One of the best manga/anime resources
Well, if you are like me and enjoy reading about some philisophical and cultural musings on things, then I have the site for you. You must check out Rei's Anime and Manga Page. There is just so much on here that is worth reading through. He did writing for EX magazine (which unfortunately seems inactive for over a year), and has many good insights. Some highlights?
A listing of some topics/genres in anime/manga
Stereotypes in the west
Romanticism in Japan
2001 Workshop
A couple of good reviews:
Rose of Versailles
Cyborg 009 (now coming out in the US)
Yokohama Shopping Trip Log manga and anime
As well as links to some good older articles by others:
Time magazine on two mangas
Christian Science Monitor (of all people)
Lots of other stuff on there including some new articles with an anime director and his thoughts. Well, that was quite a lot of links right after my other post, but I'd guess most people haven't run into this site yet. I'd like to address some of the points in his articles, but am not quite sure where to start... ;)
