Wizard World Chicago to Host Oreskaband in June
posted on 2008-05-30 13:31 EDT
Wizard World Chicago has announced that the all-female Oreskaband "entertainment ska rock" band will perform at the Illinois convention on June 27. They will also sign autographs and meet fans on the same day. After meeting up in middle school and playing as a band in high school, the six young women from Osaka performed the "Pinocchio" ending theme for Naruto and the "Tsumasaki" ending theme for Bleach. The band previously performed at the SXSW music festival in Austin, Texas, the Vans Warped Tour, and Anime Expo 2007, where ANN interviewed the six members.

The (small) boost in emotional content notwithstanding, this is still the series to hit up for a watching experience that is consistently fun and never taxing.
This is a collection of gags in search of a plotline, and when it finally does find a story to tell, the change in tone is so abrupt that you end up wishing it had stayed pointless and stupid.
A young man becomes obsessed with a young woman who can transform into an alien biomechanical dragon in this weak effort from Gonzo. While not a total disaster, it does not give much hope for the rest of the series.
If this is the kind of stagnation and dullness that permeates the monster world, then we should all be thankful for being human.
Alita is back and even more powerful than ever, but aside from a couple of fantastic scenes the story progression lacks the sense of excitement and anticipation commonly seen earlier in the series. Seeing one of the all-
