We're just down for an anime party before AX.
"Of all the galaxies far, far away, sci-fi anime of the 70s and 80s
inhabits one that’s particularly fuzzy, fantastical and forever embedded
in the hearts of many. One of those hearts belongs to Xavier the
Spaniard, ABD’s youngest programmer, a lifelong, obsessive devotee of
the genre. Alas, our Spaniard must soon return to Spain – but not before
leaving us with his love letter to Japanese animated space operas: The
Vintage Sci-Fi Anime Party! Prepare yourself for epic space battles,
giant robot show downs, sentai and mecha madness, and monstrous
extraterrestrial foes – all brought to you by masters like Osamu Tezuka,
Rintaro, and Katsuhiro Otomo. Not to mention Hayao Miyazaki’s first TV
incursions, macho Philip K. Dickian masterpieces like Space Adventure Cobra, and King Beast GoLion, the action-packed anime that transformed into beloved cult-fave Voltron.
Come join our late night celebration of subtitle-bejeweled
intergalactic adventures from the golden age when anime first reached
western shores, and bid adios to Xavier before he takes off for his home
planet!"
