I am completely obsessed right now with Eden of the East !!! It's like The Bourne Identity: the Animation, haha. They talk about 9/11 and Ground Zero a lot, so it's kinda treading in places not many anime have gone before... though as a big fan of Rescue Me, it's not my first time encountering a fictional-work that was based on a story centered around the disaster. I think what I love most about Eden of the East is that the OP theme is performed by OASIS. Yeah, who knew that band was even still together? Kick-ass song. I posted a copy of the opening on youtube...

the rest of this post you can ignore, unless you want to see how busy I've been over the past 3 years. It's a list of links to all the anime reviews, convention reviews, and culture articles I've written for anime-source.com. I also had a review published on the AnimeNewsNetwork, but I don't remember where it was and I'm too lazy to look it up. Anyway, I posted this list mainly as a way to increase our link-pressence on outside networks, heehee. I'm a whore... but at least I'm an industrious whore. I'll post an update on my life in Japan in a bit.
