Explanation of the Vault series. This is the final Vault entry before I return from my hiatus. Originally written on July 25, 2002. Yes, folks: this is the one and only piece of fanfiction I’ve ever written. It’s an Evangelion-Serial Experiments Lain crossover fic, and it’s rather long (50 pages double spaced). So I’m only [...]
Editor’s Note: this news is translated from a Chinese website. See reference link at the bottom. Quote Anno (tr.): “This is the only time and place to make the Evangelion that fits my ideal.” Anno changed the name of the project back to its original name, title simply “Evangelion.” And he created a special studio, [...]
“Once again, I watched an useless anime.”– Ryhubei (OK, that’s me). But heh, it’s funny, funny! Even I cannot resist the power of running around little strange moe-tribbles getting into extra-ordinary situations – what I meant was something wacky. Plot? What plot?

With Fujishima Kosuke as the author, it begin its legacy (Editor’s note: to me it sure is legendary) on November, 1988, and there has been 35 volumes of its [...]
From Anime UK News – Production I.G (animation studio behind the likes of Ghost in the Shell) have been hard at work on their extensive official website for a long time now and with their recently updated interview sections, there are many new features worth reading; features that have been fully translated into well-written English [...]
The fifth Mononoke marks the end of the Ghost Ship arc. We’ve seen some quick-thinking ghost fighting tricks in Medicine Seller’s bag (or box rather), a whodunit detective mystery, and the trademark Ayakashi’s confession, which I suspect is one of the main draws to this series for me. That moment of breakdown and confession is [...]
Explanation of the Vault series Originally published on September 23, 2003. This was my second attempt, after my Akira review, to write a “professional review” and analysis. It’s dicier than that one to be honest, and occasionally overreaches in my current opinion. But it still has some decent insights worth sharing. Supernatural Angst Gothic Coming-of-Age [...]
