Okay, so here’s the panel in video in 6 parts. It’s an hour long, so be ready for some time. It takes a couple of minutes to get started and it only progressively gets better. Also the last five minutes were cut off from the tape running out, but they can basically be summarized as ‘GIANT ROBO IS AMAZING’. Anywho, lets go.

I didn’t manage to do daily blogging of either of my Otakon trips simply because I was so busy on those days that I never had the chance. For Nekocon, I’m not only less busy, but it’s close enough to my house that I am not staying in a hotel, so I can comfortably blog it from my home. Also, there’s the fact that there’s not a whole lot to say about this con! For our fifth series, we have another beloved cult hit, the 2005 anime Kamichu!, which is one of the coolest slice-of-life-shows around, as well as one of the most well-animated shows of the decade. Let’s have a look! Simoun is one of the most recent anime we’ll be talking about here, having aired in 2006 in Japan and been released between November 07 and 08 here in the states by Media Blasters. In my opinion, and in the opinion of many of the people who’ve seen it, Simoun deserves to be called one of the greatest anime of our decade. Let’s check it out! This is The SoulTaker, which has my favorite opening song ever. It’s a show about a guy named Kyousuke Date who starts the show off by getting knifed in the heart by his own mother as she dies on the steps of a church – so it’s some pretty bleak stuff right off the bat! Kyousuke seems to have died and is buried, but some time after his death, a mysterious girl digs up his grave and, lo-and-behold, he’s alive. There seem to be a lot of strange forces after him, though, like mad cyborg doctors, a guy who acts like Wolfwood from Trigun, and a little pink-haired magical girl who carries a giant syringe. Our idea is “Released and Relinquished.” We will talk about great shows that were released on DVD in the US only to be totally ignored. Some are shows that faded from attention fast, and some are shows that posted such miserable sales that you can still find copies everywhere simply because no one can get rid of the stock! Our guidelines for choices were that the shows didn’t do well in sales, but are still easily findable, if at least on Amazon. |
