Potluck: Trying to Catch Up

May 12, 2007 in Potluck by Tom Langston (calaggie) | No comments

Okay, I know I haven’t made a post in a couple weeks but I am not dead. I was just busy with school and distracted by many things like a trial subscription to Blockbuster Online. Also I didn’t have much inspiration to write about anything in particular. Hopefully there will be a flurry of manga postings over the next week as I try to get as close to finishing the Buncha Manga project as I can before next Saturday.

For those of you who care, my panel at Fanime will be Saturday at 1pm in Panels room #1 (aka the Santa Clara room) at the Hilton Hotel. Some of the other panels I am interested in checking out are Blogs and Anime Popularity (the other blogging one with Lolikit), Mad About MADs, and of course the industry panels. Apparently, there will be a maid cafe as well so I’ll try to stop by and take pictures.

Also, something from the May 11th edition of the Anime Corner Store newsletter caught my eye:

- TOUKA GETTAN ANIME AIRING EPISODES IN REVERSE ORDER -
The creators of the Touka Gettan supernatural anime series have acknowledged on their blog that the twenty-six episodes have been airing in deliberate reverse order from the chronological story. The first episode (which aired on April 2) told the ending of the story arc, and each successive episode has been going backward in time to tell how the ending came about.

I haven’t seen Touka Gettan yet so can anyone confirm that that the ordering is like that and if it works as a narrative device?
