The Mike Toole Show - Orbots Almighty

Apr 29, 16:45

2 comments

anime

Mike dives deep on the exciting history of a largely-forgotten, little-seen but totally awesome 1980s giant robot franchise called Mighty Orbots that only recently finally saw DVD release. ― Back in the 1980s, some folks at Walt Disney Televison Animation had a little saying. After the script, designs, and storyboards were finished up for an episode of something like, say, Gummi Bears, the next step ...

anime

These are just a few of the times TV anime was aired in a significantly altered state out of concern for Japanese broadcasting law, IP law or some other pesky reason - get ready for blinding lights! ― What sort of pesky things get anime censored on Japanese television? There's the standard "this is too scandalous for the airwaves" that causes an episode to be marred by steamy bathroom fog or obscuri...

japan

Aggretsuko paints a pretty bleak (and relatable) picture of the working office environment for women in Japan - but how close to the truth is it? ― Jacob asked: I was watching the Netflix release of Aggresuko, which chronicles the life of a modern Japanese office lady. Thought the series her boss, who is represented as an overweight pig, makes her life miserable and demeaning. In a lot of ways he re...

The True History Behind Golden Kamuy

Apr 27, 11:00

2 comments

anime

Beyond the bear attacks and treasure hunting, Golden Kamuy is a story rich with real-world historical relevance. Marco Oliveros offers context for the wars and treaties that led these lovable (and loathable) characters to seek riches in the frozen wilderness. ― Golden Kamuy is a story more heavily informed by its historical context than most. Sure, it has its gratuitous violence and gore, peculiarly ...

anime

This action and intrigue story starring an eclectic ensemble of assassins slipped under the radar last season, but Theron Martin is down to discover whether it's worth checking out in hindsight. ― The title of this light novel adaptation refers to a baseball team that most of the recurring characters play for, but that isn't evident until about a third of the way through the series' 12-episode run.

Lynzee Loveridge has the details. ― If you'd told me at age 14 that there was an anime series starring famous literary authors with superpowers based on their works, I would have died. Bungo Stray Dogs' premise taps into a very specific...
