I know I am jumping the gun by claiming that this event is the ‘Party of the Year’ in June, but that is exactly how I feel, and really still feeling. MadFest Brisbane 2018 has left the greatest impression on me. It was such an incredible convention that because I was so busy having fun, […]
Hello Japandaman Fam! So, you might have noticed that the site has been rather….quiet of late. To be completely honest with you all we have just been incredibly busy in our every day lives (doing our jobs, etc) that we have somewhat neglected the site. But that is going to change. From this week I […]
Ever watch an anime and felt like questioning your own personal existence? I felt like that just recently watching ‘Kokoro Connect’ So a couple of nights ago I was scanning through the dub catalogue on ‘HiDive’ the new anime streaming service from Sentai Filmworks that has hit the scene and I was curious to see […]
Just in case you missed it on the front page, and all the other pages on the right hand column, Japandaman is now on Patreon! Don’t worry, we’re not asking for a lot and we won’t start charging for content. It’s all about showing us some appreciation and saying thank you by parting with $1…that’s […]
Late one evening I got extremely frustrated thinking ‘What articles could I possibly come up with for Japandaman?’ I was struggling to find my writing muse and I was somewhat getting tired of reading reviews of the latest anime that hasn’t even been out for three weeks. Already the ‘experts’ are chiming in claiming what […]
If you are an anime fan there is no doubt that we are living in what I would consider ‘the Golden era’. We are currently living in the time where we are able to access all the latest and greatest anime directly from Japan. Thanks to the wonders of technology and streaming platforms gone are […]
I must admit, I found the anime that was offered to us this past anime season to be stale and dry. Not many shows managed to capture my interest and keep me invested throughout the whole series, except one. ‘Kuzu No Honkai’ or otherwise known as ‘Scums Wish’ was without a doubt the best anime […]
I have this site I’ve been running for a while now and one thing I never really do is use it as a platform to blog about me, Japandaman. I’m always writing about the crazy, cool and otaku stuff that I love about Japan but I never talk about me. I think I’m going to […]
Japan’s Electronic Explorers Beyond simply witnessing more and more advertising for mobile games, we may start to notice a much larger trend. The fact that the developers of viral game titles, with expensive launches and run-up marketing campaigns, are starting to resemble blockbuster film studios (and also can earn comparably massive profits) belies the larger […]
So I managed to get my hands on a copy of the latest offering from Square Enix, Final Fantasy Explorers. I’ll be honest, I bought it because everyone was saying hard it was to find in stores and I didn’t want to miss out. Also, unless you pre-ordered, stock was very low across all stores. […]
