Otaku Evolution Episode 43 – Mid Year Dub Review
Otaku Evolution Episode 43 – Mid Year Dub Review by ellbell01
Pardon the giving in to the temptation of starting a storyline. It’s just until I start up my strips again.
After the Cel Shading review: Hibike! Euphonium – Girls Und Blechbläser (Or: These Girls Know How to Blow)
I loved 2012’s Girls Und Panzer. Initially perceived to be some maudlin, meaningless, moe animu with a gimmicky contrivance, it turned out to be the exact opposite. It was a brisk, well-executed, tale with likable characters, great camaraderie, great production values, and most importantly a genuine desire to make the latter part of the title (tanks), authentic as all get out. It did not get bogged down by hyper-existential dilemmas, pointless filler, cynicism, or even apocalyptic endgame scenarios. It was a well-crafted tale of a bunch of girls and their tanks as they grow together as a team and as individuals on the road to glory.

There are a few less impossibilities in the world of North American licensing of anime these days. The Right Stuf is giving the Gundam franchise its second shot here. There are simulcasts for almost everything Funimaton licenses, including English-dubbed versions. Yen Press is licensing the Baccano! novels. JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure anime is getting a bilingual release here. And maybe Macross is still in Harmony Gold limbo and we still haven’t gotten that Rebuild of Evangelion 3.33 release from Funimation (not that I’m looking forward to that dreck, except to tear it a new one), but at Anime Expo this year, an earthshaking announcement was made.
Otaku Evolution Episode 42 – The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Otaku Evolution Episode 42 – The Melancholy of… by ellbell01
Don’t panic! It’s a mostly harmless 42nd episode of Otaku Evolution, where I cover The Hitchhiker’s Guide to High School. I mean, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
So wait… is Haruhi Zaphod? Itsuki is Ford, Mikuru is Trillian, and Yuki is Marvin. Maybe I’m trying too hard to make this fit.

Ghost in the Shell: The New Movie Trailer
I’m looking forward to this. Arise gets a bad rep, but that’s just because it isn’t SAC. Or maybe because it’s too much like SAC, and yet isn’t. I sort of understand, but they’re both good, and I think people just dismissed it out of hand because neither Oshii nor Kamiyama were handling this. But it honestly looks like it’ll be even better than the previous Arise entries at the very least.
After the Cel Shading – Gundam Build Fighters Try
Go back to the beginning and Try again, show.
In the final episode of Gundam Build Fighters Try, there was a contest where the winner was chosen based on his or her peerless design and craftsmanship of their own Gundam plastic model (Gunpla). At the end, it came down to two finalists: one of the three protagonists and his rival. Their numbers were 6 and 9 respectively. Initially the victor was thought to be number 9, but it turns out that the card was upside down, and the protagonist was the true victor after all.
Otaku Evolution Episode 41 – Harlock Saga
Wait, did I follow up a review of a movie where Nazi mystics were the villains with a review of an OVA based off an opera by an anti-semite and favorite composer of Hitler? Yikes.
