I just returned from a great dinner event with Heisei Gamera series and GMK: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack composer Kow Otani and animation director Keiichi Hara. It was my first time to meet both gentlemen, and they were as kind and generous as I expected.
Yours truly with Kow Otani.
While I'm admittedly not the biggest fan of the Heisei Gamera series or GMK, it's always cool to get a chance to meet someone so closely associated with the genre I grew up with. Besides, Otani-san's reputation as a friendly guy was more than enough to convince me to take this opportunity. I'm glad I did.

Also on hand was anime director Keiichi Hara, who is best known for his work on the Doraemon and Crayon Shin-chan television and movie series. I must admit I'm really not familiar with his work at all. Anime just isn't my bag. But he was one heck of a nice guy, and his talents were quite evident to me.
And that's all for tonight. What a blast it was. Stay tuned to this blog for all the coolest happenings in Japan!
