Weekend Rollup - January 28-29Lo 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.
  • But then says the policy is not yet concrete. I wonder how this will effect all of my Yotsuba&! futanari requests that I made… DON’T JUDGE ME!

Figures

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.

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.   [...]
