old anime news and some other shit.

To reiterate the point I made the last time H20 ~Footprints in the Sand~ was mentioned, it is based off of a Christian poem written by the pope in 1432. In this poem, a man pleasures the Lord Our God with his mouth while cupping His Balls ever so gently and… shall we say… “knocking at His Glorious Back Door” with his other hand. And such did this bring about a most Holy Orgasm forth from the mighty loins of Our Heavenly Father. Such as His Semen did spray across the face of the young man, and he felt it a gift unto him from the Lord God. And so was that day made Holy. This is the story of the first Christmas, as well. Now, why they are making an anime about this, I have no idea. And what all these chicks are doing in said anime is also confusing. At any rate, there is a completely oral sex free trailer online for H20 ~Footprints in the Sand~ and it’s streaming flash, so no one should have trouble viewing it, unless they are poor, in which case they should really get a job instead of watching erotic Bible stories.

Ok, well certainly this will be a bit more interesting, visually, than the Allison to Lilia trailer. Well, then, that depends on how much you care about Tales of Symphonia. This one is also a bit longer, clocking in at 2:37 and having that ANNOYING animate.tv watermark. Bastards. Disc four is due out on the 21st of this month.

By the by, the native res on these past two trailers has been 320×240, but that is all gay in browser, so I am running them up a bit. Hit the jump for the good stuff, or stream it here. Also, I’d like to know if anyone has an opinion about linking the ASX streams. Does anyone care about them?

Well, well, well. Fans of fully animated eroge bits will be pleased. For, on this day, the opening for Ashita no Kimi to Au Tameni ~Till I Reach Your Tomorrow~ has been put online with mirrors at A BILLION different sites. The opening does have a bit of nudity in it. I only bold that so people know. I’d go with this mirror right here if you don’t know what you’re looking for. The game hits stores on November 30th. And since it’s a Purple Software game, it should be pretty good.

Now, I don’t know how many of you dear readers are avid Japanese RPG fans, but I am assuming that at least a few of you have heard of Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3. It’s really one of those amazing bits of story-telling that I love to come across. But enough about me, let’s talk about you, Persona 3 anime. Soejima Shigenori, the game’s character designer is staying on to create the anime characters, but I am a bit worried that Matsumoto Jun is helming the show as his first time directing anything more than episode spots. Still, there are some good names on board from shows like Darker than BLACK, Le Chevalier, and Ouran. Music from the guy who did Read or Die’s music.

Still, here’s hoping it doesn’t turn out like the Disgaea anime. The site, whenever it comes online will be over this way. The show is due out in January.

Yes, it’s that time of year again. That glorious day when we all set off fireworks in hopes that one of them will spook the codgers in Parliament bad enough to give them all heart attacks, or at the very least a vomit-chain-reaction sort of thing, and so the Catholics will stop being mistreated. Also, I personally use it is a good time to re-watch V for Vendetta. Anyway, I’ve finally gotten caught up a bit on my anime. I’d forgotten what great fun it is. So let’s Rollup some media. Oh, and I’ll be on Japanator’s podcast. It will be their best episode ever.

  • THIS JUST IN! GONZO and Nitro are making a new original show called BLASSREITER -genetic-, and the character designs will be by the guy who did Demonbane. Lots of big names involved anyway. It promises to be a badass bit of anime. More updates as the come in.
  • Takahashi “I’m-Incapable-Of-Ending-A-Story” Rumiko’s boxing manga One-Pound Gospel is being turned into a live-action drama. Hurray! Unlike the story itself, it won’t take the drama 20 years to come to an end. Nice work, Rumiko.
  • Cobra, a classic manga thingy, is getting an anime. Why? WHO KNOWS! The Japanese do what they want.
  • Biohazard is getting a two-chapter manga, most likely to promote the upcoming 3DCG anime. The art looks a bit slap-dash.
  • Here are some girls in bikinis for no reason.
  • Production I.G is working on a show with Masamune Shirow. It’s called RD Senno Chosashitsu. YAYYY! I don’t care. It’s out in… April of 2008.
  • Mnemosyne -Mnemosyne no Imouto Tachi-, a new sci-fi things from Xebec and Genco, was announced. It’s going to be an OVA looks like, or six episodes anyway, so might as well be an OVA. Also it’ll be full 3DCG. The site looks quite intriguing.
  • Zenryoku Usagi, a mascot character thing, is getting an anime series. It’ll be mixed into some other show, so no reason to get all excited.
  • And lastly, kure-nai has a first look thing up at the official website. That is to say, the background is now anime art instead of light novel art. Also there’s a blog and some other things. Like a drama CD, links to the novel site, etc, etc. Very sexy stuff.

And that’s it. I will do figures later tonight, and probably collapse under the weight of the amounts of trash that’s getting released. AMAZINGLY BAD STUFF IN THERE. I might skip some things, just for time and quality sake.

Hello boys and girls. Sometimes mommys and daddys have to work late on big important projects while also moving into a new place to live. On weeks like these, mommys and daddys don’t post so much. It’s not because they don’t love you, they just have shit to do, you grotty little bastard. Why don’t get learn to be a bit more fucking independent? Make up an imaginary friend for fucksake. Or get hit by a bus, I don’t care. You are the result of the shoddy workmanship behind American condoms. Now read the rollup.

And that’s it. Figures will have to wait a short while as I still don’t have a proper internets connections. That’ll be in tomorrow. THANKS THE LORD! Or… the cable company… whichever.

Also, sorry about the ducklips in the header. It’s the only decent image from this run. That I could find quickly.

Sometimes them bitches be up in my shit. YAAMEE, NIGGA?! I thoroughly do not approve of bitches, especially when their position relative my shit is not optimal. Let me put this out there before we get going. Rollup trailers won’t be put in Flash format anymore, since every video service is up the arse of anyone who whines about anything ever for the rest of time. Makes me sad. Roll it up bitches.

  • Yggdra Union is not an animus? Whaaaaa? It’s a PSP re-release of a GBA game. There’s a three minute anime opening for it. You sho’ nuff gonna enjoy it.
  • Did I post this Tower of Druaga bullshit? Small amount of footage. It’s all stupid. I HATE IT! /wrists
  • Yumedamaya: The Strange Tale of the Dreamball Dealer is getting made into an anime. How do you feel about that? It’s an award winning screenplay after all. It’s about an 11-year-old who wants to escape her everyday life. Soooo original.
  • Like dudes fucking? Saiyuki trailer online.
  • Animators and directors in Japan have started a union. Normally, I’m fairly against unions and more in favor of a government putting people before industry, but the likelihood of that happening in Japan is next to nil. So good on the animators! Hopefully they can get a fair wage and the Japanese government will take a few notes. Ah well, it’s always the millionaires who bitch first when you start talking about them having slightly less money. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

Ok, that was a pretty short rollup. Sorry not much happened. I blame you. You know how it is, guys… right?

No, no. We’re not moving back to a unified rollup for the time being. There just wasn’t dickall to post yesterday, so there you go. Today some actual news game out, so I will post it up here in a rollup, then go to the gym, so the ladies can see my washboard abs… which I don’t have.

Figures

  • Daiki is doing a 1/4 scale Majikina Mina. These initial proto shots look really good… and Daiki is a generally trustworthy company… I don’t know that I completely trust this initial shots though. Let’s wait an see. She might end up being worth the 23,100 yen this January.
  • NEXT! From Akane Maniax, via CharaAni, comes… Samba version Akane. She looks pretty good… bodysuit is a bit odd. Anyway, she’s 1/7 scale, 230mm tall and will run you 8,190 yen this January.
  • Continuing along, from Yotsunoha, is Nono-chan! She’s not really that great looking which is understandable with her coming from Toys Planning. She’s 6,500 yen, out in November, and stands 180mm tall.
  • The last ones are sort of meh, so here’s the O-JI Collection. Volume 1, Volume 2, and Volume 3.
  • HEY! There’s a big box of Metal Gear Solid figures. And they’re good. There’s five of them in the box, They’re like 20,000 yen or some shit.

Well! That’s it! I know, it was short. That makes me sad. So little information. Man, also I’m tired. I might skip the gym.

I don’t know if you guys have ever read Footprints in the Sand, but it’s a beautiful poem about a homosexual relationship with the Christian god that ends in a thoroughly sticky facial delivered by the business end of “the LORD.” At least that’s how I remember it. H20 Footprints in the Sand is similar, but includes far less man on man action and is actually a ero novel adventure game. Like Queen’s Blade or something. Also, please play against a girl. ZEXCS is animating and Tachibana Hideki is directing. And that’s all. Please to enjoy.

Have you guys been waiting on Max Factory’s Makoto figure from Kanon? No?! Yeaaah, me either really. And that’s a lot to say coming from a blatant MaxFac whore. Still, Makoto is looking extremely nice. The paint’s good, the expression and pose are nice, and… yeah. Just generally good. I would go so far as to say great, but the supplied shots make the seams in her arms look a bit obvious. Hopefully that isn’t the case. She’s out in February and will be 1/8th scale and 175mm tall. IS SHE COSTLY?! A little. She’ll be 5,800 yen.

Hit the jump for a good sexy number of pictures, sexually sexilizing themselves on the sex. Yep. Sexual.
