Cowboy Bebop: Heaven’s Door actually takes place between episodes 22 and 23 of the main series. The same style, aesthethics and musical stylings are kept in tact here so you won’t feel like you’re watching something that was made separately from the series. There’s a pathogen that was released on Mars killing and injuring around… Continue reading Cowboy Bebop: Heaven’s Door (Kaubōi Bibappu: Tengoku no Tobira)

Samurai Champloo (Samurai Chanpurū)
Cowboy Bebop, Space Dandy, Cowboy Bebop: Heaven’s Door, and Samurai Champloo. What is the common thread? They were all directed by Shinichirō Watanabe. Like Cowboy Bebop, I bypassed this one at first and not even sure why but after watching Cowboy Bebop, I just had to go back and watch it. This show again has… Continue reading Samurai Champloo (Samurai Chanpurū)
Cowboy Bebop (Kaubōi Bibappu)
For some reason I only skimmed this show a few years ago but I never dully watched it. The name has always stuck out to me because of director Shinichirō Watanabe and his involvement with Space Dandy which is one of my all time favorites. Well I finally decided to watch the show and Mr… Continue reading Cowboy Bebop (Kaubōi Bibappu)
Terror in Resonance (Zankyō no Teroru)
Terror in Resonance is one that seems to have slipped under the radar. There could be several reasons for that. These days you don’t get a lot of thrillers due to the production committees not recognizing what people want. Instead that produce moe show after moe show which I guess is making them money but… Continue reading Terror in Resonance (Zankyō no Teroru)
Space Dandy (Supēsu Dandi)
I don’t know what it is about Space Dandy that drew me in but as soon as I saw the commercials on Adult Swim, I set my DVR and had to make sure I saw it the first time and then again later by DVR. Space Dandy was actually the first Shinichirō Watanabe show I… Continue reading Space Dandy (Supēsu Dandi)
My Graphic Novel Pitch
When Oni Press released the info for the open submissions, I was nowhere near ready. I had nothing at all done really. I wanted to get the game out first and then look into the novel part of this but it’s a great opportunity. If I can get my pitch straight and that may be… Continue reading My Graphic Novel Pitch
Cross Ange: Rondo of Angels and Dragons (Kurosu Anju Tenshi to Ryū no Rondo?)
Cross Ange’s subtitle had Dragons in it so I had to check it out. There really are dragons too, lots of them. Nice. Angelise is a princess who lives in a world with people who use Mana and those who don’t. Mana is the reason there is no war or pollution or so they’re lead… Continue reading Cross Ange: Rondo of Angels and Dragons (Kurosu Anju Tenshi to Ryū no Rondo?)
When Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace (Inō-Batoru wa Nichijō-kei no Naka de)
I kept waiting for those supernatural battles and well…they never came. Somehow a bunch of students have gained superpowers (this was not explained). Jurai and the rest of the literary club, plus 2 others come into superpowers and they are just learning about them and learning how to use them. The show circles around them… Continue reading When Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace (Inō-Batoru wa Nichijō-kei no Naka de)
Blue Exorcist: The Movie (Ao No Exorcist)
Blue Exorcist is a very good series, in my opinion. Shortly after the series ended, they greenlit this movie and a few OVAs which were included with the DVDs. This movie maintains the same art style and characteristics of the series. This is set some time in the future when compared to the series. It… Continue reading Blue Exorcist: The Movie (Ao No Exorcist)
World War Blue (Aoi Sekai no Chūshin de)
World War Blue is a look at the 90s console war between Nintendo and Sega. Alas poor Sega, we knew ye well. I guess you can call it a short 3 episode look at what the wars would be like if it was personified? Oh just work with me on this one. Can’t even come… Continue reading World War Blue (Aoi Sekai no Chūshin de)
