So obviously a frozen cheesecake from the local supermarket... I did actually find a place that had real cheesecake, but they were hella expensive and gaijin owned.
These are the 4 issues of the fanzine we produced a while back (2002-2004). They're rough, but they're also the foundation for a lot of what we've built since then, including this site.
Click on the issues to bring up the full reader.
Issue 1 focused on Berserk, Jin-roh, and Asian live-action movies. It also had a memorable review of Gundress.
Issue 2 was a dissection of FLCL (it explains it all, really) and the work of Taiyo Matsumoto.
Issue 3 tackled Yoshitoshi ABe's traditional Japanese aesthetics, explained Evangelion and looked at the explosion of Korean movies.
Issue 4 was all about horror, laying out what made new wave Japanese horror so unique.

Best mis-use of a foreign language book graphic since FMA's D&D supplement on alchemy?
ReplyDeleteI immediately thought of that, yes.
ReplyDeleteThat same episode had, as scrolling computer text, the manual for IrfanView run through machine translation twice. I thought that was pretty good.
