AnimeNEXT 2011: The NEXT are not only in Sternbild City

4 Comments

Just as a heads up for everyone in the Tri-State area we will be attending AnimeNEXT 2011 this year as both press and panelists for all three days. Hisui will be appearing on five panels this year and Narutaki will be on three so you can see the Reverse Thieves every day of the convention if it so pleases you. The big Japanese guest for us this year will be Satoru Nakamura, who is another amazing Production I.G guest following up last year’s Kenji Kamiyama. If anyone has questions for him just leave a comment and we will be sure to ask at one of his panels.

We recorded a micro-podcast (less than 12-minutes long) detailing our plans in case you don’t feel like reading this post.

Bonus Round – Cat Scratch Fever

Leave a comment

In our newest contribution for the Bonus Round on Anime3000, we look at the first half of the 2009 Satelight show, the Guin Saga. An adaption of a classic Japanese fantasy series that ran for over a 130 volumes by scarily prolific author Kaoru Kurimoto. Guin Saga is the story of Guin a man with amnesia who is trapped in a leopard mask that helps the prince and princess of a fallen country as he tries to regain his lost memories. But as the Mongauli army peruses them they are forced deeper into the cursed land of Nospherus. We clearly enjoyed the books but how does the anime stack up? As a bonus we also have a dramatic reader from a “lost” book in the series. As a bonus besides your normal Thieves we have Otaku USA’s Caleb Dunaway as Remus, Patz from Insert-Disc as Istavan, and Carl Li from Ogiue Maniax as the narrator.

Bonus Round – The Amazing Rosetta & Chums Circus

2 Comments

In our newest contribution for the Bonus Round on Anime3000, we look at Kaleido Star Season 1. In a miracle of miracles it seems that Studio Gonzo is able to hit one out of the park on occasion. The 2003 show is about a young girl’s struggle to become a circus star in the competitive and glamorous world of the Kaleido Stage. She is told by the mysterious spirit of the stage that she has the potential to perform the legendary maneuver but she will have to overcome some harsh shojo sports training before she is ready. As well as the review there is a little commercial before the main event for an amazing new Anime 3000 production. I hope you will enjoy it whenever it comes to your town. It is almost too good to be true.
