I like the sidekick thing. I want more significant cultural artifacts turned into animoo-esque characters. Perhaps next could be Magical Girl Kokopelli.
Is the full chest line at the end supposed to be a pun, or just ridiculous?
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.
I sleep so damn well at night knowing that the Machine Girl mafia are out there constantly exploring new frontiers of trash.
