A blog that will cure your apathy and inspire your dreams...
Warning: All who watch anime, play video games, like J-music and K-music, and the like... ARE OTAKU!
Blast From the Past Remix - "Sobakasu" Jazz Version!
Hey Guys, remember Kenshin the Wandering Samurai!? Well, the guys at Platina Jazz made an amazing remix of the first opening "Sobakasu" that you should really check out! They take the light hearted nature of a Rounin-style opening and give it some 30's western flavor. Let me know if the ragtime interlude gives you chills! What I wouldn't give to hear them in concert...!
It's amazing that Kenshin was like DBZ or One Piece during the 1990's as a Shounen Jump excerpt in Japanese culture... If you think about it, a lot of otaku culture and just random Japanese stuff was influenced by Kenshin :o
This blog, "The Otaku Reviewers", was started in February of 2010 on this very same platform, Blogger. At first, it was a venture into the informational and informal world of comics, anime, video games, and Japanese culture. In other words, just a random blog.
Over time, the founder of the blog credited with the pseudonym "RPGhero" was joined by two fellow bloggers and friends with the names "Chansu" and "Deretsun". Together the three bloggers looked up interesting Japanese culture facts, recommended new anime, talked about their own "otaku" interests, and traveled across the United States to various anime conventions.
There have been off periods when the blog ceased production of content and there have been times when there would be dozens of blog posts per week. The schedule varies depending on the lives of the people behind the alias'. However the pattern is that we always get back into the game with even newer information about Japanese culture, anime, video games, and other nerdy hobbies.
The motto of our blog is:
"A cure for your apathy and an inspiration for your dreams. ...Applies to Otaku, anime fans, J-pop junkies, and the like"
The purpose is to blog about cool stuff related solely to anime and otaku stuff. There's no other reason we're doing this.
If you like our blog, please support us in however small a way that you would like. We appreciate our readers!
I was reading my Kenshin profiles book earlier today too, but after you posted this...!
