Another fortnight has flown by, and it’s time for our latest round up of attention to older anime. This is a bumper crop, with (among other things) several chunky interviews, a lengthy book review and some significant new translations. Also, did you know that 16 July is the thirtieth anniversary of the release of Akira? That’s three decades of Neo Tokyo being about to ᴇ.x.ᴘ.ʟ.ᴏ.ᴅ.ᴇ.
As usual, remarks from Feez are in blue and those from Thaliarchus are in red. Continue reading “Redshift #13”
Redshift #12
Welcome back! We’re pleased to note that we’ve been at this for about half a year now, and we’ve begun gradually building up the kind of longer-term, searchable archive of discussion about older anime that we wanted. As usual, remarks from Feez are in blue and those from Thaliarchus are in red.

Here’s our latest fortnightly round-up of attention to older anime, with all the mermaids, Joyce, Lollardy and clobbering that you’ve been wishing for! As usual, remarks from Feez are in blue and those from Thaliarchus are in red. Continue reading “Redshift #11”
Redshift #10
This post’s a day late because both of our jobs have been pretty demanding lately. But one of the nice things about tracking discussions of older anime is that we’re not racing to compete with anyone! Continue reading “Redshift #10”

Here’s the latest index of attention to older anime! This week we’ve various meaty posts and podcasts to highlight, plus news of a whole bunch of new translation work. As usual, remarks from Feez are in blue and those from Thaliarchus are in red. Continue reading “Redshift #9”
Redshift #8
Another fortnight passes, another index of talk about older anime surfaces! As usual, remarks from Feez are in blue and those from Thaliarchus are in red.
This week, we’ve experimentally rolled Twitter into the Blogging section, since tweeting is a kind of blogging and there are often only one or two entries from Twitter in the first place. Continue reading “Redshift #8”
Redshift #7
In contrast to last fortnight, we have a bumper crop of material this time around: twenty blogposts and columns, plus the usual smattering of podcasts and newly-translated episodes! As usual, remarks from Feez are in blue and those from Thaliarchus are in red. (And I recently noticed that these colours don’t come through in feedreaders, or at least not in the one I use. I’m, ah, thinking about whether we can do anything about that!) Continue reading “Redshift #7”

Isao Takahata died this week. Understandably, many of the published obituaries and tributes have focused on his great films and his role as a co-founder of Studio Ghibli. But he was also someone who was involved in TV anime, from 1963 to 1983. In one sense what we’re living through now, and will be seeing for some time yet, is the gradual departure of the remaining industry figures who experienced the birth of commercial, mass-broadcast anime as adults.
I remember taking a friend who knew nothing about anime to see The Tale of Princess Kaguya, the last film Takahata directed, when it ran in cinemas here in 2015. We left afterwards delighted and moved, my friend possibly even more so than me. Takahata was a great artist.
It’s always sad to see an influential figure pass on. Takahata will undoubtedly be remembered. I haven’t seen many of his works, but Only Yesterday is a calm and moving film, and The Tale of Princess Kaguya is something I’ll remember forever.
But time continues to pass, and for now we’re here to try to keep track of things people have written and said about older anime. As usual, remarks from Feez are in blue and those from Thaliarchus are in red. Continue reading “Redshift #6”

AnimEigo are currently Kickstarting a region-free English bluray release of the 1995–96 Gunsmith Cats OVA. They’ve already hit their initial target, and in the past they’ve successfully run other crowdfunded projects to re-release anime, so this is probably relatively reliable for a Kickstarter (and ‘for a Kickstarter’ is an important caveat there…).
And now let’s get stuck into other links. As usual, asides from Feez are written in blue and those from Thaliarchus are in red. Continue reading “Redshift #5”
