Needless to say, going to LA for an anime convention has probably been the strangest thing I’ve ever done. And yet, I don’t actually regret it. I was able to talk to a lot of people, even meet up with a writer (which you can hear all about in this sleep-deprived podcast), and get on a plane.
Let us never speak of Thursday’s plane ride ever again.
But aside from that, it was interesting, that is for sure. Whether I’ll go back to AX next year…I guess we’ll see! Anyways, there’s been some interesting reads in the past couple weeks that I missed out on. Welp, now you’ll get to read what I enjoyed!
- This post on SNAFU made me want to read Catcher in The Rye again…assuming I can find my old copy.
- While at AX I was able to meet Anime Instrumentality himself, zzeroparticle. While he was there, he checked out IA’s concert. He was very impressed.
- Tony covers one of the more interesting arcs in Gintama, and it has everything to do with genderbending. Oh, and how it actually relates to the current life today.
- Congrats to the Reverse Thieves for being REALLY old. (In all seriousness, congrats Alain, Kate!)
- Remember Little Witch Academia? Here’s some thoughts on its sequel!
- Just looking at that image in the Sailor Moon Crystal critique video makes me very, very sad.
- In case you don’t know, Kodansha made some announcements at Anime Expo. Because they could.
- Finally, this is great news for those who want to see the original Yu-Gi-Oh! without 4kids branding.
