Director Sunao Katabuchi has worked on an astonishing range of anime. Many Western fans may still be most familiar with him as the director of the brashly ultraviolent series Black Lagoon, but his new opus In This Corner of the World is as far from that as Ozu's Tokyo Story is from Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. Based on the manga by Fumiyo Kono, the film is a delicately-drawn period drama showing the

As the year comes to an end it's common for people to list their favorite new pieces of media, and anime is no exception to that custom. We can go further than a list of the best TV series of 2015 however, what about the greatest moments of animation of the year?

Episode CXXXIII: The Greatest Manga Censorship Fails It's always surprised me that there's no giant internet database listing all censorship in English editions of manga. Maybe it shouldn't surprise me; there's been so many little changes it's hard to notice them all, and the manga community is scattered, so fans of Manga X don't necessarily care on principle if Manga Y is censored.

Gen Urobuchi is perhaps best known among anime fans as the screenwriter for the smash hit Puella Magi Madoka Magica; his latest project is scripting what is likely the fall's biggest and most anticipated series, Fate/Zero, the prequel to Type-Moon's Fate/stay night.

As you've all heard by now, Niconico and Funimation have launched a joint licensing venture. Niconico asked me to provide a 2-minute video commentary for their presentation and I obliged. Unfortunately 2 minutes isn't enough time to really give all my thoughts on this joint venture, so I've decided to go into more detail here, on Anime News Network. The text of my 2-minute commentary is below, and
Please note that questions and answers which contain spoilers for the Puella Magi Madoka Magica anime series are clearly marked with "[SPOILER]". AnimeNewsNetwork: Who is the audience for Puella Magi Madoka Magica? Visually it has a sort of "little girl" aesthetic, but of course it's darker and more sophisticated than magical girl shows aimed at children. Is it for hardcore otaku? For adults who g

Even though I call myself an anime fan, I haven't really been watching a whole lot of new series recently. That's not to say there isn't good stuff coming out of Japan these days – I just saw Summer Wars in the theater earlier today and it looks and sounds wonderful. (I quite enjoyed he dub, even though I almost always watch anime subbed if I can help it.) And I will wax poetic about Redline whene
