Stereopony's been rocking the faces off of Japan since 2007 and we had the chance to be de-facificed ourselves at this years Sakura-Con. If you've enjoyed Mobile Suit Gundam 00 or Darker Than Black, you would probably recognize their music. These three girls have definitely made their mark in the J-Rock and anime world and there's no sign of them slowing down. Our very own Roger Lee sat down with them and talked a little bit about their career, their struggles, and the support they've received from fans friends and family alike.
Retsu Tateo (館尾冽) is a female Japanese mangaka best known for her illustrations in Full Metal Panic! She has followed the main story of the series as closely as possible by collaborating with the author of the original light novels, Shoji Gatoh. Tateo-san is also the artist of her manga, Endless Eden. At this year's Sakura-Con in Seattle, we talked with Tateo-san about how she started working on Full Metal Panic!, her experience illustrating the series, and of course, her mascot frog.
