 Kate’s picks:

• Could Anime Win Another Oscar This Year?
  Cartoon Brew discusses some of the potential upsets for the Oscars which include When Marine Was There and The Boy and the Beast.
• Not All YA Looks Alike
  A list of some of the most beautiful covers from 2015.

 Alain’s picks:

• The Legend of the Galactic Heroes Narrator Loves Spoilers
  Episodes 44-48 is not the last time he will give away major plot points.
• The Science of Listicles
  If nothing else it is probably worth knowing why they are so effective at grabbing people’s attention.
• No. Serious. Watch This.
  I had never heard about Sesame Credit before this video but it is legitimately scary. It is amazingly insidious and shows how the soft hand of a totalitarian regime is far more effective than violent crackdowns.
• On a Lighter Note
  Yuusuke Murata has a rather lighthearted look at the criticisms of the One Punch Man anime.

I’m dying to see this movie!

 Alain’s picks:

• I Assume Hell Comes to Frogtown is the Next Delve Review
  All Geeks Considered looks at the Rowdy Roddy Piper cult classic. You know which one I am talking about. The one with the glasses and the fight scene.
• So Many Roman Ordinances About Throwing Excrement out the Window
  Thank Goodness for the Sanitation Movement. Cloaca Maxima alone was not enough.
• I Was Never Infected with the Proper Grammar Bug
  I am curious how much people who speak multiple languages feel it changes the way they think.
• The Hidden Information Buried Within in a Destiny Written in Blood
  I have to say I am rather impressed how much information is packed into the Jojo’s openings when you break them down.
  Random side note: I feel that JoJo Sono Chi no Kioku ~end of THE WORLD~ really grows on you after awhile.
  • Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency
  • Both Stardust Crusaders Opening

  Kate’s picks

• Best Animated Film of 2016
  I’m making my bets now. I can’t wait for Kubo and the Two Strings! Laika’s latest stop-motion production looks incredible from the teaser, and they haven’t let us down yet.

 I’m holding the Diamond is Unbreakable opening to the same high standards:

 Kate’s picks:

• Genndy Tartakovsky Returns to Cartoon Network
  And is working on more Samurai Jack. YES YOU HEARD THAT RIGHT MORE SAMURAI JACK!
• You Don’t Have to Write a Trilogy
  2015 stand-alone fantasy books!

 Alain’s picks:

• The Italian Iceman
  He is not the inventor of spumoni ice. He is instead a full preserved 5,000 year old corpse. The amount that they were able to learn about him is simply amazing.
• Spoilers: Don’t Mix Feces and Drinking Water
  Who could have ever guessed that was a good idea?
• The Secrets of the Supply Chain
  Where exactly do consoles come from? They are not formed when a mommy and daddy game system love each other very much.
• A Tale of Tomo and Yomi
  Two podcasts have decided that Azumanga Diaoh needs to return to the proper spotlight it once had.
  • The Yomi Podcast: Correction – You can pick a favorite character in Azumanga Diaoh. That character is either Sakaki or Mr. Tadakichi.
  • The Tomo Podcast: You just can’t pick Tomo. Remember Tomo is THE DEVIL.

Not a combination I was expecting, but what the heck! Yay Samurai Jack!
