Article: Otaku Culture

Coverage that is on the fringe, all things Otaku. Otaku means Maniac – and these articles focus on things we are crazy about.

On May 23rd, 2009, Funimation announced the official casting for its English dubbing of the first of the Rebuild of Evangelion films, “Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone“

I made this book, “All About Joshua Bernard” in October of 1977.

I was six years old in 1979.

My Favorite TV shows in 1979 were Buck Rogers and Devlin

Apparently at the time I looked like a Roswell alien who wore a black t-shirt with dragsters on them.

It’s hard to think of an office-based comedy more different from The Office than this. Graham Linehan’s absurdist sitcom feels nearer in spirit to The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin: off in a mad world of its own, yet uncomfortably familiar, even at its maddest. The IT Crowd even used to have its own “CJ”-type figure in Denholm Reynholm, the overbearing boss of Reynholm Industries played by Chris Morris. Although Reynholm jumped out of a high window in the last series, his playboy son Douglas (Matt Berry) shows every sign of carrying on the family name (plundering the pension fund, putting flakes of gold in the drinking water, etc) and more or less takes over tonight’s very funny opening episode.
