And while you were reading this article, Sony rebooted Spider-man twice.

Dropping references to very obscure and bizarre game shows like Whew! and The Magnificent Marble Machine is really something. Why not throw in Money Maze for the trifecta?

I'd forgotten that Mary Steenburgen was the heroine in Time After Time. Curious little movie; glad it hasn't been completely lost to time.

doctorhawkes: Well, that goes without saying, right? Madoka Magica seems like the consensus pick for best anime of the decade thus-far, and would certainly get my vote.

Lately, I've been getting into an anime called Shirobako, which is about the anime business itself.

Personally, I'm a fan of the cute-but-doomed schoolgirls, but if it's anime action you dig, surely you've seen Attack on Titan, right?

I do not get the incessant praise for Up. Yes, yes, heartbreaking first reel, but did anyone watch the other 75 minutes of the movie? Talking dogs flying airplanes and everything?

Seems like remaking games from the 90s is the only way we get anything other than grimdark FPS or squad shooters.

Which of course is "Earth" in katakana. I don't get why people insisted that the ス must be read "th" instead of "s" (it can be either) while totally overlooking the switch-up of the エ and ア.

In a nod to gaming in 2015, Chocobo breeding is now done with in-app purchase. So if you want the Knights Of The Round summons, it'll cost you $49.

You misspelled "Aeris".

Honestly, though, after 7 seasons of TNG, 5 on DS9, plus 4 movies, hasn't Worf had enough screen time?

You've got to assume that the failure of Tron to be a viable franchise - the video games and Disney Channel cartoon never really clicked either - has to be a factor too. But at least we'll always have that glorious Daft Punk soundtrack.

Frank Zappa said something similar in his 1988 autobiography, The Real Frank Zappa Book, in a chapter on "Failure", in which he tried to actually start such a business:

I don't know how I've made it this far without seeing Macross Plus, and I suppose I should do so before the rights get lost in the whole Harmony Gold quagmire. I did watch Macross Frontier a few years back, and it was hard to get into from not having seen 7.

Gave my first-ever presentation at an anime convention, Anime Central in Chicago. Way too much material to fit in my time, but I'll probably re-do it as a video soon.

Oh right, I remember those. I have the S Generation one. I think they were put out by Tokyopop, the mostly-defunct manga company. At that point, the only FF I had was Final Fantasy VII Reunion Tracks, a best-of album that had arranged versions of the main theme, "Aeris' Theme", and "One-Winged Angel", all of which…

I seem to always have some flavor of symphonic Final Fantasy concert in my "Sync to iPhone" playlist, like Distant Worlds, More Friends, or Coming Home, though they're somewhat more self-same than they should be, and we could probably skip "One-Winged Angel" and "Aeris' Theme" every now and then… they've gotten stale…

+1 on the FFT "Staff Credit"… a great medley of the memorable themes.

Moreover, it's plausible that Tatsunoko would only be providing animation for Scout's Honor, and Japanese viewers would never see it. After all, Speed Racer was co-produced with NBC, and in the late 70's Tatsunoko animated Once Upon A Time… Man for European broadcasters without ever showing it in Japan. Heck, even Rock…
