Death Note Review
A shining example of anime, or rotten to the core?

Live Action Anime Movies
When it comes to manga and anime, there's a very, very, very big audience. Whether it be in Japan, America, or anywhere else around the world many people tend to fall in love with these Japanese comics and animation. And you can't really blame them. Most of these stories that are showcased through these two mediums are very good in terms of the story, artwork, animation, music, and even voice acting. There are people who know who voiced who like the back of their hand. And I don't know how many people I know that have been introduced to Japanese music via anime. The same can also be said for Japanese television and movies. So the general point I'm trying to make is that anime/manga has become a gateway of sorts for many things to come out from Japan, and is also a gateway into a world of wonderful stories. And this realm as stated has a very passionate fan base who only want to see their favorites get the publicity and recognition they deserve.
And it's this sort of thought which leads many people to want mangas and anime to be turned into live action movies. Once again, you can't really blame them. Many of the countless stories found in both anime and manga are prime for live action films. It's a topic of debate for a lot of fans on what they want to see get made, and how they'd want to see something done. And movie studios have obviously recognized this. Japan cranks out quite a few live films a year based on anime, and Hollywood has done so as well (although less successfully then Japan). So it's clear that the idea of turning these animated and drawn stories into real life people is becoming quite the norm.

Summer 2013
This week: being fanservicey but not being a fanservice anime with STELLA JOGAKUIN KOUTOUKA C3-BU, finally satisfying my curiosities in SHINGEKI NO KYOJIN, theories on why I can tolerate the melodrama in GENEI WO KAKERU TAIYOU, and a simple suggestion to make UCHOUTEN KAZOKU even better.
Best episode of the week: MONOGATARI SERIES SECOND SEASON

Defining "Otaku Pride": Apparently, You Are Not An Anime Fan Unless You Are A Loser Too
This is an autobiographical entry.
Last weekend, I went to an anime con. I did the usual: took a bunch of photos, attended a few panels, got autographs from some English voice actors. Then I went on a wild shopping spree for figurines and other useless anime-related shit.
