Greetings! It's the last week of 2021! This has recently become my favorite time of the year because it's the end of the year, where everything ends. It's a nostalgic period, where one gets to look back on everything over the past 365 days. Maybe you have some accomplishments you're proud of or maybe you're just glad you pulled through some hard times. If there's one thing that helped me and countless others get through the year, it's anime Anime as a whole is more popular than ever and 2021 was stacked with shows. We've had major reboots, long awaited sequels, and highly anticipated adaptations ass well as exciting original works. Unfortunately, manufacturing all those shows is very very hard. The anime industry as a whole is facing an overproduction crisis due to high demand but low wages and employment. Animators are being stretched thin to meet deadlines and there's no sign of things getting better. The production issues effect several of these s...
Corin Hemphill Entry #1 9/11/2014 Why am I taking this course? I could keep it short and sweet and just say this is a required class for my major; but to be honest I did purposefully choose Intro to Mass Comm. I am a Mass Communications major who has no idea what to concentrate in. I chose this major so I could take German, theater, political science, and only have two math classes for freshman year and none after. I was a student who chose a major with no intention of doing anything with it. How am I supposed to apply what I learn to my future, if I know nothing if my field? This is the very first blog entry I have ever made. It is a new experience and I'm positive that I'll continue to use it after this semester. The purpose of a blog is for a person to share their thoughts and opinions on various subjects. It's safe to assume that using a blog will get my feet wet for any journalism I plan to do in the future. I can take full advantage of my assigned blog entries...
Space Battleship Yamato 2199 To be specific, this is my favorite anime I've watched so far this year, as I don't have a favorite anime of all time. Space Battleship Yamato 2199 is the 2012 remake of a science-fiction anime from the 70's knows as Space Battleship Yamato and released in the US as Star Blazers. November of last year Funimation announced out of practically nowhere they simuldubbing Yamato 2199. This was significant because Yamato 2199 was constantly used as an excuse to justify piracy. Voyager, the company who licensed the original series was basically sitting on the rights to this remake, only releasing 16 episodes across 4 DVDs and doing nothing else. Once the DVDs went out of print the only way the watch the anime was to go on illegal sites. So for Funimation and Crunchyroll to not only stream the anime, but also provide a home video release and license the sequel Yamato 2202 almost felt like a miracle. Now as for the show itself, Yamato 2199 is the ...
