  • Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping

    —

    ,

    I love the Lonely Island crew, always loved the SNL Digital Shorts they made, and even though they’re usually uneven, I like their movies too. Watched Popstar a few nights ago, and what I can say, I thought it was fucking hilarious. Laughed quite a bit throughout, and just overall thought it was a hell…

  • Ani-Kuri 15

    ,

    I just watched a fantastic collection of animated shorts called Ani-Kuri 15. Produced for NHK back in 2007-2008, it’s comprised of 15 1-minute shorts each directed by some of the top names in the animation field, including Kon Satoshi (pictured), Mamoru Oshii, and Makoto Shinkai (in fact, it’s while searching for works by Shinkai that…

  • Picross 3D Round 2 (Demo)

    —

    ,

    With the release of Picross 3D Round 2 last week, and my newfound love for Picross thanks to the My Nintendo edition I’m currently playing, I was excited to give the 3D game a try thanks to the demo they’ve also released. Having played through that demo, I gotta say that I think I much…

  • My Nintendo Picross: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

    ,

    I’d unlocked this through the My Nintendo account I have with points a while back, but had forgotten to download it, something I finally got around to doing this past weekend. Boy am I late to this party. This is the first time I play a Picross game – I’m not particularly attracted to puzzle…

  • Voices of a Distant Star

    —

    ,

    The last of Makoto Shinkai’s works I’ve watched so far is this 25-minute OVA, which tells an interesting story of two young lovers separated by a war in the galaxy, and how the light years of distance between them affects the way they can communicate. You can tell it’s an earlier work, as it doesn’t…

  • Dareka no Manazashi

    —

    ,

    After watching Makoto Shinkai’s 5 Centimeters Per Second film, I followed it up with this 6-minute short. Like with 5 Centimeters, it incorporates a hyper-real world, beautiful scenery and colors, all in a fun little near-future tale of a woman dealing with growing up and the relationship she maintains with her father. I recommend watching…

  • 5 Centimeters Per Second

    —

    ,

    As I wrote yesterday on my personal blog, I’ve just discovered Makoto Shinkai, and started my viewing of his works with this film, which is made up of three interlocking chapters. The story of young love didn’t really grab me, but what did grab me was the stunningly beautiful animated world we’re presented with, both…

  • Mr. Robot (Season 2)

    —

    ,

    I was planning on binging the season once it was over, but playing the Mr. Robot iOS game put me in the mood to dig in, and now I just hit episode 7, and wow. And the opening 15 minutes of episode 6. Without reading specific things about the season, I was getting a general…
