Fighting will get you the girl. Or stuffing her in a barrel. Whichever works for you.
This time round we are looking at the classic manga Apollo’s Song
Reviews
Apollo’s Song
What’s an Apollo’s song? In a shell an Osamu Tezuka story full of deep inner meaning, self denial and oddly placed humour. Shogo (Apollo) is cursed by the goddess of love, Aphrodite, as a penance towards his cruel and cold hearted approach to love. Shogo is given a couple of chances, during various times thorough human history, to experience real love but because of the curse is destined to lose that love every single time. The story its self is well crafted and enjoyable apart from the unusually placed “fourth wall” comedy moments. If you find it, add it to your collection , it does appeal to a broader audience then most current publications.

When all is said and done (Or when the dust settles)
It’s about time we had a riot.
Well probably not a riot, but time we returned to podcasting. After being away for a shameless amount of time we have gotten out act together and started recording! Yay !
Listen to more from this site soon!
Actually that’s kind of redundant….

Posted by eeeper in conventions, updates on Sunday, October 19, 2008
Eeeper’s Choice will be at EirtaKon in Dublin City University November 14-16. Come along and see us. I’ll be running (I think) the fan culture panel so come and see me make an ass of myself. Tickets are €12 for one day and €18 for the weekend. More details can be found here.
The show’s in a hiatus status at the moment. I’ve to re-record some audio before I can post the next show. After that, hey it’s plain sailing. To all who are still subscribed, thanks for sticking with us.
