This Week: Mardock Scramble (film franchise)
My little cybernetic binge continues, albeit this time in the form of “From the studio that brought me Coppelion last autumn…”

Hangers: Winter Anime, Week Five
This Week: Kill La Kill, Nagi No Asukara. Space Dandy, Pupa, and Gundam Build Fighters.
If it does not stop snowing, pretty soon I’m not going to be able to do much other than these anime shenanigans.

Mothballs: Don’t Tell Gally To Stay In The Galley
This Week: Battle Angel
On January 28th, Yukito Kishiro finally brought the Battle Angel Alita: Last Order manga to the end of its run.

Hangers: Winter Anime, Week Three
This Week: Kill La Kill, Nagi No Asukara, Space Dandy, Pupa, and Gundam Build Fighters.
We once again have bears and robots in the same week, but unfortunately not as bear robots. Shame, that. One had a pretty swanky shirt though.
Pendant Light: Hakujaden, The Tale of the White Serpent, And Living A Love In Color
The first full color anime feature film, from Toei in 1958.
So, full stop and without question, that alone makes this a pretty nifty little slice of animation history to experience.
