In addition to fan letters, news, dvd reviews and more, Anime Insider issue 49 has a number of strong features. Here’s a rundown (with my own comments in parenthesis):
- The Six Million Dollar Band – All-girl outfit Oreskaband travels from Japan to blow their own horns in an exclusive interview (we missed them at Anime Expo T_T)
- Tragic Ends – Ten series that flopped at the finish (watch out for spoilers if you haven’t seen the series)
- Number One With A Bullet – Everything you need to know about “Appleseed: Ex Machinaâ€, plus an exclusive interview with producer John Woo (I loved the first Appleseed!)
- Inside View – Enter the room of recluse Tatsuhiro Sato, pathetic star of the darkly funny “Welcome to the NHK†(yes, he’s totally pathetic, lol)
- Trick Or Treat – Halloween brings out the best and worst in anime stars (Halloween is almost here!)
- Shadowplay – The wait is over – “Karas†is back, and “The Revelation†starts here (yikes!)
- MW Manga Preview – Cold-blooded killers and guilty consciences clash in a forgotten Tezuka treasure(cool!)
For some reason, this particular issue was loaded with spoilers, so watch out!!!

I love anime. Specifically, series involving any of the following things: weird fantasy elements, super-powers, robots, aliens, wicked humor, crazy villains, horror, ninjas and samurai. I guess that means I like a lot of anime. I am pretty particular about the quality of animation and voice acting. If the character designs and animation quality aren't of über-quality, I quickly loose interest.The first anime-related series I ever watched was Battle of the Planets - otherwise known as Gatachman. The first true theatrical anime feature film I saw was Akira. My first exposure to manga was later in life when I read Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy.There are so many incredible elements of Japanese culture. Some of the most exciting to me are the style of design and storytelling. I'm a web designer & illustrator, and I find myself looking to Japanese design for inspiration all the time.Anime blogging has taught me even more about Japanese culture and anime than I ever expected, and I continue to learn more every week. In fact, I'd love to travel to Japan. Rachel and I hope to visit sometime within the next few years.
