    The JAPAN TIMES takes a look at the “Psionic Distortion” exhibition that’s taking place at SuperDeluxe. It covers underground manga, with works from artists that were associated with the old GARO magazine (the image above is by Kago Shintaro). When Missouri-born artist and curator Tim Evans first flipped through the dog-eared pages of an old…

    Lots of digital film action happening this upcoming weekend, along with the Resfest at the Laforet Museum. This is the 2004 edition of Jeonju International Film Festival’s project producing short films of three selected Asian filmmakers. This year the three are Bong Joon-ho (“Memories of Murder” ), Yu Likwai (“Love Will Tear Us Apart”) and…

    Thanks to some gift certificates I received from my credit card company (yes, there are some times when using a credit card can be a good thing), today was a magazine purchasing bonanza. I picked up the latest AXIS (112), ART iT (The Korean Art Scene), and +81 (26). This of course brings me feelings…

    Lots of cool talk happening at Neomarxisme. Agree with him or not, it’s nice to see how the discussions are affecting the new posts, pushing things in new and unforseen areas.

    Well, this piece of news sure makes me want to get a PSP. Fans of Space Channel 5 and Rez will have something to look forward to on the PSP as Bandai will release Tetsuya Mizuguchi’s Lumines on December 12. Mizoguchi was the creative lead on both SC5 and Rez. And that video I’ve just…

    The other day I caught this cool anime ad on TV for Nike, and it ends up that it was produced by Studio 4C (they did two shorts of the ANIMATRIX project, as well as the recent MIND GAME film). Although it was only to be used in the Japanese market, the ad agency liked…

    Tokyo is of course all about design in October, and then film in November, what with the Resfest and FILMeX festivals both happening. Launched with the aim to introduce a new wave of filmmakers and cinematic trends, Tokyo Filmex is held for the fifth time this year. The program is once again convincing enough to…

    Back in March I was posting about the directing group NE-O, and a commercial they were planning to shoot in Tokyo. A reader has sent a link the finished work.

    Last night I finally got to see the live-action CUTIE HONEY movie. My verdict? Well, it’s deliciously camp, yet not sexy enough. I mean, it’s Cutie Honey, she’s SUPPOSED to get naked, right! They tried to make this into a family film (this is quite funny when you realize that the director is none other…
