In what sounds like a plot to a great unexpected hit anime, Greg Robic of Toronto studied the Rakugo, a kind of humorous storytelling art that mixes original and traditional work. Now he’s on tour. His stage name is Katsura Sunshine, which really has “Manga title” all over it.
Now this is following your passion, learning your trade, and doing something with it.
He’s on tour. I’m hoping for a video.

There will be a sequel to Sharknado, that oddball film that burned up social media while kicking science in the groin.
This gets The Asylum and their mockbusters, derivatives, and weird b-movies even more attention. I swear they’re in serious danger of going legit – and frankly jokes aside films like these provide a place to get experience, build a career, re-establish a career, etc. Just with sharks in Tornados.
If you can’t wait, here’s some suggestions for a sequel. I’m partial to “Sharkalance.”

It seems like the last few weeks we’ve been discussing the potential of a Hollywood meltdown. Admittedly with Spielberg starts talking disaster, you listen. There’s plenty of comments on it, from our own Serdar to Cracked.com.
So though I don’t think we’re there yet, I have to concede that it seems Hollywood is heading for a meltdown. The second half of the summer doesn’t seem to be going too hot, though I will say Despicable Me 2 really did deserve to do well.
But my praise for the family/superhero/romcom/comedy of the summer aside, I do think that the meltdown is coming, probably next year, as the pre-planned tent poles don’t provide a lot of support. So what happens if there is a Hollywood collapse, with a huge amount of blockbusters not making enough money, and the risk-phobic studios not being sure what to do?
One of my first thoughts is that a lot of people won’t give a damn.
