Calling all interstellar bounty hunters: part 2 of 2 in our Death Star blueprints heist is set for this Saturday, April 4 at the Source. We're looking for a few good scoundrels. Join us for the biggest take in the galaxy, won't you?

I wouldn't count myself a card-carrying anime fan. I mean I love Star
Blazers, Robotech and Cowboy Bebop. I grew up on Voltron and Tranzor Z (Mazinger) and later, Transformers.
I've had my mind blown by Akira and Dragun Getter was my spirit animal. And everything
Miyazaki makes is pure gold, rinse, wash, repeat.
But I'm of the old guard anime fans. We didn't even call it that when I was a kid. Dumb grown ups called it "Japanimation," a term that is as culturally oblivious as it is offensive. We didn't have nearly the diversity of programming--or genres, for that matter--that the current generation enjoys. Let alone all the hybrid content that's sprung up since then (I'm looking at you Adventure Time).
My point is, other than a few exceptions (some mentioned above) there's not much else in the style I really enjoy. My tastes are odd and finicky. I can't watch Dragonball. I've tried, it's just not for me.
