    , ,

    “Miyazaki – An Art Show Tribute” was an exhibition held at San Francisco’s Spoke Art gallery this past month, and luckily we can browse through all of the pieces (and even buy them) on the gallery’s site. Pictured, Justin Hillgrove’s “Miyazaki Totems.” Found via Booooooom.

  • Miyazaki Is Back (Again)

    —

    ,

    It’s not the first time he “retires,” and who knows if we’ll see the same thing happen again, but it was officially confirmed by Ghibli producer Toshio Suzuki that Hayao Miyazaki is working on a new feature film for the studio. To be honest, I’m much more interested in hearing about other future plans for…

  • Cyborg 009: The Call of Justice

    —

    ,

    Although I’ve heard of the franchise, I’ve never actually read or watched any Cyborg 009. I saw that a new series just debuted on Netflix, and so decided to watch the first episode. So far so good — the episode does a good job of setting up the whole thing, so I don’t feel like…

    I was so excited when I found out that we were getting a new film directed by Masaaki Yuasa this spring (Yoru wa Mijikashi Arukeyo Otome), and now there’s the news that, by the way, he has yet another movie coming out this spring. Here’s the trailer for Lu Over the Wall, which comes off…

  • Onihei Hankacho

    —

    Of the three new series I wanted to check out during the 2017 winter anime season, this is the one I’m enjoying the most. As I had written in my preview post, I didn’t know much about this series except for the general Edo-period setting, and that the main character is a law enforcer. Two…

  • ACCA

    —

    This was one of the series I included in my 2017 winter anime post as something I wanted to check out, and I’ve now watched the first 2 episodes. Although not bad, I’m still not sure whether I want to continue watching it or not — which is probably a sign that I should just…

  • Granblue Fantasy The Animation

    —

    ,

    I recently started playing the Granblue Fantasy mobile game — one of the most popular RPGs in Japan these days — so was especially interested in checking out the new anime adaptation that debuted this week (I had already included it in my 2017 winter anime post though). They kicked things off with 2 episodes, and although…
