OK, Three, Two, One Let’s JAM Project

Due to a combination of factors I missed out on going to Otakon in 2008 and therefore I missed the JAM Project concert. I regretted not going because it really did feel like I missed one of my very few opportunities to see JAM Project live. And JAM Project rocks pretty hard so it felt like a real loss especially considering how many positive reviews there were of the concert. But for Otakon’s 20th anniversary they decided to start pulling out all the stops even before 2013 by announcing the first Otakon Music Festival this year with three very special guests. The opening acts were Natsuko Aso and Faylan. I can’t say I really knew either singer apart from Faylan doing the opening to Canaan. But the headliner was obviously the band that would let me rectify my poor choice years ago.

All Points Bulletin: Play Misty for Me

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

Narutaki’s picks:

Hisui’s picks:

  • Organized Chaos

    • 36: Coincidentally just as Narutaki was talking about Bill Willingham’s Fables series on the Ani-Gamers podcast it seems that Chaos Theater had the same idea. WARNING: The Chaos Theater podcast is filled with major spoilers.
    • 37: A look at the films of Hayao Miyazaki. An examination of the good, the great, and the could have been better of his career. I think some of their opinions might be a little outside the norm but that is always interesting in of itself.
  • It Has to be Better than James Bond Jr.
    It has to? Right? A new otome game called British Detective Mysteria has a Victorian setting and a dashing young Sherlock Holes Jr. and Watson Jr. It might be interesting if it gets turned into an anime. It looks super cheesy but that never rules out being fun.
  • No Khal Drogo vs. Legolas?
    In classic Superman vs. the Flash fashion they ask George R.R. Martin who would win in a fight between some of his characters and Lord of the Rings characters. The nerd gloves come off.
  • Type-Moon News Round Up

    • A Deluge of News: Crunchyroll has news about Fate/EXTRA CCC, Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya, and new Fate/Zero figure all in one article.
    • Double Tapping the News: Silicon Era goes a little more in-depth about the new Fate/EXTRA CCC news.
    • Waiting is the Hardest Part: Aniplex is delaying the DVD release of the Garden of Sinners movies for a better release. At those prices they better do that.
    • Gilgamesh’s Zugzwang: More awesome Fate/Zero chess pieces.

Can’t resist more Trigun.
