Rei Ayanami, is a character which requires no introduction. Rei is without question, one of the most iconic and idolized anime characters of all time. You can’t go to a con without seeing Rei cosplay. Your definitely not leaving a con without seeing a side back shot of her  skinny body, coupled with her expressionless face on an Evangelion poster.When you stop to examine this, its quite amazing that Rei was able to garner so much popularity. After all Rei isn’t the first emotionally damaged female mech pilot with blue hair. (Four Murasame from Zeta Gundam) Why is Rei so popular and why does she stand out? Since nothing about her appearance or story (cloning aside) really seems to really set her apart. The only thing your left with to explain her popularity, is her personality. Normally personality is the main selling point of a character , but in this peculiar case the  Rei has literally no personality to speak of. She is an empty shell of a person who seems to have no personal goals or ambitions.  Rei simply does what she is told. Since this is Character Talk lets just flat out ask the question(should link to the last one Read More…

So wow, this is a thing that is happening. What started as a joke kickstarter campaign quickly turned serious. Raising more than $ 60,000 the internet was able to in effect force a remix album of Run The Jewels’ hardcore hip-hop album using cat sounds.I was of coarse shocked , when I first read this. Do cats even makes sounds ? I had to ask myself because in my personal experience it’s hard as hell to get a cat to make noise. This surely can’t be a thing that is happening. So I let a few months pass and lo and behold Meow the Jewels is released and features quite an impressive list of producers. You have El-P (of coarse), Just Blaze, Prince Paul, The Alchemist, and Dan the Automator just to name a few. So when I saw the list of producers this immediately peaked my interest even more than the initial announcement. These are all serious top level producers who always step up with amazing instrumentals. So it was weird to see them featured on a “joke” remix album. So I’m going to have to clear up what might be a misconception. Meow the Jewels is a serious Read More…

So after completing my third read though of Gantz, my favorite manga, I decided to familiarize myself with more of Hiroya Oku’s work. After all if Gantz is my favorite manga, surely I would at least be somewhat interested in his other material. So I started reading Hen and I was quite surprised how different this title is from Gantz. Gantz in case you aren’t familiar with it is a horror, sci-fi, action drama that is really ambicious in both its scale and scope. Hen on the other hand is almost as far from that as possible. In the case of Hen we see a slower paced slice of life drama with comedic elements. The the setting is almost entirely limited to a high school, and the size and scope of the story is decidedly narrower.That being said, I feel the story had a lot of strengths for a work of this kind.  Hen is a series that was first serialized in Weekly Young Jump. The original run lasted from 1988 – 1992. So this series actually pre dates my birth, a fun fact which makes copies of this work a bit of a hassle to track down in English. Read More…

  I’ve been reading what a lot of what people think of the Evangelion series .while I re-watched it for the review and one thing stood out to me. I feel like Shinji Ikari gets a bad rap as a character. Everyone from the reviewers, the diehard fans, and even the voice actor that plays Shinji seem to hate this character. They hate the character for the same specific set of reasons. I have to say that a lot of this hatred, has been a bit undue. People see Shinji’s lack of willingness to pilot the Eva as annoying and childlike. People seem to lament at each one of his bad decisions. Let us not forget that Shinji is a child, in general children make bad choices. Let’s not even really talk about the fact that Shinji is for all intents and purposes an orphan. Instead of enjoying the formative years of adolescence Shinji is forced to murder repeatedly. For everyone saying that he didn’t murder anyone. Let us not forget that the Angels have souls, and the show goes through great lengths to show that humans and angels are fundamentally the same. This kid has quite a few deaths Read More…

I’m going to review what is essentially a new EP from Crimson  and EthniKids. Crimson who hails from the Bronx and Tallahassee’s own Julian Cruz have teamed up to deliver one of the most interesting groupings of music I’ve heard this year. Crimson, outspoken member of Capital 6 is known as an incredible lyricist. He just has a way of putting a lot of really big words into really tight rhyme schemes that flow off effortlessly. J. Cruz was introduced to me by outlawed beats. J. Cruz and the EthniKids(his production team) stood out immediately for me with high quality production and electronic influences. Based on both artists previous material, you wouldn’t really see these two coming together. They are both excellent artist but they seemed to occupy different niches of music. That would be my sentiment except for the fact that the last track I heard from Crimson with an heavy electronic influence was Throw it Down. This track remains to this day my favorite Crimson songs, so I had high hopes going into this project. . Low and behold after hearing a few rumblings about a release being in the work. We finally saw some of these tracks Read More…

I first met Buster Wolf in early 2015. He was ripping a show at Liberty Bar(one of the best venues in Tallahassee). What stood out to me immediately about Buster Wolf was his alternative style, his incredible breath control, his high energy, and his gamer influence.From talking to him I gathered that we had a lot of the same musical background. Like me Buster had a firm familiarity with the classic hip-hop albums like the Black Star, Like Water for Chocolate, and Low End Theory. Not only that, he was also familiar with  alternatives acts like Cannibal Ox and Doom. So when he told me that he didn’t have a proper full length it was a bit disappointing, but  he let me know he was in the process of making a project call Vejigante I was really looking forward to it. Being a man in a mask, we shared a dope conversation about masks. Apparently the Vejigante is a piece of Puerto Rican folklore represented by these brightly colored masks. So after seeing Buster Wolf open up for KRS-One I was given a “physical” copy of his album Vejigante . The album is on a really cool looking card USB Read More…

He was most defiantly blazing in there.Capital 6 was next to grace the stage and they ripped it. I feel like they had a sound issue for like the first four songs that made their vocal hard to hear, but it really didn’t matter they were so hype they shut shit down. The shit was dope, but I still had work to do taking pictures with people in the crowd and getting people to the merch table. In what I can only describe as disappointment when it was time for Makonnen to go on he actually said it was too early. So we all waited another thirty minutes for him to go on stage. We would Read More…

By the time we made it back, Fleetwood had arrived at the Moon. Now I could calm down a bit, all the members had made it to the venue and all we had left to do was wait. A few members of the crew went outside to get in there right mind. While I set up the merch table. Two years of working retail definitely comes in handy when you need to make a display. We were set up right next to the ATM so we weren’t having any of that I didn’t bring any money talk.

I feel like just yesterday I wrote the first one of these, but now its show day. The only word I can use to describe today is busy, and busy I was.I woke up 9 A.M. to start getting dressed for the show and finish the last blog post.This transitioned directly into me driving to Suchalosers place to pick him up so that we could pick up the loser lab shirts. On the way to pick up Suchaloser, I dropped Network off at the mall to go shop for clothes. Network would going to get a ride back with DJ Double G so I just left him there. The whole crew was supposed to ship out early, but no one was ready in time.   The shirts were literally printed on show day so we had to go get them. We had a hard deadline of Read More…

Y: The Last Man is a comic by Vertigo that was released September 2002 – March 2008. I recently picked it up and finished it based on a recommendation from my good friend Dom, he does great animations, curating, and interviews on his youtube channel. But back to the task at hand the Last man, as its name implies is a story about the last man alive on planet earth after some mysterious event called “The Plague” kills off every male mammal on the planet. The only surviving man on the planet is Yorick Brown, a relatively wimpy beta male who’s only skills are that of an escape artist (think David Blaine) and a wide knowledge of pop culture. He accompanied by a mysterious government agent named 355 and a scientist named Allison Mann as they travel a post apocalyptic world filled only with women. Presentation 10/10 The Artwork was excellent; the scenes are illustrated beautifully and the style stays very consistent throughout the work. That being said, I feel the coloring is really where I feel this comic shines. The colors tend to have this autumn feel to them and the lighting always seems to have this feeling of Read More…
