Revival

I've been watching a ton of anime recently. Captain Harlock(hulu), Gundam(original story arc stuff on DVD), Dougram, Votoms(DVD), Ideon(DVD) and the revised Full Metal Alchemist series is in my NetFlix cue. I loved the original FMA, other than the epilogue at the end of the series and the movie...it felt cheap after the intense drama of the series.

That didn't change the fact that FMA and Gurren Laggan were the stand out TV series of the 1st decade stretch of century double 0 for me ^_^

So much of anime and Japanese art has become saccharin in the past few years...I wonder if the quakes will change that? No people can go through such a catastrophe without some kind of catharsis. I know for myself, after 9/11, my work changed quite a bit. Actually, I didn't even know what to make after 9/11...that took a few years to figure out.

Pre 9/11 I was writing a series of short stories called "Sawtooth". After 9/11...I paused those stories and that's when BPRE was born. In the past few months, I've had a few ideas for a robot "war film" style anime. Maybe once I finish this next book in the BPRE universe, I'll finally be able to work on some science fiction stuff again.

    Hey Jon, hope I'm not a bother but I somehow missed wind of HH reissuing Inalienable Dreamless; any chance you know where I could score one? It's a sad thing to miss out on the record that started me collecting records.

    Just got back from a rather extended work trip. Have been incommunicado so sorry for the delayed reply. To answer your question, I have no idea. I think there was a list of stores that picked up the re-issue for Record Shop Day last week on the Hydrahead blog but don't quote me. Up to my neck in busy at the moment ^_^;
