Answerman - Why Do I See Pixels In Theatrical Anime Releases?
anime
A disappointing theatrical exhibition of a Ghibli classic leads one reader to ask Justin why we sometimes see pixels and other low-resolution artifacts even on the silver screen.
― Will asks: I've had the good fortune to be able to see numerous anime films at the cinema over the years - most recently your favourite, Only Yesterday. As I like to immerse myself in the visuals I prefer to sit towards t...
The Heroic Spirit of My Hero Academia
anime
Even in this age of gritty superhero reboots, My Hero Academia has an undeniably optimistic idea of what heroes really are - Nick Creamer gets into it.
― There's just something about heroes. Soaring through the sky or charging across the earth, brows furrowed, ready for action. Halting the spread of evil, or simply offering assistance where they can. Pursuing an ideal of justice, carrying the hopes o...
I am a Hero [Omnibus] GN 1
manga
A gross and fascinating look at what would happen if a zombie apocalypse hit a world where no one knew their zombie lore and was too wrapped up in the everyday to realize what was coming.
― What sets I am a Hero apart from all the other zombie manga and novels out there? I would say that it is the realism of it. Not realism as in the cause of the outbreak is particularly convincing or that the story ...

games

― Last week brought important news for the world of game-company mascots. Hideo Kojima remains coy about his first game after his departure from Konami, but the creator of Metal Gear and Snatcher (and, yes, Police...
Mysterious Girlfriend X GN 1
manga
Mysterious Girlfriend X is a surprisingly thoughtful reflection on teenage romance, using its weird premise as a clever metaphor for the perils of intimacy.
― I wouldn't blame anyone for being put off by the premise of Mysterious Girlfriend X. The idea almost invites revulsion - a boy and girl united by a spit-bond, where instead of kissing normally, the boy just slurps drool off her finger. When you...
Answerman - Why Isn't Korean Anime More Of A Thing?
anime
It seems like South Korea's anime industry should be a force in the world; is there a reason it hasn't quite developed? Justin gets into it.
― Mantaray59 asks: My question is about Korean animation. I remember back in 2009 there being an anime ‘Winter Sonata’ that was a Korean production and aired in Japan with Japanese subtitles, and how rare this was. Now I know South Korea and Japan don't exactly...
The Real Legends of Bungo Stray Dogs
anime
The supernatural detectives of Bungo Stray Dogs share a common thread: they're all based on world-famous authors from the past! Rebecca Silverman walks us through the real history behind the show's beautiful bishonen.
― It's a conceit more common to straight mysteries and steampunk – plucking authors out of their times and places and plunking them down in a semi-modern world (or an alternative versio...
Kamisama Kiss: Season 2 DVD
anime
Kamisama Kiss' second season is just as delightful as the first, taking Nanami to meet the other gods in Izumo and delving deeper into both her past and Tomoe's.
― There is something delightful about Kamisama Kiss, no matter what form it takes. For fans of Julietta Suzuki's original manga, the anime is less like watching a new adaptation of the story and more like simply seeing the manga move and spe...

Review: My Hero Academia Vol. 4
manga
My Hero Academia is in its element in a volume that mixes dramatic battles and strong character writing to stand at the peak of its genre.
― My Hero Academia's third volume was a bit of a lesser volume, focusing mostly on the cooldown period between two larger arcs. It was fun, but it was the manga leaning on its fundamental assets, and not truly demonstrating what it could really do. But that volume...
