Museum Celebrates Galaxy Express 999's 30th Anniversary
posted on 2008-06-05 03:10 EDT
On May 27, Tokyo's Suginami Animation Museum unveiled an exhibition commemorating the 30th anniversary of Leiji Matsumoto's Galaxy Express 999 space-opera anime. Adapted from a manga that Matsumoto himself began publishing in 1977, Galaxy Express 999 ran to 113 episodes as a television series and spawned three movies. There were several spinoffs as well, with the latest being The Galaxy Railways and its Ginga Tetsudo Monogatari: Eien e no Bunkiten sequel.
"The World of Galaxy Express 999" includes displays of original cels and other materials used in creating the anime and dioramas. A 150-inch screen is continuously showing Galaxy Express 999 movies and selected series episodes. The museum is also planning a panel discussion with guests who worked on the anime, but no date for that has been announced yet. The exhibition will run at the museum until August 24.

Fairy Tail GN 2One thing that can be said for Fairy Tail's sophomore volume: it exceeds expectations. How high the expectations were is something of a sticking point however.

Strawberry Panic!: Third Wheel Sub.DVD 3Those who plodded through the cutesy, frilly content of earlier volumes while hoping that something would happen will be partly rewarded here. Greatly increased fan service, decided relationship advancement, and a semblance of a developing plot all speak in this volume's favor.
Gakuen Alice mangaka Tachibana Higuchi, who wanted to make her third series cheerful, delivers a delightful shoujo series well worthy of its U.S. publisher's push for the frontlist.
If you too cringed at the sound of Kujibiki Unbalance flushing itself down a smelly toilet of irritating humor clichés, then perhaps you'll be pleased to hear the sound of it clawing its way back out with a renewed focus on its central love triangle.
The higher one aspires, the further there is to fall, but it's safe to conclude that mangaka Akira Hiramoto did not sell his soul to the devil to create Me and the Devil Blues. Though the manga is without question wildly ambitious, it fails to fully deliver on Del Rey's hype.
