Lo and behold, an angel came down from on high and said unto the people, “It’s weekend rollup time.” And so it was, and it was good.
Anime
- Cast information for Ergo Proxy is up.
- Mononoke-Hime apparently aired on YTV in Canada this weekend… so… congratulations Canada?
- Madhouse has announced TOKYO TRIBES 2 production will begin soon, to air this fall.
- ADV Films announced the release of the UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie OVA to be released after the TV series and Prefectural Earth Defense Force to be released in March and will only be subbed and will only be $12.98 and will likely not be carried by most retailers.
- The Tokyo Metropolitan Government is holding a day of free culture awareness programs in New York City on February 7th. The event will be called Tokyo Festa.
- Otakon squelches fan art in Artist Alley.

- Pre-orders are open on the Petoko resin kit from Orchid Seed.
- B-Club’s Cagalli polystone figure will be out in April.
- Cerberus Project’s Chii gets announced for June and has preorders shut down all in the same breath.
- But, Cerberus Project’s Wonder Festival line-up gets a looking at to keep us happy until the pre-order opens back up. (A bit risque for those at work… I’d say they’re worth getting fired to look at…)
- May has been added to the Figure Alternative release pile.

- Don’t forget your RO Trading Figures, like I told you about.
- And to finish up, two PVCs from Yujin, the Hitotsubashi Yurie figure from Kamichu and the Aika PVC from Aria
And somehow… there wasn’t any manga news. Can you believe that? Maybe I should split these up into multiple posts… oh well… maybe next time. Enjoy the light reading.
[...] Did you guys get excited about the Natsuki figure I linked in the last Weekend Rollup? You remember… from this morning. Well Akibajin has the stuff you need in their latest photoshoot. They start with the classic poses. Then they go for some low angle stuff. Then they take her skirt off. So, if you’re at work and such a thing would be inappropriate, I have to say… don’t follow that link up there. [...]
[...] The day before Tokyo Festa, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government will be holding an industry only event in New York. The event, the Tokyo International Anime Fair, will take place on February 6th and will include a Trade show from 3p.m. to 7p.m., and presentations by Bandai, Toei, and several others. The schedule for the event is looking a bit cramped, so best of luck to those who make it on getting good information. [...]
[...] Anyway! On to the news! After announcing that they'd picked up the license for PEDF at Ushicon on the 28th, ADV has made a quick turn around on setting a date for the official DVD release of the show. The not-to-be-dubbed anime will be released with a web-only status on the 18th of April. And if you forgot, web-only just means they won't be shipping them to major retailers, although the retailers can still order them in if they want. [...]
