Breaking It All Down: the ‘Zine – Is Edited and Written by Alexander Case Issue #10 - November 2016 Jose Sanchez was born and raised in Miami, Florida on March 10,1968,where he still lives today with his wife Aliana. At the age of six, he was introduced to fingerpainting. By first grade, he had picked up his first pencil, but it was not until the summer of 1977 when Star Wars hit the movie screens across America, that his imaginative spark was truly ignited! Like so many other people that were influenced by the cult phenomenon, he was too. So much so, that this led him to seriously explore and develop his talent for creating art further. As time has gone by and he has honed his skills, he has been notably influenced by the works of Science Fiction and Fantasy artists such as: Stephen Youll, Donato Giancola, Chris Moore, Tim White, Jim Burns, David B. Mattingly and Michael Whelan, to name but a few. He attended Lindsey-Hopkins Technical Education Education Center in Miami, Florida where he received a certificate in Commercial Art Technology-majoring in illustration and minoring in Graphic Design. Jose would ideally like to see himself one day working professionally in the motion picture industry as a Concept Artist. He had previously worked on a low- budget SF/Super Hero Animation flick titled: "Shadow Runner", designing the individual character's spaceships. "They tend to depend more on technology than they do on their own superpowers". He is also interested in the publication and gaming markets. To one of his many credits, which have included several fanzine covers and one semi-prozine cover and interior artwork. Also appearing in the official LucasFilm Star Wars Insider magazines: "City Patrol", was chosen for publication in the March/April 2006/issue #86. “Oil Bath”, “Artoo”, “Pair of Jawas” and “Land of the Rising Suns” in April 2014/issue #148 now being published by Titan Publications and online at starwars.com on the Jan.15,2014 Blog article: Bantha Tracks: Best of the Year, Online edition: “AT-AT Driver” and in the Blog article: Bantha Tracks: Art Galaxy, March 2014 “ Djas Puhr-Settling The Score!” Much of his art can be currently seen at efanzines.com. 2 Contents Editorial and Letters 4 Con Report: Portland Retro Gaming Expo & Kumoricon 2016 6 Anime 111: Inside Baseball - Anime about Anime, Manga, and Fandom 15 Anime about Anime 15 Anime (and Manga) about Manga 17 Anime and Manga about Fandom 20 Breaking It All Down: The ‘Zine – is edited and written by Alexander Case. Letters of Comment can be sent to [email protected]. If you’ve never sent a LoC to me before, please put “LoC:” at the start of the subject line, so it gets filed in the right place. I also sporadically appear on the Bureau42 Greatest Science Fiction Film Tournament podcast, available through the Bureau42 Master Podcast Audio Feed, which can be found on iTunes and Stitcher. My YouTube Channel, where the web-series that this fanzine is spun off from. can be found at http://www. youtube.com/user/CountZeroOr 3 Editorial and Letters So, a lot of what I’ve been working on right now, in terms of Fanzine material, has been stuff on my blog. I’ve started up a new project where I’m going to read and review all the novels and comics that are in what is now the “Star Wars Legends” continuity of the expanded universe, in order of publication. I’m doing this project in two forms - a series of written reviews on my blog, and a video series on my YouTube channel. As of this publication, I’ve covered everything from the Expanded Universe that was published contemporaneously with the original films. I’m unfamiliar somewhat with whether it’s okay for you to reprint your stuff from (say) a blog in your fanzine. If it’s okay, then I’ll try to do a special issue in time for Rogue One editing together my material on the Star Wars works that came out contemporaneous with the original trilogy. Also, on my Youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/countzeroor), I’ve done vlog reviews on the latest Godzilla film, Shin Godzilla, from director Hideaki Anno, and on Doctor Strange. Finally, one last thing, before we get to letters. I’m writing this here, and I’m going to put this on my blog and YouTube channel as well. This is not meant to be critical or otherwise an attack against any of my readers, but as this fanzine is posted in a public place, and in the wake of the 2016 election (and events following) , I feel I should make this clear: I had frequently joked in conversation that come November, our long national nightmare would be over. I may have jinxed it. Either that, or as several comedians have joked, some Cubs fan made a wish on a Monkey’s Paw and is now greatly regretting their decision. As for me, as a person with Autism, I’ve got to contend with a president-elect who has openly mocked and called for the harassment of people like me. I also have to contend with the fact that should the ACA be repealed without any sort of replacement, the field that I majored in, and I am trying to find work in - Medical ,IT may undergo a major contraction, and even the longest running employer of people in this field - theeterans V Administration - will likely undergo a hiring freeze, if not a contraction as well. Ironically, whether I want to stick it out in the US and fight or not, it may be the case that in order to get experience in my field, I may have to move to Canada, since they have universal health care, and will have to manage the sharing and securing of patient records across the whole country. So, this has not been an issue in the past - not on my blog, not in this fanzine, and barely on myYouTube Channel (which considering most YouTube comments, is quite impressive - or possibly a sign of how small my audience is) - but I’m going to try to get ahead of things and say this well before this even has a chance of becoming an issue: My fanzine, my blog, and my YouTube channel are safe spaces. I have no tolerance for harassment of someone because of their gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity or disability. Also, people’s life experiences should be respected - people who have faced misogyny, sexual harassment, racism, and homophobia have the right to speak up, and speak out about their experiences, and I have no truck with those who seek to shout them down, shut them up, and drive them from public discourse, or who seek to dismiss, minimize the hardships they have faced, nor will I be silent when people attempt to normalize that harassment or make it publically acceptable. I’ve never really gotten into political discussion here, but by Ghu, I’ve got a soapbox. Hell, I’ve got three - this Fanzine, my YouTube Channel, and my blog. I’ve been public about my disability on my YouTube channel, and somewhat on my Blog, I might as well be so here. Because of the way my disability manifests, marching in protests like the ones that have been occurring daily in PDX since election day are not something that I’d describe as ideal for me. However, when the mood strikes me, I reserve the right to speak up, and speak out on political issues that I feel are important to me. With that out of the way, we have letters! John Purcell writes: Well, hello, Alex! I hope you are well and not suffering in the heat like we are in Texas. Of course, today it is only a mere 95 degrees F this afternoon, meaning a cold front is hauling through. We’ll be back to the triple digits tomorrow, I am sure. I have some Jose Sanchez art on hand for my zine, so it is always good to see his work gracing the covers of assorted fanzines. The newest Askance has been sent to efanzines.com, but it has been posted yet. Any day now it should be. In the meantime, I am attaching it for your enjoyment. Seeing Lloyd Penney’s address in the letter column reminds me: I have a couple extra copies of Askew #15 on hand, so if you’d like to have a copy of that paper-only fanzine, let me know what your mailing address is and I shall send one. 4 Anime is not one of my interests, but it certainly has a large and active following, and there are quite a few anime conventions inTexas. Oh, well. Just one smaller tent inside the large tent of SF fandom. All the best, John Purcell Indeed Texas has several anime conventions, including one of the oldest in the US - A-Kon (named after the anime “Project A-Ko”). We did get into the triple-digits this summer in PDX. However, this fall we have gotten into the cold, wet, and foggy, as is par for the course for the Pacific Northwest (though a couple days this November have approached, but not reached, 70 degrees) No anime reviews this issue, for various reasons - not that I haven’t been watching anime, as much as I don’t really have a good feature article concept at the moment. Next up is Lloyd Penny Dear Alex: I have here issue 9 of Breaking It All Down – The Zine, and as I catch up on all the zines I have here, yours has risen cream-like to the top, and it’s time to respond to it.

  • Drawn&Quarterly
    DRAWN & QUARTERLY spring 2012 catalogue EXCERPT FROM GUY DELISLE’S JERUSALEM EXCERPT FROM GUY DELISLE’S JERUSALEM EXCERPT FROM GUY DELISLE’S JERUSALEM CANADIAN AUTHOR GUY DELISLE JERUSALEM Chronicles from the Holy City Acclaimed graphic memoirist Guy Delisle returns with his strongest work yet, a thoughtful and moving travelogue about life in Israel. Delisle and his family spent a year in East Jerusalem as part of his wife’s work with the non-governmental organiza- tion Doctors Without Borders. They were there for the short but brutal Gaza War, a three-week-long military strike that resulted in more than 1000 Palestinian deaths. In his interactions with the emergency medical team sent in by Doctors Without Borders, Delisle eloquently plumbs the depths of the conflict. Some of the most moving moments in Jerusalem are the in- teractions between Delisle and Palestinian art students as they explain the motivations for their work. Interspersed with these simply told, affecting stories of suffering, Delisle deftly and often drolly recounts the quotidian: crossing checkpoints, going ko- sher for Passover, and befriending other stay-at-home dads with NGO-employed wives. Jerusalem evinces Delisle’s renewed fascination with architec- ture and landscape as political and apolitical, with studies of highways, villages, and olive groves recurring alongside depictions of the newly erected West Bank Barrier and illegal Israeli settlements. His drawn line is both sensitive and fair, assuming nothing and drawing everything. Jerusalem showcases once more Delisle’s mastery of the travelogue. “[Delisle’s books are] some of the most effective and fully realized travel writing out there.” – NPR ALSO AVAILABLE: SHENZHEN 978-1-77046-079-9 • $14.95 USD/CDN BURMA CHRONICLES 978-1770460256 • $16.95 USD/CDN PYONGYANG 978-1897299210 • $14.95 USD/CDN GUY DELISLE spent a decade working in animation in Europe and Asia.

  • Gender and Computer Games/Video Games
    Gender and Computer Games/ Video Games Girls’ Perspective Orientation Authors: Yan Jingjing Subject: Master Thesis in Business Administration 15 ECTS Program: Master of International Management Gotland University Spring semester 2010 Supervisor: Bo Lennstrand Abstract The topic of this thesis is “Gender Differences in Computer games/ Video games Industry”. Due to rapid development in technology and popularization of computers all around the world, computer games have already become a kind of common entertainment. Because computer games were designed especially for boys at the very beginning, there are still some remaining barriers when training female game designers and expanding game markets among female players. This thesis is mainly based on two studies which have enormous contributions to gender issue in computer games area. A simple model is established by summarizing factors mentioned and discussed in those two books. The main purpose consists of two comparisons under Gender Differences: one comparison is between the current data with the previous one, in order to check whether there are any changes during the past 10 years. The other one compares the young people in two regions, Sweden and China, in computer games perspective. Model designing, test, questionnaire and interview methods are used in this paper aiming to collect and categorize the data, which facilitates to analyze the results of the comparisons. The results reflect that although computer becomes a familiar “friend” in modern daily life, there are not obvious changes of girls‟ perspectives in computer game industry. Certainly, there are some differences between the young people coming from two regions which will be expounded in the thesis.
