Patricia’s back! Although I see fit to demote her to ‘guest host’ status right out of the gate. But never mind, she’ll earn her way back in in short order. This week Patrica, Ed, Clyde, and Alex bitch about cut-scenes …
This week we welcome co-editor Gregory ‘Mazinga’ Harris, Patricia ‘AnaKhouri’ Correll, and Ed to put a cap on our Gen Con 2010 coverage. We also have some other convention news, I announce my in-development chambara tabletop RPG, and we pick …
Hi, Mamoru Oshii here, director of such films as Ghost in the Shell and Sky Crawlers. I just wanted to tell you all about my new movie, Assault Girls. I’m pretty sure it’s the best movie ever made, if I …
Anime News Network reports that Ghost in the Shell director Mamoru Oshii will not be helming one of the shorts directly, but instead will act as ‘Creative Director’ – uhm, which is fine since that’s what he did for Jin-Roh…
Halo Legends just got way more interesting – Ghost in the Shell auteur Mamoru Oshii will be directing one of the segments, with Production I.G. handling animation duties.

I dug the animated Blood: The Last Vampire. Great animation, nice action, and Japanese schoolgirls with swords is always a plus. Never read the manga, so I can’t offer an opinion on that account. I did read Mamoru Oshii’s …
Production I.G. exec Maki Terashima-Furuta made comments (reported at Anime News Network) to the effect that a live-action Jin-Roh is being prepped while another I.G. rep confirmed that the studio is preparing a third Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone …
I thought the original Blood: The Last Vampire was pretty underrated, and liked it enough to pick up Mamoru Oshii’s novel based on the same source material. I’ve not read the manga, but I am pretty curious about the upcoming …
Trailer!
Above is an English-language trailer for the new film about Miyamoto Musashi by Production I.G. and Mamoru Oshii.
In my book, Oshii + I.G. = epic win every time, so hell yes I’ll be seeing it!
According to the …
According to ICv2, Anchor Bay is going to release the neat-o updated version of Mamori Oshii’s classic film on Blu-Ray later this year…but it looks like it’s only going to be on Blu-Ray.

I don’t have a Blu-Ray …
