I am Mumako. I emerge from your dreams, and I fade into your dreams. Dreams are illusions of the heart. I will project your true self. I am Mumako, the enabler of your dreams. I am Mumako.
Fujiko Fujio A’s Mumako / 藤子不二雄Aの夢魔子 (1990)
Otakon 2017
Otakon 2017 happened smack dab in the middle of a bunch of non-anime stuff competing for my time (particularly watching the yearly gigantic DotA 2 tournament and playing the new Ace Attorney game that dropped in Japan both of which started about 10 days prior to the convention) so the timing was somewhat inconvenient for me.
Aim for the Ace! / エースをねらえ! (1979) or, Tennis of my Youth!
As much as I enjoy the actual reviews of classic anime, I also greatly enjoy the stories of how people managed to get their hands on some of these mysterious Jah-pur-nees cartoons back in the day. While I have no war stories about getting the last tape at the end of chain of VCRs, I thought it would be a neat exercise to include my own story here as I put down my thoughts on a movie I watched a four days ago: Aim for the Ace! (1979). This is less a review and more just my impressions on the film.
