Ultraman: Rising by Mike Mignola.

Wonder if his buddy (and big Ultraman fan) Art Adams put him up to this.

It really is insane to think about how foundational the original Mobile Suit Gundam is to gay literature.

Ryosangata Riko: Puramo Joshi no Jinsei Kumitate Ki (Ep 1)

When you can relate to a Mecha that suits your personality as an ordinary and "replaceable" person that is often overlooked by others but still serves a purpose in the greater scheme of things.

EOS: Edge of Skyhigh

This article is part of our Japanese Obscurities feature. We put out a whole book about them, which is available as both a full color hardcover and a Kindle ebook from Amazon! If you’d like to see more of these features, please check out the book and if you enjoyed it, leave a five star review so we can do a follow up with even more interesting, offbeat, or historically important Japanese games!

Taking after arcade classics like Space Harrier and After Burner, EOS: Edge of Skyhigh is a 3D rail shooter where you pilot a transforming mecha, using both a rapid fire gun and lock-on missiles to destroy hordes of enemies. The jet plane form is a little weaker but its smaller size makes it easier to dodge attacks, while the robot form is slightly more powerful but also makes it a bigger target. The robot form also features a powerful burst attack, a volley of powerful shots which is useful for taking down larger foes. You can use the shoulder triggers to speed up or slow down, but the difference in speed is often imperceptible.

Although it's late by two days, Happy 24th Anniversary to the Escaflowne the Movie: A Girl in Gaea! This action-adventure anime film with breathtaking animation hit Japanese movie theatres on June 24th, 2000 and later appeared in cinemas in Europe in 2001 and in North America in 2002.

Here is a selection of official promotional art for the movie found on the online art gallery Minitokyo.

In my opinion, the story and characters are not nearly as engaging in the movie version but the animation is amazing. I also like the character designs and the earthy sword and sorcery aesthetics with an apparently Central Asian and Japanese cultural flavour. What's your opinion of the Escaflowne movie?
