Tokyo Anime Fair: A Teasing Glance
When you see a never ending line of Otaku marching toward an exhibition gate, a press pass is priceless. But even after bypassing this dragon's tail, I was immediately submerged in a wave of anime fans as I waded into the exhibition hall.
Notes from under the Otaku
I'm in Tokyo and getting ready to head over to the Tokyo International Anime Fair!
Ikkitousen Xtreme Xecutor Preview
In case you haven’t heard, a promotional video (108 seconds) for Ikkitousen Xtreme Xecutor is currently being streamed on the anime’s Japanese website. The actual premiere is set for April 11.
Viz Anime: A New Web Community
Yep, this is social networking anime-style!
Bleach (Manga) Volumes 29 & 30
Anyway, it’s Bleach. You know you love it. Just go buy it!
Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple 2
A total knockout! Kenichi is about one thing and one thing only: the sweet science of fighting.
The Anime Beat Tokyo & San Francisco
And depending on how my Friday and Saturday goes – this is Tokyo, after all –, I might even try some live blogging; bring you some images and a report or two straight from the source. Hell, maybe I’ll even get a twitter and blow smoke up the rear of my mundane wait in the airport.
Evangelion 1.11.
Evangelion 1.11 is essentially the same movie as 1.01. And as we all know by now, this reboot is a creative recycling of the first six episodes of the original anime. Why release the same movie again? That is the question.
Nozomi Announces Release of Ninja Nonsense DVD Collection
The word is, once the show starts, the hilarity never stops!
FUNimation Streams Baka and Test and Dance in the Vampire Bund
I haven’t sat down with either yet. But the artwork for Dance in the Vampire Bund is damn sexy!

As an artist-in-residence, Otsuka will create an original manga inspired by the work of Utagawa Kuniyoshi. He will also be conducting illustration workshops open to the general public.
US Premiere of Mobile Suit Gundam UC
If you’re in San Francisco, or can at least get there anytime from March 19th to the 25th, then you’re in luck. Viz Cinema will debut Mobile Suit Gundam UC, and this is roughly one month after its debut in Japan!
Dragon Ball Z: Dragon Box 2
Dragon Ball does what Dragon Ball always does; it’s pure pugilistic indulgence! Even for the disinterested like myself, I have to give the tip of my hat.
Dante’s Inferno: An Animated Epic
Dante’s Inferno is as devoted to its video game origins as a reality show cast is to the camera phones loitering on Sunset.
Nozomi Announces Limited-Edition CLANNAD Lithograph
This lithograph is on high-quality paper (archival in fact), priced at $49.99, and includes a certificate of authenticity. Only 250 prints will be made.
Soul Eater, Part 1
Pure weapon-wielding fun! Soul Eater does what a lot of recent anime should do: it doesn’t take itself too seriously.
Dorohedoro: 01
Visionary is not an adjective I predicate often. But Q. Hayashida’s vision disturbingly invigorates our optical senses.
Crunchyroll Honors Makoto Shinkai
Shinkai simply reminds us of how anime’s kanji-inscribed vision miraculously penetrates the eyes and ears of the gaijin, as if some midnight doctor from the X-Files had sewn a translator chip into our cerebral flesh. We just know we get it. We know we love it.
Vandal Hearts: Flames of Judgment Giveaway
RPG fans listen up! Are you ready to join Tobias Martin and his comrades for free? That’s right, I’ve got ten pass codes for Vandal Hearts: Flames of Judgment to give away. These codes are good for both the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live.
