Well, Kite fans need not wait any longer to get some information about the new Kite OVA Kite Liberator. The first good news comes in the form of staffing. Umetsu Yasuomi, the original Kite creator, is doing damn near EVERYTHING for this OVA. Writing, direction, etc, etc, etc. Beyond that, the character designs are sexy, as is the premise. Noguchi Monaka, 15 years old, is a quiet high school girl with some minor vision problems (YES GLASSES!) but when the sun goes down (or possible just whenever she feels like it) she swaps over to contacts, changes up the hair and BAM! She’s a contract killer. Named, uninspiringly, Shi no Tenshi (Angel of Death). Still, looks good, and the official site is up, so enjoy it this fall when it hits.

Ohayo gozaimasu! See? I am SOOO otaku. It’s proof. Got some damn good news this weekend. Some good KyoAni news (which you already know if you watched the end of Kanon.) Well! Enough talk. Let’s make our move, de arimasu. I’ve been watching Keroro Gunsou lately. Yeah.

• I got a press release from the good people at DLSite. I actually got this one too. Thanks guys. *thumbs up* Anyway, it gives the good word that they will be accepting works from international creators. Does this mean you can turn in your idiot Amerimanga? SURE! But, by god, I hope they deny you. Hopefully this will open up to some really original international works. So if you are outside of Japan and want some commercial hosting for your work, check out CuriousFactory for details and since you’re browsing around, head on over to DLSite just for fun. Full press release after the jump. (Yes, I am putting a jump on a Weekend Rollup. Jerks.)

• Alter announcements out. Doing those after this. Just saying.
• Another 1/5 Ruri. A waitress this time or something. I don’t know. I don’t even care about her anymore.
• President Japan is putting out a 1/8 scale Ryuuna figure. She’s sporting a nice sitting pose. I vote yes. 6,090 yen this June.
• To go along with that, there’s a Mao figure in the works from PJ. Same bat time, same bat channel.

That’s it for these. Again, be sure to hit the jump for that CuriousFactory press release, and stand buy for Alter and a literally BIG update. Haha. It’s a joke, see? BIG? OH MAN! Also, I have done a lot of concept work on the NEW SECRET FEATURE OF GODLINESS. Unless things calm down at my job, it’s going to take a while to get it all together.

Last week got pretty hectic. Shame it was during WanFesu weekend. Idiots at Kotaku tried to do coverage… called it Won Fes. Amazing. And don’t try to correct them. They’ll say something stupid. They insisted to me that oneechan has one E. WRONG. WRONG DAMNIT! So anyway, the laptop is back in commission. That makes me happy. Yessir. I am also trying some new blogging software If it sucks and fucks up, I will try to fix it, but don’t blame me. Got some GSC figure announcements. I’ll roll them out into a new post though.

• Trailer: To celebrate the release of the sexy new Ikkitousen anime, here is a sexy new Ikkitousen trailer. The show aired earlier and should hit the net soon. YAY NET! It’s been DMed. I won’t be YouTubing anymore. Fuck them. Looks like it’ll be better. YAY BETTER! Still not as good as those delicious manga drawings.
• The website for the Blue Dragon anime is up and the show is due out on April 7th. WOO!
• GA Graphic has a first look at Claymore up. Kinda scary.
• Not sure if this is an overlap. Kite is getting a now anime. It’s called Kite Liberator.
• Trailer: I am not DMing anymore trailers. Too gay. Here’s a trailer for MurderPrincess. It hits the market on March 28th.
• Trailer: A trailer for the new Evangelion movie maybe? MAYBE YES! Does it have any anime footage? NO! Vaporware! YAY!
• In the interest of saving myself some time (this time around) I am going to link my good buddy pKjd’s WanFesu gallery list. Thanks for posting it up, man. I will do my own next time.
• Oh, and Shingo the Heroic went to Futaket. Bless the gods. Nothing about Futaket is worksafe. Just saying.

Figures

• Toys Works is coming out with the Hobby Devil figure to show their sexy support for Chara Hobby. YAY SEXY! She will run you 6,800 yen this May.
• Just when you thought you had heard the last of people calling your figures dolls… Here comes an Aria Playhouse… god damn. Still, it’s cute as hell. Now we just need to make it more sexually explicit. It’ll run 6,090 yen this March.
• SUKUMIZU KOMAKI! Just bust a nut all over this WAVE offering and skip the shit. I know you want to. Just do it. 3,675 yen this June. Yessir.
• Finally… a Mine Blue repaint. Who cares.

And that’s it for this shit. The performancing plugin isn’t very fun to use for huge link-filled posts. Maybe for others? Where is all the good desktop blogging software? The ones that have the shit I want are missing other things. GAH! GAAAAH! As a for instance, Blogjet isn’t a piece of crap, but the new version is too expensive, and ecto is sort of a piece of crap, but also has all the stuff I want, even the shit Blogjet is missing. Whatever. Moving along!
