Did everyone have a happy Father’s Day? Well, that doesn’t matter, because the otaku nation waits for no man! I don’t really know what that means, but let’s move right along. I am sort of riding the high of Fate/stay night finishing. Actually, that was a huge downer. I won’t go beyond that so that people don’t get spoiled or anything, but know that I want to. I want to whine about it from atop my blog posts. By there’s no time for that now. We have to weekend rollup, stat.

Manga/Anime/Games

• Ok, I decided that since there is never a ton of game news for me, right now, I will just combine the lot of them. If you have a good Japanese game news site, that’s not Impress watch, let me know. I want something more concise than Game Watch. MAKE IT SO!
• Speaking of games, then, there are some Bleach: Heat the Soul 3 screens up over this-a-way.
• Del Rey picked up Densha Otoko ~Bijo to Junjou Otaku Seinen no Net Hatsu Love Story~, which roughly translates to “Crappy Shoujo Densha Otoko Manga That was Made to Cash in on the Story”
• FUNimation picked up Gin-iro no Kami no Agito and mentioned that they couldn’t get Duran Duran to let them keep the opening to Speed Grapher for American release. I guess it’s fine if some slotty-eyed, chink nobodies want it, eh Duran Duran? Way to crap on your fans in America. Some big racists right there.
• Starz Networks will be showing some anime. These to be exact: The Gokusen, Mirage of Blaze, Samurai Deeper Kyo, Ten Tokyo Warriors, Eiken, Gundress, Weathering Continent. Check your local guide for broadcast times.
• Hey! Here’s an interview with Aoyama Gosho, the creator of Conan, Huge Headed Detective. Hope I put those names in the proper order. Sort of hard to tell with all the Americanizing English news services do.
• The FUNimation channel is now live and online in the Los Angeles area on LA 18.3. Please to enjoy.
• This is a bit distressing… apparently kids in Japan are becoming increasingly stupid… that is to say, they are having more and more trouble following manga. How hard is that?! Oh fine, I’ll link the English version.
• Also, some gentleman built himself a Mehve from Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. No engine in it yet though. I’d buy one.

Figures : Blog Side Special

• Near as I can tell, there weren’t any announcements this weekend really, but that’s fine. I miss shit all the time, so I am doing some blogside features so that I can link to some of my favorite places and their figure reviews.
• Riuva is going to get two links, mostly because I like to look past the pictures at his lush condo that was built on the backs of murdered babies. So we’ll link his IchiMashi figure review first.
• Next, he actually bought that Ono figure that I hate. I don’t hate him for buying it, but I still don’t like the figure, even after the fountain-side photo review.
• Moeyo clocks in a four links with Monpuchi spotting Amy in Akiba.
• He did the same for Max Factory’s Shirakawa Kotori from Da Capo Second Season.
• And his last Akiba spotting goes to Alter’s Miyanokouji Mizuho from Otome ha Boku ni Koishiteru.
• Lastly, he slapped together a figure review for everybody’s favorite Nanoha, Takamachi Nanoha from… well, you know. They’re pink…
• Akiba Blog got some nice shots of Max Factory’s September line-up on display in Akihabara. Read that one for sure.
• Nothing to do with figures, but the title image of this Akiba Blog post was very misleading. If your job allows for nipples on the worksite, then click this link.

Ok, that’s all I’m doing this weekend. I will get on the other shit later. Get off my back about it damn. Also if anyone has two spare 1GB DDR2 RAM sticks for laptops, then give them to me. I need them to help my blogging experience run better. YOU KNOW IT’S TRUE! Blogging has two Gs right? Whatever. I hope you enjoyed the rollup, I am going to get some good now, at 14:30. I blame all of you.
