One of the greatest unknowns we had entering the modern era was just how technology would affect our daily lives. A plethora of 90s films such as The Lawnmower Man, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, and Hackers all painted wild depictions of what technology would look like and how things would evolve. Completely normal 90s…
I have been receiving quite a few emails and tweets asking about the status of my Dubs w/ Dil articles. The last time I wrote for the series, I had, quite honestly, the best thing that could happen to me writing such an article happen. Stephanie Sheh, the voice director and star of Your Name. promoted my article and…
Horror is a really difficult genre to win with thanks to how quickly the product can sour or dully go by. Stuff a work with lots of characters getting waxed off and the result is something thoughtless and difficult to sit through; keep everyone alive, liter the story with jump-scares to move things along and it is…
Yesterday, the much anticipated announcement trailer for Production I.G.’s follow up to the 2000-2001 hit series FLCL dropped at Anime Expo. The high profile anime gained a considerable amount of traction earlier this year due to the news that Adult Swim (the late night blocks on the cable television channel Cartoon…
It is that lovely time of year again! The sunshine brings barbecues, camping, swimming, and gardening just to name a few of the staple activities accompanying the weather. If you’re an anime fanatic, however, this time of year usually means one key thing is added to your agenda: binge-watching series (new and old)…
After the Cleveland Cavaliers lost in five games to the unhealthily stacked Golden State Warriors team featuring defensive monster/sharpshooting human tarantula Kevin Durant and the hero for every twelve year old and fan of less than two years in Stephen Curry, there seems to be no stopping their dynasty. Since then,…
I know it seems silly to make a note of, but if you don’t put that tag on your post, we won’t be able to search for your post to share to our front page. We’re always looking for great new writers who want to discuss anime, so please do not be discouraged to write!
Growing up I had fond memories of finishing my homework at the living room coffee table and watching television with my father at the end of a long weekend. More times than not, he would doze off by the time I finished my work and would patiently wait for him to wake up. This was my pastime of choice because whenever…
While I cannot speak for most, I sometimes sneer or discredit a film or video game as it is in development, only to realize at a later time that I find the very same work enjoyable. Call it a quick judgement or human nature, however the question in what exactly won something over for an individual who previously had…
I have always been incredibly grateful for my family, but my hero bar none is my mother. No matter what, she has always been super supportive of what I was doing and not only supported it, but also embraced it to get an idea what I was into and to have more family experiences. Growing up on shows like Dragon Ball, my…
Spanning back to January of last year, the blockbuster NISIOISIN novel KIZUMONOGATARI-Wound Tale was adapted into a movie trilogy. Like the rest of the Monogatari franchise, animation studio Shaft took up the difficult task of adapting a work known for exposition and a hellish scenario for the main character. In a…
Unless you’ve been living underneath a rock for the past year, chances are you have at least heard of the juggernaut of a film Your Name. and just how much it has won over fans worldwide. Released 7 April 2017 for a U.S. theatrical run, many had their first taste of the wild romance that crosses time itself. Compared…
Kyoto Animation has never been shy to adapting bizarre comedy series over the last decade or so- finding great success in the likes of Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! and Nichijou- My Ordinary Life. Perhaps that is why many were anticipating a dream matchup for the veteran studio in the popular comedy manga Miss…
So rather than some gag article, I thought it would be fun to put together a little project for today. After a vote between my Twitter followers and the AniTAY community, the most requested project was a dub of the worst show I have ever seen, Pupa. Naturally, I called up my partner in crime, Gugsy, and we just had at…
Following professional Shogi player Rei Kiriyama through the ups and downs of his young career, personal life and internal struggles, March Comes in Like a Lion promises to be a story rich in character development and heart-plucking drama.
The well respected 2005-2006 mecha romance epic will be getting a surprising movie trilogy spanning the next three years, according to a Crunchyroll report. While the same staff is on board (director, screenplay writer, and character designer), we will have to wait to see the differences in the rest of the nucleus…
One of the most difficult franchises I have seen, Fate has had me teetering between adoring and loathing it. A majority of my viewership comes from the three series adapted (Fate/Zero and Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works by ufotable and Fate/stay night by Studio DEEN) and window watching of the boatload of…
Dil calmly cleans his apartment to the light sounds of classical music coming from his speakers. His father calls, asking about what his weekend plans were. With his extended weekend, he finally was looking forward to getting around to reading books and doing normal people things. Dusting off a photo frame, he kisses…
With moving back to the States and getting settled into a new job, Winter 2017 has been a really busy season for me so far. Despite the exhaustion that comes with such a transition, anime has been as strong as ever to reward the days. A majority of the series I have enjoyed are either far older or ones I started…
