Junko's Shamisen

I don't even know what the hell this is, but I want it.

Turbo - an indie film that might as well be Tekken: The Movie

Continuing my video-dropping from today is this independently-produced short film about the bad-ass world of video game tournaments in a trendy, futuristicly vague LA (or somewhere).

I'll admit there ain't much original going on here, but it's surprisingly competent and earnest. Kind of like a high school drama group getting Michael Bay's FX department.

Independently-produced Short Anime Continues to Impress

Independent anime shorts are usually a nice little surprise and Fumiko's Confession is no different. Cute and fun, it's short and quick to not overstay its welcome either.

Prolly doesn't hurt that the musical choice always brings me back to good ol' Ebichu fansubs, too.
