Reviews

Town of Evening Calm, Country of Cherry Blossoms

This title was one of the most compiling mangas that I’ve read this year. With simple artwork and great characters, this story will open your eyes to the true victims of war, that people continue to suffer even after wars are won or lost and that the human spirit is remarkably resilient. Fumiyo Kouno presents this amzing story so I’d ask that you at least see if your local library can order this in.

• Wikipedia entry on the book and film
• The actual bombings
• Yale Law School(not Yale Uni, as I had thought) report on the casualties
• Eyewitness testimony of the bombing

Emails

Here we talk about Chip who sent us in an email asking us where our favourite haunts for manga in Dublin are. SubCity is one good place. Forbidden Planet is another. We also explain why Easons sucks royally

We also talk about BitTorrent, AnimeSuki.com(I sure as hell not linking to it, google it your own damn self) and online websites such as Rightstuf, Anime Corner Store, and Amazon.com and why ordinary shops and stores like Tower are only good for sales and not much else. Here I illustrate the price differences between Ireland and the States:

• The Greatest Movie EVER Podcast
• Lather’s Blather Podcast
• Fast Karate For the Gentleman
• R5 Central

Finally here are the links to Tales From Earthsea at Yesasia.com: Hong Kong Version and Japanese version. Remember the Hong Kong Versions has the competition for the statue but the Japanese version has the English dub that I talked about.

Next time: Oni finally will talk about Negima?! and I’ll be looking at Secret of Cerulean Sand. We’ll talk about that the licenses announced this year mean for us.

Plus: next time we’ll be starting an experiment into what does the average 12 year old think about anime? Be here or be a Cosmic String Fragment
