Man, I got so fucking busy last week. I got some prep work done for my NEW SECRET FEATURE. Still a few months out, I am sure. I am a bit backed up because of how painful work has been. Amazingly, work has gotten worse. I am now on ALL WEEK. Amazing. My life is a lie. Ok, no really. But you guys should save me by paying for me to live. Keep that in mind while you enjoy this super rollup.

Anime/Manga/Games

  • Bandai Visual is going to release Clover, a six-minute animated music video. It’ll run 1,575 yen an it’ll be out on May 25th.
  • Death Note is getting a DS game. You know you want it. It’s from Konami, it’s called Death Note: Kira Game. There’s a trailer. It’s out on the 15th.
  • Trailer: Tales of Symphonia is getting a four episode anime. The first disc hits on June 8th. You know you want it. Trailer is over this way.
  • Ge Ge Ge no Kitaro is getting a fifth anime series. Toei is doing it.
  • Kotetsu Sangokushi finally got a website that makes sense. Finally. Fuckers. You might have to go twice since sometimes the front page redirect fucks up. Geniuses.
  • A trailer is up for the Manabi Straight PS2 game, it’s out on March 29th. The full title is Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight: Kira Kira Happy Festa! Enjoy.
  • I don’t remember if I mentioned this, but by way of moetron, I found out that Nanoha StrikerS is set for 26 episodes. OR MORE!
  • Dengenki Bootleg announced an anime adaptation of the Shigofumi ~Stories of Last Letters~ light novel.
  • Hellsing 3 got delayed. No new release info available.
  • And to finish up, DelRey got a HUGE strike two in my book as they have announced their first OEL shitcan. Worst of all, they are still calling it manga. Even more so a disgusting is The Canadian Nobody herself Avril Lavigne is the namesake and appears as a character. What’s the name of this guaranteed shitpile? Avril Lavigne’s Make 5 Wishes. Wow. If you see the writer, Joshua Dysart, or the illustrator, Camilla D’Errico, on the street, kindly kick them in anything that looks tender. DelRey, you know what, fuck it. You’re off the list. Unacceptable. Thank you for dipping your toes in the luke warm sewage that is OEL. Thanks for ruining the good thing we had. It saddens me that I now have no acceptable example of how to handle the American manga market to point to. Thanks. And thanks for ChronosAI for pointing it out to me.

Figures

HURRAY! And we’re done. And I only skipped a few shitty SRDX figures. Buy me one of those Kaede figures. DO IT!! Ok, back to work on the other crap I have to do.

The Happiness figure is a repaint. It sucks even more than the original.

Yeah, first Air Gear “decicions”, now this. Last thing I thought they would do. Definitely out of my list, I’ll buy their Negima & Genshiken but nothing else, not one single volume. Too bad though, they were the best out there, guess the only company I now support is DrMaster. At least they know what is manga, what is manhua and what is manwha. It’s just comic originating from that country, nothing more, nothing less. It’s not “mind-set”, it’s not “style”, it’s definitely not “some groovy way of drawing”. It’s just about the origin. God I hate marketing and their choices of “how-to-sell-shit-to-idiots”. I’d welcome the makers of M5W with car bombs, if I were anywhere near them though. They would deserve that, single kick isn’t enough.

>NEW SECRET FEATURE
I call vaporware on this one. Anyway, I’m pretty sure that the unknown figurines are megaten monsters.

The Clover video’s finally getting a release! Woo Hoo! It originally aired before one of the CCS movies and is excellent. I can’t wait for a good DVD rip from one of the fansubbers. The video quality isn’t too good for the one released already.
