Podcasts about nihei

Welcome to Mona Lisa Overpod, the show that asks the question "What is cyberpunk?" On each episode, hosts Ka1iban and author Lyda Morehouse dive into the genre that helped define sci-fi fiction in '80s and they break down its themes which remain relevant to our lives in the 21st century. Pull on your mirrorshades, jack into the matrix, and start your run with us today!Does cyberpunk storytelling require dialogue and exposition? Even more than mainstream sci-fi, the cyberpunk genre has complicated concepts and themes it needs to communicate to the reader. But Tsutomu Nihei's BLAME! defies convention with a taciturn protagonist and a silent world. An architect by training and a mangaka by trade, Nihei lets his intricate and somber illustrations drive the story of a lone wanderer in an impossibly gargantuan and hostile space.  In this episode, we discuss how the influences that shaped Nihei's work, the somber mood created by his detailed landscapes, the manga's liminal spaces, the story's unconscious criticism of conspicuous consumption, what defines a neo-cyberpunk tale, and the permeable boundaries of transhumanism. We also talk about gettin' Biblical, "worm-infected birds", the horse snack gap, Making BLAME! Great Again, adding more shoe leather, nemotopia, OMG poststructuralism, projected negativity, original flavor DNA, Wesley and the Drug Planet, coelacanths, treks and silence, and taking a trippy-trip through a strange land!YOU GOT BLAMED!The new edition of Lyda's book, Ressurection Code, is out now!https://wizardstowerpress.com/books-2/books-by-lyda-morehouse/resurrection-code/Join Kaliban on Twitch weekdays at 12pm for the Cyber Lunch Hour!http://twitch.tv/justenoughtropePut Just Enough Trope merch on your body!http://justenoughtrope.threadless.comMLOP is a part of the Just Enough Trope podcast network.

We're talking Tsutomu Nihei's 15-volume manga Knights of Sidonia (2009-2015) with fan favorite returning guest star, Wren Collier. The three of us being heavily influenced by Nihei, we take a deep dive into the evolution of his storytelling and art styles and try to get inside the head of the man himself. What is Nihei horny for besides architecture? Where'd all the shadows go, Picasso? How do we keep from becoming NPCs? (maybe that one's on the bonus episode... speaking of, patreon.com/agitator). We're doing things a bit differently starting with this one. There's a ton of rich content about the artist and the art on the free show, talmbout a full episode's worth of the good shit. And then on Agitator Z, Wren joins us to dive even further into auteurs with normie influences, AI art, representing scale in world-running, Nihei's attempts at humor and character development, and how to save humanity (for real, this one gets heavy). Also: Halo.

V dimensione oggi lascia l'attualità della Terra (forse) per migrare verso pianeti futuri, futuribili, futurissimi.Michele ci parla di come la fantascienza nipponica ha sviluppato il tema della crisi ecologica da Miyazaki a Nihei.Leonardo ci convince a leggere Dune, spiegandone trama, rilevanze e storia.

Desde que conheci o Nihei @vapeinjapan , sempre me perguntei: Como será que é ser um Vaper no Japão? E é claro que já conversamos ....

Sarina Nihei is a Japanese animation director and illustrator, though she might be the most westerner one. She graduated at Royal College of Art in London. Her graduation film 'Small People with Hats', won several prizes at festivals including OIAF, HAFF and British Animation Awards. We spent time together when she was hosted in the NiNoKo residency in Denmark.Specialising in hand-drawn animation, she makes dark tales and cynical short films, using simple pens and deep symbols.

Podcast review of Aposimz Volume 1 by Tsutomu Nihei

On this episode Seamus revisits Ōoku: The Inner Chambers but hates the early modern English translations, dakazu is sad that Musume no Iede(I’m a Runaway Girl) has ended, he talks about photoshopping Gundam models to create Moblie Suit Gundam Thunderbolt Gaiden, darfox comes for the cat but stays for the lesbian confessions of Watashi no Kawaii Koneko-chan(My Cute Little Kitten), and dakazu is fed up with the filler episodes of ATOM: THE BEGINNING! Then, with a heavy heart, we review the Netflix 3D anime adaptation of BLAME!. Listen as we complain about nearly everything, struggle to find positives things, and discuss what we would have wanted from this movie.

Time Codes: 00:00:29 - Introduction 00:02:37 - The holidays for Shea and Derek 00:04:30 - Listener mail! 00:11:24 - Tomie: Complete Deluxe Edition 00:55:39 - Blame! Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 01:19:12 - Wrap up 01:20:08 - Contact us It's the final manga episode of the year, and to close out 2016 Shea and Derek discuss a couple of fascinating new editions of older manga. But first they talk about their holiday activities with one another and then go on to share the listener mail they received about their November manga episode. After that, it's manga time! They begin with Junji Ito's Tomie: Complete Deluxe Edition (VIZ Media). This volume brings together all of the previous Tomie stories, initially released in three separate books. As listeners of the podcast may know, Shea and Derek are big fans of Junji Ito, but this is the first time either of the guys have read this series. They point out both the similarities and the differences between this text (especially the early stories) and later Ito works such as Uzumaki and Gyo. Shea is particularly taken by Ito's early, looser illustration style, while Derek focuses on the, at times, goofy scenarios surrounding Tomie. They're weirder than even the most unusual premises you'll find in Junji Ito. After that, the guys turn to Tsutomu Nihei's Blame! This series has also been previously published, but now Vertical Comics is releasing it in new master editions. The second volume was just published this month, and volume 3 is due out in March. So Shea and Derek limit their discussion to the story contained within these first two book. This is an action-heavy manga, and while this kind of graphic storytelling isn't one of Derek's favorites, it's something that Shea absolutely loves. But both guys appreciate the incremental world building and especially Nihei's astounding ability in representing The City, the vast post-apocalyptic landscape in which the story takes place. The bottom line is that both guys love the storyworld and plan to continue reading this series.

On this episode we welcome the return of the mangaka in Billy Bat, then we reach the ends of the Megastructure and Killy’s journey as we finish our Blame! retrospective and we give our final thoughts on the series and the cyber dungeon.(covers chapters 51-65)

Get ready for tales of a 40 year old slacker dad in I’ll Give It My All… Tomorrow, mysterious dream sequences in new chapters of Billy Bat, and the biggest appearance of characters with actual names in our penultimate discussion of Blame!!!!(covers chapters 38-50)

On this episode Seamus finds more teenage drama in orange, dakazu finds another cooking manga with single fathers in Papa to Oyaji to Uchi Gohan and then rants about the horror of Shiritsu Hakanai Gakuen(Hakanai Private High School; No Pants, No Problem). Then it’s another epic discussion of Blame! as we wrap up the Toha Heavy Industries arc and discuss the possible connection between Killy and Seu!!!(covers chapters 25-37)

This week we start off with a Billy Bat update hour, Seamus continues with Planetes, darfox and dakazu discuss the ending of the Blood Blockade Battlefront(Kekkai Sensen) anime, we talk about the One Punch Man anime, and end with a long recap of the next set of Blame! chapters in our Retrospective!!!(covers chapters 12-24)
