This virtual panel is presented in partnership with Funimation.
Anime has grown by leaps and bounds over the past decade as it’s progressively evolved from a niche interest into mainstream entertainment. There are now more places than ever to consume anime, whether it’s on broadcast television or any of the available streaming services, some of which are devoted entirely to anime content.
It’s truly exciting to see the medium’s continued success, but part of the reason that it’s found such universal acclaim is because often anime is just as concerned about representation as it is with entertainment. Anime doesn’t just speak to everyone, but specifically highlights those that may get overlooked elsewhere and feel like their voices are diminished.

(Anime Limited goes crazy pimping, part II...) Glasgow-based distributor Anime Limited released three royally decorated Blu-ray boxes this week, and we're covering all of them. Yesterday saw the pretty wooden box of the Miss Hokusai release, tomorrow we'll look at Fullmetal Alchemist, but today we check out The Vision of Escaflowne. One of the classic anime series of the nineties, The Vision of Escaflowne is a great mish-mash of genres, starting as a teen school romance before plunging into fantasy, and evolving into hardcore science fiction. I mean, steam-punk flying dragon harnesses? Whoa! However, the mish-mash turned out great, helped by great characters, great design, excellent music, and prudent use of those newfangled-yet-pretty (at the time) cgi techniques. To this day, the series has a...

First short trailer for the upcoming anime series Sakamichi no Apollon (Kids on the Slope) from Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo director Shinichiro Watanabe. Judging from the trailer the series focuses on Jazz music (and maybe some boys love), so I’m glad to report that Yoko Kanno (GitS:sac, Cowboy Bebop, Escaflowne…) will be responsible for the music.
The series will start airing in Japan in April.
Synopsis:
Summer, 1966. Kaoru Nishimi has moved to live with relatives in Kyushu. He’s been an aloof honor student his whole life, but that starts changing when he meets Sentarou Kawabuchi, the school’s notorious bad boy. Through him, he learns the appeal of jazz and forms his first real friendships.

Yup, another contest just for my German readers. Sorry…
Am zweiten Tag gibt es Escaflowne: The Movie in der feinen Us Ultimate Edition abzustauben. Das Set im Schuber und Pappbox enthält neben dem Hauptfilm eine Bonus DVD sowie den grenzgenialen Soundtrack von Hajime Mizoguchi und Yoko Kanno.
Ein einfacher Kommentar bis Mitternacht (Serverzeit) reicht heute zum mitmachen aus. Wer will kann aber auch gerne versuchen zu erklären, warum die Figuren in der Vision of Escaflowne TV Serie und der Filmversion unterschiedliche Nasen haben…
