Takahata: The Exhibition
By Andrew Osmond.
The magnificent exhibition “Takahata Isao: A Legend in Japanese Animation” (the title puts Takahata’s family name first, Japanese style) runs at Tokyo’s National Museum of Modern Art until 6th October. Struggling to take in Takahata’s career of over 50 years, I was reminded of an immodest quip made by Orson Welles in the 1930s, even before he’d debuted as a filmmaker. Welles introduced himself to an audience as a writer, producer, stage director, actor and magician. Then he asked: “Why are there so many of me and so few of you?” Continue Reading

Podcast – 10th July 2019
ALL THE ANIME PODCAST - 10th July 2019
"YOU ARE (NOT) YOUTH ANYMORE"
[RECORDED ON 9TH JULY 2019]
It's been a while... about a year since we last recorded a podcast (excluding the Scotland Loves Anime 2018 special) but we're finally back with a new podcast! It's something we've had on the docket for a while, and time has finally allowed us to get the ball rolling on that with a loose feeling episode covering a variety of topics.
Join Jeremy Graves and Andy Hanley as they talk about a few new releases including the Oscar nominated Mirai, Welcome to the Ballroom: Part 1 and Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online - Part 1, then it's all about our Summer of Gundam as we bring you up to speed on what you can expect from us in the way of releases from the world of Gundam including the film Char's Counter Attack, and Gundam Wing!
Then, given it's very much a talking point in general at the moment, we wanted to get in on the conversation when it comes to Neon Genesis Evangelion now being available to watch on Netflix. This is the point where fellow All The Anime team members Kat Hall and Keith Copping get in the robot with us to discuss rewatching the series, likes and dislikes about the new English dub, thoughts on watching the show as an adult compared to when we were *cough* younger and how that impacts the overall perception of the series, reactions of people experiencing it for the first time and more!
Then, keeping on the Evangelion train, Keith was in Paris at Japan Expo this past weekend and got to see the 10-minute preview of the upcoming fourth film in the Rebuild of Evangleion Project with a bunch of rabid French fans. We get thoughts on this 10-minute Evangelion 0706 preview, the reaction of the fans in the building and more!
Note about the Evangelion discussion on this podcast: We do our best to keep it as spoiler free as possible, but inevitably this doesn't happen. So SPOILER WARNING when it comes to all the Evangelion discussion on this podcast for both the series and 0706 10 minute preview.
NOTE: As always please note this podcast may contain strong language and any views expressed by individuals in this podcast do not reflect those of Anime Limited.

Books: Japanese Media Cultures
By Jonathan Clements.
Originally appearing as two issues of the online journal Arts, Japanese Media Cultures in Japan and Abroad: Transnational Consumption of Manga, Anime and Media-Mixes, edited by Manuel Hernández-Pérez, makes a brave stab at defining a number of important baseline issues in the study of anime and manga. It does contain several tooth-itchingly precious attempts to coin new buzzwords (spare us, please, any more papers using the term animesque), but also some valuable considerations of elements of contemporary Japanese media around the world, from Marco Pellitteri on the journey of “cute” culture from Japan to Europe, to José Andrés Santiago Iglesias on early Euro-Japanese co-productions and their influence.
