Anime Fans Take Center Stage In "Otaku: The Series"

Thursday, September 23rd, 2010

Otaku The Series Banner

When it comes to the portrayal of anime fans in the entertainment world, there's not much to find. Yes, there are snippets here and there in The Big Bang Theory, and there was that one episode of 30 Rock where James Franco was in love with an anime body pillow, but in the long run there hasn't been a single show that focused directly on people who liked Japanese animation. Fortunately Goldie Chan wants to change that with her new web show Otaku: The Series.

"Maid Sama!" Serves Up A Love Comedy For All

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

I'll admit that I've been quite skeptical of the anime world, no thanks in part to the amount of drivel that I had to watch last year. In the beginning of the year I was "tricked" into watching Ladies VS Butlers, a show with no plotline, useless fan-service and a vast amount of drivel that would even make a zombie blow its own head off. When I first got wind of Maid Sama! (or Kaichou wa Maid-Sama! as it's known in Japan) I didn't feel like being swindled yet again to watch a series that, on the surface, looked as if it'd be another lame-ass attempt at doing moé shenanigans with little-to-no texture to it. What a surprise: I turned out to really like this show.

"Zetsubou-Sensei" Season Three Leaves Viewers in Despair

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

Pity must be given to the Japanese viewers who watch the recent season of Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei without a DVR player. There are so many hidden gags in the show that if they blink they’ll probably miss at least ten of them. In this case, that’s not a good thing.

"Kannagi" Filled With Many Laughs

Kannagi

Bandai Entertaiment recently announced the release of "Kannagi: Crazy Shrine Maidens" just one day before was released on DVD here in America.  The real question, though, is if it's any good.
