Gonzo: Style over substance and messed up manga adaptations

Posted on April 25, 2007 by Karura

When we think of Studio Gonzo, what comes to mind? Inevitably it seems to be CG bullet time, ugly and unnecessary mecha, inconsistent production values and a complete and utter inability to properly adapt a manga series without losing what … Continue reading →

Posted on April 3, 2007 by Karura
