Imagine-Nation is a Japanese pop culture show on NHK World News focusing on Anime/Manga/Games and today is a special on The Garden Of Sinners anime.

Apparently this was originally a web novel then a novel then a manga and is now being made into seven 1 hour films. One for each chapter.

To be honest I didn't know much about this up to now but it looks very interesting so if you want to check it out it's on NHK World News (Sky 516) at 15:30/19:30 today 11/03/09.

I recently watched the first one of these on fan sub. I mean to download the others at some point. The first was very good.

I'm currently watching Imagine-Nation, and other than being mega-cheesy it's actually quite interesting. Enough so that I may actually consider tuning in regularly.

It looks to be the first real attempt to broadcast an otaku-oriented review show (like they do for movies) here.

I considered mentioning the presentation style but I thought I'd let you discover it yourselves Twisted Evil

If you can get past that it's not a bad show particularly as it's based on the Japanese scene rather than here or the US.

I found myself cheering the top three manga, since all three are series I enjoy and read (with the exception of Skip Beat, which I want to read)
