A ranking of the most beautifully illustrated and animated anime highlights some of the most sumptuous and aesthetically pleasing titles Japanese animation has to offer.
The mechanical counterpart to the periodic table of anime characters has emerged – the Periodic Table of Giant Robots, cataloguing most if not all of the impressive yet totally impractical mecha which are to to modern Japanese conceptions of manliness what gun-toting beefcakes are to American aesthetics.
Wheres my Gunmen!!... More
Well, if you want to get into details, humans are biological robots in a sense... And most of the series they are depicted as "machines" so I don't think it matters... Not to mention, READ... More
Newly airing anime Level E has the distinction of being one of the few recent series not to focus almost solely on schoolgirls – and viewers are acclaiming it as one of the best of the season.
Classic “cyber SF western” anime Trigun is set to return with a theatrical anime in the spring of 2010.
Seeing his works in detail, I thought it might be interesting to pick them up; these images are by Kuratch, a Hokkaido based artist with a background in design and an interest in SF, both of which come through strongly in his art.
Having just begun to air, ケメコデラックス! / Kemeko Deluxe: The Unknown Girlfriend, based on a popular manga, is an anime which is hard to describe, but to put it inelegantly, it is an ecchi school romance comedy SF betrothal battle anime.
At its heart, I would say it is a surreal comedy in the vein of Hare+Guu, with all the additional elements piled on top. It is as hard to evaluate as it is to describe…
Good job demonstrating the change of overall tone and atmosphere Sankaku went through over the last 12 months >_> I miss these kinds of articles. Sankaku lacks the personal touch these days. Though I can understand... More
I disagree, this show was shit in all aspects, makes me wish i could kill the writers.... More
A TV anime adaptation of sci-fi novel Shangri-La has been announced. Perhaps most notably, the art design will be provided by the great 村田蓮爾 / Range Murata, so that alone should be interesting to see.
murata+gonzo=win blue sub no6 and last exile were both really good. hopefully this won't be another mardock scramble... More
Gonzo has some decent animation lately (Druaga, Blassreiter), and since they won't get that much power to alter the story (seeing as there's already one) I think it should turn out well.... More
Shame their budget or venue wouldn’t stretch to 1:1 on this model. This is part of promotional efforts for the upcoming (August 2nd) theatrical release of スカイ・クロラ The Sky Crawlers, an adaptation of a popular SF novel series, being directed by Ghost in the Shell luminary 押井守 / Mamoru Oshii, and animated by Production IG. The release coincides with the release of the Ghost in the Shell remaster/renewal.
This movie sucks ! the story is so dense, i lost a few iqs after watching, my main reason to buy it was the aereal scenes, they were good, but very few and very short,... More
Hmmmm I don't know, Last Exile was pretty sweet. But then ever since strike witches I've been craving more aerial combat anime. This looks very promising!... More
Air dates for upcoming SF anime タイタニア / Tytania have been released by NHK; the anime is an adaptation of highly acclaimed author 田中芳樹 / Yoshiki Tanaka’s space opera novels of the same name, and so at least has promising source material. His other notable works include 銀河英雄伝説 / Legend of the Galactic Heroes and アルスラーン戦記 / Arslan Senki.
Air details are that it is set to air on NHK BS2 at 23:32 each Thursday, starting in October.
Visual details of the anime seem a little scarce at moment (in fact completely absent), so we’ll just have to wait and see how it turns out.
Looks kinda cool. For some reason it's reminiscent, for me at least, of the first Gundam series' artwork.... More
