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.
Looks promising wish I had this issue

How “great” (meaning how in-depth and how many pages) is it really? If it’s well written and researched, I may make the effort to check this issue out.
Darxc – It’s pretty good. Sometimes they re-post some of the articles on: http://www.wizarduniverse.com/anime.html
ncki – The Blu-ray article is about one and a half pages and is the first article in the magazine (just after the letters column).
Basically, it talks about how the quality will be better for shows that were produced in high-def, along with the added security measures to Blu-ray disks that make them harder to pirate.
