AniMaybe: The Golden Ani-Versary of Anime: Full Blog Panic!
http://animaybe.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-golden-ani-versary-of-anime-full.html
Monday, November 19, 2012. The Golden Ani-Versary of Anime: Full Blog Panic! You've got me wondering, Japan. You got Tatsunoko Productions to celebrate their 50th anniversary six months before their actual 50th anniversary, but we still haven't seen a. 50th anniversary anime poster yet? No matter. Tatsunoko's 50th is good enough for me. Regardless, the outpouring of support for the Golden Ani-Versary of Anime. So let's get down to business. All done in the span of 24 hours? Once the calendar flips to 201...

AniMaybe: Golden Ani-Versary of Anime: HOMEWORK TIME
http://animaybe.blogspot.com/2012/11/golden-ani-versary-of-anime-homework.html
Saturday, November 24, 2012. Golden Ani-Versary of Anime: HOMEWORK TIME. Now, it's time to.you know.do actual homework. A project this big is going to need some standards. As the editor for this project, I've been debating many different aspects for our essays. After a few questions to the Tweeting public (and a mechanical pencil to the palm to get my thought process moving), I think we've come up with a general rubric for the blog's entries. Some people just don't DO rankings. As the blog editor, I will...

Retrospective - persona 3. 8220; What if I told you that there are more than 24 hours in a day? But why did Persona 3 capture the imagination? Author's Note: In Persona 3 Portable, if you play the female protagonist, the story is a bit different in that she seems to have more of a connection to life.). And in the end? In the end, there is a sacrifice, but the sacrifice is meaningful because of the very journey it took to get there: and it helps to show the value of each of our lives. Kill La Kill ( キルラキル...

study of anime: of kami and yokai: shinto anime of 2013
http://www.studyofanime.com/2013/12/of-kami-and-yokai-shinto-anime-of-2013.html
Of kami and yokai: shinto anime of 2013. Mention Shinto to the same Westerner, and you might receive a shrug or a “I’ve never heard of that, is it a food? Likewise, many of the legends and figures found within Shinto are frequently themselves relegated to storytelling devices, or symbolic entities that serve solely to advance plot or storytelling, without a care given to their histories. We hear of the sun goddess, but do we really know much about her? While the mythology itself splits off towards the en...

study of anime: ramblings on digital life and death, in second life
http://www.studyofanime.com/2015/06/ramblings-on-digital-life-and-death-in.html
Ramblings on digital life and death, in second life. Earlier this year, I received the news that a member of the steampunk community in Second Life had passed away; the typist (i.e., the person behind the avatar) had declined and passed away due to a form of cancer. I did not go to the funeral. There was a memorial service in Second Life, also. I did not go to that, either. But what is it to mourn someone whom we know from a game? People interact all the time in massive multiplayer settings: from World o...

study of anime: Toy Story 3: The Best Miyazaki Movie He Never Made
http://www.studyofanime.com/2010/06/toy-story-3-best-miyazaki-movie-he.html
Toy Story 3: The Best Miyazaki Movie He Never Made. I had expected to see a film with a flashy look to it, and a little story thrown in to justify the new technologies at work. I left with a modern fable about friendship, discovering one’s own identity and the chance to see the world through the eyes of a toy. Needless to say, it changed my life. December 10, 2010 at 10:27 AM. The comparisons to Ghibli films you made are right on the dot, also. Ahhh.I LOVED THIS MOVIE! July 31, 2013 at 3:55 AM. Courtesy ...
