Anime Riverside is coming up fast, it'll be here at the end of May and let's you prep for the big one, maybe test out some cosplay. Been following their social media and their having one Hell of a long list of voice talent, check out their site for whose gonna be there. It looks like quite a lot of fan favorite voice actors don't mind heading to Riverside. We'll keep you updated with other big events and our top picks for event later. 

Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 4 is happening right now. Can't say I was too enthused with Episode1, but Episode 2 brought me back to the Hell that is Subaru isekai'd second life. When you're super power is resetting time after you die, but you feel your deaths, it's not the greatest...thing. It is for the viewer though as we have a new puzzle to solve and plenty of resets.

 

Dandelion, from the creator of Gintama, is a new comedy anime about angels, but more if they were Japanese office workers/Yakuza. It looks like all episodes were released and it has an English Dub. The opening totally catches the ridiculous vibe of the show.


Here's the view from that Jollibee's Anaheim store decked out in FINAL FANTASY XIV-themed decor. You've only only got til' May 31st to see it.

Woah, what is this like the 5th or 6th video game or anime concert we've posted about in two weeks? We're getting quite a lot.

LACMA's New David Geffen Galleries: Such Sights To Show You

 By Jonathan Bilski

Such wonderful sights. An astounding collection of art, some centuries old, from all over the
world. Paintings, carvings, weaves, builds, films all around you. A place easy to get lost in. And, we were there at the opening night reception on Sunday, April 19th for members at a strange new structure to house it all. And, with a very LA crowd of art lovers more than ready to peruse it. LACMA's new David Geffen Galleries sits bent awkwardly over a street, looking more like a public bridge than a world class art museum. Frighteningly, inside it, the art has almost has no barriers to stop someone from touching it and being an arm's length from it can be very enticing.

A few hours earlier, a celebratory ribbon-cutting ceremony had occurred with the big names, artists, donors and such. Now, as the sun set, the wonderful Urban Lights lit up and attracted random people to take out their phones and take a selfie. Even people from the line to get in couldn't resist to grab photos with the iconic LACMA lamps. We slowly made way to the new gallery. Which, doesn't really have a good nickname yet. Soon, LACMA's members got their first preview of the new David Geffen Galleries. Which, doesn't really roll off the tongue.

"Where's the bar?" was the first thing I heard as I entered the grounds of the new LACMA. I could not blame the patron. The long line we were in had formed and the anticipation and thirst for both art and maybe a cocktail had gotten to everyone waiting to see the interior of architect Peter Zumthor's new take on what LACMA should be.

 I can tell you the man, does not care for restrooms. I know the place and piece should be for the art, but you have to take into account human beings having bladders. Or at least he could have. There's an Erewhon pop-up to grab food at ground level and some drinking fountains inside the actually gallery. Let me clarify, there's just drinking fountains. I don't believe you can take any water bottles or liquids up with you, so no refill stations up there. 

We'll get to the art, but like when I toured The Broad, you can tell a lot from a places restrooms and the care given to basic human needs.

In an almost comical way, when I asked one of the catering staff where the restroom was, it seemed to tax him. He tried his best to explain as the structure itself is so...undefinable and will make finding locations rather annoying. "Okay, so you see those to two concrete structures, go through them and it'll be on the first one on your left." Now, it sounds, weird, because it is. And, how it's labeled does not help. It's very easy to miss. There were only two toilets in there, which were nicely private and for any gender. With volume of patrons seems like not the best plan. With supply and demand.

If you're thinking I'm not a fan of Zumthor's work, you'd be correct.


 
Super easy to find with that label and door that looks like every other door

Can't deny the wondrous collection of art though. LACMA's collections of art shines. You will be in utter awe of the collection of art you have access to. Art from across time and all oceans. Literally, that's the layout for this inaugural exhibition. It's by ocean. A strange take, but the setup of the space was never gonna make it easy to locate pieces anyway.

By the objectively long stairs up, which will probably be a core memory for little Angelenos or by the simple elevator ride to the one floor massive gallery bridge that is now LACMA's main body you'll be greeted by a horse's arse...excuse me, three of them fused together. LACMA is totally playing with us. Or at least is for this starting exhibition. You're making a clear statement when you're putting that there when you get off the elevator. It made me laugh.

Liz Glynn’s “The Futility of Conquest (Cavalcade),” 2023

We've visited LACMA over the years for various exhibits here at TTDILA and just myself from field trips to enjoying art as a teen to and adult and it's like having flashbacks. Very much like when The Broad opened and you saw so many classic pieces in a new setting. There's just so many memories and so much to see.

Seeing works up close on a level that frankly me and other patrons were shocked by. People can get close to pieces older than this city, state or country! It's a little intense that LACMA feels safe enough to allow this level of intimacy with this work. Seeing stuff before you know the year one, up close, can be a bit heavy.

Yes, docents were present and did warn when people got close, still I'm amazed at how free you were allowed to wander the halls.


 
 
You'll turn a corner and be surprised by a completely different medium. 




 Or time period.

 

Like I wrote earlier, is you have this just...eye-catching, slow-down, take a moment and look art. Think.
Just think. Or let it stir some emotion in you. 

You could park a car in here

oh, they did
Wait, where is that section? Ughhh. Navigating the Geffen might seem easy, but it's not designed very well for human traffic. Just like its restrooms. As my colleague put it, "It’s like an IKEA without arrows." When, I wrote you can get lost in it. You kind of can. I'm sure you can ask a docent for help. One could hope you could navigate a recently created museum that's supposed to be a simple walk by regular people, but all the walls, the grim concrete walls, look the same. 

It's very easy to get lost in it and with no real sort of design or color scheme like the blue section or yellow section. Or truly anything, it's hard to define where anything is or where to go.

I hate to bring up The Backrooms again from other stuff I've been writing, but with the movie out soon and new horror phenom being liminal space, the new gallery wins it for sheer scary boredom. This place is a perfect backdrop for a liminal space horror movie.

Oh, and it totally matches the same grim inside and industrial look of the nearby Academy Museum's malaise of parking garage design.

I was joking about the floors with a colleague on how could they be ruined with them being brand new. Like, how is there splattered paint on the floor? It's a brand new museum. So, they sort of actively chose to rip their own jeans? There's some cracks too. What was this design choice? Trying to be punk?

The Gallery is so vast though, I thought it was underutilized and could have had even more being shown for the opening exhibit. You'll be amazed how much can fit in there.

In the end, that's all that this is about. LACMA's art. Angelenos and the world will enjoy it for decades to come at the new LACMA. Though it might be different, not a futuristic or classic design, it will become one just because it houses such amazing art. The David Geffen Galleries will hopefully get a nickname. And, one day it'll be featured in a movie/show or two and be another icon of LA. 

You can enjoy all of the art inside of it and literally get lost in it.

Anime Hype: Little Tokyo Edition: Kodansha House, Kinokuniya Coming Back To Little Tokyo & 'Streets of Elation' Honkai: Star Rail Take Over

 Woah, Little Tokyo is buzzing with news. And, just after Delicious Little Tokyo last weekend. First off, during Anime Expo this July, will be treated to Kodansha House in Little Tokyo. It's the first time we've gotten the pop-up in the LA area.

Here's some excerpts from the press release:

"...Kodansha House, which will make its West Coast debut this summer in Los Angeles’ Little Tokyo neighborhood July 2-12, while Anime Expo runs concurrently July 2-5 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

More than a manga event, Kodansha House is a vibrant meeting place where the world of manga crosses over into the real world. Fans this year will enter a portal that takes them into a dynamic, interactive space to connect with and celebrate the impossible stories they have come to love. They can then spend their time more leisurely with friends, as well as meeting new ones, while hanging out in a manga gallery, cafe, lounge, and library. With daily programming to include manga creator appearances, anime screenings, panel discussions, and more, Kodansha House is the perfect pop-up for manga enthusiasts, both new and seasoned, to mingle and dive deeper into the magic of manga.

Highlights of this year’s Kodansha House Los Angeles will include guest appearances by the creators of two of the biggest manga hits of the year: Muneyuki Kaneshiro and Yusuke Nomura, the creative team behind the global-hit soccer manga Blue Lock, and Kamome Shirahama, author and artist of the magical fantasy manga Witch Hat Atelier, recently adapted into a highly anticipated anime series. In addition, Kaneshiro-sensei, Nomura-sensei, and Shirahama-sensei will appear as official guests of Anime Expo, where they will hold separate panels and signing events. More details of how to attend these coveted appearances at both Kodansha House and Anime Expo will be announced. Attendees of Anime Expo can also unlock special benefits at Kodansha House with their AX badges—more details forthcoming. 

Once again Kodansha will partner with Kinokuniya USA as its official Kodansha House partner for retail operations during the Los Angeles pop-up event. Look for future announcements on exclusive merchandise that can only be purchased at Kodansha House and Kinokuniya bookstores."

Now, what's interesting about that last point was the Kinokuniya is teaming up to sell merch back in Little Tokyo. As many might know, for undisclosed reasons it was kicked out or left it's decades old home at Weller Court. A temporary home for the store is at The Bloc in downtown LA. However...


If you look across the street from Weller Court you can see a new Kinokuniya is setting up shop. Looks like or it sounds like it'll be up in running in time for Kodansha House/ Anime Expo this July as no official word has come out about the place at all. And, it looks like it might be even bigger than the last one.

What an f u to Weller Court's owner if they literally just book store next door. But, we could be totally missing something, because Kinokuniya's Little Tokyo branch never explained why it was closing. The best guess was higher rents from the owners of Weller Court. In any case, we're happy to see them, hopefully coming back this Summer.

The old location in Weller Court has been turned into a very empty anime store. With literal empty shelves called Sora Gumi. We're not sure how it's paying rent, but maybe exists just as some sort out of a deal out of spite. Nothing wrong with the staff or products. They just don't need a retail space that large. It's comical if you want to head in there and pretend you're in The Backrooms.

And, finally here's a few snaps from the Streets of Elation' Honkai: Star Rail Take Over Sunday. There were some long lines to grab special food or merch required to receipts to gain a special ticket that would earn you  prizes. Plus, a mini festival in the JACCC Plaza.
