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.
It’s good to stop by a while and get updated on the anime world.
Yes!!! At last! We get the next Miyazaki film!! I’ve heard some good things about this film already and I’m glad we’re finally getting out hands on it. There’s a few rumours going around that this is Miyazaki-sama’s last film… T-T It looks AMAZING!!!! At any rate Miyazaki’s films are always really great. It shows one of the more serious sides of anime and that it’s not just a cartoon. The fact that he can create an entire worlds out of thin air, or create a story about a goldfish… A GOLDFISH! I mean… Wow! That’s what I call amazing! It’s no wonder he’s considered the god of anime!
Can’t wait, seriously!!

I’ve heard great things about Ponyo too. And I totally agree – Miyazaki’s films are always amazingly great!
That’s several months of difference from the original Japanese screening. Still going to be a long wait.
It will be a long wait until Ponyo’s release on August 14, 2008, but at least we’ll get to see it in theaters!
