Anime, Otakism and the Rantings And Ravings of Japanese Popular Culture
I must be lagging, since I only came to know about this piece of news at Canned Dogs almost 2 weeks after the post was up. When I read the title of the post, I wanted to rejoice over news of the movie. After all, I loved the anime.
