  • Living Off Japanese Subculture

    Patrick Macias is blogging a storm these days, describing his adventures from all points of the Yamanote, and everywhere in between, and turning into a budding celebrity at the same time. He’s also appearing in some of the DVD extras for the new Japanese (Region 2) international version of GHOST IN THE SHELL 2: INNOCENCE.…

  • Production I.G Exhibition

    I don’t mention exhibitions much anymore now that I have the TAB badge in my sidebar (you can also subscribe to a feed of my recommended events), but I do want to make an exception for this new show at the Parco Museum of Art and Beyond covering the work of Production I.G. “Production I.G”…

Remember those ultra-cool bike sequences from…

    This month’s anime column is now up at Tokyo Q. It includes a short review of GUN X SWORD, and lots of news bites.

  • Gun X Sword

    In my last anime column I mentioned the new series GUN X SWORD. I’ll write more in the next column, but just want to say that I did like the first episode. Obviously, it’s still too early to tell if the storyline will be worth following, but the setting and designs are nice. It’s a…
