Kuroko’s Passing Technique Seems Familiar

June 6, 2012

For anyone unfamiliar, Kuroko’s Basketball centers around a guy who has the ability to make uncanny passes to his teammates on the court. He is hyper-aware of where people are and where they are headed. Well, in the anime they like to depict this in the above stylized manner.

Whenever, I see Kuroko passing the basketball in said magical way, all I can think of is . . .

. . . Akira’s motorcycle light trails.

All Points Bulletin: Midorikawa Nao, The Windy City Detective

April 29, 2012

If you have any suggestions for what to highlight on an APB drop us a line via email or Twitter.

Narutaki’s picks:

  • Akira’s Climatic Scene, in LEGO
    If someone makes something I already really like out of LEGO, well then I’m probably just going to like that thing 10X more.
  • Really Weird New Anime Movie (Which I Never Heard About on Anime Sites)
    Cartoon Brew is generally my source for international animation and every once in a while they’ll have something anime news sites skip over or at least don’t highlight. The After School Midnighters is just such a case. Judging by the borderline lucid dream trailer and premise I can’t say I’m surprised many anime fans aren’t looking forward to it.
  • Brucie, You Got Some Splainin’ to Do
    Batman reveals how he learned his detective skills in this terrible issue from the 50′s. Chris recounts all the highlights while also explaining what works and doesn’t in an origin story.
  • Pokemon Fine Art Exhibit
    Two things you might not put together, but nevertheless this showing looks pretty interesting.

Hisui’s picks:

More Kaneda!

All Points Bulletin: Biker Mice From Mars

Narutaki’s picks:

  • Mind the Gap
    A preview of the upcoming mystery/supernatural comic has me plenty on board for its May debut. 
  • Who Needs Cable? The Birth of Online Animation Channels
    New distribution formats are popping up and the animation industry isn’t going to be left behind. With the appeal of Adult Swim and Comedy Central-like programing blocks, smaller animation groups are looking to make their money away from big networks.
  • Kaneda Rides Again . . . For Charity
    So once you build a totally badass replica of Kaneda’s bike from Akira, what do you do with it? Ride it everywhere of course! But if the prospect of your life being just a little bit cooler from seeing this bike zoom down the street wasn’t enough, the journey is raising awareness and funds for autism.

You should smile now that Fate/Zero is back:
