tokyo godfathers

January 21, 2005

I finally got a chance to check out Tokyo Godfathers, a film from Satoshi Kon. I love this kind of movie because it’s layered in a haphazard way that unravels throughout the film. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, the movie gives you just a little more.
The film is based on […]

anime wallpapers

January 15, 2005

I don’t know about anyone else, but I just can’t get enough good looking anime wallpapers. I suppose I’m a desktop wallpaper slut… I change them all the time and I just can’t get enough of them. That said, if this is the type of stuff that floats your boat, but you have […]

get backers vol 1

January 15, 2005

I watched the DVD release of Get Backers vol 1 last night. The series is really a lot of fun. It’s a little frustrating that so early in the series there is a 3 episode adventure, since it seems a little detailed that early in the game, but the characters are quirky enough […]

Rurouni Kenshin: Reflections

December 3, 2004

Last night I watched the last DVD in the Samurai X collection, titled Reflections.
All I can say is that the writing was good, it was a romance that was utterly tragic yet beautiful, and the artwork was great. One of the things I’ve really appreciated about the whole OVA/movie thing is that there’s a […]

Samurai X the movie

November 27, 2004

I have finished watching the OVA for Rurouni Kenshin, and watched the movie. I like the idea that this sequel is really a prequel, “finishing” some really interesting historical (for the character) information, and giving more complete character to a really exciting guy.
Finishing up with the movie was a good bonus for me, partly […]

Samurai X

November 9, 2004

I have had the chance to watch the first disc of Rouroni Kenshin Samurai X. The style departs from the original series to something more serious and in some ways darker. I like the focus of the story and the cross of history with fiction. There’s not too much for me to […]

of milholland, gaiman, and miyazaki

June 13, 2004

Today has been most exciting. First off Randy has made his goal and can quit his job to do Something Positive full time. That’s just too neat for words, and says a lot, to me, about the power of fans as well as the wonder of webcomics.
He also got mentioned in Neil Gaiman’s […]

Jubei-chan

January 25, 2004

I have watched eight episodes of Jubei-chan. It’s a very cute anime. The premise is yet another magical girl opening, and she has the pleasure to be linked with a samurai of 300 years ago. Of course, much fun ensues. What really draws me to this piece is that she’s a […]

good source for reviews

January 15, 2004

Well well well, a blog that seems to tell things like they are. If you want to keep up on someone’s view of how things are going (and things do look pretty good), then take a gander at tokyojupiter: blog. Mighty interesting. Today there are shots from a Sailor Moon live action […]
