manga
Shaenon learns that war is hell, even if you're a fuzzy bunny, in Motofumi Kobayashi's hit manga.
― Apocalypse Meow The most disappointing title change from manga to English translation happened last year, when the American movie version of All You Need Is Kill was released as Edge of Tomorrow. (Okay, okay, All You Need Is Kill was a light novel before it was a manga, but bear with me, I'm riffing.)...

The X Button - Disposable Heroes
games
This week, it’s import time with Dragon Quest, Doraemon, and God Eater! Plus Azure Striker Gunvolt, a new contender for Harvest Moon’s turf, and another old cartoon about video games!
― I mentioned the Power Team last week. It's not a very good cartoon, and it's notable mostly because it gave animated exposure to some video-game characters destined for obscurity. So perhaps I should cover an older c...

11 Reasons to Back Devil's Legacy on Kickstarter
anime
The Devil's Legacy Kickstarter launched today. Here are 11 reasons (of many) to back the production of this new anime OVA.
― IMG avalon.jpg Devil's Legacy is unique. Imagine a cross between Berserk and Ghost In The Shell, but directed in the style of Go Nagai*, with a bit of Death Note added in for good measure. It's a story worthy of the Dante's Divine Comedy. What other anime has a spectacularly u...

Eccentric Family Sub.Blu-Ray
anime
This little-seen family adventure about a group of tanuki living in Kyoto has careful writing and beautiful scenery; Nick Creamer thinks it might just be a modern classic.
― In the guidebook accompanying Eccentric Family, series composer Shotaro Suga speaks frankly of the difficulty of condensing an entire book into an anime, and the question of where to even begin telling the story. “There are just ...
