Welcome back! I hope you're ready to digest another list of recommended titles, as I've been encouraged to break away from the basic themes of my job description and look away from anime and manga whenever I feel appropriate. So, I've chosen to take this week to elaborate on a personal favorite genre of film, one that has always dwelt in relative obscurity

Tokyopop, America’s biggest manga publishing company, is gone. We have no reassurance as to who will take over all of their old titles. But there’s a silver lining amidst these storm-clouds.
With a titan like Tokyopop gone, the smaller publishing companies get the chance to shine.

Being part of the staff here at 91.8 The Fan is a seriously great thing. It’s rewarding in so many different ways I can’t even count them all. However, there is one benefit in my mind that reigns supreme above all others. By being part of 91.8 The Fan, I get to call myself a comrade of Kroze.

Welcome back to the rafters! As a patriotic American citizen I feel obligated to do something special for the week of the 4th of July. I considered doing a review of some of the various American cartoons inspired by anime, OEL manga, and similar web-comics, but upon second consideration I found a much better subject to cover: Stan Lee.

Tempest wasn't the only Fan writer to interview a cool person at a convention. I went to AnimeNEXT 2011 too you know! I even interviewed someone there! He's known as Chipocrite and he's really cool too! I totally sat down with him somewhere and asked him good questions with deep meanings. Those questions, along with his answers, are here for your reading pleasure.

Howdy, and welcome to a slightly different edition of The Owl in the Rafters. Today I'm going to be reviewing a series of video games which I've had something of a personal affair with since the series first sneaked onto the Nintendo DS in '07: the three-part Etrian Odyssey series.

Tempest here and I got to interview the very handsome Takamasa Sakurai and Kanon. Both were wearing the most incredibly frilly clothes -- they looked like they stepped out of a twisted Steampunk convention that could only be held in Japan.

After complaining so much about recycled plots, I think we should take a deeper look into this phenomenon. After all, anyone who has taken a high school English class should know that every type of story, and thereby every type of character, has already been used. The trick is in making it appeal to the audience.
