Leiji Future 2017

Leiji Future was held on December 3 at Tokyo Culture Center. Originally an annual event, but held a little more sporadically in recent years, Leiji Future is a tribute to all things Leiji Matsumoto. It usually includes sellers of related merchandise, panels, screenings of old tv material, and a sketch & autograph session by the man himself (usually projected on a big screen so attendees can watch him work his magic).

The following is a few pics taken at Leiji Future 2017. You can hear our report of the event at the 1:12:55 mark of ep.96 of the SpeakerPODcast.

SPEAKERPODCAST EP.98 – Mazinger Z Infinity

Audio Player

ROCKET PUNCH!!! It’s our first podcast of 2018 and *gasp* has very little to do with Macross?!?

Renato & Gwyn caught Mazinger Z Infinity and sat down in a restaurant afterwards to share some thoughts on it (SPOILERS!) before getting sidetracked by some recent articles doing the rounds on social media that seem to have lost a lot in translation. Oh, and the Mazin Gals! Because one can never have too many Mazin Gals.

Be warned – this podcast contains Mazinger Z Infinity spoilers and too much ambient noise (sorry!).

3×3 Eyes Gengaten

Currently running at Seibu Ikebukuro (Jan.12-Jan.22, 2018), the 3×3 Eyes Gengaten is a fairly extensive exhibit of art from Yuzo Takada’s 3×3 Eyes.

Held to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the manga’s serialisation, the exhibit features illustrations from the series’ inception, all the way up to Takada’s most recent work on the franchise in 2016-2017 as well as an all-new original illustration that he put together for the exhibit.

In an unusual move, photography was actually permitted in most parts of the exhibit, so the SpeakerPODcast Crew put together the following gallery.
