A slice of genuine old-school anime history comes to Crunchyroll today as Dallos, Japan’s first-ever Original Video Animation (OVA) is set to begin streaming at 2pm Pacific Time for Premium Members in the US and Canada.
Hailing from 1983, Dallos is an early work directed and co-created by Mamoru Oshii of Ghost in the Shell and Patlabor fame and is a must-see for anyone interested in science fiction and landmark anime…
Story
Shun Nonomura is a young man out of Monopolis, a sprawling miner's colony on the lunar surface. His people mine helium-3 and other essentials for Earth, but in the late 21st century, Earth's resources are depleted and the planetary government has resorted to authoritarian rule to get what they want. As the put-upon miners - including Shun's own family and friends - start to organize a revolt, they come under attack from Earth's new lunar commander: Alex Rigel, a military man unafraid to use force to put down the uprising.
As Shun's idealism and Alex's chilly pragmatism clash, Monopolis is thrown into chaos. The last, best hope for victory lies within a mysterious alien artifact that the lunarians worship as a god: Dallos!

Oliver briefly explores some of the more famous Japanese mascots, including Funassyi and Kumamon, and he also touches on how mascots can be big business in Japan, as well as some of the problems faced by the proliferation of official and unofficial yuru-chara. He also suggests some possible mascots of his own invention.

ABC has done the right thing and renewed Agent Carter for a second season. This is all we really wanted from the giant pile of renewal announcements we’ve gotten so far.
More reports on the weekend box office of May 2-3 in Japan have arrived. Although it lost the opening weekend battle, the 19th Detective Conan film, Sunflowers of Inferno, has earned more than its strongest competitor, Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection of F.
In its first weekend of April 18-19, Conan took second place with 874,762,300 yen, only behind DBZ with 960,586,350 yen. But in the second weekend when Disney's Cinderella easily took the top, DBZ dropped to third, while Conan hanged onto second. They kept the same positions in the third weekend.
By May 6, Conan had earned 3.5 billion yen with 2.82 million ticket sales, and DBZ had grossed 3.1 billion yen on 2.36 million admissions. The former is expected to soon become the highest grossing Conan film passing the previous record of 4.11 billion yen by the last year's Dimensional Sniper. As reported, the latter has already surpassed the total theatrical revenue of the previous DBZ film Battle
of Gods in 2013, 2.9 billion yen.
