Well, according to Danny, he has already set up his own anime production company called Mirai Fusion, and production of their first anime title is already well underway. The anime is titled “Chinka” and will mainly focus on four teenage girls that are in the fire department. More details can be found at Danny’s site. To me, it sounds like this anime is going to be another slice-of-life/comedy following in the footsteps of K-ON, one of the more successful anime in recent years. The character designs seem to be more on the cute side rather than the sexy, serious, or scary side, most likely to appeal to a wider audience.

Personally, I was a bit disappointed when I heard what Danny Choo’s first anime would be about; we’re talking about the Tokyo Dance Trooper here after all. You would expect his first anime to be about himself rather than some cute little girls fighting fires. He could’ve made an anime where he has dance-offs (dance competitions) against other sci-fi and anime characters in the streets of Tokyo. If anime can make baking bread exciting, there’s no reason why this idea wouldn’t take off, especially considering how popular the Dance Trooper videos on Youtube are. Alas, all we’re getting is another addition to the huge influx of slice-of-life/comedy anime that has been coming out in the last couple of years.

Apparently this is the fourth version of the map though I hadn’t seen it before – wish I had.

As you’d expect, all the big boys are on there — Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Skype, StumbleUpon, WordPress, Reddit, IMDb…

There’s a lot of media there too including News Corp, BBC, The Guardian and so on.

It’s well worth spending time scrolling around looking at how sites are linked up together and who the key players are.

The taller the building, the more successful it’s deemed, while its width denotes how stable it is.
