New Anime Magazine Launches!
The Day After
As I write this Japan is still experiencing the effect of aftershocks and bracing themselves for possible additional damage due top more tsunamis and their crisis with the nuclear reactor. But just like the fact the sun also rises the Japanese people will recover and things will go back to normal. That which is lost will be mourned, things that are broken will be fixed, and the maybe even some light will be shed on existing problems so they can be improved upon. It might seem trivial faced with such current events but I still think questions about the entertainment industry are relevant. My question is what sort and long-term impact will this tragedy have on the Japanese entertainment industry that we are fans of.
Mickey Mouse Pook-A-Looz
First of all you may be saying, what the heck are Pook-A-Looz anyway? Also I keep wondering if it is one Pook-A-Looz or is it one Pook-A-Loo and the plural is Pook-A-Looz? In any case, they are a fairly recent stylized line from Disney mainly focused in the plushie market but have expanded into being featured on all sorts of other merchandise, too. The signature is a rather squat design with an even simpler look incorporating flatness and geometric shapes. The stitching also adds a nice touch. And even with the cool design, Mickey is still meant to be played with by kids; he is soft and squishy like a good plushie should be. There are a vast array of characters from classic Disney to The Muppets so there is no doubt I’ll be adding a few more to my collection soon.
