The Live-Action Silver Spoon Lacks Heart and Soul
Last year, I chose Silver Spoon as one of the best five anime of 2013—so when I heard there was a live-action adaptation in the works, I was more than a little excited. Unfortunately, I am sad to report that the live-action film is devoid of much of what makes the Silver Spoon manga and…

UncategorizedTrue Detective Goes Really Well With… Looney Tunes
Who would have thought that pulling key dialogue from the first season of HBO’s True Detective (which ended last night) and matching it up with Looney Tunes, the results would be pretty neat.

Kotaku EastFilmed Footage That Can Be Controlled Like a Video Game
“Panomovie” is a 360-degree interactive panorama movie that allows viewers to look around via mouse or other interfaces. Kind of like a video game.

White Album 2 is One of Last Season’s Hidden Gems
Every season, despite my best efforts, there is a great anime that slips beneath my radar. Last fall, that anime was White Album 2—an excellently told romantic drama that isn’t afraid to stab you right in the emotions and then twist the knife just to be sure. [*Note: Despite being “White Album 2,” this is…

Does This Japanese Television Network Even Give a F**k?
Today is the third anniversary of Japan’s devastating earthquake and tsunami. At the moment the earthquake hit, at 2:46pm, Japanese television networks paused to remember the deceased.

Oh Goodness, Japan Is Getting Spaghetti Popsicles
You might be asking, why? Why spaghetti popsicles? But let’s ask another question: Why the heck not? Actually, no. Let’s just stay with why? Japan is no stranger to unusual ice cream flavors.
