It is going to be interesting to witness the new anime as it come.... 40 years of passion - a saga bathed in the human soul, of blood, sweat and tears.... Thank you, Tetsuo Hara and Buronson, thank you so much!

Well, I am not sure how to feel about the whole deal.... It can be considered an artistic experience, maybe like how hip hop/rap started, mashing things around and remixing... Maybe... And kudo if you coded the AI to make stuff up....

I shall say at least this; if there is an AI who manage to pass this 'Turing test', and emerge as a conscience, with sentient, sapien thoughts, with emotions and feelings, I shall be by it's side.....

As in the title - today Google celebrate our poutine! =D

Comme dans le titre - aujourd'hui Google célèbre notre poutine! =D

Spring time is here, still early in the season but here we are; snow receding out and days lentghtening, warming up with a glowing sun... Good time to relax and enjoy your days peacefully...

Bit late here, just learned from wikipedia who cited him as a recent death of note - Leiji Matsumoto was a legend of the manga-anime industry, influenced by Osamu Tezuka's works (who was himself the 'Grandfather of Manga' and creator of the industry) to make his own creations. He was the creator of the classic character Captain Harlock/Albator, the 'space pirate' and his universe along other works set in the same universe - one of the earliest anime who showed here in the french speaking world....

In memory of the creator and the Space Pirate who will now forever navigate the 'upper sea' and fight for freedom, the theme that was a part of my childhood....
