If you ever wondered what a pure, unfettered Mari Okada anime would look like, Maquia would be the first chapter in a work that is undeniably her own. For those who have never heard of Mari Okada, she is a longtime series composer/screenplay writer that often refined or assisted in the stories of others. Notably, Okada worked on Anohana and Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans, but Maquia marks her directorial debut while retaining control of the script.

Anyone who has grown up in the last decade and spent some time watching anime on Cartoon Network/Toonami/Adult Swim knows the name FLCL. It's one of the GAINAX greats right up there with Neon Genesis Evangelion and Gurren Lagann and you'd be hard pressed to find someone who hasn't seen it. About a month ago Adult Swim announced a tour by The Pillows in support of the new season of FLCL (FLCL Progressive) and this tour will include a special appearance at San Diego Comic-Con.
With Anime Expo 2018 just a few days away, Aniplex USA has gone up with a massive list of events, panels, guest meet and greets and gatherings. Are you excited? I'm Excited!
Fanime is known for a few things and one of those is cosplay. Here's a glimpse at some of the great ones we saw!
FanimeCon 2018 is finally behind us and I have taken a few days to reflect on the festivities. The fact of the matter is this year's FanimeCon was pretty weak overall. That's not to say I didn't enjoy myself. FanimeCon has something for everyone, whether it be cosplaying with your friends, going to panels to meet your favorite guest of honor, or even rocking out at Music Fest. So it wasn't that I was surprised there was nothing exciting going on, I was more surprised that they didn't surprise me again. Because they have been full of surprises for the last two years or so. If anything FanimeCon 2018 points to an even more exciting FanimeCon 2019.
