This was originally just a section in my links page. I was worried that it was getting too long, so I decided to house it on its own page instead. Have fun surfing the web!


  • Legend of the Glorio Heroes
    • A podcast that chronicles the reactions of two guys watching Legend of the Galactic Heroes for the first time. Both funny and insightful, this podcast is a treat for any LoGH fan.
  • Cyborg 009: The Long Road to an Ending
    • An amazing write-up on the history of the Cyborg 009 manga and the struggles of its creator to conclude it. Even if you aren't a Cyborg 009 fan, I highly suggest reading this article as a cautionary tale about giving into the pressure of others.
  • The Fukui Ei’ichi Incident and the Prehistory of Komaga-Gekiga
    • A very interesting article about Tezuka's (most notable for pioneering the post War World II manga industry) petty squabble with fellow mangaka Fukui Ei’ichi (creator of Igaguri-kun and Bat Kid) and how it led to the techniques commonly found in many proto-Gekiga manga. It also touches on the events that transpired after Ei’ichi's death.
  • Teeaboo
    • Makes reaction and analysis videos on many anime & manga series. My favorite is his Odd Taxi reaction series.
  • Kazuhiko Shimamoto's Zekkyo University
    • Mangaka Kazuhiko Shimamoto's (creator of Blue Blazes and Burning Transfer Student) Youtube channel where he talks about random shit for an hour (technically two hours if you become a channel member! You can pay to watch this man talk about things!!). I'm so obsessed with his enthusiam. He's in his 60's but he has the energy of a young adult, it's so awesome. Unfortunately, none of his videos have english subtitles.

  • Jonny Kennedy: The Man Whose Skin Fell Off
