Super Happy Magic: A Record Of Interaction

Hello,

I’m Michael Fitz-Gibbon, a recent graduate of Central Connecticut State University, and avid Japanese animation fan. I majored in English with a minor in Creative Writing in college and am eager to put my writing talents to use, and believe that writing reviews for Anime News Network may be one way to do this. I am at the disposal of the ANN staff if necessary, as I am currently writing short stories and poetry, hoping to be published, but otherwise have time to watch and review media. I would appreciate the opportunity to review anime for ANN, as I have been a long time visitor to the site and a member of the forum (as penguintruth). Anime News Network has been a favorite anime website of mine for a long time and is undoubtedly the finest source of anime news on the web, and it would be a great privilege to be part of the effort to maintain its standard of reporting and reviewing. read more

Dragon Ball Kai – DROPPED BALL Z

Pissing away all of the good will it built…

When I started churning out episodes of Otaku Evolution, my anime review video project, on a weekly basis, I fell behind doing text reviews for this site. The biggest victim of that wasn’t the reviews I always intended to start on Terror in Resonance or my occasional review of anime classics, but my weekly Dragon Ball Kai reviews. I’d reviewed over 100 episodes of Toei’s "manga cut" version of DBZ, from its shaky early days, to the highs of its Freeza and Artificial Human/Cell arc, to it’s current plot line involving Babidi and Majin Buu. By now, I’ve fallen so far behind, it would take quite an effort to catch up, but with a little elbow grease I could revive my Dragon Ball Kai reviews, right? I mean, it was Kai that restored my interest in the DB franchise back when news of its debut broke! It’s become an insistution of my blog, so why not? read more
