Gundam adaptation gets adaptation?
ANN
So the Yoshikazu Yasuhiko Gundam manga adaptation of Yoshiyuki Tomino’s Gundam anime is getting an anime……
This seems like a realy shady way to get around remaking the original Gundam, since I’m pretty sure Tomino will never die.
I actually really like the manga, Yoshikazu Yasuhiko who draws it, also directed the 3 original Gundam compilation movies, one of the...
Black Jack remakes
Black Jack is getting another manga series….. I always get scared when they do this. Anime news network
Now to get this out of the way, Black Jack is probably my all-time favorite manga, I don’t like to say absolute favorites, but if I had to pick one that would be my stock favorite.
Much like Tezuka’s other works, it’s deceptively complex, and as a result the characters are difficult to get...
Ringing bell (Chirin no Suzu)
What do you think of when you hear Sanrio? Hello Kitty right? Maybe some cool people out there remember the Unico movies, because of Tezuka’s involvement. I think much like the marketing of Walt Disney pictures, we think of these things like cute children icons, while being fashionable to boot.

Robot Carnival
One thing that I love about anime is its diversity, it range in style in both visuals and the stories it can tell, unlike what tokyopop would like you to believe anime is diverse. Nothing helps represent this fact then anthology pieces, things like memories, neo Tokyo, Genius Party, and of course my favorite Robot Carnival.
Robot Carnival is a collection of short films...

Giant Robo the animation The day the earth stood...
Yasuhiro Imagawa is one of the strangest anime directors working today, the thing most anime fans seen by him was G Gundam, a very ironic enjoyment for most fans, G Gundam is goofy because its Gundam portrayed as a super robot series, but for my money it dealt with character just as much as Zeta Gundam. He also did a remake of Gigantor, Tetsujin 28, released by the now late Geneon...
