We post a new poll related to anime and Japanese culture every Friday!
After watching Volume Four of Glass Fleet, I asked myself, “Why did this anime get made, let alone licensed?” I mean really, with the huge amount of intriguing anime not getting licensed in the US, how did this squeak through? The studio could have licensed almost anything, and I guarantee it would have been better [...]
Last week we heard a rumor Leonardo DiCaprio, that heartthrob of the silver screen, may be the man playing the troubled Kaneda in Warner Brother’s live action adaptation of the iconic manga turned anime, Akira.
