    I’m late on posting about the opening party, but I think it’s still worth mentioning that Creative Hybrid and So+Ba have just opened a new gallery/studio space out in Setagaya (5-29-20 Kyodo, 03-3706-2360).

    I finally got a chance to watch the first episode of KEMONOZUME the other day (it airs Saturdays at 00:30 on WOWOW), and I’m not even sure where to start. OK, let’s start by saying that this is one of the most interesting new anime series I’ve seen in while, and it feels good to…

    Gotta say that I wouldn’t mind making it out to Oto in Shinjuku for their 11th anniversary bash at the end of the month (September 29). Patrick has the full line-up of DJs, which will be accompanied by a live set from Karia Nomoto.
