NeoTokyo is about to explode.
Haven’t watched it yet; just bought it last night by chance. The little shop where sometimes I find interesting stuff was covered in shojo, some Macross Plus, and j-pop (I will return). Some Ghibli, too (Castle in the sky, Kiki’s delivery service), which are always good, but the werewolf girl had lent those to me before.
These days my mother has gone on a clean-up frenzy, so I was forced to re-arrange my books, movies, and the few comic and manga I’ve got. So I found some things I had forgotten I had: drawings people have done for me (Dragon Ball, Harlock, Justice League), the Ultimate Spiderman number this guy from the Comic Conventions so kindly gave me, my Harlock action figures, my rubber spider and bat, and borrowed stuff I have not given back (four Saint Seiya books I haven’t even read!).
So, it seems this weekend -even if they’re luring me into this ecological thing- will be spend with Akira. I watched it for the first time at this little manga expo four years ago, but the audio wasn’t that good then. Let’s fix that now, ne?
(I just learned this Katsuhiro Otomo pal was involved in Metropolis and Steamboy. Already admire him.)
