Otaku Evolution Episode 80 – Lupin III: The Columbus Files

Time to look at those robbery rascals, those lavish larcenists, the Lupin gang, with the TV special, 1999’s The Columbus Files (originally Love’s Da Capo: Fujiko’s Unlucky Days)! Honestly, it’s not Lupin III’s finest hour. Or Fujiko’s. Or director Shinichi Watanabe’s. To say the least!

Otaku Evolution Episode 79 – Running Man (Neo Tokyo)

Yeah, yeah, it’s a really short episode. I have a lot to do this time of year, between regular episodes, the Christmas episode (now in production), and the end-of-year English dub review episode. So I thought I’d give myself a soft ball by only reviewing the Kawajiri part of Neo Tokyo, the Running Man portion! Shit, I didn’t even include a LSS commercial (gotta work on a new one for Christmas). Well, this one is pretty succinct and clever, so watch it, enjoy it, share it, and such. read more

Otaku Evolution Episode 78 – Cyber City Oedo 808

A trio of troublesome terrorists are bound by law (and bomb collars) to apprehend criminals and uphold justice in a future near dystopia where the military uses citizens as test subjects and cyborg sabertooth tigers stalk in cyronics laboratories! Meet Sengoku, Goggle, and Benten, three members of the Cyber Police on a leash by a hardassed warden and chief. If they lose their heads in duty, they might lose their heads for real! 

It’s Yoshiaki Kawajiri’s Cyber City Oedo! Sit on it and swivel! read more

Otaku Evolution Episode 77 – Goku Midnight Eye

This month I’m doing a Yoshiaki Kawajiri theme, kicking it off with a two-part OVA based on a work by Buichi Terasawa (creator of Space Adventure Cobra), Goku Midnight Eye! He doesn’t have a cloud to fly on and he can’t become Super Saiyan Blue, but this Goku does have an extending bo like a certain other Goku! Add to that his ability to basically dominate technology, and you have… well, kind of an OP hero, who somehow still struggles. But hey, at least he can make a boss car. read more

Otaku Evolution Episode 76 – Paranoia Agent

In my spooky Halloween episode for 2016 (a very frightening year!), I don’t go for ghouls and ghosts, nor zombies and witches, but a monster borne from the very human mind and the cultural around us! But what does this say about my own demons? It’s about time Satoshi Kon got his due on my show as I take a look at Paranoia Agent!

Otaku Evolution Episode 75 – JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure OVA (2000)

In this episode of my barely-watched anime review video series, I take a look at the 2000 OVA of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, which adapts Part III of the larger metaseries, Stardust Crusaders. Though oddly enough, only the first half, since the second half was animated in 1993. Yeah, so I’m reviewing in chronological order of the storyline, rather than the production order here. But what are these flashes of memories I’m getting about my first meeting with Pen Pen? Something tells me there’s a need for a TO BE CONTINUED… read more

Otaku Evolution Episode 72 – Appleseed (Movie)

It’s the return of Action Channel Month, here on Otaku Evolution, with a review of the first Appleseed movie! Does this CG film based off the manga by Shirow Masamune hold up after all these years? Well… it doesn’t look any worse than the latest Berserk stuff. Man, can they ever get Berserk right in animation? FFS. But back to Appleseed, join me as I take a look at a movie that has zero reason to exist aside from visual spectacle! Well, that’s actually the only reason any Appleseed productions exist now. Just sit back and relax while I throw sarcastic barbs and mildly clever quips at this showcase piece that nobody cares about. So, the usual!  read more

Otaku Evolution Episode 71 – Arcade Gamer Fubuki

Stack those quarters up and grab a slice, because we’re gonna get the controls greasy and play… er, I mean watch, a little ecchi comedy called Arcade Gamer Fubuki, about a girl whose panties give her the ability to GIT GUD. Japan, you’re so forward-thinking, a girl gamer who doesn’t mind showing off the goods. Empowered by her underwear, literally! Progress marches ever onward. Also, for some reason, she’s friends with Excel from Excel Saga (or, at least a character played by her). read more
