LEGENDARY MANGA ARTIST MASASHI KISHIMOTO TO MAKE FIRST INTERNATIONAL APPEARANCE AT NEW YORK COMIC CON AND
NEW YORK SUPER WEEK

Creator of Naruto to Participate in Two Panels and Multiple Autograph Sessions at
East Coast’s Biggest Pop Culture Convention

NORWALK, CT – May 5, 2015 – ReedPOP, the world’s largest producer of pop culture events and producers of New York Comic Con, today announced that renowned manga artist Masashi Kishimoto, creator of Naruto, one of the most successful manga properties on the planet, will be appearing at New York Comic Con and New York Super Week. In what will be his first ever international appearance outside of Japan, Kishimoto will take part in two panels and multiple autograph sessions, giving fans unprecedented access. His panels will take place on Thursday, October 8 and Saturday, October 10 during New York Comic Con. He will also host autograph sessions at Kinokuniya Bookstore and Barnes & Noble as part of New York Super Week. Masashi Kishimoto is appearing at New York Comic Con with the support of VIZ Media.

Kishimoto was born in 1974 in rural Okayama Prefecture, Japan. His first version of Naruto, drawn in 1997, was a one-shot story about fox spirits; his final version, which debuted in Weekly Shonen Jump in 1999, quickly became the most popular ninja manga in the world. The series spawned multiple anime series, movies, novels, video games and more. Having concluded the series in late 2014, he has kept himself busy with the sidestory Naruto: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring and with writing the story for the latest Naruto movie, both of which will focus on the title character’s son, Boruto. Naruto is published in North America by VIZ Media.

“Kishimoto is one of the biggest names in manga and a major influence on artists across the globe,” said Lance Fensterman, global senior vice president of ReedPOP. “We’re thrilled to have him added to our lineup this year and think fans are going to love the chance to get close to an icon.”

New York Comic Con, the crown jewel of New York Super Week, will take place October 8-11 at the Javits Center. The show is the East Coast's biggest and most exciting popular culture convention with the latest and greatest in comics, graphic novels, anime, manga, video games, toys, movies and television. The show’s panels and autograph sessions give fans a chance to interact with their favorite creators, while screening rooms feature sneak peeks at films and television shows months before they hit either big or small screens. New York Comic Con is the second largest pop culture convention in America and the only one that takes place in the comic book, publishing, media and licensing capital of the world — Gotham City.

Additional exciting details about New York Comic Con and New York Super Week events, talent and sponsors will be announced in the coming weeks. For more information, please visit www.NewYorkComicCon.com and www.NewYorkSuperWeek.com.

Women of Anime: Re-L

This month at Otakus and Geeks we're showing love to the ladies of anime. All month love we will talk about our favorite ladies from anime. To kick things off we head into the futuristic domed city of Romdeau  with the anime "Ergo Proxy." The character is Re-L.  One thing that I love about Re-L is she is one tough cookie. When we are first introduce to Re-L you can tell she's not your typical anime girl. Re-L is cold, seems to void of emotion and is hellbent about her mission on the job.  Re-L is a character that I feel a lot of women will be a fan of. She is designed realistic, she's intelligent, she is goal oriented. She is a woman with many different layers. While Re-L is very driven, intelligent and goal oriented she is very flawed. Re-L tends to be quick tempered, a perfectionist and downright cold hearted. This leaves her interaction with characters on the show to view her as a control freak. But pull back the layers and you see Re-L is a very compassionate person. 

Here is a brief history on Re-L via Wiki

An inspector of the Citizen Intelligence Bureau (市民情報局 Shimin Jōhōkyoku?). She is in charge of investigating a series of brutal murders apparently committed by AutoReivs infected with the Cogito virus. She is also the granddaughter of Donov Mayer, the Regent of Romdeau. Given her privileged status, she expects respect from people around her, and speaks as such (she addresses Vincent as "o-mae"). Re-l accompanies Vincent on his journey in order to learn more about the mysterious Proxies.

 

New Dragonball Anime Series Coming in July

It's been 18 years, since a Dragonball series came to the small screen. Otakus today I'm happy to tell you, Dragonball Super will be coming in July. The series will take place a few years after the Buu Saga. Fans in the states will get a taste of the new film Resurrection later this year. The new series will debut in Japan in July on Sundays at 9:00 am on Fuji TV. More details will be announced as the premiere approaches. My question is this going to erase Dragonball GT since many consider GT not cannon.

Another Five Annoying Anime Cliches

About three years ago I wrote two articles listing my hated cliches in anime. As I started watching anime even more, I can't help but nitpick things I keep seeing.  These cliches are annoying to a lot of otakus with the new school anime. Tell me what you think otakus about this cliches in the comment section.

1. High School Location and Kids - I don't know about you readers, but lately it seems that all anime characters are in High School or Junior High. The main characters usually range from 14 - 18. For me this is limiting story chances that an adult might experience compare to a child. The kids usually deal with High School drama like winning the girl, dealing with a sports team, having a class rep etc. Depending on the genre there is usually some melodrama element like being an orphan in the mix. In the old days of anime we had adult characters with adult situations. Why can't I have a slice of life anime that focuses on the challenges of marriage? It just seems like anime is becoming more focus on the younger crowd. I love a good High School story but I want the return of some adult story and action.

2. The Alien Invasion -  I see this a lot of in mech anime shows. Anytime an alien race is introduce it's usually to take over the world or destroy something. To me there is plently of ways to introduce a hostile alien race. It doesn't always have to be all out violence from the beginning. Make the alien  smart by trying to use diplomacy instead of violence. Or have them come in peace and then go have them go nuts. Change the motives of the alien race from time to time. The alien race usually destroys a city, the hero family dies and he is chosen one to take them down. If the alien invasion is going to be use , have it be refreshing or take an old story and put your spin on it. I love mech but the whole invasion angle is tiresome.

3. We're Just Friends - I touched on this in the first write up about cliches. However that was regarding characters taking too long to say I love you. This is about the dense character is truly blind to the feelings being sent. I'm seeing this cliche on my favorite anime shows of the 2015. Is It Wrong To Try To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon?  The main character Bell is oblivious to the feelings his friend has for him. She sends him countless sighs, like wearing sexy outfits, saying the truth in joke form etc. He still doesn't get it. I know they're going for that tension element, but it's over use. Instead how about we get the reveal in the first episode. Then explore the consequences of the answer. I think that will be very interesting to see.

4. The Virgins - This one might be controversial for some. However this is really an add on to number one. I'm tired of the virgins in anime. The most cliche romantic gesture in anime is the perv technique. Don't look at my boobs you pervert. The guy walks into the girl getting in the shower etc. Their both shy about their body. Reason I like more adult situations and adult characters because it avoids these constant cliches. I don't want to see any sex scenes etc. I just want my characters to get rid of this overused element. 

5. The Quiet Girl - Don't you find the quiet anime girl with big boobs, voice is so soft and low annoying? I see this in so many high school anime shows. The quiet girl usually has some dark past or a huge secret that won't be revealed till mid season. Personally I get frustrated watching a character like this. Mainly because the reveal doesn't pay off, or you know from the beginning something is off with the character. It will be more believable if the character was out in the open and keeps a secret to throw off the scent.
