Apegenine Volume 2: Hypocondriac: Review by Robert Halvarsson at Original Sound Version

It’s the most distressing thing when netlabels call it quits and slowly fade into the abyss. While it’s inevitable that many of the people who dedicate their time and energy to these musical ventures will eventually move on to new vistas, it’s always a shame to see them go. I suppose it can be viewed in the context of a larger cycle of life. However, it’s always preferable to receive a formal goodbye rather...

Otaku Play: Review by Michal at Mentisworks

My copy of Otaku: Play came in the mail today, fresh from Romania. That in itself is a bit of a story. So yeah, ordering things from Romania makes your banking security go crazy. Be prepared for a disabled card, alert emails, and having to spend a good hour on the phone explaining to them that it's really you and you did mean to order that magazine from Romania! But I digress. The magazine is...

Otaku Play: Review by Brandon Boyer at Offworld

Spotted by the TIGSource crowd earlier in the weekend and quickly ordered before its minuscule run of 350 copies ran dry is Okatu Play, the latest issue of a chapbook style magazine put out, as it happens, by the same Romanian organization that put together the Otaku festival Mike noted a week or two back. The table of contents is a laundry list of unfamiliar or only hazily recognized names, but it's the included DVD...

Otaku Play: Review by Scott Foutz at SaruDama

The latest issue of Otaku Magazine is now available. This one is entitled "Play" and focuses on the themes of players and play in all its manifestations. I've been a fan of Otaku Mag since I first ran across it a year ago. Its dedication to Japan-inspired art and technology is thoroughly entertaining, and its glossy visual presentation sets a very high standard for underground publications. This issue is being published as a limited release,...

Otaku Play: Review by GameSetWatch at True Chip Till Death

Romanian publication Otaku Magazine — an “independent platform [designed to promote] visual art from national and international artists” — announced its fifth issue, titled Otaku Play, which looks to explore “the universe of players and play of all kinds”, “how and when you play”, and “what you learn while playing and where … you risk arriving when you remain blocked within the same play”. The 132-page, English-language issue includes articles “Virtual Worlds Unplugged”, “A Short...

Otaku Play: Review by Alain at Gute Seiten

The new Otaku magazine just arrived yesterday from Romania (by the way: our first magazine from Romania!) – Otaku is a lovely magazine about visual art, strongly influenced by japanese culture.

And this issue comes also with an interactive DVD (includes 8-bit artists from around the world: Dubmood (FR), Graffiti Monsters (USA), Ikuma (SG), Jellica (UK), Kaseo (JP),...

Otaku Play: Review by Geert at Gizmag

Who ever thought Romania has nothing to offer, is wrong, very very wrong. Otaku proves you don’t have to live in London or New York, to be in the middle of everything that is cool. The latest issue titled Play, is again filled with eye-candy. And the free eBoy poster makes it even better! It seems that with this issue they switched over to a complete English magazine too. Besides from the magazine packed with...

Kaidan Sounds: Review by Scott Foutz at SaruDama

Otaku Magazine is a relatively new and visually stunning international publication dedicated to a fascination with Japanese art and culture. Published in both English and Romanian languages, each quarterly issue is brimming with top quality interviews, content and superb graphical layouts. From front to back, its glossy, colorful pages deliver a full and professional interaction with contemporary Japanese manga and artists. This thoroughly impressive and upcoming project deserves the recognition and support of the...

Cycles: Review by Gemma Sheppard at The Monobrow

Music for nothing. What is it with free music? Faced with the 797 strong list of netlabels currently hosted by the Internet Archive, or the 12898 strong directory of Myspace music profiles, and the process of trawling through all of this artist-donated free music in order to narrow it down to some mp3s that you might actually want to listen to soon takes on the form of the sort of punishment which may well be...
