Happy Sunday All!
Biggest news of the past week is the site "overhaul." Both SunfallE and Katana now have their buttons up and also note the new avatar! We are now the knights of the written word! Now onto the future!
Ada Pallas's works in progress:
- Her article on Osamu Tezuka (or Tezuka Osamu if you like) is finished and is currently being edited. Depending on when Dagger releases the article it will be up sometime this week.
- A review/analysis of the manga
Ghost Hunt is still in production.
- A review/analysis of the anime/manga
Bastard! will be coming once Ada gets all the mangas.
Bellpickle's works in progress:
- Her article on L from
Death Note is still coming and with the buzz surrounding the upcoming movie it's eagerly awaited.
- An analysis of the corresponding themes between the two series
Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo and
Rose of Versailles.
SunfallE's works in progress:
- An article for the
Rurouni Kenshin series about the sword techniques used in the show (which sounds just plain cool).
- Reviews for both
Ronin Warriors and the series
Zenki.
- A review/article on the manga
Eerie Queerie is being planned.
Katana's works in progress:
- An article exploring the history of Adult Swim, which, although featuring anime, will also include some of their cartoon tidbits. Let's hope it mentions the bumps!
- Dub vs. Mutilation - a sorta analysis of the 4Kids interviews and answering the question what seperates a dub from a true disaster zone.
Shinikiro's works in progress:
Let's just say she's very hard at work but for now what's she's working on is a secret (shhhhh) ^^ Don't worry, you'll love what she has when it comes out.
Snow Fox's works in progress:
- Miso Soup for the Otaku Soul, Vol. 2. It'll follow the same format of the first one, but this one will essentially be a nostalgia-inducer for the veteran anime-viewer, and a basic guide for those who haven't yet decided whether or not they like anime.
- Several (approximately 4) articles about
Paranoia Agent are in the (very slow) works. Currently, they're all in various stages of pre-development. She is waiting for a break from school to review the anime.
Tical's works in progress:
hn . . .
Collaborations in progress:
- "Formula 4" A look at animes that use this formula and why. Ada Pallas is heading this collab so it should get going once she gets off her duff and circulates what she has to the other SOAP members. This article will make assumptions on archtypes and then apply them to the animes and mangas.
- A Saiyuki article which revolves around how and why the manga differs from the anime is also in start up phases and is meant to be a collab between Shinkiro and Ada Pallas. This puppy may seperate in more then one article depending on how much of their inner fangirl these two channel. Also, this collab in particular might take a while to produce especially since Ada is the one heading this one up, too.
And that's all. Whew, with the members list growing these posts are getting long! But hey, that's what this club is all about!
See next week . . . same time, same place. ^^
