Anime & Manga / Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
« on: January 22, 2010, 02:27:52 AM »Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
Quote
The Reborn! story revolves around a boy named Tsunayoshi "Tsuna" Sawada, who is chosen to become the Vongola Family's boss due to him being the great-great-great-great grandson of the first Vongola boss, who had moved to Japan from Italy during his time. He is told by Reborn that he will become the tenth(decimo/italian) Vongola boss. Also, the other candidates for the position of the head of the Vongola Family have died. For these reasons, Tsuna is the only remaining heir. As such, Timoteo a.k.a. "Vongola IX", the current head of the family, sends Reborn, an infant hitman from Italy, to train Tsuna. Tsuna then unwillingly undergoes training from Reborn. Reborn's main method of teaching Tsuna is the "Dying Will Bullet", which will make the person be "reborn" with a stronger self intent on fulfilling his dying will. Through his experiences, Tsuna unconsciously becomes stronger and more confident, which ultimately makes him better suited as the Vongola Family's boss despite continuing to reject his Mafia inheritance. He also starts making several friendships such as his crush Kyoko Sasagawa.
Tsuna goes through many predicaments in his progress of becoming the Vongola boss including fighting against escaped Mafia convicts posing as Kokuyo Junior High students. Later, The Varia, Vongola assassin squad, claim the right for their boss, Xanxus to be the true Vongola boss, and start a competition to decide it. To defeat the Varia, Reborn recruits most of Tsuna's schoolmates to become the Vongola guardians: Hayato Gokudera, a dynamite expert who wishes to be his right-hand man, Takeshi Yamamoto, a baseball player who thinks the Mafia is a game, Ryohei Sasagawa, the energetic captain of the school boxing club, and Kyoya Hibari, the deadly head prefect. Lambo, a weak infant assassin who came to kill Reborn, and Chrome Dokuro, a girl who has a mental and physical link with the criminal Mukuro Rokudo, joins them as well. Later, after defeating the Varia, Tsuna and his friends are transported to the future where they must face the Millefiore Family, who are annihilating the Vongola.

Marvel and Madhouse just announced and released 2 teasers for a 4 part series of anime movies featuring Marvel superheroes. The first two teasers are for Ironman and Wolverine.
The films are supposed to redesign “popular Super Heroes redesigned and repurposed as emerging from the fabric of Japanese culture” and from the teasers you’ll know they are serious about this. The project is slated for spring 2010

Entertainment / Resident Evil: Afterlife...in 3D
« on: July 26, 2009, 04:00:29 AM »Quote
"I always envisioned Resident Evil as a trilogy of films. And we've been very lucky where it's a trilogy where the audience has built and built. I wanted to kick off a brand new trilogy. I'm really excited we're doing it [in 3D] and we're using the same camera system [James] Cameron used for Avatar. There are a lot of exciting things about this one. I don't regard it as Resident Evil 4, I regard it as a re-tooling and rebirth of the entire franchise." - Paul W.S. Andersonhttp://www.destructoid.com/sdcc-new-resident-evil-movie-is-3d-start-of-new-trilogy-141211.phtml
Wait, what?
It's great to hear that another 3 movies of Resident Evil are coming, but why, why 3D?

Anime & Manga / Inuyasha Kanketsu-hen

This year's 34th issue of Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine will announce next Wednesday that an Inuyasha Kanketsu-hen (Inuyasha Final Chapter) television adaptation of Rumiko Takahashi's manga has been green-lit. The anime will broadcast on Japan's YTV this fall and cover the story in volumes 36 to 56 of the manga — the final 21 compiled book volumes. The original staff and cast will reunite for the new anime adaptation.http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-07-16/inuyasha-final-chapter-gets-tv-anime-green-lit

Gaming / Final Fantasy Gaiden
« on: July 01, 2009, 08:58:23 PM »
Yet, another FF game...
Quote
Square Enix’s latest teaser is for Hikari no Yon Senshi: Final Fantasy Gaiden (Four Warriors of Light: Final Fantasy Gaiden), which goes back to a trademark we uncovered exactly a month ago. The game isn’t Romancing Saga IV or Seiken Densetsu or Crystal Chronicles, all of which were the subject of speculation last week.http://www.siliconera.com/2009/07/01/four-warriors-of-light-final-fantasy-gaiden-revealed/
Hikari no Yon Senshi is a standard turn-based RPG for the DS. You play as a 14-year-old protagonist who has to save a princess. Since you’re so big and strong, naturally this task is given to you by the King himself, whose daughter has been kidnapped by a witch.
The game seems to allow you to customize the equipment of your four-man party, and the changes are all reflected on the actual 3D models. The party consists of characters you meet along the way, so you’ll probably be able to choose between several different characters. No mention is made of whether or not you’ll be able to ride the chubby dragon featured on the teaser site.
IGN note that the battle screens are missing the MP meter, and instead feature a “Charge” command. Perhaps this allows you to charge up elemental attacks or limit breaks?
Character designs are by Akihiko Yoshida, who’s worked on character designs for the Ivalice game and the Final Fantasy III remake for DS. He’s also in charge of art direction for Final Fantasy XIV. Although, I can’t tell whether it’s the quality of the scans or the game itself, but those screens don’t look very good compared to Square’s other DS games…

Anime & Manga / Darker than Black sequel
« on: June 03, 2009, 09:12:19 PM »Quote
This year's 12th issue of Square Enix's Young Gangan seinen manga magazine will announce on Friday that a television sequel for the Darker than BLACK anime has been green-lit. A file purportedly leaked from the BONES anime studio last July had revealed the plans for a "Darker than BLACK 2" anime series with original director Tensai Okamura. Character designer Yuji Iwahara had launched a new manga version of the anime in the 11th issue of the same Young Gangan magazine last month.

Gaming / OMG! My NDS box is full of rocks! (Or ITT: Dick In A Box)
« on: April 29, 2009, 04:38:06 AM »Quote
Jodi Wykle knew her son would be thrilled when she gave him a new Nintendo DS for his birthday.http://videogames.yahoo.com/events/plugged-in/florida-teen-finds-rocks-in-nintendo-ds-box/1308945
Instead, he was rocked.
According to WTSP-TV, the confused teen opened up his gift only to find bunch of stones and a rolled up Chinese newspaper in place of the popular handheld.
All I got was a rock.
Needless to say, mom was equally stunned.
"When he opened it, he was pulling the seal off, my sister-in-law carries a pocket knife and she opened it and that's when he pulled it out and it was Chinese newspaper and a bunch of rocks," she explained.
The troubling discovery prompted the Florida woman to contact the local Wal-Mart where she bought the curious box and complain, but reportedly workers there told her it wasn't their problem and that she should contact Nintendo instead. Of course, Nintendo told her roughly the same thing, leaving mother and son with a $138 box of rocks.
"They don't want to do nothing. They want me to keep the box of rocks. I'm not buying a box of rocks for $138," she said.
Amazingly enough, however, Wal-Mart soon caved after learning that the same box of rocks had been previously returned by another disgruntled customer. How exactly it made it back onto store shelves remains a mystery, but for her troubles, Wykle was given a full refund and a $20 gift card.
It's not the first time Wal-Mart has gotten into hot water for selling a questionable handheld. Earlier this month, a PSP system bought at a different Wal-Mart store in Florida was found to contain a memory stick filled with pornographic images.
A $20 gift card!? [tornado fang] yeah!
Mod power abuse - Yeah, I couldn't help myself.

Anime & Manga / Gundam Unicorn
« on: April 22, 2009, 02:25:04 PM »Quote
The June issue of Kadokawa Shoten's Monthly Gundam Ace magazine will officially announce on April 26 that an anime adaptation of Harutoshi Fukui's Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn space robot novels has been green-lit for this winter.The Gundam Unicorn story is mainly set in the year of Universal Century 0096 — three years after Char's Counterattack, the last anime to feature the protagonist Amuro and antagonist Char of the first Gundam anime series. Before penning Gundam Unicorn, Fukui wrote the stories of the C-blossom - case729 and Samurai Commando: Mission 1549 manga.
No idea about this but sounds like fun.

Shueisha's Jumpland website is now streaming three of the anime specials — Dragon Ball, Tegami Bachi, and Romance Dawn — that were screened at this fall's Jump Super Anime Tour events. The free streaming began on Monday, the day after the last stop on the tour, and it will last until January 31. There are no apparent restrictions on viewers outside Japan, although the video uses the Jumpland browser which requires Microsoft Windows.

The series emulates the aesthetic style and storytelling of American comic books, using short, multi-episode story arcs that build upon a larger, more encompassing arc. The series is produced by Universal Media Studios in association with Tailwind Productions,and it is filmed primarily in Los Angeles, California.The executive producers for the show are Allan Arkush, Dennis Hammer, Greg Beeman and Tim Kring.
Heroes is getting better and better, I didn't see coming that the master mind behind was [spoiler]Mrs. Petrelli[/spoiler]
But I don't like about Sylar chaging sides every time, they are messing up with the character now. Ep 8 wasn't aired this week but is going to do it next one.
The name of Volume Four was revealed by Heroes creator Tim Kring at the 2008 Edinburgh TV Festival. "Fugitives" will make up the last 12 episodes of Season 3.
Any thoughs?
