Scarlett Johansson will be leading an action film where she will kick all sorts of ass, but it won’t be as Black Widow. A beloved manga series is coming to the Western world as a live-action film with ScarJo starring in Ghost in the Shell. Ghost in the Shell was originally released as a manga…

Manga and Its Importance

0

By Michael Wolff on Oct 26th, 2014

A manga is, for lack of a better term, a Japanese comic book. And believe it or not, it is a key element of Japanese society. It’s not just for kids. There are thousands of genres and stories, ranging from prisoners to mailmen and everything in-between. It may be hard to believe, but manga allows…

By B.K. on Jul 22nd, 2014

The Show:  Knights of Sidonia’s main claim to fame is that it is the first anime series to be broadcasted in America exclusively by Netflix. Despite what the phrase “A Netflix Original Series” may make one assume, Knights of Sidonia (Shidonia no Kishi) is based on a manga originally published in Kodansha’s Afternoon magazine. The series…

Hisae Iwaoka’s Quietly Poignant Saturn Apartments

0

By B.K. on Jun 18th, 2014

The manga Saturn Apartments is a great example of a story in a rather small genre: slice of life in space. This means that so far nothing has blown up, nobody has flown at the speed of light, and there are no laser guns. But that shouldn’t indicate by any means that the story isn’t…

Akira: The Ultimate Energy

0

By Keyoka on Mar 31st, 2014

For years, I have been feeling the steam of Katsuhiro Otomo’s Akira, but I’ve never seen the fire. Akira is the 1988 animated film adaptation of the eponymous manga. The show is set in a dystopian Neo-Tokyo where gangs, violence, and anti-government groups have become the norm. The government is corrupted by money and police…

5 Unforgettable Battle Pairings in Tite Kubo’s ‘Bleach’

By Shirayuki on May 26th, 2013

After reading the latest chapter from the Bleach manga series, the outburst of sheer fighting launched me into the past where the first crossing of blades began. Dating all the way back to Kurosaki Ichigo’s first encounter with soul reaper Kuchiki Rukia, how can we forget the arc that started it all? No doubt the…

By Lynceus on Oct 25th, 2012

Ah, obscurity. That delightful property that allows you to feel vaguely superior for liking certain things because, hey, at least you had to go out of your way. And so let’s break in this series with a manga that really nobody has heard of, Hitoshi Ashinano’s Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou! Can’t pronounce that title? Not to…

  As a Bleach fan for more than six years, I can’t help but revisit certain chapters that put both my emotions and logic to the test. Regardless of being just a Japanese manga series, it comes as no surprise that this particular fandom has garnered a magnificent fan base that constantly praise or threaten…

By Vulcon on Jul 9th, 2012

Vampire Knight is a manga written and drawn by Matsuri Hino.  It originally premiered in 2005 and is currently on-going.  It is a fantastical piece of shojo manga, although a two season 26 episode anime version has been made as well. First off, Matsuri Hino’s art is fantastic.  Her style is very pretty to look…

By Shirayuki on Jun 22nd, 2012

For those of us who have long followed the manga as well as the recently suspended anime series, it is safe to say that Tite Kubo’s Bleach is a fantastical series worthy of your attention. Revolving around the adventures of substitute Soul Reaper (?? Shinigami) Kurosaki Ichigo, we are launched into two worlds that separate…
