Code Geass is an original anime series produced by Sunrise. The series was directed by Gorō Taniguchi and written by Ichirō Ōkouchi, while Clamp provided the original character designs. The series introduced us to the exiled prince Lelouch Lamperouge, who would soon become one of the most popular characters in the world of anime, thanks to his intriguing story and his great character development. Now, the series spanned over two major anime seasons, several Ova works, and two movies, alongside a light novel series and several manga iterations.
And while there hasn’t been any new content for a while, we now know that the Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture anime project is going to arrive very soon, with a first trailer for the upcoming project finally available. You can check it out here:

Bloody Disgusting’s 12 Days of Creepmas is nearly at an end, so it’s time to bring out the big guns in holiday horror. The 2nd Day of Creepmas brings a pair of gateway horror-comedies that will keep you busy from Christmas through New Year’s Eve.
When it comes to holiday horror, few can beat Joe Dante’s Gremlins. The charming 1984 classic decks the halls with holiday theming but it’s also unafraid to show its sharp pointy teeth.

Code Geass: Z of the Recapture anime was announced three years ago. Since then no substantial information about the series ever made the light of the day. The general consensus in the fandom was that it was shelved altogether.
However, fans can now rejoice as new information about Code Geass: Z of the Recapture anime will be revealed on Dec 18, 2023.

Aided by his glamorous twin sister, Hokuto, and the veterinarian who claims to love him, Seishirou Sakurazuka, he solves the supernatural troubles that plague the citizens of Tokyo—both living and deceased!” (Yen Press)

Some young people look at various tweets, articles, and posts from cinephiles and film historians like myself advocating for proper film preservation and scoff, thinking that, in this brave new world of instant access streaming services and online downloads, the entire history of cinema is at our fingertips and so we shouldn't be complaining.
Of course, this attitude is not only grossly misinformed given modern cinema's unsustainable status quo, but potentially dangerous, at least when it comes to keeping the history of what is still the most preeminent artistic medium of our lifetime alive. If historians are particularly passionate about the issue, it's in part because we're aware of similar threats that menaced film preservation in the past.
One of those threats emerged in the mid-'80s, when media mogul Ted Turner made the rather glib decision to "colorize" classic black-and-white films for television broadcast. The pushback from filmmakers, critics,...

It’s time to capture some Clow Cards on a mystic adventure! Netflix has just announced one of the most beloved magical girl series of all time is coming to the Us and Canada. Cardcaptor Sakura, the adorable tale of an elementary schooler who accidentally unleashes the magical Clow Cards on the world and has to recapture them with her own magic and fabulous outfits. Based on the manga of the same name, the original anime ran for 70 episodes between 1998 and 2000.
That anime was split into two arcs, which Netflix is now calling the “Clow Card” and “Sakura Card” arcs. Both of these will be part of the Netflix drop in the Us and Canada on June 1st. Also from the promo, which you can watch below, we know that the English dub of the series will be included.

I love comics. (Surprise! Or not.) I love all kinds of comics. And that includes material published by Viz, Vertical, Yen Press… Oh dear. I must mean… manga.
Even fans of American comics look at manga with disdain. They roll their eyes and pick up their single issues and graphic novels, snubbing black and white volumes, intentionally avoiding what has somehow become a “teen market”. But, surprise (for real this time): not all manga is about magical schoolgirls traveling through sparkly dimensions. Manga is just the Japanese word for comic. And remember how pissed off you get when people think of American comics as cheesy fairy tales about men in tights?
Manga can be just as monstrous as the latest horror movie, my friends. And here are five of my absolute favorite works—leaving out seminal titles such as Akira and Ghost In The Shell and more recent hits...

America’s fascination with all things Japanese long predates Keanu Reeves’s backflips or the recent adaptations of Ringu. The popularity of Japanese pop culture is a huge subject and even tackling Japanese manga and anime is daunting. Experts in the fields of manga and anime will have to excuse the necessary compression needed to introduce some of the history of these – by now – inescapable art forms.
To begin, manga are comics and anime stands for animated film in Japan. Due to its popularity, Disney animation left a big mark on anime on pre-war Japan that anime and manga absorbed. Those incredibly big eyes that Japanese cartoons sport are simply Bambie’s grandchildren in disguise. But there the parallels soon end. Whereas American animators seem to be positively ashamed of the two-dimensional space they are confined to and have been searching ever more novel ways of using 3D, Japanese manga...

The Blood-c saga is the latest entry in the long running Blood: The Last Vampire franchise, which has spanned different media such as novels, manga, TV series and films. Produced in collaboration by Production I.G and famous manga creators Clamp, Blood-c puts a new spin on the story of Saya, the young katana wielding schoolgirl in her fight against the forces of darkness. Blood-c: The Last Dark is the film that serves as closure to the 2011 anime series. I have to say that I haven't seen the series, so I watched the film without previous knowledge of the Blood-c universe.In a near-future Tokyo, the government has enacted the Youth Protection Ordinance, a law the imposes a curfew for the minors to be out at...

Saya the teenage vampire hunter is back in the latest addition to the popular Blood franchise, the animated feature Blood-c: The Last Dark. The manga artist group Clamp developed the story while anime studio Production I.G did the animation. Official synopsis: Despite the use of the Youth Ordinance Bill to enforce curfews for minors and regulate the use of the internet, young people continue to fight for their own freedom through underground methods. One such group calls themselves Surat. They have decided to take on Fumito Nanahara, a man who has great influence on the political world, and basically controls Tokyo with an iron fist. While using the internet as a weapon to discover more information about Fumito, they learn about "Tower", the secret organization behind...

Shochiku has uploaded a new web-exclusive trailer for Naoyoshi Shiotani’s Blood-c: The Last Dark to their YouTube channel.
The movie follows up last year’s Blood-c manga and anime series. Blood-c was created by the all-female manga artists group Clamp and features an original story inspired Production I.G’s Blood franchise.
The story is set in Tokyo as a Youth Protection Ordinance is enforced which prevents underage people from going out at night and limits their use of the internet. However, a team of young people have organized an underground resistance movement called “Surat” to fight against the tyranny created by a man named Fumito Nanahara. Surat has uncovered information on a secret organization called “Tower” which backs Nanahara and is engaging in mysterious human experiments.
When a member of Surat begins snooping around the subway to discover more about Tower’s activities, vicious creatures suddenly appear. Just then,...

This week’s Reviewing the Mail begins with a long-distance shout-out to Ellen Wright, who started at Wiley the first week I did, but has since moved up and on to working in Publicity with the fine folks at Orbit Us. My pipeline of Yen Press titles — Yen being the manga arm of Orbit — had dwindled recently, probably because I hadn’t reviewed many of their books in that same period [1], but I now have a batch of them here, and I hope they’ll continue. (Though, again, I imagine I’ll need to review some of those books for Yen to want to keep sending me books — it’s really not difficult to see how this works, if you’re capable of consider other people’s point of view.)
So hooray for Yen, which will be the bulk of this week’s post. But, before I get into that,...

Many of us are in the midst of mourning/celebrating Tokyopop, which closed up shop in the United States last month. The fate of many ongoing series is undetermined (and Amazon is unable to fulfill orders for them), but as we wait and wonder at their fate, we can go back and catch up on or look anew at over 300 titles offered through their house around the world. The most popular titles over the years have been my personal favorite, Fruits Basket, along with Mobile Suit Gundam, Paradise Kiss, Sailor Moon, Saiyuki, PhD: Phantasy Degree, Suikoden, Angelic Layer, Devil May Cry, Cowboy Bebop, Magic Knight Rayearth, .hack, Jing: King of Bandits, Dramacon, Bizenghast, Anima, Pet Shop of Horrors, Kingdom Hearts, and the more recent and bestselling additions to their list, Priest, Gakuen Alice, Alice in the Country of Hearts, Butterfly, and Pavane for the Dead.

For some reason, the future always seems to be a few decades away. 1984 was published in 1949. Terminator, which appropriately enough was released in 1984, set 1997 as the date for the apocalyptic “Judgement Day.” It seems strange now, after the turn of the Millennium (which happened rather uneventfully, with little more than an endless repeat of an old Prince song to mark its passing) to look back on things like Mad Max, Y2K, or the still older imaginings of such retro science fiction classics as Fahrenheit 451 or Soylent Green, but for decades, sci-fi imagineers alternated between the chills of gloom and doom and utopian fever.
Anime and manga embraced these themes with series like Akira, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Vampire Hunter D. X 1999 represents Clamp’s foray into the dark future.

It’s no accident that you are reading this column. In life there is no such thing as coincidence. There is only… inevitability…
I won’t even try to hide my enthusiasm for this series. If you remember my column on collecting anime swag, you know I own two XXXHOLiC wall scrolls — one autographed by Colleen Clinkenbeard, the voice of Yuko herself, along with a clock (also autographed), and a Yuko lapel pin. I made my own Watanuki/Doumeki cosplay, and there is a stuffed black Mokona plush over the TV. In other words, I’m a fan, and so you can imagine my excitement when Funimation released the entire series of XXXHOLiC as a boxed set.
XXXHOLiC, (pronounced “Holic”; the x’s are silent), tells the story of a boy named Watanuki, who has the curse of being able to see spirits. Wherever he goes, they are drawn to him.
