Depressing Anime: A Battle Between Light and Dark
Spring back has ended, college has started, and I’m back from my short hiatus. Over the break I got to spend a good amount of time observing others, and looking at the anime community as a whole. Something I’ve noticed is that a lot of the things that fans seem to idolize and make well known is the depressing side of anime. Even when scanning the top anime I see a…

Final Impressions: Pupa
Pupa has been a long, strange ride. I’d love to say that I enjoyed it, but the truth is I couldn’t wait for it to be over. Instead of a gritty, disturbing look at a symbiotic brother-sister pair and the challenges that come with turning into monsters, I got a neutered mess that had no cohesive plot. What’s extremely frustrating is the fact that you simply can’t even blame the constraints of being a four-minute series with a limited amount of resources — talented writers and artists can…
4 Years of Blogging About "Chinese Comics"
To loosely quote Hideaki Sorachi, 4 years of writing and I’ve learned nothiiiiiiing…or not. Today marks the 4th year anniversary of this blog. There aren’t too many anibloggers who have gone on that long. Much has been on my mind this past year and there’s an idea that I want to implement that would be an interesting experiment for the coming year and beyond. <!– more –> Last year, I was with GoBoiano and thought my future was going to be bright with them. They have some interesting ideas on how to create a …
List of Legal Manga Reading Apps
ah Believe it or not, I had actually planned on doing a post like this someday. I had seen searches for legal manga apps in the site stats search engine (because I did this post most likely), but I struggled on how to explain them. That and general laziness. Well, lazy no more. I recently learned that the New York Times did a video promoting comics on the usual mobile platforms (iPhone, iPad, etc), and…they linked to a not so legal site. …

Kingdom Hearts 3 is still in development. What you saw in the trailer it is subject to change and Square Enix is still listening to their fans. Oh yeah. Before I go on the possible …

Psychology Fan Shout-Out: The Arkham Sessions
If there’s one Western superhero that is similar to an anime/manga lead character, it has to be Batman. He’s full of angst and rage, had a rough past, and has the looks of a bishonen oji-san when he’s not brooding. If you love exploring the psychology of other animated characters, I recommend you check out the Arkham Sessions, which aims to shine a light on a guy who loves…
Art Should Thrive in Chaos
If you’re an artist, some people may wonder how you are surviving. Art is not considered to be a profitable profession, despite providing joy to those who practice and appreciate it. Episode 8 of the dark comedy series, Hozuki no Reitetsu, highlights a character who is a talented artist, but works as a servant in Hell. Some interesting commentary was had, which may give hope to future artists. <!– more –> The character in question is a boy named Nasubi…
