    Yes, indeed, it’s true, animation is not just for kids. Everybody outside of North America knows this.

Japanese publisher Shufu-to-Seikatsusha, known for its numerous women oriented publications, has started publishing a new anime magazine aimed at adult Japanese women. The…

    It’s come to my attention (thanks, Paul) that Zhang Yimou’s latest, HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS, is presently playing at the Roppongi Hills Virgin Cinemas with English subs. You can check the schedule here. I plan on seeing it sometime this week. Also, it seems that Wong Kar-Wai’s 2046, which opens in Japan in two weeks,…

    SAMURAI CHAMPLOO is settling into a very nice groove, and the latest episode was definitely the best one yet. An intro featuring a recap with hip-hop beats and old-style Japanese, a perfect mix of action and comedy… It’s also come to a point where we really know these characters, and their characterizations are really flowing.…

    I guess my magazine service is no longer needed. I just learned that Amazon Japan now has a magazine section. I imagine that ordering magazines from there will be cheaper than what I can do, and it’ll also be nice to be able to browse yourself, and get costs right away. What I will do…

    I’ve really been enjoying the MONSTER animated series these past few months, based on the Urusawa Naoki manga, and Patrick’s Agenda blog brings news of a new remix compilation for the show that features remixes by the likes of Sunaga Tatsuo and Jazztronik (who’s NANAIRO album is now a favorite on Yuko’s iPod). It comes…

    The new issue of COMPOSITE (1) is out, and it looks really nice. The previous issue, labeled 0, announced a renewal that saw the magazine become bilingual (translations of the articles appear at the end).
