people I follow in fandom extol his legacy and achievements. I'll have to get off my bu...

Re: What are you Watching?

I think those were helmed by Nishizaki, which explains a lot of your problems. I mean, I wanna like Odin: Photon Space Sailor Starlight.... but again its Odin... :roll: Nishizaki wasn't involved in Dai Yamato Zero Gou, but was indeed involved with 2520 and Resurrection. I thought Resurrection was t...

Re: What are you Watching?

Alright I'm taking a break from Yamato for a while before I dig into 2199 and afterwards, which is probably good timing since there's still a bit more that has yet to come out as far as I understand. Finished up Yamato 2520, Dai Yamato Zero Gou, and Space Battleship Yamato: Resurrection, and kept my...
