    One of the best things about anime and manga is the sheer level of imagination of offer. While fantasy and the supernatural certainly hold an important part in our hearts, today we want to talk about technology.

Mechas Probably the most obvious choice, but that doesn’t mean the idea is any less appealing. Giant fighting mechs like Gundam have been a staple of anime and manga for generations, and we’ve always loved the idea of being to pilot one for ourselves.

We’d really have to worry about accidentally

    The Twitterverse has been constantly aflame over the past few weeks following the slew of announcements from the streaming giant Netflix regarding their planned re-boots and remakes of Japanese anime classics. Some of the most well-known and critically acclaimed anime classics in history, from the 1998 anime classic COWBOY BEBOP to the action series NEON GENESIS EVANGELION, have all been slated for remakes by Netflix, who have reportedly recruited many of the shows` original producers to help consult on the projects.

It`s not just the language difference and the need for localization - Japanese narrative styles mean that developers in the east have a different idea of what a plot needs to include to be entertaining. This was explored in a recent Gamasutra article that compared Japanese and Western narrative styles in video games. Writer Emma Rausch explained that Japanese studios like to use visual clues such as the giant exclamation mark that shows when guards are alerted in Metal Gear Solid, and some incorporate elements from manga (Japanese graphic novels) and Kabuki theatre as well. However, one of the biggest Japanese narrative themes that we see (and one that will stand out to most gamers) is that Japanese games make players feel part
