Media Rollup – September 8-9 2007

by Randall Fitzgerald on Sep.10, 2007, under america, anime, games, japan, weekend rollup

Ok kiddies, considering how I will be doing update for the time being (anime and such during the day, figures at night due to their sometimes ecchi-ness), the rollup is going to be broken up into two parts. Speaking of which, as soon as I find a proper way of filtering out adult material, I plan to try to start covering some of the more… you know… some of the things that fit me personality a bit more. Dunno when exactly I’ll get around to it, but I’m sure I will someday. You know how it is in this life. Busy, busy, busy. The list is pretty short, but let’s get this half of the party started.

Anime/Manga/Games

  • Ok, before I start, this isn’t Japanese… but still… Heavenly Sword is out this week. Just a reminder for anyone who cared but lost track of the game.
  • For some reason, and maybe I’m off base here, Tobey McGuire’s (Spiderman) production company has picked up the rights for a live action Robotech. No, not Macross. Robotech. Now, while a Robotech movie could avoid being total garbage (maybe), my main concern here is… was Tobey McGuire really that geeky? Yeah, he was Spidey, but poorly and that is just a movie roll. We should be marking our celebrities so that we know who we can trust when they jump all over some property we like. I’m looking at you James Cameron.
  • Trailer: There’s a trailer for the Prism Ark anime online. I was please to see that they released it in true eroge style and slapping an .mpg inside of an LZH file. You can get that open with WinRAR or whatever on your OS of choice. I still uploaded it, just to be nice. So here’s your DailyMotion fix.
  • Oh, this is fun. There’s a new Tamagotchi feature film in the works. It’s not something you hear much in the US, but them Japs is crazy for Tamagotchi. I’ll never understand it. I had a little bird one once. I did stuff normally for about five minutes, then I beat it to death. The film will be called Tamagotchi: Doki Doki! Uchuu no Maigatchi. That is all I care to relate about it.
  • The upcoming anime Hatara Kiss Maihamu-gumi has had its website put online. If you’re having trouble imagining what this should could be about, try imagining an anime version of Chip n’ Dale’s Rescue Rangers, only step the anthropomorphism up a notch or eight. Yeah, it’s pretty terrifying.
  • Trailer: There’s a probably wonder trailer up for Rental Magica. Sadly, the trailer is streaming. FUCK YES! By the fucking power of fucking Greyskull. I got this shit downloaded despite some issues with work port blocking. Rough. Here’s the hard-won DailyMotion link for you all.

And that’s it for the time being. I think things are working out with the new layout, though I’ve still yet to hear from gumugum as to whether it’s a piece of crap or not. Haha. Look forward to the figure news later tonight.

    Trying to pimp out the PS3 in the middle of a roll-up?! I see through your dastardly ways! Rental Magica looks pretty nice though.

    SWAAAN!

    Haha, I was just reminding people innocently of the release date.

    And yes, Rental Magica looks like hot fuck on a cold morning. Let’s hope looks aren’t deceiving in this case.

    That Prism Ark preview was so disappointing…. they didn’t even show much of the characters or anything it was just like some random scenes stuck together. (well, I guess most previews are, but this wasn’t even thought out by the looks of it.) Hopefully the eventual series will be better, heh.

    Rental Magica looks promising though….

    Pretty meh preview for Prism Ark, but still I hope they do the game justice.

    True about Rental Magica also, looks more than promising.

    And about Heavenly Sword, yeah I tried the demo and it was fancy and all that but Zero Punctuation review of it tells pretty much all there is to say about it.
