3 weeks away before I'm away from the pressure of school for a month...It's just getting more intense for me right now so I'll keep it short.
Basiclly there has been some new anime on the line up for showing here this Spring here in America as well as the fall. While it's sort of unknown what all of them are right now. I do know that on April 15th CN plans to start airing the just recently completed series Eureka 7 on the Adult Swim hour of Cartoon network. Those that haven't watched the series yet or know much about it you can think of it as sort of like an Evangalion for the new genration. I've only seen snipets of the anime, but looking at it's art style and apperance I can say it looks very promising for a mecha series. So if your hungry for a new look at Mecha in a unique way be sure to watch Eureka 7 on the 15th on Adult Swim.
And if you miss it then....you can always go to Anime Village (during the April 16th-21st) to see a stream of the first episode for free(legally).
On flash news....I got a very powerful flash that you all should really see. If anyone knows of John Su (creator of the flash piece Final Fantasy A+ then you should know that he has a very funny and unique method with his anime flash works.. just recently he reappered after a 1 year absnece because he just finshed up an intense flash project he did by himself.
The name of this flash is Shoo Fly. This is only a one minute long flash, but the quality and the animation is beyond anything any flash artist really sat down and tried to make. This is cause a good majority of the flash is done with frame by frame animation(compared to those that use short cut methods). He uses a style that is known as Mickey Mousing (or as I call it Fantasia syncing) where the animation moves in sync with the music. This is getting great reviews at newground and to me this could become a big talk for flash animators to try to attempt. Unfortnatly John Su got a little exhausted after attempting this he thinks he doesn't want to attempt this again....personally though....he should slap this in a portfolio and go look into an animation industry.
Fianlly on a werid note....I found this interesting graphic design site done by this flash animator H. Hoggerburgge He does alot of werid animations and stuff....most of it's worksafe, there's still a few here and there that isn't...but.. anyways, he mainlyy does alot of werid stuff involing using filmworks and converting it into werid art. just looks at it....you'll find it weird.
Among my favorite is....FLOW which is a really weird an interactive movie so feel free to have fun an enjoy the weridness. XD
Quick update from today: Apperently the famous imageboard site 4chan is celebrating Golden Week....and as part of the special for golden week they're allowing people from Japan to visit thier site thistil May 9th. So anyone from Japan who was curious if 4chan is anywhere nearly as crazy as 2ch can go take a look. ^^
That's it for now. If you want to speak about the rant feel free to make a topic in the forum as always.
Till next time....Ya matta! ^__^
