Anime-Beta TNG

Just finished watching Episode III - Descent/Advent... going off to curl up in the fetal position and try to once again process what is, at least to me, one of the most disturbing and disillusioning turn of events I've ever come across in any story. I was so awed at the re-telling of this part of th...

Looks like everybody's favorite space pirate is getting one heck of a cg-facelift. Can't wait!

Just finished watching episode II and all I can say is damn... sh*t just got real. I'm not sure I'll ever be ready for episode III, especially considering the trailer looks every bit as disturbing as I remember the original anime series being, except even more so (like the manga): *Warning! Intense ...

Just watched Space Battleship Yamato recently...and all I can say is that it really made me feel like I was 10 years old again. They nailed it - with many of the best parts of the anime well represented in the movie, and the dialogue as corny and soap opera-ish as I remember it in the anime. What a ...

I haven't updated my gallery in ages... just laziness I guess. There is one piece, though, that I haven't displayed yet that I am extremely fond of. I will say that after I get it back (it's currently being exhibited at The Cartoon Art Museum of San Francisco ) I am finally going to scan it proper a...

Magnificent Gally update, complete with original background.
Your Gunnm section is a joy to behold and I visit it often.
Looking forward to your future acquisitions.

I'm willing to bet it's because most of the new mkv files are in HD H.264 or higher and that you simply do not have the CPU horsepower to play them.

... hey, it's a dream I have.

I've always loved AMV's because they really can showcase an editor's passion for the genre, sometimes resulting in a true work of art. There are many "top-shelf" examples I've collected over the years and still watch quite often, but there's only one that I've ever posted*. I put it up a l...

I had a very nice correspondence a few years back with Paula O'Keefe who runs the amazing Amalgam website which is dedicated to all things Samurai Champloo . We realized we had battled for some of the same artwork over the years, and she wondered if I had it posted online anywhere. I, of course, imm...

I've always been curious as to why women nowadays seem to prefer men who have more physically distinct feminine characteristics - especially in the facial region as many of the girls' favorite male anime characters tend to exhibit. Well, I came across an interesting article in bio-medicine.org entit...

Great topic Keropi - kinda upset I didn't come up with it. :P Including many of those already mentioned, I also found Ergo Proxy to have some of the most complex dialogues and monologues ever written for anime. It is a deft mix of both philosophy (with many of the characters being named after famous...

Loved the movie - felt it was about as good a script as one could hope for in trying to retell the origin story of these almost mythical characters, which is saying a lot about the talent of these actors. April Webster (the casting director) should definitely be nominated for an award - too bad the ...

Those Battle Angel cels are fantastic, with a special nod towards the Gally and Ido cel in particular. :drool ... does anyone know why no one did more with the Battle Angel manga then they have done? It's one of my faves and it's really popular so I'm surprised no one's released anything else anime ...
