Puchi Eva: Evangelion@School

You might also want to have a look at Anno’s statement of intent. Am I alone in detecting a certain dissonance between aims and methods?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Join Live Japan and win prizes

A new campaign to get people living in Japan to entice others to visit has just started on the Japan National Tourist organisation website. Non-residents can enter too, and win prizes including hotel stays and tours in Japan.

Our final class tonight

I’m looking forward to this and sad about it at the same time. I’ve found some fabulous anime and hope to make our final class a real journey of discovery!

Welcome to the class blog!

This is the blog of the first-ever Workers’ Educational Association anime evening class, held in Central London on Tuesday. Class members and other interested parties can post comments on here anytime.

Helen McCarthy is leading the class and will moderate the blog. Notes, reading lists, viewing lists and links will be posted here.
