The Rabbitte Perspective

The ones that stand out.... I don't think it's any surprise for people who generally know me that I do enjoy watching anime. I was brought up in a generation when animation was dominating the scene and when anime, was beginning to become part of the norm of viewing pleasure in the west. This is evident with shows such as Pokemon for example which stemmed across the different artistic mediums of being a manga which turned into a show and became a gaming franchise that is still going on for 20 years now, which is kind of staggering to think about. What is also kind of crazy to think about, is the amount of 'anime' shows I've watched and how many of them, really have good openings to them which out-class openings to live-action shows that ordinarily get the praise and most notice. In this rather different and special Post, my attempt is to share with you, the openings that are well... just really good to watch and listen to. While there will be selections from J

Necessary sacrifice... Hey everyone, so basically I know normally this would be Post where I would either review or film/anime or talk about specific film news that appealed to me personally, but due to important circumstances and time I have left of Uni, I think it's time to let you know, very briefly, what you should expect to see and not see from this Blog in the coming weeks and months.

The obvious reason for this, as I'm sure people know already and are in the same predicament as me in this time, is the simple fact that I am currently in an important stage at university where I'm doing a dissertation project that is gruelling, but weirdly exciting to do at the same time. I think the fact that I won't be posting once every-single week from now on, will be bene

A lot of potential that sadly falls flat on its face... It's not really surprising to state firstly that anime and video games over the years, whether it is within a Japanese animated film or T.V. show, that both entertainment mediums very much work in conjunction with each other. The obvious examples I have mentioned in the past, such as the Final Fantasy games being adapted into films in the forms of The Spirits Within and Advent Children and Pokemon becoming a transcending Nintendo product, are a perfect example of this and while in the past, these two mediums were considered to be something for the 'geek' demographic, I think it's fair to say now that we do live in an age where Japanese anime and video games are part of the 'norm' of peoples lives thanks to works such as Hayao Miyazaki and popular video games like Super Mario Bros. that appeal to all ages. What has spawned from western audiences 'embracing' Japanese animation, and video g
