Quick Hits Fridays: April 27, 2007
All right, so when the news week is slow, I figured it might be best to post just a bunch of snippets of info. While most are newsworthy, they have either been reported by everyone else, are rumours, or there just isn’t enough information to do a whole article. New Star Ocean Game (source: Jeux [...]
Super Robot Taisen W Review
Been procrastinating on this for some time now. Might as well let this out. Super Robot Taisen W is the first SRT series for the DS. It makes use of the stylus to facilitate the examining of the map, units, and menu. It is still possible to get around without using the stylus, which is [...]
VERY MELON!!
First off, it goes without saying that Norio Wakamoto is an awesome Seiyu. He’s done great work. But this…has to be, by far, the best. May I present to you, in it’s not crappy dubbed version…Very Melon!
One Piece Acquired By Funimation
(source: animeOnline, ANN, Arlong Park) Good lord, I woke up this morning feeling like crap. I feel all better now after reading this. Yes folks, the long, painful wait is over, 4Kids now officially, undoubtedly, DOES NOT have One Piece. Funimation has acquired the rights, and the interview over at animeOnline goes through some details [...]
God Of War 2 – Screws You Over Then Makes You Want More
(source: Kotaku, GameFAQs) In what can now be considered the currently best marketing scheme to smack gamers collectively across the face for 2007, IslandOfRhodes.org countdown ran out early this morning. Without the advent of the internet, we would not know about the site, because you had to do some mad combos to even find out [...]
Debu Note (A FATe worse than death?)
(source: TVInJapan , YouTube) This is so wrong on so many levels. TVInJapan, a cool blog that posts awesome Japanese TV clips, recently posted this, Debu Note. It’s basically Death Note, but instead of dying you get fat. Words just fail to describe the sheer uberness of this. On a side note, I was having [...]
Kotetsu Shin Jeeg (OP)
(source: YouTube) This must be the week of mecha, because this is I believe the 6th mecha anime to premiere this week in Japan. An update to the Kotetsu Jeeg anime from the late 70′s/early 80′s, this supposedly is a continuation of the original (or so say the forums). With the opening song done by [...]
Days Of Memories (NDS)
(source: Ruliweb) Take some hotties from SNK’s King Of Fighters games, throw them into a dating sim game that is just on the borderline of being hentai, and then stick it on a damn cellphone. After the announcement last year that Days Of Memories would only be on cellphones, I had to go smack my [...]
Devil May Cry Anime Trailer
(source: GamesAreFun, YouTube) An updated trailer for the new Devil May Cry anime has popped up on the internet, and this time it actually shows some animation. This one looks bloody, as to be expected, and more than likely, will see a DVD release here in the US, unless some channel picks it up.
Gurren-Lagann OP
(source: YouTube) The new anime season has started in Japan, and one of the latest mecha offerings, Gurren-Lagann, has recently aired. Thanks to YouTube, an opening theme has managed to leak it way on the web, and this looks to be a fun romp, so I’d keep an eye out on this one. I especially [...]
