Review: Mary and the Witch's Flower
anime
"If Mary and the Witch's Flower proves one thing, it's that Studio Ghibli has nurtured enough talent to match Miyazaki's raw skill." Our review of Studio Ponoc's first feature is live now.
― “Who will be the next Miyazaki?” is a question that is often asked, but it's yet to receive a satisfying answer. Hayao Miyazaki's personality has dominated the Studio Ghibli brand for so long that it's doubtful t...

PC Impressions - Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls
games
The "harrowing, horrifying, macabre, and generally icky" Danganronpa spinoff finally gets a PC port, and Dustin dares to give it a spin.
― I'm enough of a post-ironic 90s child to have allowed “rad” to slip back into my vocabulary as a catch-all for things that are pretty good, but there's no better word than that to describe the style of Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls—as long as yo...
Answerman - Why Is Anime Dialogue Recorded After Animation Is Done?
anime
DIalogue for many Western cartoons is recorded before animation is done; in Japan, the animation is done first. Why is that? Justin gets into it.
― James asks: Some time ago, you stated that one of the major differences between western animation and Japanese animation is that, in western animation, all dialogue is recorded first, and then the animation is done to match the dialogue, while, in Japane...
How Photographs Can Be Used To Create Manga/Graphic Novels/Comics
manga
What if you could have a manga-style story in live-action? No, we don't mean a film or a TV show based on a manga, but an actual comic strip that uses photography, plus ingenious practical and digital effects.

Shelf Life - Divine Gate
anime
Not all mobile game adaptations are created equally, as clearly witnessed in the unfortunate case of Divine Gate. PLUS: all of this week's new anime DVD and bluray releases!
― It's Preview Guide time again! There have been a couple of nice surprises this season, along with some big-name titles and a few genuine stinkers. Check it out if you haven't already, but first we've got some new releases to s...
KanColle: Kantai Collection BD+DVD
anime
The command of the Girls Fleet is yours in this high-concept anime about anthropomorphized WWII battleships; Theron Martin dons his admiral's cap for a closer look.
― The Strike Witches franchise features teenage witches who essentially become anthropomorphized WWII-era fighter planes in an effort to fight off alien invaders. Arpeggio of Blue Steel features young women who are avatars of revamped WWI...
The Mike Toole Show - Searching for Star Blazers
anime
It's a top-shelf, lavish remake of a smash hit sci-fi anime series many Western fans would love to get their hands on - so why did Mike have to import it from Italy to watch it legally?
― I tried to be patient for Star Blazers 2199. I skipped out on pirating the series; that's not really something I do anymore, unless the title in question only ever came out on VHS in 1988. When Voyager Entertainment...
Vinland Saga GN 8
manga
Vinland Saga continues to be compelling as Thorfinn searches for sponsors for his trip to Vinland and somehow ends up with a dog and a baby instead.
― The violence of Makoto Yukimura's Viking epic Vinland Saga has waned. It was an important factor in hero Thorfinn's early development – without his time with Askeladd and his armies, Thorfinn would never have developed either the ambition that he has t...
The List - Six Underrated Anime Witches
anime

― Studio Trigger's Little Witch Academia television anime was just released from its streaming prison at Netflix, which means fans will finally get to follow Atsuko, Sucy, and Lotte on their magical adv...
A Bride's Story GN 8
manga
A Bride's Story takes a more lackadaisical turn for an unexpectedly rejuvenating volume. Nick Creamer pores over this volume's strengths.
― After the high theatrics of the sixth volume battle, volume eight at last returns us to the village of Karluk and Amir. With the danger passed, this volume focuses on the long recovery, as the many members of their village band together to repair the damage to th...
