Here’s a little bit of Monday fun: Tetsujin 28, one of the original series featuring a little boy who controls a robot might be getting the CG feature film treatment from Imagi Entertainment! They’re the ones who are producing both Astroboy and Gatchaman (as CG feature films). They’ve got a website up, along with some test animation. According to the always awesome TwitchFilm (also via Felixip’s Blog), the footage is to help get the film green-lit by investors. You can watch the teaser below!
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.
