ANN has a good breakdown of the Gkids getting acquired by TOHO.
Giant Robot: Thirty Years of Defining Asian-American Pop Culture has just come out from Drawn & Quarterly. We've only skimmed through it, but it fascinating how the magazine was even made... it never seemed to have real offices. Weird.
We've been writing about all the Giant Robot events lately tied to it's 30th anniversary including the ongoing art exhibit at JANM and the film series over at UCLA.
Giant Robot has always been the cool shop and art gallery to check out on Sawtelle, but it's been a lot more. We've written about so many events they've done over the years. We've loved seeing the amazing art and merch they've been able to bring too. Power to the brand and the man behind it all Eric Nakumura. Hope to see even more for the best name magazine of yesteryear, Giant Robot.
