let's anime: prince planet chewing gum
http://letsanime.blogspot.com/2007/07/prince-planet-chewing-gum.html
Thursday, July 5, 2007. Prince planet chewing gum. This is an ad for Usei Shonen Papi (Prince Planet to me! Chewing gum from a 1965 issue of SHONEN MAGAZINE. This gum came with all sorts of great Papi merchandise and some of the sticks of gum had Papi art printed actually on the gum, with non-toxic ink I hope. Glico knew how to market gum then! November 2, 2007 at 4:15 AM. I have all these Prince Planet episodes in English except for four of them.#3 #5 and a couple more. October 4, 2009 at 3:57 PM.

let's anime: book report
http://letsanime.blogspot.com/2010/03/book-report.html
Friday, March 12, 2010. MANGA KAMISHIBAI: THE ART OF JAPANESE PAPER THEATER. Eric P. Nash. Harry N. Abrams, 2009. I saw the figure BYIIIIN in gold. Even a kamishibai Batman couldn’t save the medium. Kintaro and animal chums fight the evil colonialists. Today a few remaining kamishibai ply their trade as a historical re-enactment of sorts, a cultural touchstone in a Japan that embraces the past as strongly as it dreams of the future. As the Showa Era becomes the idealized past of a generation, the pap...

let's anime: September 2014
http://letsanime.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 23, 2014. Our 20th Anime Weekend Atlanta. It's that time of year again, when my already slow blogging pace slows down to a crawl and everybody starts wondering what happened. Well, what happened is what happens every year around this time, it's AWA, the anime con we started 20 years ago in a cut-rate hotel in an iffy part of town. This year's convention is jam packed with guests and excitement. What am I up to at AWA? Well, Thursday night there's the Super Happy Fun Sell. I'll be doing...

let's anime: your anime north 2015 schedule
http://letsanime.blogspot.com/2015/05/your-anime-north-2015-schedule.html
Monday, May 11, 2015. Your anime north 2015 schedule. It's that time of year again and it means I've been spending important anime-blogging time working on presentations for Anime North! If you're in the area and had the forethought to pick up your admission before they all sold out - yeah, they cap the membership, and they need to because this con is huge - then why not drop my one of these events I'm involved in eventing? When 3pm rolls around that means it's time for Mister Kitty's Stupid Comics, as S...

let's anime: May 2014
http://letsanime.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 16, 2014. Yes gang, it's time once again for Canada's pre-eminent Japanese cartoon festival, Anime North. And for me that means doing some panels and events, and THAT means a lot of time assembling clips and researching things and finding out when people are coming in to town and who can bring me Moon Pies. What am I up to next week? That sparked all this discussion. At 2pm Shaindle Minuk, Neil Nadelman, and myself will have some Candy! And Sunday at 2 I'll be taking everyone on a trip throug...

let's anime: August 2014
http://letsanime.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 2, 2014. I had a bunch of images that for whatever reason didn't make it into last time's Candy Candy post. In the weeks since posting the article, I also found some more interesting Candy imagery out in the hinterlands. So, in the interests of completeness, here's some more Candy Candy. I completely neglected to show any of Igarashi's original Candy Candy manga artwork, a mistake I'm now making right to the best of my ability, with my beat-up used edition of volume 8. The French and Ita...

let's anime: pledge your support
http://letsanime.blogspot.com/2015/06/pledge-your-support.html
Wednesday, June 24, 2015. As many of you know, when I'm not writing about classic anime here at Let's Anime (which, admittedly, is most of the time), I'm usually working on something at Mister Kitty. Which is the website myself and my wife Shain Minuk set up some years back to host our own original comics and to feature attractions like our popular "Stupid Comics" page. Well, the big news is that Shain has taken the big 21st century crowdfunding step and has started a Kickstarter campaign. Subscribe to: ...

let's anime: June 2014
http://letsanime.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 17, 2014. The return of prince planet manga. Remember a couple years back when we posted some translated pages of Yusei Shonen Papii (aka Prince Planet) manga from the 1960s. Remember how those pages were scanned out of a tattered, yellowing 1965 issue of Kobunsha's Shonen and we figured we'd never see any more Prince Planet manga? Well, we were wrong. Recently Japan's manga industry smiled on us and released a two-volume set of Yusei Shonen Papii manga. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The less...
