And a new review from Your’s Truly, Sorcery In The Big City, a Christmastime OVA set in New York City! Spoiler alert: it’s kinda fun, but don’t get your hopes up!

We’ll be getting some other Christmastime Features up when it’s December. Also, Professor Pachi is hard at work with some other new material, which we hope to have up by the end of the year.

OUR NEW FACULTY MEMBER, PROFESSOR PACHI, HAS DEBUTED WITH A REVIEW OF A CLASSIC MADHOUSE ANIME SERIES, “KAIBA”, WHICH MAY BE FOUND HERE.  

WITH A FORCEFUL ICHI NI PUNCH, PROF. PACHI HAS ADDED A NEW REVIEW TO A WORK ALREADY IN OUR FILES, ALIEN 9, ADDING HER MOST ESTIMABLE REMARKS TO THOSE OF PROFESSORS EMERITUS MADOKA AND KJELDORAN!

PROF. PACHI NOW HAS A THIRD AND FOURTH CONTRIBUTION TO HER PORTFOLIO, AN ORIGINAL REVIEW OF MAGICAL FANTASY CHILDREN OF THE WHALES! AND NOW, AS NOTED BELOW, Sailor Moon SuperS: Black Dream Hole IS IN HER PORTFOLIO WITH PROF. MADOKA’S!

PLEASE, A BIG ANIME ACADEMY ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR PROF. PACHI!

 

                                                          

Other newer reviews include Gargantia On The Verdurous Planet, Aho Girl, Aria The Animation, Starship Operators, and When Marnie Was There.

Be sure to see our reviews of a classic series, Space Runaway Ideon, and the double-feature movies, Ideon: A Contact and Ideon: Be Invoked. Ideon is old fashioned giant transforming mecha material from the creator of Gundam, and has been credited by Hideaki Anno as an inspiration for his own Neon Genesis Evangelion. Ideon really is a must-see for NGE fans!

Don’t miss our new special sections:

Anime Academy Annex: Student Lounge presenting a number of Anime Music Videos (AMVs) for some light entertainment.

Famous Foods of Anime, for a look at some Japanese cuisine often seen in anime.

Special Features is a section for anime-related material which may not be anime but is related in some way to make it of interest to the anime fan. It currently looks at the recent movie Shin Godzilla, directed by Hideaki Anno, and a Toei Studios production, H.P. Lovecraft’s Dunwich Horror. This latter is closer to puppetry than anything, and provides a chilling presentation of three of American horror writer H.P. Lovecraft’s works.

 

 

With thousands of students, a vast library and plenty of lectures available each semester, it’s no doubt that we’ve grown to become the most respected institution for anime academics. And with so many areas of expertise at your disposal, choosing a major may just be harder than any final exam you’ll ever take! But don’t get me wrong; enrolling in classes is easy, but there is much to learn to go from a green Freshman to a learned Graduate Student.

 

Across the top, you will find the Library, where hundreds and hundreds of anime are described and reviewed. We have moved over all the existing reviews (just a few were lost to water damage from being stored in the basement) and are indexed in the Catalogs both alphabetically and by grade.

You will also find some articles on important real-life figures in anime: directors, actors, etc., as well as cultural & background information, and how these many professors compose their reviews.

Below is Founders’ Hall, a gallery of those who built this great hall of learning.

And finally, yours truly, the man currently behind the scenes . . .
