Does anyone know about that Speed Racer show that's coming to Nicktoons Network? It's a stupid cartoon that's trying to be anime! I know the creators of the original Speed Racer are pissed off! I saw this special they had and they showed one of the artist and he's totally a black guy! ZOMG! Is Speed going to be talking gangsta now? Is he going to rob from the other racers?

Because all black guys talk "gangsta and rob from others"?

Way to buy into some good stereotypes. Rolling Eyes

They all talk gangsta in movies and rap songs and this morning there was a news story where a black guy robbed someone!

Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom Anime Film Review

Sep 20, 15:00 anime

There's a reason that this is one of the series' most popular arcs and the film captures the story's essence expertly—even if a bit too much was left on the cutting room floor. ― One of the most interesting choices that came from adapting Overlord IV is that the series skipped an entire arc—two entire light novels worth of story. This left an odd gap between episodes seven and eight of that series—wh...

Reynatis is a high-flying action RPG that stands on its own, but it has a rather shaky stance. ― Reynatis is a high-flying action RPG that, to its credit, has a solid identity and visual aesthetic. A lot of comparisons have been drawn between it and Kingdom Hearts, and while they're not uncalled for, it's worth pointing out that about all Reynatis has in common with Kingdom Hearts is a teenaged prota...

Hayao Miyazaki and the Heron Documentary Review

Astro Note is yet another argument for bringing back longer anime seasons, instead of twelve episodes being the norm. ― If you're an English-speaking anime or manga fan of a certain age, there's a good chance that you got into the medium through the work of Rumiko Takahashi.
