What is " Shingeki no Kyojin "? What is the allure of the series? I was asked on Facebook today, and I was at a loss to explain the series, and instead offered " they are not your typical japanese anime with absolutely no intentional cuteness or kawaii involved, and the show is pretty bleak too. People get eaten and blood is spilt quite often too! … (tis a ) parallel earth with medieval undertones mixed in with steampunk-ish tech maybe? " - and I don't think I hit the mark 100%, but perhaps I should first introduce the story which seems to have folks in a grip these days, fascinatingly so … WHAT: The manga series " Shingeki no Kyojin " (also known as " Attack On Titan ") began its serialization in Kodansha's monthly publication Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine (circa September 2009). And it has since been adapted into an anime television series produced by Wit Studio (debuted on April 6, 2013 on MBS, directed by Tetsurō Araki) currently on...

BLADE RUNNER BLACK OUT 2022 - Anime Prequel to #BladeRunner2049 - Directed by Shinichiro Watanabe
"In 2022, an EMP detonation has caused a global blackout that has massive, destructive implications all over the world. Directed by Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo's Shinichiro Watanabe, Blade Runner Black Out 2022 is a new and highly-anticipated animated short which serves as a prologue for the upcoming feature film Blade Runner 2049." Remember that third “prequel” short film for “ Blade Runner 2049 ” - commissioned by director Denis Villeneuve we have been waiting for? And that “ Blade Runner Anime ” announced not too long ago? Turns out they are ONE AND THE SAME! The third prequel short (to come after Luke Scott ’s “2036: Nexus Dawn” and “2048: Nowhere to Run”) IS the anime, directed by Shinichiro Watanabe (“Cowboy Bebop”, “Samurai Champloo”)! Featuring over 15 minutes of replicants gone rogue, this is pretty darn swell hype leading up to the film’s premiere on October 6th, 2017 in the USA, and on October 5th in Singapore.

In-between sniffles & manic-coughing, I watched as "Junk Dog" become "Gearless Joe", and "Team Nowhere" battle their way thru to reach … well, that’ll be giving way too much innit? And no, of course it wouldn't be THAT easy for the team, innit? (Random screen-snaps featured here / Official website: megalobox.com ) So far into at Ep9, this has indeed a schweet ride for this incarnation of " Ashita no Joe ", celebrating its 50th anniversary of the manga! FIFTIETH! The muted color palette, the old-skool illustration analog aesthetics, the verve and tone of this anime really helps bring back the nostalgic 70s, alongside a soundscape echoing "Samurai Champloo" & "Tokyo Tribe2" hiphop of the early-2000s, and that rock-kabilly opening track (scroll down to listen) ... at least ...
