Twenty-five years ago today, Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged in New York arrived on CD, cassette and VHS tape. By then, Kurt Cobain had been dead nearly seven months, and the appearance of this largely acoustic performance, taped nearly a year before, took on the feel of a memorial service. That mood wasn’t reflected simply in the look of the stage – which, with its flowers and candles, eerily evoked the “funeral” scenario Cobain was aiming for – but also in the toned-down performances of “All Apologies,...

boys and their toys... i mean, superpowers.
How often do you have random streaming adventures where you watch something you've literally never heard of? This week on Netflix I caught a new Japanese flick called Bleach (2018) though for the life of me I can't figure out what the title means. It's one of those movies that's 1000% obviously based on a manga because it throws lots of random names, superpowers, and world-building terms and rules at you and assumes you'll be able to keep up. But nowhere in the entire picture does the word "bleach" factor in. I've turned it over and over in my head and unless I blinked during a crucial subtitle the title makes no sense whatsoever.
It was a fun popcorn watch but I had to share one moment near the beginning that had me howling...

In February 1993, Nirvana made their way to the secluded Pachyderm Studios in Cannon Falls, Minnesota, to begin work on their third album. The last time they had stepped foot in a studio, they were a little known Seattle band that had just left Sub Pop for David Geffen’s Dgc. Now, with a multiplatinum album that knocked Michael Jackson off the charts and turned them into one of the biggest rock bands on the planet, they were under immense pressure to follow it up. “If there was a Rock Star 101 course,...

In the plethora of anime/manga adaptations that have flooded Japanese cinema (to say the least) during the latest years, “Bleach” was definitely one of the most eagerly expected. At the same time though, Tite Kubo’s work is one of the most difficult titles to be adapted as a live-action movie, not only for the grandiose battles and the extreme general setting, but also due to the plethora of characters and the number of episodes that form a rather complicate story. On the other hand, the presence of Shinsuke Sato on the helm, whose adaptations of “Gantz”, “I Am a Hero” and “Inuyashiki” were quite good, was definitely a good sign. Let us see what prevailed in the end, though.
Expectantly, the story is a bit altered, in order to fit the medium, although the basic premises remain. Ichigo Kurosaki is a teenager from Karakura Town, whose mother’s...

Ah, movies. Remember those, Netflix viewers? Because why binge every episode of “Queer Eye” when you could do a “Black Panther,” “Spider-Man 3,” and “The Breakfast Club” triple-header? It would take just as much time and be much more educational.
All three are heading to the streaming giant next month, along with “The Cider House Rules,” “A Wrinkle in Time,” and “Groundhog Day.” Netflix gets into the comedy game with originals, including Sanaa Lathan in “Nappily Ever After” and “Sierra Burgess Is A Loser,” starring Shannon Purser of “Stranger Things” and “Riverdale” fame. Rashida Jones makes her directorial debut next month with “Quincy,” the definitive documentary about her legendary father, Quincy Jones.

Years ago, we had the big 3 of Shonen anime. Naruto, Bleach and One Piece. Now there seems to be a new big 3 for the new generation of anime viewers and that would be One Piece, My Hero Academia and the subject of this review: Black Clover… or at least it hopes to be.
Black Clover takes place in a world full of magic and in this world, we focus on two characters: Asta and Yuno. Asta is the hyperactive, head-strong and passionate character but has no access to any magic…at least not in the traditional sense. Yuno is cool, calm and collected and is practically an ace magic user who only seems to excel at whatever he does. However, they both share a dream of becoming the Wizard King so they’re rivals as well as childhood friends. Judging from the 10 episodes I’ve seen, the premise is that...

In the crowded world of movie adaptations of Japanese manga, Director Sato Shinsuke has carved a high place for himself, helming critically-lauded live-action versions of Gantz, I Am A Hero, 2016’s Death Note, and Inuyashiki. Sato-san set himself quite a challenge by taking on the immense world of Kubo Tite’s fan-favourite, Bleach, the story of a not-quite-average 15-year-old boy who sees dead people. At Japan Cuts' Us premiere of Bleach, Director Sato spoke with Lmd about supernatural samurais, CGI, and giving the fans what they want. The Lady Miz Diva: Director Sato, I’ve asked other filmmakers who’ve adapted manga about adapting Bleach, and every one of them said it would be “too hard.” What made you take up the challenge?

It's not often that I review family friendly melodramas. However, there was one at Fantasia 2018 that stood out, and I just couldn't resist. The Travelling Cat Chronicles from director Kôichirô Miki is based on the bestselling pet-lit book by Hiro Arikawa; if you were unaware of the novel, or haven't read it (like myself), this film adaptation will pique your interest. Watch the trailer over at the film's Fantasia page here. Right from the start, The Travelling Cat Chronicles tugs at the heartstrings with a wounded kitty and the gushing empathy of the protagonist Satoru. Satoru goes on a trip through Japan as he visits...

Bucking a decade-long box office trend toward local films, Hollywood dominated the Japanese movie-going in the first half of 2018. But the respite in the world’s number three theatrical market may not last.
The number one and two films for the January-June period, “Detective Conan: Zero the Enforcer” ($76 million) and “Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s Treasure Island” ($47 million), were local and the new entries in long-running anime series. Counting the $34 million for number five “Shoplifters,” Hirokazu Kore-eda’s Palme-d’Or-winning family drama, Japanese films in the top ten earned a total of $157 million. That compares with the $209 million earned by the seven Hollywood films in the top ten.
Hollywood’s successes were an eclectic bunch. Fox’s “The Greatest Showman” beat any of the franchise titles, earning $48 million. “The Boss Baby” earned $30.7 million for Toho-Towa, making Japan the number two international result for the Fox comedy.

It’s good to be a cinephile in New York City. Every summer — just when it seems like all of the most anticipated blockbusters have already come and gone, and the dog days of August are beginning to bark at the door — a string of incredible film series arrives to tide us over until the fall. Two of those events have become inextricably knotted together, The New York Asian Film Festival and Japan Cuts transforming July into a month-long celebration of Asian cinema.
And while the festivals once fed into each other and co-presented certain screenings, Japan Cuts has grown into an annual institution that’s more than capable of standing on its own. Sold-out screenings of explosive new films, bonafide classics, cult oddities, and numerous cat-based adventures (shout out to the legendary “Neko Samurai”) have made it into a fixture of the city’s film scene.

Now in its 12th year, Japan Cuts continues to grow as the largest festival of contemporary Japanese cinema in North America. Bringing a wide range of the best and hardest-to-see films made in and around Japan today — from blockbusters, independent productions and anime, to documentaries, avant-garde works, short films, and new restorations — Japan Cuts is the place to experience Japan’s dynamic film culture in New York City. Like every year, this thrilling 10-day festival offers exclusive premieres, special guest filmmakers and stars, fun-filled parties, live music and more! Tickets are on-sale now!
The festival programmers Aiko Masubuchi, Kazu Watanabe and Joel Neville Andersonhave highlighted in a note that “perhaps most strikingly, the struggle for dignity and individual rights reverberates throughout the lineup—including Lgbtq advocacy (“Of Love & Law”), reparations for government abuse (“Sennan Asbestos Disaster”) or the plight of refugees (“Passage of Life”).

The trailer was released by Warner Bros. Japan and it's completely in Japanese, but if you're familiar with the source material, then you still might enjoy it.

A month after a long-lost Beatles Christmas record arrived on YouTube, another rare piece of music history has shown up on the world's top video site. John Purkey, a friend of Kurt Cobain's has uploaded four early Nirvana demos, which he had previously kept stowed away for years.
The demos date back to 1988, and they feature early versions of songs that would eventually appear on Nirvana's debut album Bleach, which was initially released in 1989. In the comment sections of Purkey's videos, Nirvana diehards have discussed the numerous differences between the demo versions of particular tracks and their album counterparts.
In a video accompanying his four uploads, Purkey talks about the history of the demos, which were nearly wiped out due to storm damage from a monsoon. Ultimately, Purkey decided to sell his Nirvana tapes to a collector, who can keep it safe. "It feels good not to have to worry about that stuff anymore,...

The Bleach anime ended in 2012 with the end of the Fullbringer Arc which is a shame because the 1000 Year Blood War Arc was fantastic, but didn’t finish in the manga until 2016. This 4-year gap would’ve just led to more filler which is annoying. I hate filler seasons with a passion. They’re pointless and don't contribute to the story. Whenever I watch Bleach, I make sure to skip the Bount Arc and the Zanpakuto Arc and any other filler storylines because they slow down the show. That being said, if you avoid the filler episodes like I do, Bleach is a great anime. Yes, the plot gets convoluted a little and it suffers from a serious case of only-the-protagonist-can-do-anything as well as a bigger case of the villain-started-out-well-thought-out-but-then-we-made-him-too-powerful syndrome that happens in a lot of anime. However, because the anime ended before the manga, we were never treated...

Tite Kubo is the man behind Bleach which is a great manga, albeit one of the most convoluted stories I’ve ever read. Back in 2003, he did an interview where we learned that he had a deep love and appreciation for Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z which were created by Akira Toriyama. He even mentions how the villains are “incredibly cool.”
.I don’t mean that I disliked the heroes’ side. I just liked the villains. Starting with the aforementioned Tao Pai-pai, Chiaotzu, Piccolo, Raditz, Vegeta, Nappa, Zarbon, Dodoria, Ginyu, Recoom, and of course, Freeza… Once you start writing the names, there’s no end. It’d be harder to find a villain that I dislike.
Pretty much all of them had a screwy aspect to their personalities, but that just made their strength and their fearsomeness stand out all the more (the biggest collection...

Tite Kubo is the creator of the hit manga and anime Bleach. It’s one of the most convoluted stories with one of the most overpowered main characters, but I still love it. I’ve read the entire manga and watched the anime (except for the filler arcs because filler is dumb). A few months ago we were even given a teaser at the live action film being developed in Japan. According to Anime Mojo, Kubo recently talked on a radio show about shutting down Hollywood’s plans for a Bleach film because it “didn’t sit well with him.” However, in that same radio show, Kubo said, “For the Japanese live-action version, I feel that we have come close to the original work[.] I am really looking forward to it."
That gives me a little bit of hope that this won’t be a flop since Kubo does seem...
