The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1 was released last month, and fans of the franchise are now forced to wait another year before watching the conclusion. Rather than spending the next twelve months rewatching the films, we here at Otaku USA Magazine have decided to advocate another course of action altogether: watch some anime.
To that end, we’ve compiled a list of anime (and manga!) titles that will hopefully appeal to you if you like The Hunger Games and tide you over until November 2015.

While we’re all still waiting (not with bated breath, or we’d all be dead by now) for any word on Evangelion 4.0 (or is it 3.0 +1.0?), a bit of new(ish) Evangelion content is out this week in the form of what is essentially a official anime music video.
It’s a video for Hikaru Utada’s “Beautiful World,” the ending theme song of Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone, for which Utada came out of hiatus back in 2009.

You may remember our report from last year about J-World Tokyo, the theme park based on famous Shonen Jump properties like One Piece, Dragon Ball and Naruto.
At the time, we noted many of the rides and attractions feature English translations, which is great, but one important missing piece of the foreigner-friendly puzzle was the theme park’s homepage, which was only in Japanese. On-site English signs don’t mean a lot if your visitors can’t find the park in the first place, right?

One Piece is as powerful as ever, especially with FUNimation's release of One Piece Film: Z. Luffy and the Straw Hats find themselves up against one of their most formidable film opponents yet in the form of Z and his Neo-Navy, so we had to enlist one of our strongest warriors, Daryl Surat, to cover the movie in the latest issue of Otaku USA magazine.

This classic series gets released in America at long, long last! Kimagure Orange Road was one of the superstar manga of the 80s, and though it was never officially translated, the anime made it so popular in the U.S. that even those who never saw an episode knew of its existence. Though the art is dated, the appeal is still there. Even though it looks its age, the artwork is clean and easy to read, the characters are engaging and well drawn, and the simplicity has a charm all its own. (Plus, the art improves in later volumes.)
