    I was so excited when I found out that we were getting a new film directed by Masaaki Yuasa this spring (Yoru wa Mijikashi Arukeyo Otome), and now there’s the news that, by the way, he has yet another movie coming out this spring. Here’s the trailer for Lu Over the Wall, which comes off…

    Of the three new series I wanted to check out during the 2017 winter anime season, this is the one I’m enjoying the most. As I had written in my preview post, I didn’t know much about this series except for the general Edo-period setting, and that the main character is a law enforcer. Two…

    This was one of the series I included in my 2017 winter anime post as something I wanted to check out, and I’ve now watched the first 2 episodes. Although not bad, I’m still not sure whether I want to continue watching it or not — which is probably a sign that I should just…

    I recently started playing the Granblue Fantasy mobile game — one of the most popular RPGs in Japan these days — so was especially interested in checking out the new anime adaptation that debuted this week (I had already included it in my 2017 winter anime post though). They kicked things off with 2 episodes, and although…

    Katsuhiro Otomo’s Akira — the manga/film that predicted the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo — is a feast for the eyes, and here’s a great collection of 12 pieces of background art from the animated film.

    I really do need to make a point of highlighting every episode of Toco Toco TV here, because it truly is my favorite online video series. The episode before the latest (on Shinji Tsuchimochi) covered musician Daisuke Kashiwa, who has been composing the soundtracks for the animated films of Makoto Shinkai, whose latest film, Your…

    My buddy Matt Schley brings to my attention a fantastic zine (3rd issue) that he’s produced with a group of people — under the Colony Drop monicker — that is dedicated to one of those classic anime series you should watch if you haven’t (or as they describe it, “the one giant robot show that’s…

    There’s a trailer out for Masaaki Yuasa’s next film, Yoru wa Mijikashi Arukeyo Otome, and it’s a visual treat. I cannot wait to watch this. The film comes out in theaters in Japan next April.

    I mentioned the other day in my 2017 winter anime post that I was interested in the upcoming movie Hirune Hime: Shiranai Watashi no Monogatari. Out on March 18, a trailer was released recently, and it looks great. What got my interested at first is the fact that Christophe Ferreira — a French animator working…

    Although I’m still pretty busy watching the series that I mentioned being interested in my 2016 fall anime post, I’m already curious and excited to see what’s coming up next. Thankfully, AniChart already has a pretty good look at what we can expect to see during the 2017 winter season, and here’s what I’m already thinking…
