Artificial intelligence has been a sci-fi villain for about as long as the concept has existed, but in the past few months, we've seen the issue of AI become timely, present, and poignant. There is AI taking over journalism, AI being used to replicate actors' voices, and AI making a whole Oasis album. Artificial intelligence is also part of the negotiations that led to the Writers Guild of America's strike, as concerns about AI's role in the creative arts become more and more urgent.
It used to be a common belief that robots would take over technical jobs like programming, not the arts. This is a development few saw coming, but "Cowboy Bebop" creator Shinichirō Watanabe was one of those few. Back in 2019, Watanabe made a new anime in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the famed studio, Bones, called "Carole & Tuesday."

If you were an unsuspecting late-night Cartoon Network viewer in 2001, you likely witnessed the birth of "Adult Swim." And, if you were there, then it is safe to say that one of your formative introductions to anime involved some loud horns blaring at the stroke of midnight, followed by the funkiest bass strings you'd ever heard. That's when you knew, deep down, that something different was happening.
"Cowboy Bebop" is, without question, one of the most highly regarded anime series of all time. With its rugged, quirky characters, fantastic animation, and epic score, the show has served as a welcome introduction to anime for many fans. Directed by Shinichiro Watanabe, "Cowboy Bebop" follows a crew of intergalactic bounty hunters as they travel across the galaxy aboard their ship, the Bebop, collecting bounties for the Inter Solar System Police. These assignments frequently land the team in chaotic situations that see their...

“Carole and Tuesday have come a long way since their impromptu collaboration on the streets of Alba City, and now they’ve finally secured an official stage for their performances: the televised competition, Mars Brightest! But while their soulful music wows the judges and audience, dissonance grows between them, threatening to tear their group apart. Can Carole and Tuesday come out of Mars Brightest as the winners—or even as a team…?” (Yen Press)

The third and final volume in the “Carole and Tuesday” manga adaptation comes to an end at the same point as the first season of the anime. A slightly bittersweet conclusion, as the book acts as a wonderful love letter to the hit tv series, but won’t extend into the second story arc. Regardless, the third volume brings the reader into the “Mars’s Brightest”, the pinnacle event of both seasons,...

As streamers continue to carve out their niches for specialized content, Netflix has established a firm foothold in original anime production of both established and original IP. On Tuesday morning, the platform outlined a group of exciting upcoming titles, headlined by the hugely anticipated “The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf” animated spinoff, in a pre-recorded Studio Focus panel, streamed as part of the Annecy Film Festival.
In “The Witcher,” one of Netflix’s most popular original series to date, Henry Cavill plays Geralt of Rivera, the outcast monster hunter who is loathed by most he comes across and willing to do dangerous and unsavory work for pay, earning himself a guarded admiration from some he’s helped. But, before Geralt came Vesemir, a headstrong young witcher who relishes his job and the earthly benefits he reaps in doing what others can’t or won’t. Seemingly unshakable, Vesemir will face...

“Carole and Tuesday aren’t the only ones searching for stardom on Mars! Former child actor Angela will stop at nothing to achieve her singing debut—even if she has to become the puppet of a mysterious genius to do it. As Carole and Tuesday continue chasing their dreams, can this brash young star avoid butting heads with her songwriter long enough to make it onstage?” (Yen Press)
With the first volume bringing together the titular two young hopeful singers, the second entry shifts to explore the nuances of the music industry, through both established and new musicians. Notably, the book is largely preoccupied with Angela and her work with the cold and calculated Mr Tao. A humorous duo whose goal to make Angela a stand out talent provides some comedic flair lacking in the first. In addition, fans will recognize notable and beloved faces such as...

Based off of the hit anime, “Carole and Tuesday” follows the adventures of the titular duo as they strive to make a name for themselves in a music industry dominated by computer calculated hits. The first volume covers; the meeting of the two, their first viral hit, meeting with manager Roddy, and their first performance on the big stage.
Carole and Tuesday rests as my all time favorite anime series, not just as a celebration of music but for the strong design and uplifting narrative that left such a positive impression long after each season concluded. Consequently, I was excited at word of Yen Press releasing the manga adaptation. This bias is necessary in approaching the review, as the experience of the anime was embedded in my own experience with the manga. With that established, Morito Yamataka’s take on the original story by Bones and Shinchiro...
