<blockquote>We've just added a late addition to our Q4 schedule - <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=15118">Log Horizon</a></cite> S1 and S2 Collector's Edition. This will be cased in an artbox with artcards and exclusive to Blu-ray. Seasons 1 and 2 will be released separately on DVD next year.</blockquote>
<p>The anime studio <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=415">Satelight</a></cite> produced the series. <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=28779">Shinji Ishihira</a></cite> directed the anime, and <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=11608">Toshizo Nemoto</a></cite> was charge of the series scripts. <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=8102">Sentai Filmworks</a></cite>, which distributed the film in America, described the story:</p>
<blockquote>Elder Tales has become a global phenomenon, immersing millions of players in its online fantasy world. However, something goes wrong with the twelfth expansion pack. Eight-year veteran Shiroe and 30,000 other players suddenly find themselves trapped in the game's no-longer-fictional universe!<p>Except it's not even exactly the game they knew: things are in different places, the portals don't work, and if a gamer was playing an avatar who wasn't a physical match for their real self... well, let's just say that everyone who's been playing is going to have to make some serious adjustments to their new world view.</p>
<p>On top of that, the former Non-Player-Characters are now self-aware and working towards their own ends. This collision of the Elder Tale people and players with seemingly impossible skills, abilities, and knowledge promises to be cataclysmic. Get ready for heroes to rise and new legends to be forged as Shiroe and fellow players Naotsugu and Akatsuki discover what happens when sword and sorcery becomes real!</p>

CHATSWORTH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 10, 2004--<cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=28">Image Entertainment, Inc.</a></cite> (Nasdaq:DISK - News), a leading <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=115">licensee</a></cite> and distributor of DVD programming in North America, and an emerging audio distributor, in conjunction with Treadstone Records, an innovative recording label, proudly presents the unique fusion of hard-hitting American rock and the cutting edge of Japanese anime with the April 6 release of the soundtrack from <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=3423">GALERIANS: RION</a></cite>.<br>
<br>
<br>
The raw energy of the rock world merges with the exhilarating sci-fi world of Japanese feature anime in this unprecedented soundtrack. Never before has a Japanese anime film utilized Western music in this manner, nor have so many gold and platinum selling artists lent their talents to such a global entertainment fusion. Featuring 14 explosive tracks from some of industrial and rock's heaviest hitters, such as Slipknot, <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=178877">Fear Factory</a></cite>, The Ataris, <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=178875">Sevendust</a></cite>, <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=178873">Adema</a></cite> and more, the soundtrack is part of a unique DVD package.<br>
<br>
"These tracks were selected especially for their resonance with the storyline and the feel of the film," said George Steele, head of Image's Music Group. "The result is a remarkable compilation CD with incredible talent, as well as the next dimension in anime soundtracks."<br>
<br>
Complementing the cutting-edge, fully 3-D computer-generated film, the tracks sizzle as part of a rescored alternate soundtrack on the DVD itself. The CD includes an unreleased remix of <cite class="e person">Fear Factory</cite>'s song "Archetype," which also spawned a music video combining stunning anime footage from the film. The music video will be shown on national television outlets and on the website, www.galeriansrion.com. It will also be available as a bonus feature on <cite class="e person">Fear Factory</cite>'s fall 2004 CD release.<br>
<br>
In the film <cite class="e anime">GALERIANS: RION</cite>, Earth's population has been enslaved by Dorothy, a genocidal computer. Only a viral program developed by her creator can emancipate the human race, and only one of Dorothy's own super-powered <cite class="e anime">Galerians</cite> holds the key to unlocking the code and destroying the human who carries it. Rion is dispatched to find his childhood friend, Lilia, daughter of Dorothy's creator. As he uncovers the truth about himself and his origins, he is forced to battle not only the <cite class="e anime">Galerians</cite> -- but himself!<br>
<br>
"By adding the edgy soundtrack and score to an incredible anime feature, we've merged the freshest of Japanese anime with Western music and created a truly international work," Treadstone president <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=22628">Jonathan Platt</a></cite> said. "It raises the bar on anime soundtracks, and we're excited to be at the forefront of this fusion."<br>
<br>
The CD comes with an exclusive, collectible character trading card from the film, as well as an 8-page booklet featuring images from the film and artist and song information.<br>
<br>

<cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=23981">VIZ PICTURES</a></cite> ANNOUNCES THEATRICAL SCREENING OF LINDA LINDA LINDA IN<br>
BOSTON<br>
<br>
Film About An All-Girl Rock And Roll Band A Favorite At International<br>
Film Festivals And Features Soundtrack By Ex-<cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=65947">Smashing Pumpkins</a></cite><br>
Guitarist<br>
<br>
San Francisco, CA, January 8, 2007 – <cite class="e company">Viz Pictures</cite>, an affiliate of<br>
<cite class="e company">VIZ</cite><br>
Media LLC, the leading U.S. publisher of Japanese animation and comics<br>
that focuses on Japanese live-action film distribution, has announced<br>
the theatrical screening of the critically acclaimed rock and roll film<br>
LINDA LINDA LINDA in Cambridge, MA. The film debuted in New York City<br>
to<br>
rave reviews. The Boston release will take place at the Brattle Theatre<br>
in Cambridge beginning on January 12th running through January 18th,<br>
2007.<br>
<br>
LINDA LINDA LINDA was directed by <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=54886">Nobuhiro Yamashita</a></cite> and depicts what<br>
happens to an all-girl high school rock band following an untimely<br>
break-up over musical differences. Only three days before their high<br>
school festival, guitarist Kei (Yu Kashii), drummer Kyoto (<cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=7417">Aki Maeda</a></cite> of<br>
Battle Royale), and bassist Nozumi (Shiori Sekine) are forced to<br>
recruit<br>
a new lead vocalist for their band. They choose Korean exchange student<br>
Son (<cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=244956">Doona Bae</a></cite> of Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance), though her comprehension<br>
of Japanese is a bit rough! It’s a race against time as the group<br>
struggles to learn three tunes for the festival’s rock<br>
concert—including<br>
a classic '80s punk-pop song by the Japanese group <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=188511">THE BLUE HEARTS</a></cite><br>
called “Linda Lindaâ€â€¦<br>
<br>
LINDA LINDA LINDA is ultimately about the growing camaraderie between<br>
the band and their new singer and the amusingly awkward relationships<br>
between each girl and her respective family, teachers and other<br>
students<br>
<br>
The film has been critically acclaimed at more than 40 film festivals<br>
around the world, including Toronto International Film Festival, London<br>
International Film Festival, International Film Festival Rotterdam,<br>
etc.<br>
Linda Linda Linda was also named 2006 Winner, “Number One Film of the<br>
Year by Eiga Geijutsu Magazine which is one of the most prestigious<br>
film<br>
magazines in Japan. The film garnered rave reviews at its US premiere<br>
in<br>
New York and continues the momentum as it makes it's way across the<br>
country in selected cities.<br>
<br>
The film’s eclectic score, composed by ex-<cite class="e person">Smashing Pumpkins</cite> guitarist<br>
James Iha, combined with the infectious covers of several Blue Hearts<br>
songs, a cameo appearance by the Ramones, and a healthy does of punk<br>
belligerence produces this wonderfully entertaining and off-beat story.<br>
Audiences will root for these young musicians to overcome the dramas of<br>
high school rivalries in this film gem. For more information on the<br>
film<br>
please go to http://linda-movie.com.<br>
<br>

<p>The <i>Brooklyn Nine Nine</i> and <i>America's Got Talent</i> star streamed the game as part of an effort to raise money for the Hope for the Holidays charity campaign by the American Red Cross. The stream attracted about 98,000 viewers and raised over USD$200,000 by its end. </p>
<p>Of course, fans couldn't let Crews off the hook without getting his take on the inevitable and eternal debate of Who Is Best Girl. His answer? Junko Enoshima.</p>

<p>The website describes the anime's story:</p>
<blockquote>
Sagrada, a town where almost half the population possess special powers. The town's administration bureau provides oversight on those with powers, and its inhabitants mostly live in peace. These powers were brought by gentle and heartfelt wishes such as "being able to make the tears from the person in front of me disappear," or "to be heard by someone."<p>Kei Asai has an eidetic memory, allowing him to perfectly remember anything he sees and hears, while Misora Haruki can turn back or "reset" time for a maximum of three days. While Misora forgets her memories of the future when she performs a "reset," Kei does not. Using their powers together, they are capable of changing the past to affect the present.</p>
<p>But there is one part of their past that they cannot escape. Two years ago, due to a reset by Misora, their classmate Sumire Souma died. Now, as members of their school's "Service Club," Kei and Misora spend their days accomplishing various requests from their schoolmates while searching for any possible way they can bring back Sumire Souma. One day, they find a request waiting for them: "I'd like you to bring my dead cat back to life."</p>
<p>To erase the sadness in their past, Kei and Misora run through time, and change the world.
</p>

<p>I enjoyed the first season of <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=10441">Netflix</a></cite>'s <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=19668">Castlevania</a></cite>, but its very limited runtime made it feel less like a full season of television and more like a movie that had been broken up into more digestible chunks. Writer <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=93967">Warren Ellis</a></cite>' characteristically rough-hewn dialogue made for solid banter and the plot delivered an entertaining yet familiar story, but I couldn't help but feel that those first four episodes were just scratching the surface of this adaptation's potential. Thankfully, <cite class="e anime">Castlevania</cite> really gets to cut loose in this second eight-episode season, expanding the cast and the story while providing even more of the extravagantly gory action that made such a splash in 2017.</p>
<p>The biggest improvement on the writing side of things is that the heroes get much more time to build a rapport with one another now that everyone has met. Alucard and Trevor share a delightfully snippy love-hate relationship, and Sypha makes sure to point out how absurdly childish it is whenever she can. Sypha and Trevor share a cute chemistry with one another, which I couldn't help but find charming, even when they ended up feeling a little underdeveloped by the season's end. If there's any dynamic that I would have loved to have seen more of, it would be Alucard's tempestuous relationship with his father, Dracula – late in season 2, we get some truly heartbreaking interactions between the pair, but I couldn't help but feel that both of their character arcs were strangely backloaded. For a series that's ostensibly all about Dracula, the two surviving members of the Tepes bloodline get surprisingly little to do until the season's climactic moments. </p>
<p>None of the deficiencies in character development are due to faults in the vocal performances, anyhow. <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=158710">Richard Armitage</a></cite> continues to amiably mumble his way through the role of the disgruntled hero, and <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=156663">James Callis</a></cite> does a similarly admirable job of giving Alucard an air of soft-spoken internal torment. <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=156662">Alejandra Reynoso</a></cite>'s turn as Sypha is consistently charming, and she gets most of the season's best quips. Still, my pick for the series' MVP would likely be <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=91231">Graham McTavish</a></cite> as Dracula. He imbues the tortured vampire lord with a gravitas and grief-tinged stoicism, and though he only gets to show Dracula's most monstrous side a few times throughout the series, he makes each of those moments count. </p>
<p>The supporting cast also does well. <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=174876">Adetokumboh M'Cormack</a></cite> makes perhaps the biggest impression as Dracula's misanthropic human forgemaster Isaac, who may be the series' most complex and nuanced character. Carmilla is a vampire mistress who also makes a strong impression – she lends an amusing and welcome sardonic edge to Dracula's boys' club. <cite class="e anime">Castlevania</cite>'s character writing is generally excellent across the board, provided you have a tolerance for Ellis' rather blunt approach to writing dialogue. (If a character is feeling something, they'll usually just come right out and say it, and they'll toss in a healthy dose of f-bombs for good measure.)</p>
<p>My primary concerns with the storytelling in <cite class="e anime">Castlevania</cite>'s second season are extensions of what I felt held back the first season, which is to say the show suffers from some wonky pacing. The series' origins as a trio of films continue to poke through the show's structure, as many episodes don't have much of a narrative arc on their own – they're simply continuations of scenes that began in a previous episode or the beginnings of exchanges that will be continued in a following chapter. I'm usually not one to quibble with the expectations borne out of production for streaming services, but <cite class="e anime">Castlevania</cite> is one of the first times where I've felt that binge-watch model has hurt a story more than it has helped. </p>
<p>It feels like around half of the series runtime across both seasons is devoted to action sequences, with the remaining plot being spread somewhat haphazardly throughout. This means that there are many stretches in the middle of season 2 where I would forget how much progress the heroes had made in their quest to discover the secrets to Dracula's castle, or where I would think an episode was only through its first act right when the credits were about to roll. The series' conclusion gets the worst of the pacing problems; episodes six and seven are basically an hour's worth of Team Belmont killing their way to Dracula, with almost all of the plot-resolution, sequel-baiting, and final character beats getting unceremoniously crammed into the last episode, which ends up feeling about three times longer than it should. If I had just watched the series in one sitting, this might not have been so much of a distraction for me, but viewers should go into <cite class="e anime">Castlevania</cite> knowing that it views better when binged. </p>
<p>In any case, I can't complain much about <cite class="e anime">Castlevania</cite>'s action to narrative ratio, because the series contains some of the most thrilling sequences of bone-crunching, vampire-exploding spectacle this side of a <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=4774">Kouta Hirano</a></cite> manga. Producer <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=159282">Adi Shankar</a></cite> and Studio Powerhouse have really gone out of their way to capture the feeling of kicking ass in a <cite class="e anime">Castlevania</cite> video game – more than anything else, <cite class="e anime">Castlevania</cite> earns its stripes as one of the all-time greatest video game adaptations simply by virtue of letting Trevor, Sypha, and Alucard deliver a plethora of creative ways to make monsters dead. </p>
<p>The animation itself is somewhat reserved at times, with the stiff movements reminding me of early 2000s adult animation like <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=68050">Todd McFarlane</a></cite>'s Spawn series that aired on <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=7249">HBO</a></cite>, but what the show lacks in technical polish it more than makes up for with panache. <cite class="e anime">Castlevania</cite> is just so damned aesthetically cool that I'm more than willing to forgive the show's narrative foibles for how much it dedicates itself to giving us an animated series that fans could only have dreamed of when playing the games decades ago. The season's penultimate episode is an especially indulgent feast for the eyes, and a classic piece of <cite class="e anime">Castlevania</cite> music finally makes an appearance to sweeten the moment. </p>
<p><cite class="e anime">Castlevania</cite>'s second season is far from perfect, but it takes the foundations of its first season and does what any adaptation of a venerated video game <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=70">franchise</a></cite> should, which is satisfy old fans while giving the uninitiated something entertaining to chew on. The script isn't Ellis' best work, but the crew's enthusiasm for creating this story always shines through, making for truly engaging entertainment. <cite class="e company">Netflix</cite>'s <cite class="e anime">Castlevania</cite> is absolutely worth watching, whether you've loved the games for years, or you simply have a thirst for brutal action that comes with a heaping helping of cheesy gore on the side.</p>

<p>■Season 2 Synopsis<br>
After many years of strife, the three factions of Chojin: Seigi, Akuma, and Perfect came together and signed the
Three-Faction Peace Treaty and true peace finally spread across the galaxy... Or so we thought.<br>
But then a mysterious group of elite Perfect Chojin called Perfect Large Numbers Corps appeared to try to withdraw
the treaty.<br>
Faced with this unexpected situation, <cite class="e anime">Kinnikuman</cite> and Terryman from the Seigi Chojin faction, as well as Buffaloman
and a total of seven former enemy Akuma Chojin also suddenly join in the fight and fierce battles are held around the
world!<br>
But the ones who call themselves "True Perfect Chojin" are all unmatched in strength and casualties keep adding up
from both the Seigi and Akuma fighters. On top of that, the second wave of fighters from Perfect Large Numbers
Corps arrives, seemingly signaling the end for our heroes... But then Robin Mask, Ramenman, Brocken. Jr., and
Warsman from the Seigi Chojin appear! Round 2 of this fierce battle between factions begins now!</p>

<p align="center"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" border="0" width="600" height="337" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/interest/131408/splatrio1.jpg" class="lazyload"></p>
<p>The game will run an in-game promotion alongside the 33rd <cite class="e company">Sanrio</cite> Character Ranking <a href="https://sanriocharacterranking.com/en/" target="_blank">contest</a>. Players will be able to participate in a "Which is cuter?" contest to determine the most popular character among Hello Kitty, Cinnamoroll, My Melody, and Pompompurin. A special Turf War Splatfest will determine which <cite class="e company">Sanrio</cite> character comes out on top. The first wave of the competition will involve Hello Kitty and Cinnamoroll and run from May 19-20. The second wave will involve My Melody and Pompompurin and run from May 26-27. </p>
<p align="center"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" border="1" width="600" height="326" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/interest/131408/splatrio2.jpg" class="lazyload"></p>
<p>The in-game campaign outfits for Inklings will also be available in the real world. Four varieties of T-shirts with the collaboration's <cite class="e company">Sanrio</cite> character designs are <a href="https://store.nintendo.co.jp/category/FEATURE_SANRIO/" target="_blank">available</a> for pre-order through the My <cite class="e company">Nintendo</cite> Store online shop. Each shirt costs 4,536 yen (about US$41), and some physical <cite class="e company">Sanrio</cite> stores in Japan will also begin offering them in the middle of May. </p>

<p>In addition, fans can <a href="https://sanriocharacterranking.com/collabos/" target="_blank">vote</a> for the collaboration characters in the Collaboration division of this year's <cite class="e company">Sanrio</cite> Character Ranking. As with the main character popularity contest, people throughout the world can vote once per day until June 11. </p>
<p><cite>Splatoon 2</cite> shipped last July. The game has <a href="/news/2018-02-16/splatoon-2-is-switch-1st-2-million-seller-in-japan/.127881">sold</a> 2,016,182 copies in Japan as of February 11 to become the first Switch game to surpass 2 million copies sold in Japan. The game is also the best-selling Switch game in Japan so far. The game's paid "Octo Expansion" will <a href="/news/2018-03-09/splatoon-2-game-adds-single-player-octo-expansion-in-summer/.128759">launch</a> this summer. </p>

<p><strong><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=886">LUPIN THE 3RD</a></cite> FIAT 500 FULL FUNCTION MICRO R/C</strong><br>
<strong>Toyline: </strong>Bit Char-G<strong></strong><br>
<strong>Series: </strong><em><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=127">Castle of Cagliostro</a></cite></em><br>
<strong>By:</strong> TakaraTomy/Megahouse</p>
<p>After last week's tragedy of the <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=7816">Sky Girls</a></cite> “toy,” I stormed into ANN HQ and angrily demanded a good toy (i.e., begged and sobbed hysterically). Thus, I'd like to introduce a new feature here at Astro Toy: Astro Toy Classic, where instead of reviewing something new and potentially very crappy, I review an older, classic toy that I know is good because I bought it for myself years ago. It's probably more for my sanity than you guys, but I hope you won't mind hearing about some of the awesomest anime toys of the last decade. If you do, let me know in the comments.<br>
<br>
</p>
<div align="center"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="500" height="375" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/astro-toy/29215/01.jpg" class="lazyload"></div>
<p>So I'm happy to start with one of my favorites, an absolute gem in that it is small and just about perfect — the <em><cite class="e anime">Lupin the 3rd</cite></em> <em><cite class="e anime">Castle of Cagliostro</cite></em> Bit Char-G mini-R/C car. If you've already seen <em><cite class="e anime">Castle of Cagliostro</cite></em> — the <em><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=3053">Lupin</a></cite></em> film directed by <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=51">Hayao Miyazaki</a></cite> and easily one of the greatest anime flicks ever made — you know that <cite class="e anime">Lupin</cite>'s Fiat 500 is part of one of the movie's outstanding car chase. The Bit Char-G replicates the Fiat, complete with <cite class="e anime">Lupin</cite> driving and Jigen hanging out the top, in two and a quarter inches.</p>
<div align="center"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="500" height="375" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/astro-toy/29215/02.jpg" class="lazyload"></div>
<p>Both figures have better sculpting than I've seen in many an Astro Toy subject (that's more an indictment of previous Astro Toy subjects than praise for the Bit Char-G figures, which are well-sculpted but not mind-blowingly so). The car matches the cel animation line for line, complete with <cite class="e anime">Lupin</cite>'s secret turbo boost thing hidden in the trunk:</p>
<div align="center"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="500" height="375" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/astro-toy/29215/03.jpg" class="lazyload"></div>
<p>It also comes with a regular trunk piece if you don't want the turbo boost, but man, you have the world's greatest thief driving and the world's best gunman hanging out the sunroof — why wouldn't you want the turbo boost?</p>
<p>The R/C's small size is impressive, but what's more impressive is how well it moves. First check out the controller:</p>
<div align="center"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="500" height="375" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/astro-toy/29215/04.jpg" class="lazyload"></div>
<p>You'll notice the sigil of Cagilostro on there — not stunning, necessarily, but a very nice touch given its role in the movie. The two large buttons are very simply one for forward and backward, and one for right and left. That means — as opposed to most small and/or cheap R/C cars made in America — that the two-inch Bit Char-G has a full range of movement, and none of that forward and back-and-to-the-right crap. The antenna easily extends from the base, but also has a dial in the back for easy retraction, so it stays very compact. Charging the car itself is as easy as this:</p>
<div align="center"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="500" height="375" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/astro-toy/29215/05.jpg" class="lazyload"></div>
<p>And it doesn't take long. After not playing with this R/C for at least four years — oh, and apparently leaving the on switch on, necessitating new batteries — the car charged in less than a minute. I got 15+ minutes of driving time; really, I had to stop because I had to get back to writing Astro Toy) and at least 30 feet in range with no problems, which is the entirety of my office.</p>
<p>I'd forgotten how well the R/C actually handles, too. Man, this thing can make some seriously sharp turns — I'm talking a full 360 in the area of a softball. It actually probably turns too sharply, at least for those who first pick up the controller; it takes a minute to get used to how responsive the steering is. Occasionally, you'll actually turn it so fast the car will tip over, but given how fast the R/C car actually gets — I have no way to measure it, but it's pretty damn quick for such a tiny little car — it's not often at all. And once you get used to the speed and turning, you won't have any problems whatsoever.</p>
<div align="center"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="500" height="375" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/astro-toy/29215/06.jpg" class="lazyload"></div>
<p>And it comes with an inch-and-a-half little figure of Fujiko in her camo from the movie. I'm not sure why, exactly — she's not in the car scene in any way and the figure likewise really doesn't add anything to the play value — but it's a nice extra, I guess.</p>
<p>I cannot tell you how much this thing impresses me, even five years later. The car chase scene from <em><cite class="e anime">Castle of Cagliostro</cite></em> is so grand I would have bought virtually any merchandise that reminds me of it (and I actually have, which might show up in a future Astro Toy Classic). To get an R/C version of <cite class="e anime">Lupin</cite>'s Fiat 500 is one thing; to have it include <cite class="e anime">Lupin</cite> in the driver's seat and a gun-toting Jigen hanging out the sun roof is another thing, and it's totally awesome. Now, add the fact that it's not just an R/C car, but an adorably miniature one — and one that works so incredibly well… it all ends up as one of my favorite anime toy purchases of all time, and one of the gems in my collection.</p>
<div align="center"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="500" height="375" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/astro-toy/29215/07.jpg" class="lazyload"></div>
<p>The <cite class="e anime">Lupin</cite> Bit Char-G was offered in 2001, so if you want one… I don't know what to tell you. There aren't any currently on ebay that I can find, but if one shows up, I'd expect to pay at least $50 for it, and probably more. Now, if you're more interested in the R/C aspect than the <cite class="e anime">Lupin</cite>, TakaraTomy did make Bit Char-G versions of the cars from both <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=395">Initial D</a></cite> and <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=776">Speed Racer</a></cite> at least, and likely more. If you don't care about the anime aspect, there are plenty of Bit Char-G cars on ebay, although I think the Bit Char-G line is actually over in Japan. So you have some options, unless you want what I got. Which you should. Because it's awesome.</p>
<div align="center"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="500" height="375" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/astro-toy/29215/08.jpg" class="lazyload"></div>
<p>Even if my cat doesn't seem to think so. Remember, if you liked Astro Toy Classic — or loathed it to the core of your being and it fills you with the same kind of rage that I had for that <em><cite class="e anime">Sky Girls</cite></em> piece of crap from last week — please let me know if the comments. Even if you guys like it, I probably won't run it more than once every 3 months or so. But even if you hate it, I very much appreciate the chance to heal from last week.</p>

<p>When I reviewed the last volume of Bride's Story, I mentioned how my greatest hope for the series was that it would eventually turn its piercing eye towards a story more focused and dramatic than the slice of life vignettes so far. Though the manga was endearing and beautiful, it wasn't always gripping, and sometimes felt more like a travelogue than a story. In volume six, all my requests were answered in spades. Building off of the slow drama seeded by Azel's first attempt to retrieve his sister, this volume explodes in dramatic fireworks, demonstrating <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=32159">Kaoru Mori</a></cite> is just as capable of presenting high action drama as she is of capturing the small details of everyday life.</p>
<p>Volume six opens with a fairly peaceful chapter, one focused on the classic disconnect between the ways Amir and Karluk see each other. When Karluk requires new clothes due to a recent growth spurt, he requests Amir not lather these robes in childish good-luck charms. Karluk is tired of being treated like a boy, even though he <i>is</i> still a boy - his marriage to Amir has forced him to essentially live up to her maturity as best he can, and this anxiety is only compounded by the fact that he has other responsibilities to assume as the eldest son of his family. Meanwhile, while Amir certainly loves Karluk, she often expresses that love in the form of protection - he's still almost a little brother to her, someone she wishes would grow up just a little faster. This relationship dynamic is at the heart of Bride's Story, and the ways these two come to a variety of compromises in defining their communal space is one of the core emotional strengths of the narrative.</p>
<p>That question of whether Karluk is a boy or a man comes under direct questioning in this volume's central story, when his village comes under attack. But the chapters build slowly towards that point, centering us in Amir's brother Azel's perspective as he tends horses and goes with his father to negotiate with the Badan leaders. Focusing on Azel here is a smart choice by Mori, and one that's been well-earned by the preceding volumes. Even though Azel is something of an antagonist, we can still see strong personalities and values upheld by him and his close associates. These chapters are also just a visual wonder - never one to hold back from difficult visual feats, Mori almost seems to be showing off in this volume, as a chapter of horse-tending and later chapters of heated battle demand depictions of entire fleets of horses in motion, galloping and tearing at the dusty earth.</p>
<p>In addition to building off well-earned character stories, this volume also makes smart use of the story's larger worldbuilding whispers. The approaching threat of Russian intervention was a thread stoked largely throughout the faraway <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=266944">Smith</a></cite> chapters, but here, that question is given direct expression through the Badan clan, Russia's pawns. The slow build of both Russia's presence and Azel's proud, straightforward personality make the conflict of the volume's second half seem inevitable; of course the Badan can't be trusted, and of course Azel would be the one to rise to the challenge of fighting them.</p>
<p>In the volume's second half, all of these conflicts come to a head, as the Halgal and Badan stage a direct assault on Karluk's village. These chapters give basically every character a chance to shine; Azel's conflicted loyalties and dramatic fighting skills make him the story's central action hero, but Amir is not to be outdone, demonstrating a mixture of quick thinking and battle savvy that nicely contrast against her inconsistent domestic confidence. Horses rear and cannons fire and the walls come tumbling down, all depicted in stunning clarity and energetic panel composition by Mori's steady hand. <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=11126">A Bride's Story</a></cite>'s excellent character work, sturdy worldbuilding, and beautiful artistry are all in peak form throughout this volume, strengths that combine with the gripping drama to make this easily the most impressive volume yet of a manga that started great and has only gotten better.</p>

<p>Akiyamakobo will begin shipping the painted, fully assembled head next January. The wall plaque is octagonal, as inspired by the anime's AT Field barrier.</p>

With her old memories and personality restored, Catarina learns an even more disturbing truth: The world and people she knows in her new life is identical to one of her favorite otome dating sims, <cite>Fortune Lover</cite>, and Catarina Claes is the villainous ice queen whose life will ultimately end in tragedy once the plucky heroine wins the heart of Geordo Stuart, Catarina's betrothed. Is there any way for Catarina to use her otaku expertise to reverse the fates of the many handsome noblemen in her life, and thus escape her ultimate doom? </p>

<p>Standing as the first adaptation of a recent trend in isekai light novels, My Next Life as a Villainess offers a refreshing twist on the usual “transported to a videogame world” concept. Rather than arriving as a destined hero or dashing adventurer, Villainess' heroine Catarina Claes finds herself in an otome game - and what's more, she's trapped in the role of the game's cruel and heartless antagonist. Knowing her predicted life path inevitably ends in either exile or death, Catarina must work to overcome her own destiny, and escape her well-earned demise.</p>
<p>Even Villainess' base concept feels like a much more creative, engaging use of the “trapped in a videogame” conceit than most isekai. Often, these shows use the inherent game-like nature of their worlds as a sort of worldbuilding shorthand, to avoid the difficult work of actually creating a compelling alternate reality. In contrast, Villainess isn't just using game terms because they're universally understood - it actually dives into the contrived and inherently amusing nature of Catarina's “source material,” and centers on a character who's essentially already read the strategy guide. Villainess' premiere finds both great comedy and strong character beats in Catarina's attempts to rewrite history, with the inherent looming threat of the game's original path providing a natural sense of urgency and encroaching doom.</p>
<p>It also helps greatly that Catarina herself is such a fun character to follow. I tend to generally be a fan of stories that show sympathy for their villains, and Catarina makes for a terrific underdog, with her attempts to rewrite her own history hitting a strong balance of well-intentioned and misguided. Catarina's villainous destiny means the characters around her don't naturally gravitate to her side; she has to work to earn their respect or trust, and so far, the secondary characters are looking to have just as much personality and agency as Catarina herself. In spite of also setting up the show's premise and rambling through a variety of comedic setpieces, this episode is able to rise to a well-earned dramatic finale, where she metaphorically and literally breaks through to her brother Keith.</p>
<p>Villainess' production is also reasonable on the whole. The show's characters are expressive, and though their designs don't always mesh perfectly with the show's backgrounds, those backgrounds are themselves detailed and lovingly painted. The animation is about average, but that never felt like a dramatic limitation; Villainess is driven by its writing, and this episode's writing was excellent throughout.</p>
<p>On the whole, Villainess' comedy, characters, and overall charm surprised and impressed me from start to finish. Villainess wasn't on my radar coming into this season, but I'm now eager to see where Catarina's journey goes, and urge everyone to check out this endearing show.</p>

</b><p>This wasn't among my most anticipated titles of the new season but it's still been on my radar ever since the anime adaptation of the source novels got green-lighted last summer. The concept at least shows that the isekai genre is trying to come up with fresh variations on standard concepts, and this one particularly intrigued me: rather than the protagonist being inserted as the central character of the game, she is instead one of the main villains and has to figure out a way to avoid her fate. Fortunately she came to her senses about that early enough to start laying the groundwork years ahead of time, and that is what the entirety of the first episode is about.</p>
<p>Although “stuck in a game” has become a tiresome isekai gimmick, this approach breathes new life into the premise. Like with <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=22255">Ascendance of a Bookworm</a></cite> (which is arguably its main competition this season), the other key to its potential success is the adorability of its protagonist. Catarina may not be quite the charmer that Myne is, but she has her own appeal, and her much more physically active version of earnest determination is just as refreshing; I particularly loved how she smashed through the door with the axe and her great reaction when her mother showed up to punish her for it. Her mind space where she works out how she's going to approach every step in the process is also just as cute as Myne's inner expressions of joy, and the debate between different incarnations of her character is a clever way to illustrate her inner thoughts.</p>
<p>What should be interesting to see going forward is how her relationship develop with other important characters, given what she know about the story and its various paths. The tricky part for her is that she has four paths that she has to simultaneously worry about and thus cut off each one. She seems to be making good headway already with her adoptive brother, but the more interesting case is the prince. She knows from the game that he has a dark and twisted side, but what she doesn't seem to be accounting for as this point is that he may not have developed that yet; he may well be an innocent soul at this point. Perhaps it was the original Catarina's behavior that drove him in that direction and she is already unwittingly setting things on a better path?</p>
<p>The technical merits here are nothing special, but I already think it's likely that I will wind up following this one.</p>

</b><p>As happens from time to time, I enjoyed this episode far more than I perhaps should have. As an adaptation of the source material, it's definitely moving in fast-forward, less in terms of how many chapters we're covering (it's roughly two) and more in the number of events that the story's just flying through. Catarina (yes, it's a different spelling than both the novels and the manga use) regains her memories of her past life, meets Geordo and Keith, and sets up her escape plans all in the span of this one episode, and while it doesn't feel like we're glossing over too much, it's still a little overwhelming as
a novel reader. There's also the fact that the art and animation really aren't great – while the characters do look enough like their illustration counterparts (for better or worse), there's a lot of general simplifying that doesn't necessarily look amazing and the animation can be downright awkward; just look at that horse's movements in the opening scene.</p>
<p>Fortunately, the story is as much fun in this format as it is in any other. Catarina is both self-aware and completely oblivious as a character, the start of which we can see clearly in her interactions with both other versions of herself inside her mind and with other characters. Keith's adorable vulnerability comes across very clearly, and if Geordo's a bit harder to get a handle on at this point, that's very much deliberate. It could become an issue later on if, as it thus far seems, the other characters' narration will be left out of the story, but it's too early to tell if that will become a problem. Right now neither he nor Catarina are entirely sure what to make of each other (although Catarina has an idea based on her past life gameplay), and as far as plot progression goes, it works.</p>
<p>Keith and Catarina are stealing the show as of right now. While Catarina can be a bit much – she talks almost nonstop as she tries to figure out what's going on and how to avoid the dire fates the otome game <cite>Fortune Lover</cite> had in store for her – her way-too-simple plans for her future are entertaining, and her ideas about how to solve the Keith problem actually feel pretty solid. That they have the result of making the poor boy feel safe and loved for the first time in his life is really very sweet, even if we can see the unintentional consequences coming a mile away. (Okay, you caught me – I'm totally Team Keith even though the adopted sibling is never my first choice in these stories.) The stark difference between
pre-and-post head bump Catarina is also well done, as it hints at how the original story could very easily have played out and the fact that none of the characters have any idea what to do with this new, improved Catarina.</p>
<p>Even if you're sick of isekai, this one is worth at least checking out. It's silly, sweet, and definitely playing with a different set of tropes than most of the others in the genre we've seen, even other female-oriented ones such as <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=20241">Kakuriyo -Bed & Breakfast for Spirits-</a></cite>, <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=178">Fushigi Yugi</a></cite>, or <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=840">The Twelve Kingdoms</a></cite>. The original novels may still be the best way to experience the story, but I'm thinking that this adaptation may be just as much fun to follow.</p>

</b><p>What a charming show this was! Though I am often irritated by the blandness and lack of ambition that I see in so many modern isekai that are based on light novels, My Next Life as a Villainess is here to prove that time-tested formulas and tropes can still be entertaining and fresh when approached with a creative perspective. The show gladly revels in dating-sim archetypes and a fantasy world that would be familiar to anyone that has popped their head into the YA section of their local bookstore, but it gets away with it by acknowledging that its audience is smart enough to recognize the fluffy junk-food trappings of <cite>Fortune Lover</cite> for what they are, and that the fun of Catarina Claes' story is that her otaku
obsessions and encyclopedic knowledge of the video-game world she's been reborn into are liable to cause just as many problems as solutions. The biggest problem I have with the isekai anime I've railed against in the past is that the power fantasy aspect of the story is treated as the core of the genre's appeal, and that one might as well dispense with things like “conflict” and “character development” if it means keeping Hero McGoodpants from being a super awesome badass that attracts the undying lust of literally every woman he meets.</p>
<p>Conversely, <cite>My Next Life as a Villainess'</cite> greatest strength is its understanding that its heroine is likable because of her struggles. Getting reborn into her favorite video game with all of the knowledge of her past life is the perfect chance for her to get a glitzy and magical do-over, yes, but this is a game with a specific plot, and the role she has been born into is a doomed one. Now, I have no doubt that Catarina will probably end up winning over all of the guys that were meant to fall in love with the heroine of the game (and she might even get the girls, too, if the OP's not-so-subtle foreshadowing is to be believed). This premiere already has me much more invested in Catarina's inevitable transformation into Queen of the Harem because she actually has to work for it, and grow as a person. She practices gardening to improve her magic, has hilarious little forums within her own inner-monologue to try and determine the best course of action, and she even makes some mistakes, like when she almost kills her kicked-puppy looking half-brother Keith with her butt.</p>
<p>Will these mistakes eventually lead to a bunch of familiar romantic shenanigans that result in a bunch of men and women falling in love with her? Probably — this isn't trying to be the next <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=19982">DEVILMAN crybaby</a></cite>, or anything. My Next Life as a Villainess is not ashamed to present itself as exactly what it is: A bright and well-produced romantic comedy that features just enough of a twist on old ideas to be worth checking out. It has me sold, that's for sure.</p>

Recently, I had the opportunity to spend over eight hours with the game—progressing through the lengthy prologue and most of the game's first chapter. In the process, I got a sizable taste of both the game's gameplay and story. So here's the rundown.<p><i>Fate/Samurai Remnant</i> takes place in Japan in 1651 during the events of the Keian Uprising. At this point in time, Japan is fully closed to the outside world and the past 50 years have seen the end of the country's long list of civil wars—leading to many young samurai warriors being left without any place in society. </p>
<p></p>
<figure><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="600" height="287" alt="fsr02" border="1" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/feature/201376/fsr02.jpg" class="lazyload"><figcaption class="credit copyright"><div class="text">©TYPE-MOON/KOEI TECMO GAMES</div></figcaption></figure><p>One such ronin (i.e., master-less samurai) is the player character, Miyamoto Iori—the adopted son and apprentice of Japan's greatest swordsman, the late Miyamoto Musashi. Doing odd jobs for the police just trying to scrape by, Iori finds himself attacked by a squad of ninjas in the middle of the night led by a super-humanly strong warrior. Yet, just as his death seems a certainty, he is saved by a young swordswoman known only as “Saber.” Together, the pair find themselves part of a strange magical ritual where they must battle against heroes of myth and legend or die. And should they survive to the end, their greatest wish will become reality.</p>
<p>To anyone who has any knowledge of the <i>Fate</i> franchise, this no doubt sounds familiar. And while many of the standard <i>Fate</i> clichés are present—a clueless young man paired with a Saber-class servant (who won't reveal her name), mages paired with legendary heroes fight a secret war in the streets of Japan, and a story filled with unlikely alliances and double-crosses—there is enough here to make it more than just a retread of <i><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=15843">Fate/stay night</a></cite></i>.</p>
<p>The Holy Grail War, or, in this case, a prototype called the “The Waxing Moon Ritual,” involves seven master-servant pairs along with 8 “rogue servants” tied to specific locations around feudal Tokyo. This allows for a gathering of both new and old servants and the ability to befriend many besides Iori's own Saber. </p>

On one hand, her existence ties the game directly to the immensely popular mobile game <i>Fate/Grand Order</i> where she is a major reoccurring character. On the other, it makes the events of the game far more personal for Iori with his father suddenly returning to life—even if it's in a female form. There are many long-unanswered questions Iori has for Musashi—and that's even before the fact that they are enemies in the mix. It's great drama and Musashi handily steals every scene she is in. The rest of the main cast is likewise solid—which is great as all the game's main story and side quests I was able to try out were fully voiced. </p>
<p>As for the gameplay, <i>Fate/Samurai Remnant</i> utilizes the standard <i>Dynasty Warriors</i> control setup. You have a light attack and a heavy attack and switching between them in specific patterns makes Iori do different special moves. Doing this also builds up a special move that you can use whenever the associated gauge is filled. </p>
<p>Luckily, that's not all there is to combat. Iori has several different stances he can choose from—namely one for fighting single targets and another for fighting groups. In addition, he is also able to cast spells (though these are limited as they require consumable gems to cast). To round things out, he can also call on Saber to use special attacks (that recharge naturally in battle) and can even control Saber directly for a limited amount of time whenever that gauge is charged to full.</p>
<p></p>
<figure><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="600" height="285" alt="fsr03" border="1" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/feature/201376/fsr03.jpg" class="lazyload"><figcaption class="credit copyright"><div class="text">©TYPE-MOON/KOEI TECMO GAMES</div></figcaption></figure><p>As for the normal enemies themselves, you usually encounter two types of groups. The first contains one elite enemy (i.e., one who can block, counterattack, and use unblockable attacks) and a large group of weak enemies who are just there to be cut down in one or two hits. The second are groups full of elite enemies—often accompanied by a miniboss who can not be harmed by Iori's normal attacks (except for brief windows) until his block armor is destroyed. (Playing as the much more powerful Saber is the best way to defeat these foes).</p>
<p>While the single elite groups are easy enough to deal with, the all elite/mini-boss battles are cheap rather than difficult—and show the biggest problem with combat in the game. Elite enemies, especially monsters, do a poor job of telegraphing their attacks. In a large group of them, you can never be sure where an attack is coming from until it's too late. Worse yet, elite enemies are not staggered by Iori's normal attacks—meaning they can simply ignore damage and attack you mid-combo. I personally gave up on combos in these fights, opting to mash nothing but Iori's strong attack to fly past enemies in a whirlwind of blades. </p>
<p>Where things get really difficult, however, is the boss battles. This is a good thing. These battles are well-designed: You have to learn each master/servant's attack pattern and carefully dodge to survive—button mashing will lead you to a quick death. </p>
<p></p>
<figure><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="600" height="286" alt="fsr07" border="1" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/feature/201376/fsr07.jpg" class="lazyload"><figcaption class="credit copyright"><div class="text">©TYPE-MOON/KOEI TECMO GAMES</div></figcaption></figure><p>Yet, boss battles are tied to one of the other combat issues: resource management. At times, the game will force you into a chain of battles without warning. You are given no clue as to how many battles in a row you will have before you can resupply. Moreover, you have no clue if you should hold your special attacks/magic attacks for the next fight or if it's safe to use them. This is especially prominent in the game's turn-based strategy mini-game where—much like in <i>Fate/Grand Order</i>'s “Grail Front” battles—you move from node to node around a web on the map, trying to capture locations and defeat enemies. </p>
<p>These uninterrupted series of battles sometimes even have a surprise boss battle in the middle of them. I can easily imagine the need to load a save 30 or 40 minutes back if you find yourself under-equipped after being trapped in one of these—especially in the healing item department. </p>
<p>On the more positive side of things, as tough as things can get, there are many opportunities to make Iori and Saber stronger. Both Iori and Saber level up through a system similar to <i>Final Fantasy X</i>'s Spirit Board where you move through a maze-like pattern, with each node on your chosen path unlocking different skills, spells, and stat bonuses. The best part of this system is that you don't only gain experience through battle. </p>
<p></p>
<figure><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="600" height="286" alt="fsr09" border="1" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/feature/201376/fsr09.jpg" class="lazyload"><figcaption class="credit copyright"><div class="text">©TYPE-MOON/KOEI TECMO GAMES</div></figcaption></figure><p><i>Fate/Samurai Remnant</i> takes place across a series of rather large maps. While each has more than its share of fights for Iori and Saber, there are also items to gather and half a dozen mini-quests to complete. These range from finding specific items or talking to certain people to petting every dog in the area or shopping at every food stall. Each of these quests comes with a reward—usually either a rare item or jewels that can be used to gain extra levels. These mini-quests give you a reason to explore every nook and cranny each time you come to a new map—which is more than welcome.</p>
<p>All these side quests also help with the fact that money is rather tight in the opening hours of <i>Fate/Samurai Remnant</i>. Just purchasing a few healing items or magic gems can wipe you out monetarily. Exploring the various maps allows you to find not only the occasional healing item but other items and materials that can be sold in a pinch.</p>

<p>In the end, if nothing else, my eight hours with <i>Fate/Samurai Remnant</i> have left me wanting more. As a fan of the <i>Fate</i> franchise overall, the lore, story, and character interactions all have me hooked. The story is well-acted and well-paced so far—doing an excellent job of taking the usual <i>Fate</i> tropes and twisting them in new directions. The actual gameplay, however, is rather mediocre. Aside from the main boss fights, battles either feel overly simple or downright cheap. Sure, fights look flashy and there are all kinds of combo and special attacks but that doesn't do anything to address the core problems with combat.</p>
<p>All this is to say, I would easily recommend this to anyone who is even a passing fan of the greater <i>Fate</i> franchise. The story I got to experience in the first eight hours was more than worth it. However, I wouldn't recommend this to the unindoctrinated—unless they are just head over heels for Dynasty Warrior-style action games. Then, who knows? This game might just make a <i>Fate</i> fan out of them. </p>
<p><i>Fate/Samurai Remnant</i> will be released on September 29, 2023, for <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=620">Nintendo</a></cite> Switch, <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=19354">PlayStation</a></cite> 5, <cite class="e company">PlayStation</cite> 4, and Windows PC via <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=15875">Steam</a></cite>.</p>

<blockquote>
Rimuru has saved the children he was teaching in the Kingdom of Engrassia, and his time as a teacher is nearly over. Then Yuuki, Grandmaster of the Free Union, asks him to get to the bottom of the race for the throne in the Kingdom of Coleus, which is located between Engrassia and the Holy Empire of Lubelius. So Rimuru infiltrates Coleus under the name "Satoru," and he finds a nation at the mercy of not only a battle for succession, but a web of schemes woven by demons and vampires!</blockquote>

The statue features the giant <cite class="e anime">Totoro</cite> creature, wielding an umbrella, from <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=51">Hayao Miyazaki</a></cite>'s <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=534">My Neighbor Totoro</a></cite> anime film. 43-year-old Yoshiyuki Yamamichi said he crafted the statue out of scrap wood, boat cushioning, and polystyrene "to improve the image of the area." After receiving permission from the bus company, he placed the statue at the bus stop at the end of last month. With the forest backdrop and the statue's faithfulness to a well-known scene in the movie, Yamamichi joked that a <cite>neko-bus</cite> "might really stop by."</p>

<p><cite><cite class="e anime">Hello!!

The manga begins with Shinobu, a 15-year-old, seemingly "pure Japanese" girl who did a homestay in Great Britain. Even after coming back to Japan, she still misses her time overseas. One day, an air mail letter arrives from Alice, the girl from Shinobu's host family in Great Britain. The letter reads, "Shinobu, I'm coming to Japan!" The "Japanese/British girls' light comedy" follows the lives of Shinobu, Alice, and other girls from both Japan and Great Britain. </p>
<p>The first television anime, <cite class="e anime">Kin-iro Mosaic</cite> (<cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=14991">Kinmoza! Kiniro + Mosaic</a></cite>), aired in 2013, and the second television anime aired in April 2015.</p>
<p>The main staff from the first season returned for the second. <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=109015">Motoki Tanaka</a></cite> (<cite class="e person">Tensho</cite>) returned to direct the series at <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=9292">Studio Gokumi</a></cite> with assistant director <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=15206">Munenori Nawa</a></cite>. <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=23947">Kazuyuki Ueda</a></cite> designed the characters, and <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=77897">Yuniko Ayana</a></cite> was in charge of the series scripts.</p>

Club members En and Atsushi are soaking in the bathtub at a public bath when suddenly a mysterious pink creature, Wombat, appears out of thin air and asks, "I want to save this star... please would you lend me your power?" Then, Yumoto, whose family runs the bath house, appears and chases Wombat to give him a hug.</p>
<p>In school the next day, the remaining two members, Io and Ryū, also meet Wombat. Wombat gives all five of them bracelets and tells them to protect Earth. A dazzling light comes from the bracelets and envelops their bodies... </p>
<p>The series premiered in January 2015.

<blockquote>Natsuo, lycéen, est secrètement amoureux de Hina, sa pétillante prof d'anglais, qui a beaucoup de succès. Lors d'une soirée « group-dating », il rencontre Rui, une fille guère sociable, avec laquelle il couche tout de go pour palier l'ennui ! Peu de temps après, son père lui annonce qu'il va se remarier avec une femme ayant deux filles... qui ne sont autre que Rui et Hina ! La cohabitation sous un même toit s'annonce compliquée et mouvementée. Entre non-dits et sentiments malmenés, les héros devront apprendre à gérer une situation peu commune...</blockquote>

Alphonse will be portrayed in full CG in the film. Mizuishi won the role after auditioning with over 100 other candidates.</p>
<p>Mizuishi was already cast for the motion capture performance needed to create the CG effects throughout filming. Director <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=23195">Fumihiko Sori</a></cite> commented that Mizuishi and <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=142494">Ryōsuke Yamada</a></cite>, the actor for Al's brother Ed, worked well together during filming. Sori added that <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=808">Rie Kugimiya</a></cite>, Al's voice actress in the anime adaptations, has already seen the live-action film, and she praised Mizuishi's performance and thus confirmed Sori's choice. Original manga creator <cite class="e person">Hiromu Arakawa</cite> also said that the performances of Ed and Al are great. </p>
<p>The film will <a href="/news/2017-09-17/live-action-fullmetal-alchemist-film-to-open-tokyo-intl-film-festival/.121462">open</a> the Tokyo International Film Festival on October 25 for its world premiere.

<b><center>Ultimate Portable Entertainment System Makes Its Debut This Year, Further Expanding the <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=19354">PlayStation</a></cite>® Business in the Portable Gaming Market</center></b><p><b>Tokyo, January 27, 2011–</b> <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=1026">Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc.</a></cite> (SCE) today announced its next generation portable entertainment system (codename: NGP), which delivers the ultimate portable entertainment experience. NGP will make its debut at the end of the year 2011.</p>
<p>NGP is designed to offer unparalleled interactive entertainment that is only possible on <cite class="e company">PlayStation</cite>®. This new system offers a revolutionary combination of rich gaming and social connectivity within a real world context, made possible by leveraging SCE's experience from both PSP® (<cite class="e company">PlayStation</cite>®Portable) and <cite class="e company">PlayStation</cite>®3 (PS3®) entertainment systems.</p>
<p>Deep and immersive gaming is at the core of <cite class="e company">PlayStation</cite>'s DNA, and NGP is the latest embodiment of this vision. By having both Wi-Fi and 3G network connectivity, together with various applications, NGP will enable infinite possibilities for users to “encounter,” “connect,” “discover,” “share” and “play” with friends wherever they are. Within the device are a range of features that provide a genuinely cutting-edge, next generation ultimate portable entertainment experience.</p>
<ul>
<b>・Stunning OLED and Revolutionary User Interface</b>
</ul>
<p>NGP incorporates a beautiful multi-touch 5-inch organic light emitting display (OLED) as the front display. A high-performance CPU / GPU combined with OLED enables rich, visually striking graphics never seen before on a portable entertainment system, for both games and other digital entertainment content. The new system also incorporates a unique multi-touch pad on the rear, and together with the front touch display, NGP offers new game play allowing users to interact directly with games in three dimension-like motion, through “touch, grab, trace, push and pull” moves of the fingers.</p>
<ul>
<b>・Super Oval Design and Dual Analog Sticks</b>
</ul>
<p>While succeeding the basic design philosophy of PSP, NGP adopts the Super Oval Design form factor, created to fit comfortably in users' hands. For the first time, a portable entertainment system will feature two analog sticks, which enable a wider range of game genres to be brought into the portable experience.</p>
<ul>
<b>・LiveArea™</b>
</ul>
<p>Every game title for NGP will be provided with a space called “LiveArea™” where users can share the fun and excitement with other players. Users will have access to the latest information of games provided from SCE and 3rd party developers and publishers through <cite class="e company">PlayStation</cite>®Network. Additionally, NGP users will be able to view an “Activity” log that is constantly updated with accomplishments from users who are playing the same game, which in turn can trigger active real-time communication among users.</p>
<ul>
<b>・Near</b>
</ul>
<p>SCE will also provide location-based services on NGP as part of the basic features utilizing <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=7201">PlayStation Network</a></cite>. The new application called “Near,” developed specifically for this service and the network, will be pre-installed in the system to let users find out what their friends in the vicinity are playing now or what they were playing recently. Users can meet their friends and new players virtually, regardless of what games they are playing, simply by sharing their game information across different dimensions of time and distance.</p>
<ul>
<b>・New Game Medium</b>
</ul>
<p>NGP adopts a new game medium, a small flash memory based card, dedicated for NGP software titles. Taking advantage of the flash memory feature, this innovative card can store the full software titles plus add-on game content or the game save data directly on to the card. By adopting flash memory based card, SCE will be able to provide game cards with higher capacity in the future, allowing developers to store more game data to deliver rich and immersive games.</p>
<p>NGP will also come equipped with two cameras on its front and rear, as well as three motion sensors, gyroscope, accelerometer and electronic compass, all of which are designed to enable users to enjoy the world of entertainment that is linked with real life experiences.</p>
<p><cite class="e company">PlayStation</cite>®Suite (PS Suite), announced today, will also closely coordinate with NGP. The newly developed and released game content for Android™ based portable devices can also be enjoyed on NGP. As a result, users will have access to not only the most leading-edge content, but also some of the more casual experiences that typify the mobile market place.</p>
<p>SCE will vigorously promote NGP towards the launch as the next generation portable entertainment platform and deploy various measures to further expand the portable gaming market.</p>

Is this really the final episode of <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=16370">God Eater</a></cite>'s first season? It is, and that just isn't fair. From the beginning, this show has been an audiovisual treat, and its storytelling improved significantly post-hiatus. However, “Lotus” was not a finale, or at least not a satisfying one. Though it was a more momentous than usual episode, it left too many loose ends unresolved, and if we don't get a second season it's going to hurt to never see how this wraps up. </p>
<p>So is Pita short for “pain in the ass?” This Aragami is one tough mofo. Last week, we worried that Lindow had given up his life to battle it, and this episode doesn't tell us any different. Everyone is certainly acting like Lindow is gone for good, as if they've never heard of the old movie rule: don't confirm somebody's death until you actually find a body. But as the sun sets on Lindow's life (quite literally, as the ever-evocative setting dims to dusk), Lenka's star is rising. When the team is breaking up over tragedy, Lenka pulls them back together. Using Lindow's wishes to unite them, they work along with the people of Asyl like a well-oiled machine.</p>
<p>Since it's the final episode of the season, the God Arcs are more impressive than they've ever been, with multiple iterations. Last week, I hypothesized that Lenka's God Arc was a bit overpowered and broken, but not when he's up against Pita. It takes all five of them working together to even come close to Pita's strength. Pita is the most engaging villain in the show right now. He's an Aragami, but he's intelligent. He's even able to fake the God Eaters and get them off their guard. From the neon electricity emanating from Pita to the aerial moves and evolving strength of the God Eaters to the rising tempo of the soundtrack, this is everything I wanted in <cite class="e anime">God Eater</cite>'s final battle. The final blow is a stroke of genius — a brand new Lenka finds a way to use Pita's immeasurable strength against him. </p>
<p>The battle is contrasted with an exchange between Paylor and Johannes, which seems to explain what's going on with Pita. “If they continue to evolve,” Paylor says, “Aragami may acquire intellect,” allowing them to communicate and coexist with humans. Well, he's not wrong about the first part, but it doesn't seem like Pita was all that keen on coexisting. This episode also seems to imply that it's Johannes everyone should be watching out for — that twisted smile when everything is going wrong suggests he is the saboteur, which would be brilliant. Since he's the most powerful guy in Fenrir, there won't be a quick or clumsy solution.</p>
<p>But we're not going to find out for sure. The tail end of this episode is extremely vague, setting up for a resolution that may never arrive. Is Lindow dead? Or is somebody giving him canned food in the mountains? Who is the mysterious person Soma is trying to contact? What is the Ark Project, and who's going on that spaceship? What happens after Aegis is built? I suspect that I could learn at least a few of these answers by playing the <cite class="e anime">God Eater</cite> video games. But if the point of this anime was to attract a wider audience than just the game audience, then it's not going to retain it for very long.</p>

Located west of downtown Tokyo, Hino is a city whose major claim to fame is being the birthplace of Hijikata Toshizō, Inoue Genzaburō, and other members of the Shinsengumi police force of the Tokugawa shogunate. </p>
<p>Throngs of Shinsengumi aficionados comes to Hino every year to celebrate the legacy that has been retold in novels, manga, anime, and game — including <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=1108">Idea Factory</a></cite>'s original <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=11286">Hakuōki Shinsengumi Kitan</a></cite> game. One highlight of the festival is a parade of marchers dressed in full Shinsengumi gear. </p>
<p>The festival is usually held during the second weekend of May, to coincide with Hijikata's May 11 birthdate. However, this year's festivities were delayed to November due to the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake (Higashi Nihon Daishinsai) <a href="/news/2011-03-11/anime/manga/game-events-cancelled-after-march-11-quake">disaster</a>.</p>
<p>The <cite class="e anime">Hakuōki Shinsengumi Kitan</cite> game recounts the Shinsengumi story as a romance adventure game for female players. The first anime series <a href="/news/2009-07-26/haduoki-adventure-game-reportedly-gets-anime-green-lit">based</a> on the game aired last spring, and the second television series, <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=11645">Hakuōki Hekketsu-roku</a></cite></cite>, <a href="/news/2010-06-19/hakuoki-2nd-season-green-lit-for-fall">premiered</a> last October. Aksys Games announced at <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=21001">Anime Expo</a></cite> this year that it will <a href="/news/2011-07-02/aksys-adds-fate/extra-rpg-hakuohki-game" target="_blank">release</a> the first <cite><cite class="e anime">Hakuōki</cite></cite> game in North America.</p>

<i>Lead Your Allies to Victory on <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=19354">PlayStation</a></cite> 4 and Windows PC via <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=15875">Steam</a></cite></i><br>
<br>
<b>Burlingame, Calif. – February 28, 2020 – </b>Today, <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=23697">KOEI TECMO</a></cite> America and famed developer Kou Shibusawa are proud to launch the latest entry in their renowned strategy <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=70">franchise</a></cite>, Romance of The Three Kingdoms XIV (RTK14) on the <cite class="e company">PlayStation</cite>®4 Computer Entertainment System and digitally on Windows PC via <cite class="e company">Steam</cite>®.<br>
<br>
In RTK14, players will experience the pivotal Three Kingdoms period of Ancient China, allowing them to make their mark on history as they set out to conquer China and unify the Three Kingdoms. The tale of the Three Kingdoms era is depicted through seven challenging scenarios, including the chaotic war that signaled the opening of the times (the Yellow Turban Rebellion), the fight for dominance between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao (the Battle of Guandu), and the beginning of Zhuge Liang's northern campaign (Chu Shi Biao). These events will give gamers the opportunity to enjoy the rich stories from this time period through many event scenes, triggered through fulfilling certain conditions in battle. The latest entry in the series also adopts the popular ruler-based system from fan-favorite entries, RTK9 and RTK11, in order to help return classic gameplay to the series -- meaning that all actions take place on a single map as players attempt to spread their strategies at will across the vast land of China.<br>
<br>
<span class="-wrap">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RK8WWtckbso</span><br>
<br>
Watch the Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIV b-roll above<br>
<br>
Throughout the experience, players will have a wide arsenal of strategies to deploy at will, aiding them as they scramble for land and build up their domain. A multitude of different approaches are available in RTK14, covering Domestic, Diplomacy, Territory Development, and a large assortment of different ways to battle, with each playthrough of the game feeling like an all-new experience thanks to an enhanced AI system keeping them on their toes, not to mention, the selection of over 1,000 officers, each with their own traits and characteristics.<br>
<br>
Those ready to jump into the action can purchase Romance of The Three Kingdoms XIV starting today on <cite class="e company">PlayStation</cite> 4 and PC via <cite class="e company">Steam</cite>. Purchasing any version of the game within the first 2 weeks of launch will offer a free download for the additional scenarios ‘Battle of Yiling’ and ‘The Start of Change’. Those purchasing on PC via <cite class="e company">Steam</cite> within the first week of launch will receive a 10% discount on their purchase!<br>
<br>
A free demo is also available to enjoy until March 12, 2020 on <cite class="e company">Steam</cite>, allowing gamers to play as either the Cao Cao, Liu Bei, or Sun Jian faction through 36 turns (one year in game time). Fans who play through the trial won't be able to transfer save data into the full version, and since the demo was based on an earlier, still in-development version of the game, the trial might have known bugs or errors that will be different from the final product.<br>

<blockquote> Wonder 3 takes place in an alternate Earth in the year 196X and the world is overrun with war and violence. The Galactic Federation consisting of all the advanced species of the universe convene to decide the future of Earth, but due to a lack of information they decide to send an elite team, Wonder 3, to observe human species for one year and determine whether or not humans are worthy of saving. Upon landing on Earth, the three members of Wonder 3 – <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=3483">Bokkō</a></cite>, Nokko, and Pukko – disguise themselves as animals and come across the two Hoshi brothers who defend humanity in their own way. With a time limit of one year, what can Wonder 3 learn from the Hoshi brothers about life on Earth?</blockquote>
<p>The series inspired the first original television anime created by Tezuka's <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=12078">Mushi Production</a></cite> studio and the first Japanese made-for-television animated program to use a specific animation illustrator for each specific character. The black-and-white series ran for 52 episodes from 1965-1966 and was later broadcast in the United States in 1967.</p>

<div class="text-zone">It seems everyone is waiting to see what this <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=98">dub</a></cite> is like, so I'll just skip a few pending review titles so I can tell you now: It's excellent. This is possibly the best <cite class="e lexicon">dub</cite> that has ever been produced that hasn't been directed by <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=1416">Jack Fletcher</a></cite> (<cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=9">Urban Vision</a></cite> & Disney). There's only one problem: THEY CHANGED THE NAMES!!<br>
<br>
Ryo is now known as "Joe Saeba", the famous detective with a libido only slightly bigger than the things his parter Kaori hits him with when he turns into a horny idiot. Coffee shop vigilante <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=202951">Umibōzu</a></cite> is now known by his nickname "Falcon", and resident police woman friend Saeko is now Sandra. Rumor has it that this was done in an attempt to sell the long-as-hell TV series to some TV channel (cable, I'm guessing), although since some characters still have Japanese names and it takes place in Tokyo, this hardly makes sense. (I'm told the subtitled version is left intact.)<br>
<br>
That aside, this "motion picture" is actually one of the annual made-for-TV feature-length <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=35">OAV</a></cite>'s called "Goodbye my Sweetheart". (An unmarketable title if there ever was one.) An actress named Emi (that's "Amy" in this version... grr...) comes to <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=384">City Hunter</a></cite> in an effort to find her long lost brother who has mysteriously left his calling card -- black roses -- for her backstage one day. Ryo is reluctant to take her case (since she dresses like a man) but Kaori (who's a big fan) bullies him into it.<br>
<br>
Her brother, in reality, is now a terrorist by the name of "The Professor". He feels betrayed by his country, and so he'll now blow up Tokyo's business district Shinjuku by means of a complicated network of bombs placed in strategic locations. The first bomb will be the trigger for all the others, and is under the seat Amy is sitting on as guest of honor on Shinjuku's new monorail. What follows is pure mayhem: a great mixture of "Speed" and a <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=41411">John Woo</a></cite> film.<br>
<br>
<cite class="e anime">City Hunter</cite> is based on a manga by <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=3546">Tsukasa Hōjō</a></cite>, and his complex, realistic art style is carried through here in all its glory. The slapstic humor never gets old, and while there's plenty of character development here, there's also enough action to keep even the most impatient fan riveted.<br>
<br>
The <cite class="e lexicon">dub</cite>, which is directed by <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=15705">Gary Dehan</a></cite>, is easily <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=2">ADV</a></cite>'s best effort to date. All of the characters sound perfect, and no detail is untouched. Even the script is well-done. (For those fans wondering what Ryo's favorite vague sexual euphamism "Mokkori" has been changed to, it's "Nookie".) The aging logo has been replaced with a near-identical rendered version, which is simply beautiful. Every American release should have this kind of production value!<br>
<br>
<cite class="e anime">City Hunter</cite> would be a perfect release if it weren't for one major issue: THEY CHANGED THE NAMES!!!</div>

Thanks to everyone who sent in a question last week! I'm now buried in 'em, but if you think of more, by all means, keep 'em coming!<hr>
<p>
<em>Michael asks:</em>
</p>
<p style="font-family: Courier, Courier New, monospace;padding-right: 70px;padding-left: 70px;line-height: 16px;">I was recently listening to the first ever Supernerds ANNCast, which discussed the state of anime piracy, and ideas of ways that we could decrease it. This was four or five years ago and a lot has changed in the industry since then. My question is, have the changes made a large impact on anime piracy? Are torrents and fansubs still relevant and causing havoc, or have we gotten to a point now where they don't really matter anymore?</p>
<p>The changes in the <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=63">fansub</a></cite> scene over the last five years have been, frankly, transformative. It used to be that any fan who wanted to keep up with the current shows on Japanese TV were utterly dependent on fansubs, but thanks to legitimate streaming, most fans don't even bother with torrents anymore. Pirate traffic is way, way down. It used to be that a popular fansubbed series would see download numbers well into the hundreds of thousands per episode, but now most fansubs are lucky to limp across the 10,000 mark. Most of those downloaders, I'm guessing, are living in countries where legal streams aren't yet available.</p>
<p>More than that, the <cite class="e lexicon">fansub</cite> scene as a whole has largely fallen apart. Many of the best <cite class="e lexicon">fansub</cite> editors and translators have "gone pro" and now assist with the <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=121">simulcast</a></cite> subtitles that you see on sites like <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=7606">Crunchyroll</a></cite>. There are shockingly few fansubs that can actually be called "fansubs" anymore -- where fans have created an original translation for a show. Most of the scene now deals in subtitles that have been ripped from the legitimate streams, and then matched up to higher bitrate raw files. These rips are lifeblood to fans that live in areas that can't stream legally (and convenient for the handful of Western fans that still insist on stockpiling files).</p>
<p>Unfortunately, those "rip-and-resync" fansubs are also the lifeblood of myriad pirate streaming sites, who pop up everywhere and suck valuable, paying viewers from the legitimate sites. Trying to take down these pirate sites is like playing whack-a-mole: one site goes down, and another, eerily similar site pops up a few minutes later. It's nearly impossible to tell how much damage these sites inflict, but anecdotal evidence suggest it's significant: pirate streaming sites still populate <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=14117">Google</a></cite> search results, and many newbie fans make frequent use of them. Notably, pirate streaming sites are also a major problem for the Hollywood studios, and even with as deep of pockets as they have, it seems like nobody has yet figured out how to bring them under control. </p>
<p>But the good news is that a lot of people use -- and in some cases, pay for -- the legal streaming sites, to the point where they contribute as significant a chunk of revenue to the US market as DVD sales do. And that's good news for everybody.</p>

<em>Kyle asks:</em>
<p style="font-family: Courier, Courier New, monospace;padding-right: 70px;padding-left: 70px;line-height: 16px;">How come some English dubbed anime only get released straight to DVD here in the US and never air on American TV? I know that a handful of them do air on Anime-only channels, such as the <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=5080">FUNimation Channel</a></cite> and <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=11010">Neon Alley</a></cite>, and also on <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=704">Cartoon Network</a></cite>'s <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=2514">Adult Swim</a></cite> and <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=2777">Toonami</a></cite> programming blocks. However, there are some, such as <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=3711">Sgt. Frog</a></cite>, <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=797">Di Gi Charat</a></cite>, <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=11421">Squid Girl</a></cite>, and <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=3761">Doki Doki School Hours</a></cite>, that have never aired on American TV at all. Why is that? I find it weird how some English anime dubbing companies drop a series due to "low DVD sales" when they could have just aired it on American TV first, then that way their <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=98">dub</a></cite> could reach a wider audience and have better DVD sales.</p>
<p>Well, that's the problem -- no, they couldn't air it on TV first. In order to air something on TV, you have to find a network that will take it. And that's always been the issue: most of them won't.</p>
<p>Back in the days of the 2000s anime bubble, the American anime publishers spent a lot of money chasing television exposure. The biggest anime of the day -- your Cowboy Bebops, your Escaflownes, your Cardcaptor Sakuras -- all had some sort of TV exposure that brought in the non-<cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=22">otaku</a></cite>, so of course the logic was that to make an anime a hit, you needed to get it broadcast. <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=1782">Geneon</a></cite> and <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=2">ADV</a></cite> hired TV salespeople to try and get the networks to pay attention, and while Bandai forged a strong relationship with <cite class="e company">Cartoon Network</cite>. But of all the major cable channels, <cite class="e company">Cartoon Network</cite> was ultimately the only one that would regularly take a chance on anime programming. A few other channels experimented with a couple of series, but found that the audience never came.</p>
<p>American TV network executives never really "got" anime. The ones I spoke to understood that the fan base was out there, but they didn't understand the appeal. American TV networks are big enough that they're used to calling the shots with new programming. Anime was unappealing for two business reasons: first, that they couldn't control the content of a show that's already been made. They couldn't focus-test new characters, they couldn't avoid topics that were controversial in the US -- they might be able to make small alterations with editing, but anime series are already made, and largely have to be taken as-is. Secondly, if they dedicated a decent time-slot and an expensive marketing campaign to an anime, and that anime became huge, the network wouldn't get a piece of the action. Sure, they might seem some nice ratings, but without any ownership stake in the show, they wouldn't get any extra revenue from home video sales or sale into international markets. And so, the endeavor pretty much never went anywhere.</p>
<p>As it turned out, the market for anime on television really never was all that prominent. <cite class="e company">Toonami</cite> brought in a ton of new fans, and while it was a hit for a while, it never set the world on fire. <cite class="e company">Adult Swim</cite> pulls in respectable ratings, and is still a good place to get broader exposure for a show, but most anime fans with internet access have already seen the shows that air there. And now, with online streaming (and the new simul-dubs initiative) it seems like there's less need for TV broadcast than ever. <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=6901">Hulu</a></cite> and <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=10441">Netflix</a></cite> are bringing in new fans. The already-addicted know where to go. TV is less and less of a thing, particularly for the teenage and young adult audiences that anime counts as its base. They live on laptops and tablets and smartphones, not in front of a television. The internet is a much better place for anime, in that way.</p>

<em>Chase asks:</em>
<p style="font-family: Courier, Courier New, monospace;padding-right: 70px;padding-left: 70px;line-height: 16px;">Rewatching ADOLESCENCE OF <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=207">UTENA</a></cite>, I was reminded that you got to work with Ikuhara on the <cite class="e lexicon">dub</cite> (along with the interview with him that's on the site). Knowing what we know about you, what was the experience like, and how on earth did that happen (if you are aware of the know hows)? Barring Ghibli and projects like <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1710">The Animatrix</a></cite> (and others), are there any other dubs where the creative staff themselves were involved in some matter?</p>
<p>I wasn't overly involved with the dubbing process when I worked at <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=6">Central Park Media</a></cite>, so my interaction with Ikuhara was limited. I did have a meeting with him at one point, where I interviewed him with a bunch of fan-solicited questions, to which he gave the same quirky non-answers that he always gave fans at anime conventions, which he was attending frequently at the time. Digital Manga had a travel blog for him at the time, and afterwards he remarked on there that he thought I was attractive. I took a lot of ribbing for that at the office...</p>
<p>Ikuhara had basically seen the dubbed VHS release of the first season of the TV series, and was appalled not only by the dubbing, but by <cite class="e company">CPM</cite>'s weak attempt at designing a package. Since he was already in the States, he came to New York to sit in on recording sessions, but from what I was told, there really wasn't a whole lot for him to do. The <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=189592">ADR Director</a></cite> of the first 13 episodes of the TV series, <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=5443">Jim Malone</a></cite>, had moved on from anime dubbing, and replacing him was the truly talented <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=4295">Anthony Salerno</a></cite>, who had earlier turned <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=657">The Slayers</a></cite> <cite class="e lexicon">dub</cite> from somewhat passable to a fan favorite. Keeping the same cast from the TV series, Salerno maintained the balance of seriousness and light comedy that made the <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=91">Utena<i> movie</i></a></cite> what it was. </p>
<p>Ikuhara mostly just watched politely. Occasionally they asked him a question about a scene or a character, but as Ikuhara's English was fairly non-existant, he really couldn't contribute much to the <cite class="e lexicon">dub</cite>. He had already insisted we use his choice of translator (who happened to be anime convention veteran <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=2465">Takayuki Karahashi</a></cite> -- great choice, frankly), so between a solid translation and a capable <cite class="e person">ADR Director</cite>, things pretty much fell into place.</p>
<p>Ikuhara later involved himself with the release of later TV episodes, which had been delayed for years due to a contentous relationship with the licensing middleman <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=265">Enoki Films</a></cite>. He INSISTED that we change the packaging to look more like the Japanese releases -- which were, frankly, gorgeous -- and got us actual good character artwork to use. I'm sure he made life difficult for other staff at <cite class="e company">CPM</cite>, but I was delighted.</p>
<p>While it's pretty rare for anime creators to directly supervise a <cite class="e lexicon">dub</cite> (the only other example I can think of at the moment is <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=100">Yoshiyuki Tomino</a></cite> supervising the <cite class="e lexicon">dub</cite> of the original <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=46">Mobile Suit Gundam</a></cite> movies -- I'm told that he was fairly high maintenance and insisted on outright wrong and gibberish translations for certain terms), many original creators now have direct input on things like packaging and casting choices. Some of them are very difficult to please, and have been known to cause releases to get delayed.</p>

<em>Adam asks:</em>
<p style="font-family: Courier, Courier New, monospace;padding-right: 70px;padding-left: 70px;line-height: 16px;">I have always been curious about the stereotypical portrayal of gay, specifically male, characters in anime, such as <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=10942">Fairy Tail</a></cite>, <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=6698">Gurren Lagann</a></cite>, or <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=836">One Piece</a></cite>. While there are exceptions, they are often depicted as extremely effeminate, dressing absurdly, and/or acting somewhat flirtatiously towards other male characters. In contrast, particularly masculine characters (again, I think of <cite class="e anime">Fairy Tail</cite> and <cite class="e anime">Gurren Lagann</cite>) exhibit an exaggerated degree of literal homophobia in the presence of these individuals. I've always found this caricature of gay men annoying, but the overreactions of straight men comical because I find them so overplayed, but maybe that's just me coming from a different culture. Where does this stock character for gay/trans men come from, does Japan have a lot of homophobia, and how do my perception of these portrayals (stereotype = peeving; homophobia = humorous) differ from those of the intended viewership in Japan?</p>
<p>It might come as a surprise to many <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=23">yaoi</a></cite> fans, but Japan is not exactly a <strike><cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=100">mecha</a></cite></strike> Mecca of LGBT tolerance. Don't get me wrong, it's way, way, way better than Russia, and quite a bit better than China and Singapore. But like a lot of Asian countries, Japanese society places a great deal of pressure on people to fulfill their role in society, and that means getting married and having kids, no matter how miserable that makes you. Same-sex relationships are often seen as youthful dalliances; something to be outgrown rather than indulged. Not being able to fulfill that duty can mean shame for a family, and crushing guilt for the individual. Just like in America, that can vary depending on how traditional or conservative the family is.</p>
<p>Gay is different, and different is not always welcomed. Kids who have spent time overseas are often bullied once they come back, for example. The act of "coming out" is often seen as shameful, as it implies putting your own needs above the needs of your family and community. And as often used to be the case in previous generations of American society, the different often make for easy jokes in pop culture like anime. It's the gay equivalent to a racist sight-gag in an old Tex Avery cartoon. We can choose to take offense to it, or we can write it off as relatively harmless fun. A case can be made for either route.</p>
<p>But you know what? We might have slapstick gay characters and ludicrously effeminate villains in many anime, but there are a shocking number of sensitively-portrayed, fantastic gay characters too. We have Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus from <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=363">Sailor Moon</a></cite>, Isabella from <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=5081">Paradise Kiss</a></cite>, Kei from <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=8063">Moyashimon</a></cite>, and bucketloads of sympathetic (if not always realistic) gay men and women from <cite class="e lexicon">yaoi</cite> and yuri-themed stuff. In manga, things don't get any more realistic than <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=37027">Fumi Yoshinaga</a></cite>'s work: her series <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=9228">What Did You Eat Yesterday?</a></cite> should be mandatory reading.</p>
<p>While Japan is not exactly progressive in LGBT matters by American standards, there has been significant progress there in recent years. Just last week Shibuya in Tokyo became the first place in the country to recognize same-sex marriage. But it's still a very difficult place to be LGBT, and they have a very long way to go.</p>

<center><b>New Album Planned for 2022!</b></center>
<br>
<br>
Today, <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=38425">Yui Makino</a></cite> released her new digital single “Touch of Hope.”<br>
<br>
“Touch of Hope” is the theme song of <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=23604">The Girl from the Other Side</a></cite>, a feature-length animation based on a Japanese manga series by <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=152131">Nagabe</a></cite> that was completed in March last year. The silky, clear sound of her voice during this pleasant, slow ballad will touch your heart. As the song progresses, layer after layer of sound is added, giving this masterpiece a grand scale.<br>
<br>
<cite class="e anime">The Girl from the Other Side</cite> was released in 2019 as a short art animation and was highly acclaimed at national and international film festivals. The feature-length animation was produced by <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=10798">Wit Studio</a></cite> and directed by <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=198294">Yūtarō Kubo</a></cite> and <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=198295">Satomi Maiya</a></cite>. To fund this production, <cite class="e company">Wit Studio</cite> held a crowdfunding campaign from March to May last year, and the target amount of 3 million yen was achieved in just four hours. In the end, the campaign raised over 20 million yen from 1,418 users.<br>
<br>
<cite class="e person">Yui Makino</cite> has also announced that she will be releasing a new album in 2022 under the FlyingDog label. More information will be released at a later date, so please keep your eye on Yui!<br>

The first episode of <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=24971">Ya Boy Kongming!</a></cite> does an effective (and delightful) job of laying out its
establishing premise: Three Kingdoms-era strategist Kongming finds himself reincarnated into
modern-day Japan, where he winds up tending both a bar and the career of aspiring songstress
Eiko. It's fun, it's funny, and perhaps surprisingly cute in its wholesome handling of the whole
affair and making clear just how <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=77">moe</a></cite> ol' Zhuge Liang can be. Past the central time-travel
gimmick, that first episode also clearly demonstrates just how instrumental the
musical element of the story will be moving forward, featuring several performances from Eiko
(including a lovingly-rendered and particularly moving one in her apartment halfway through the
episode) and even sprinkling in some base knowledge of musical technicalities that it can
work off going forward. It's just getting started, but it's still a good time.</p>
<p>But it's the second (and by extension, third) episode of this anime that better showcases the actual structure of the show and its further
charms. Kongming formally takes on the role of Eiko's manager and we'll be following her
path to stardom step by step, with each part punctuated by the strategist demonstrating his
latest Zany Scheme™ in getting her there, potentially rooted in some famous or mythologized
bit from Kongming's history. And <i>that</i>, I must tell you, is where I really fell in love with this
show. Just seeing Kongming help Eiko out would be pleasant enough, since they're both so
appealing and easy to root for, but couching those efforts in demonstrations of strategy and
mind games gives things a <i>narrative</i> thrust as well. It's the sort of thing that makes any
story based on competition (combat-based or otherwise) interesting, especially when structured on
an episodic basis like this. It keeps us engaged as our own mental gears turn, theorizing about
what it is that Kongming has actually done this time as we roll up to the revelation.</p>
<p>It definitely helps that a lot of the elements driving that are seeded by the writing
even for those not particularly well-versed in Three Kingdoms history, which as the bar's owner
laments, is a distressing amount of people these days. In fact, Kongming's discussions with the
owner as they nerd out over those historical elements are there to serve that narrative purpose:
It's in these conversations that Kongming's famous strategy of illusion and confusion is
referenced before he deploys a variant of it in the second episode, and how he brings up his
adherence to "The Thirty-Six Stratagems" in the third episode, as well as leading into more
personal elements of his past. Like so much of this show, it's not just an entertaining
characteristic element; it's also just dang effective storytelling overall.</p>
<p>This reliance on such a structured setup does bring up the potential issue that Ya Boy
Kongming might wind up too bound by its own formula as it goes on. The third episode even
has the characters call attention to the fact that the obstacle Eiko has to deal with – competing for
an audience at the same time as a more well-known musical act – is effectively the same as that
from the second episode. One wouldn't want a show like this, which thrives on keeping the
audience engaged with increasing stakes and galaxy-brain managerial ploys from Kongming, to
fall into such structural staleness. While that's a concern more for the future of the show, the
way the setup works also rubs up against a potential thematic concern: The show's
framing of competition and adversity. This angle does also make sense; Kongming is a military
strategist, so his style specifically thrives off of outmaneuvering somebody else to the advantage of himself and his liege. But some aside comments by the rival band Jet Jacket in
the third episode make the point of how other musicians in this structure are working for their big
break as much as Eiko is, thus her 'victory' might need to come at the cost of someone else's.
As cutthroat as the music industry is known to be, there's the possibility that said structure might feel too
harshly adversarial for what is, at its heart, an earnest comedy.</p>
<p>Thankfully, the third episode does end up mitigating that tone in a heartening way by its end,
with Kongming extending an olive branch to Jet Jacket in assisting with some of their troubles
he previously leveraged to Eiko's success. It brings back the all-around good vibes of the series premiere, and
also offers another follow-up on some of that conversational information we got on Kongming:
The desire to appreciate the humanity of others and enjoy time spent with them as
compensation for missing out on partying with the soldiers in his previous life. That ends up
being the strongest new component from that episode; despite being a
public-domain historical transplant who serves as this show's fundamental gimmick, we will be
seeing some characterization and development for Kongming himself.</p>
<p>It forms a neat parallel with the show's overall structure that strengthens the cohesiveness of the whole thing. Just as Kongming's past strategizing exploits inform his efforts in the modern day, his personal experiences and regrets from his past life inform how he chooses to interact with people now. Kongming was already adorably effective just basically acting as this show's mascot, so confirming that he'll be receiving some of that all-important humanity only makes him more appealing.</p>
<p>Any other concerns for how this show might trend forward are firmly questions for the future. I'm
not even entirely opposed to the idea of some adversarial elements. Mia, the rival musician
introduced in the second episode, has her propensity for Dick Datastardly-style antics which I
pretty well enjoy. Plus, come on, this is a show where the opening
features everyone dancing around to "Chikichiki Banban" (in what's got to be a contender for
opener of the year) – things are probably going to work out generally nicely overall. For now,
these are opening episodes that immediately make the conceptual hooks clear for Ya Boy
Kongming, a series that can seem like an oddly askew gimmick at first pass, but which I've
kind of utterly fallen for by this point in its efforts of establishing itself.</p>

<hr>
<div class="meat">
<p>Game developer UNIVRS Inc. announced on Tuesday that it has delayed its <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=12308">Attack on Titan</a></cite> VR: Unbreakable</cite> virtual reality (VR) <a href="/news/2022-12-08/attack-on-titan-manga-gets-vr-game-for-meta-quest-2-next-summer/.192700">game</a> to the latter half of 2024, in order to improve the game's quality. The game was initially announced with a summer 2023 release date, and was then delayed to winter 2023.</p>
<p align="center"><span style="display: block; width: 640px; max-width: 100%">
<span style="display: block; padding-top: 56.25%; position: relative;"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/D0bgZsgKwIc" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%;"></iframe></span></span></p>
<p>The game will launch on the Meta Quest 3, Meta Quest 2, and Meta Quest Pro VR headsets.</p>
<p>UNIVRS describes the game as a "hunting action game." Players take on the role of a soldier from the Survey Corps and hunt down Titans by using the <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=70">franchise</a></cite>'s iconic omni-directional mobility gear to freely move around in the environment.</p>
<p>The game will support up to two players, and will have English and Japanese language support for both text and voice acting.</p>
<p>UNIVRS previously developed the <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=14940">Little Witch Academia</a></cite> VR Broom Racing</cite> <a href="/news/2019-06-21/univrs-plans-kickstarter-for-little-witch-academia-vr-game/.148112">game</a> and debuted it for the Oculus Quest and Oculus Quest 2 (now the Meta Quest 2) platforms in October 2020. It <a href="/daily-briefs/2021-06-02/little-witch-academia-vr-game-launches-on-psvr-oculus-rift-steamvr-on-july-15/.173491">launched</a> for the <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=19354">PlayStation</a></cite> VR, Oculus Rift, and SteamVR devices in July 2021. UNIVRS launched a successful <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=13765">Kickstarter</a></cite> campaign for the game in July 2019.</p>

Now Team Otori has set their sights on an even higher goal: to become the five students who earn singing roles in the lofty Kao Council's prestigious graduation performance. However, they'll need one heck of a musical training montage to triumph over their immensely skilled new rivals and get the part! <b><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=19260">STARMYU</a></cite> season 2</b> is an original anime work and can be found <a href="http://www.crunchyroll.com/starmyu-season-2">streaming on Crunchyroll</a>, Mondays at 12:00 PM EST.<p></p> <hr>

<img src="/img/spacer.gif" class="fright lazyload" width="300" height="169" border="1" data-src="/thumbnails/max300x600/cms/preview-guide/114353/starmyu2laur.png.jpg"><p><strong>Lauren Orsini<br></strong></p>
<p><strong>Rating: 2</strong></p>
<p><cite class="e anime">STARMYU</cite> appeals to a very specific audience combination that fortunately has a lot of overlap: people who like male idols and people who like musicals. Season two brings back both of these things doubly, to the point that I'm having a little trouble keeping everything straight. </p>
<p>First of all, in addition to the first season's already sizable cast of multiple school idol groups, there are graduated idols, professional idols, and a brand new group of five new antagonists. Whew! Furthermore, there was not only one expected new song this episode, but two—complete with adequately animated dance sequences and bizarrely memorable environmental settings like a field of stone and headless mannequins for the edgy new antagonist idol center. Don't ask me to remember his name; I barely remember all the names from season one and instead resort to remembering their barely-there personality traits that read more like dating profiles than real people: the cool guy who rides a motorcycle, the one who's thoughtful enough to make everyone bentos, and so on.</p>
<p>The first season got the bulk of its drama from interpersonal relationships—who's unexpectedly related to who, who is rivals or best friends or both with who, etc. This season is shaping out to be no different, but I'm going to need an increasingly complex relationship chart with pictures and string and thumbtacks if I want to remember it all. The saner option would be to simply enjoy all these cute boys with the exact same face and slightly different hair and eye colors, all wiped clean of those pesky human characteristics that might make them either unappealing or interesting. This is a pretty show about pretty boys doing pretty things with absolutely no substance, and outside of its devoted core audience, it's doubtful that an increasingly complex second season is going to attract any newcomers.</p>

The <i>Spare Bike</i> spinoff will also receive an anime <a href="/news/2016-05-15/yowamushi-pedal-gets-spare-bike-anime-spinoff-before-season-3-january-debut/.102143">adaptation</a> with a two-week run in theaters this September.

<p>Ça y est, le crétin est de retour et Kiyomine est ronchon. Son super receveur est à nouveau une tête de mule qui n'y comprend rien.
<br>L'ambiance sur le terrain tourne au vinaigre, d'autant que les débutants de l'équipe sont vraiment dépassés. S'il est redevenu le Kei un peu stupide, il n'en reste pas moins fin psychologue et tente de recréer la cohésion d'équipe. Ainsi il prône le dialogue, ce que son comparse ne fait pas du tout, vu qu'il boude dans son coin. Il n'en veut pas à ses coéquipiers, il est juste furieux contre lui-même car il n'a pas contré les balles de l'adversaire. C'est aussi grâce à Kei et son empathie pour ses camarades que l'on pourrait en apprendre plus sur Chihaya, le taiseux introverti, qui ne veut pas en dire plus sur ses liens avec Makita, le lanceur de l'équipe adverse. Chihaya, même s'il est considéré comme de petite taille (1m67), est connu pour courir très vite. Batteur face à son ancien collègue, il fait littéralement une crise d'angoisse, se sentant freiné par de hauts murs. Elle est déclenchée par les railleries de Makita, qui pointe encore que le physique de Chihaya n'est pas adapté au baseball. C'est à cause de ce complexe qu'il est devenu boulimique, se faisant vomir après avoir englouti des tonnes de protéines. Depuis tout petit, son rêve était de devenir joueur professionnel et malgré son travail acharné, il avait un style qui, même s'il marquait des points, était jugé ennuyeux. Moyen partout sauf à la course, c'est le jour où il a affronté la batterie fatale qu'il a compris qu'il était devenu arrogant et s'était reposé sur ses lauriers. Après une discussion avec Makita, tout est devenu clair, il n'arriverait jamais à être aussi bon et ce qui le dévorait était l'envie. Ce fut le début de son arrêt et son rejet du baseball. Quelle ironie, qu'il retrouve ce sport grâce Kaname et Kiyomine.</p>
<p>Un épisode centré sur Chihaya, un personnage qui se relève et abat enfin les murs qui l'angoisse. Une belle rédemption. </p>

The first day of a new job can be stressful, especially when all of your new coworkers assume that you're just a random teenager who wandered into the office by accident. High school graduate Aoba has just landed her dream job, working at the video game studio that made her favorite game of all time. Just in case she wasn't already nervous enough, she's working directly under the person who inspired her to pursue a career as a character designer. The only problem is that all the employees at Eagle Jump seem just a little odd. The director is a total space case who regularly brings her cat to work, one of the character artists can barely communicate outside of instant messaging, and even Aoba's hero Yagami has a habit of sleeping under her desk without any pants on. How's a girl supposed to get any work done in a place like this? </p>
<p>If you're hoping that <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=17756">New Game!</a></cite> will do for video game development what <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=16189">Shirobako</a></cite> did for anime production, these first couple of episodes will likely come as a slight disappointment. The show doesn't seem all that interested in examining the creative process or sharing industry trivia. There's some basic information to be found here and there, but it's nothing the average fan wouldn't already know. The details of the job are mostly just a means to an end, whether it's giving the characters something to talk about or helping to fill in the show's world.</p>
<p>The cast is large enough that most of the characters don't really settle into their personalities until the second episode. In her own little corner of the company, Aoba has three coworkers and a supervisor, who in turn has her own supervisor. On top of that, we're introduced to a couple of senior staff members, one of Aoba's friends from high school, a cat, and a hedgehog. That's a lot of characters to bring in at the same time, so it feels like <cite class="e anime">New Game!</cite> is still in the process of figuring what to do with them all. Everyone is mildly eccentric in a harmless sort of way, which is about par for the course in a workplace comedy.</p>
<p>“Harmless” is also a fitting description for the comedy, as <cite class="e anime">New Game!</cite> leans more toward being cheerful and pleasant than laugh-out-loud funny. That's not to say these episodes don't have any humorous moments; Aoba's first day at work is amusingly hectic, and the welcoming party that her coworkers organize takes some entertaining twists and turns. While most of the comedy follows a set formula of Aoba reacting (or overreacting) to another character's quirky personality, the delivery and timing are generally on point. <cite class="e anime">New Game!</cite> does occasionally toss some <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=54">fanservice</a></cite> into the equation, usually through Yagami's habit of not wearing pants, but it's mostly played as part of a joke and fits in reasonably well with the tone of the series.</p>
<p>On the visual front, <cite class="e anime">New Game!</cite> turns in a respectable performance. The somewhat cutesy character designs are in keeping with the show's overall atmosphere, and the animation is pretty solid when the characters aren't just sitting around talking to one another. The background art might be the strongest element here, with each character's desk area offering some visual hints about her personality. The resident tomboy has a rack full of prop weapons, the fancy girl's desk has plenty of elaborate decorations, and so on. Considering how much time the series will likely be spending inside the Eagle Jump office, it certainly helps that the place is interesting to look at.</p>
<p><cite class="e anime">New Game!</cite> seems content to be an amusing workplace comedy in the style of <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=11017">Wagnaria!!</a></cite> or <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=15240">Servant X Service</a></cite>, and it's doing a pretty good job by the standards of the genre. These episodes offer an entertaining escape into a world where developing a video game isn't all that stressful, and it's possible for every single person in an office to be a friendly and attractive anime girl. As long as you don't go into it expecting something deeper or more ambitious, you'll find that it delivers what it promises.</p>

<p style="clear:right"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" class="fright lazyload" width="300" height="169" border="1" data-src="/thumbnails/max300x600/cms/episode-review/81041/ylia-ep-6-tsubaki-rotated.jpg">In the middle of this episode, Kaori and Kosei sit in the music room and discuss the piano competition she's entered Kosei into. Then Kosei says something that's very revealing. He says that in that room, it feels like he's in a "world with just them", but when he leaves, that world will go away. Kaori is the "girl his friend likes", and of course Kosei is in the middle of his own love triangle, though he's oblivious to it. This episode is all about those outside relationships, along with Kosei and Kaori's growing bond.</p>
<p>Tsubaki is more than just Kosei's childhood friend. She clearly has a crush on him, and it's difficult for her to watch him becoming closer to Kaori. She knows that, as a musician, Kaori has experiences and hobbies in common with him that Tsubaki will never share. She may have been his friend since childhood, but that may not be enough when it comes to love. Notably, this episode manages to conjure sympathy for Kaori's situation without turning her into an unlikable "obstacle" to the unrequited love that consumes Tsubaki's heart. If anything, Kaori becomes <em>easier</em> to root for this week over Tsubaki. Sure, she's become even <em>more</em> pushy toward renewing Kosei's piano career, but it isn't for selfish reasons. She wants to get Kosei into piano competitions to rekindle his love for the music, not just to make him an accompanist for her own violin achievements. Still, it can be uncomfortable seeing just <em>how much</em> she's invested in this goal, sometimes to the detriment of Kosei's own well-being, until she breaks down and explains her reasoning.</p>
<p>Kaori believes strongly in the idea of channeling one's pain through art, and she can tell that Kosei has a lot of pain in his past that he could use to play powerful music. This could seem idealistic or even exploitative, but it's clear that Kaori is speaking from experience here, not only through the passion she pours into her words, but of course through the hints of her being <em>not well</em> from last week. Even so, she breaks down in tears when she realizes how much she might be hurting Kosei, who she's come to care about deeply. Kosei tells her that he appreciates the push she's given him, but the damage is done. They've fallen for each other hard on multiple levels.</p>
<p>Still, it's nice to be reminded that this story isn't <em>just</em> about Kaori and Kosei's romance, with all the time this episode spends on Tsubaki. The series still cares about its other characters, and will continue to give them prominence when necessary. (Maybe Watari will get a future episode to himself, too.) The end of the episode also introduces two former rivals of Kosei's, eager to enact their revenge when they see that he's back in the competition circuit, providing even richer potential for character drama.</p>
<p>This focus on characters outside the primary romance meant this week's episode was a little quieter and less bombastic than past weeks. It didn't blow me away, but it was good at demonstrating what makes the series great. Music was used well here, both the diegetic stuff and <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=74">background music</a></cite>. The series even blended them when the Chopin etude that Kosei is learning for his competition is played in the background of his conversation scene with Kaori in the music room. The spirited etude added to the hustle and bustle of Kaori's energetic practice regimen, but there was also plenty of gentle, ambient music for Tsubaki's scene, indicating that her relationship with Kosei is stagnant, still just the supportive friendship it's always been.</p>
<p><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=16108">Your Lie in April</a></cite> wasn't out to wow anyone this week, but it still turned in a great episode. It was a good reminder that even when this show isn't going for spectacle or psychodrama, it's still one of the best things airing right now. Its characters are interesting, and their relationships ripe for conflict and growth, and those strong elements can carry the show all on their own.</p>

<p>Arms or not, this week we are going to talk about all the extras that come with the DX Soul of Chogokin <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1100">Mazinger Z</a></cite>. See the <a href="/astro-toy/2013-02-17/dx-soul-of-chogokin-mazinger-z-part-i">previous column</a> for a review of the base figure.</p>
<p>Before we get going, allow me some time to talk about what's going on with the defect issue. After days of trying to solve the problem, I concluded last time that my DX Mazinger had shipped with defective forearm parts, rendering it armless. Though I was already in communication with Bluefin (the US distributor) immediately-- and by proxy with Bandai-- I went ahead and did the review without those parts. There was no way anything would make it on time.</p>
<p>Not long after the first review went up, Bluefin got back to me with good news: Bandai was “looking into solutions” for the replacement. So I was at least glad to hear that soon this would be over.</p>
<p>After not hearing anything for a bit after this, I got back to Bluefin fearing the situation had changed. I was right. Going back on their word, Bandai was now “unable” to replace cheap plastic parts on their defective $400 figure. No explanation was given. This is unbelievable.</p>
<p>I want to differentiate between Bandai and Bluefin here. Bandai is the company that makes some of the highest-end premium toys available... and doesn't particularly care if your $400 robot ships broken. Bandai replaces defects for Japanese customers, here's <a href="http://www.bandai.co.jp/support/">their site</a> for that. “DX Mazinger's arms don't stay on” is among the top ten FAQs. They bring stuff around the world to show it off, but if a foreigner actually <em>buys</em> a defective item from them, then it's not their problem. That isn't right.</p>
<p>Bluefin is the distributor who went out of their way and beyond the call of duty, offering me the only pair of DX Mazinger arms they have, from off another unit. So I really appreciate that, and I'll let you know if the new arms work when I meet up with them. It's possible that the problem is with the body and not the arms... in which case I'll need a full replacement.</p>
<p>Bandai Japan, on the other hand, has treated me like a nuisance rather than a customer. And I'm a toy reviewer for some big anime site! Imagine how they'll treat you. Anyway, on with the review.<br>
<br>
</p>
<div align="center"><a href="/images/cms/astro-toy/60365/1.jpg"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="500" height="375" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max500x1000/cms/astro-toy/60365/1.jpg" class="lazyload"><br>
<br></a></div>
<br>
<p>Obviously there's the normal documentation, which I won't bore you with, but there's also a ten-page extras booklet which happens to contain some Mazinger fan gold. We get interviews with original creator <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=3140">Gō Nagai</a></cite>, prolific and renowned mechanical designer <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=264">Kazutaka Miyatake</a></cite> (I never knew he was the guy who drew the cutaway in the anime!), and <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=1202">Michihiro Ito</a></cite>, who was responsible for the TV show sound effects the figure uses. Also, there's a chart of the evolution of Mazinger toys up to present and gratiuitous shots of vintage <cite class="e anime">Mazinger Z</cite> and <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1997">Great Mazinger</a></cite> toys. All text in this package is in Japanese, and no translations are supplied.<br>
</p>
<div align="center"><a href="/images/cms/astro-toy/60365/2.jpg"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="500" height="375" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max500x1000/cms/astro-toy/60365/2.jpg" class="lazyload"><br>

<br></a></div>
<p>Which is a double shame, because the other booklet contains new manga by <cite class="e person">Gō Nagai</cite>! In a prequel chapter to the original comic, Uncle Go fills in blanks in the setup by explaining how exactly Kouji's grandpa came to the drastic action of building a giant robot in a hangar below their house. (Had he just seen Imagawa's version in Shin Mazinger?) This is limited to the first production run, so, heads up, you might not be able to get it if you order DX Mazinger now.</p>
<div align="center"><a href="/images/cms/astro-toy/60365/4.jpg"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="500" height="375" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max500x1000/cms/astro-toy/60365/4.jpg" class="lazyload"><br>
<br></a></div>
<div align="center"><a href="/images/cms/astro-toy/60365/5.jpg"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="500" height="375" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max500x1000/cms/astro-toy/60365/5.jpg" class="lazyload"><br>
<br></a></div>
<p>And on to the plastic. The big extra, if we can really call it that, is the hangar-style display case we're meant to keep Mazinger stashed in. It comes pre-built in heavy plastic and is the true reason this box is so huge. It's intended to store both Mazinger and his parts... but it doesn't store everything, only the base armor. If you want to keep everything in good shape-- and if you don't want to keep a figure like this in good shape, jeez, <strong>you have a lot of money</strong>-- you will still need to find a little box to put things into, or you'll have to dig into the monster box every time you want to switch certain parts.</p>
<p>Rather than something snapping into the body to secure it in place, there's a plastic bar that rests inside of a button at the back of the robot (Intended for the Jet Scrander later, I imagine?). He's definitely not going anywhere, but there are two other plastic bars (they're intended to be catwalks which tiny humans like ourselves might walk upon) in front that ensure the robot isn't falling down. I eventually stopped using the back bar completely: he's not budging.</p>
<div align="center"><a href="/images/cms/astro-toy/60365/6.jpg"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="500" height="375" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max500x1000/cms/astro-toy/60365/6.jpg" class="lazyload"><br>
<br></a></div>
<div align="center"><a href="/images/cms/astro-toy/60365/7.jpg"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="500" height="375" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max500x1000/cms/astro-toy/60365/7.jpg" class="lazyload"><br>
<br></a></div>
<p>How better to appreciate the overwhelming scale of this foot-tall robot than to put some puny cranes next to it? One sits on the floor, and the other can be attached to the catwalks. The one that sits on the floor has fully functioning wheels and articulation: you can push it around and go vroom-vroom, raise that crane and go RRRRR, you can do whatever.</p>
<div align="center"><a href="/images/cms/astro-toy/60365/8.jpg"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="500" height="375" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max500x1000/cms/astro-toy/60365/8.jpg" class="lazyload"><br>
<br></a></div>
<p>The hangar walls also serve to carry most of the armor and accessories that aren't currently in use on Mazinger's body. It isn't a full carry-all case: it's focused on the cutaway feature and it only packs the parts directly related to that. However, there wasn't room for the hand and foot armor, so it's not complete in that regard either. This is a very cool idea, but I really expected that this gigantic hangar was going to serve as a complete, self-contained case. There's nowhere else to put all these other pieces than back in that huge box. You are probably going to need an entire shelf for this figure, especially considering the Jet Scrander will come with its own display stand.</p>
<div align="center"><a href="/images/cms/astro-toy/60365/9.jpg"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="500" height="375" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max500x1000/cms/astro-toy/60365/9.jpg" class="lazyload"><br>
<br></a></div>
<div align="center"><a href="/images/cms/astro-toy/60365/10.jpg"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="500" height="375" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max500x1000/cms/astro-toy/60365/10.jpg" class="lazyload"><br>
<br></a></div>
<p>Three AAA batteries (find a screwdriver!) power the floodlights at the bottom of the hangar. You can swivel and turn them however you like to light Mazinger intimidatingly from below. </p>
<div align="center"><a href="/images/cms/astro-toy/60365/11.jpg"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="500" height="375" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max500x1000/cms/astro-toy/60365/11.jpg" class="lazyload"><br>
<br></a></div>
<p>Of course, turn your own lights off for spooky results.</p>
<p>The other big extra comes in the form of light and sound gimmicks. The robot itself takes two AAA batteries inside the chest compartment, and the included remote takes two more. Seven total. Add that to your cost. Anyway, it's better to demo this in video, right?</p>
<div align="center"><span style="display: block; width: 560px; max-width: 100%">

<div align="center"><a href="/images/cms/astro-toy/60365/12.jpg"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="500" height="375" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max500x1000/cms/astro-toy/60365/12.jpg" class="lazyload"><br>
<br></a></div>
<p>The remote wirelessly triggers nine diferent lines/sound effects and three different songs from the series: the opening theme song, the ending “Our <cite class="e anime">Mazinger Z</cite>”, and “Z's Theme”, commonly used when the robot goes into battle in the TV show. Sadly, despite his having plugged the figure, the songs are not accompanied by the voice of the original singer, Ichiro “Aniki” Mizuki. </p>
<p>Instead, we get karaoke versions like you'd hear in the Super Robot Wars games. This probably lends itself more to the “yelling over music” idea, but nothing is the same without Aniki. On the plus side, this leaves you free to sing along, perhaps to the lyrics of <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=5493">Isao Sasaki</a></cite>'s brilliant <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KK3g-d5BO1M">English version</a>. <em>Kouji can! Swim in the sky! He can fly beneath the sea! In his robot man! <cite class="e anime">Mazinger Z</cite>!</em></p>
<p>As the songs play on in the background, you can make Kouji Kabuto (played by original <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=75">voice actor</a></cite> <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=1023">Hiroya Ishimaru</a></cite>) yell to his heart's content, and boy is he loud. Furthermore, triggering the phrases “Mazin Go! Pilder On!”, “Photon Power Beam!”, or “Breast Fire!” will turn on the related lights in the figure, either in the eyes or on the chest. The second set of chest armor is intended for use with the lights, which are themselves inside the skeleton.</p>
<div align="center"><a href="/images/cms/astro-toy/60365/13.jpg"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="500" height="375" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max500x1000/cms/astro-toy/60365/13.jpg" class="lazyload"><br>
<br></a></div>
<p>The main annoyance here is that the big red button to turn on remote control mode lies just underneath the chest panel. Because the figure goes into sleep mode after a few minutes, you will have to remove the red chest plates, and then the chest armor, every single time you want to play with this feature. (Filming the video was really annoying for this reason!) I understand not wanting to have a physical switch on the body... but, wait, there already is one in the back, what the hell. </p>
<div align="center"><a href="/images/cms/astro-toy/60365/14.jpg"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="500" height="375" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max500x1000/cms/astro-toy/60365/14.jpg" class="lazyload"><br>
<br></a></div>
<p>Here's my final opinion: this is the most beautiful toy I've ever had delivered to me with a major, debilitating defect. If not for the defect and the customer service ordeal that has ensued for over a month since, it would easily be the best toy I've ever covered here. Unfortunately I got both that <em>and</em> our biggest disappointment at the same time.</p>
<p>What horrible luck and what a bittersweet experience, especially since unlike the usual Astro Toy, I've spent a lot of my own money on this. I've been alternatingly blissed out on all the cool stuff in this package and raged out at the defect and Bandai's indifference.</p>
<p>Why doesn't Bandai do proper quality assurance on their flagship of flagship items? Why does that item have the kind of minor flaws that don't belong on a $400 figure? And though it looks like Bluefin is going to help me out in an unexpected and very kind way, I am equally shocked, disappointed, and angry with Bandai's “inability” to fix a tiny piece of plastic on a $400 robot. Has nobody any pride in Mazinger Goddamn Z around here? Is it just me?</p>
<p>DX Mazinger is still $400 from Big Bad Toy Store, $450 on <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=14687">Amazon</a></cite>, and, again, due to its massive size you <em>really</em> should not try and ship this one in from Japan. If you're planning on buying this, you should probably do it ASAP... and though the odds seem low (I've seen very few reports of my problem in English and a couple on <cite class="e company">Amazon</cite> JP) there's no telling if you won't end up with the same defect as I did. Either way, the arms will kinda suck.</p>
<p>I will continue to bore you guys with where the defect story goes! I bought this toy a month ago, I'm still dealing with the fallout, and if Bluefin's solution doesn't work out then I have no further recourse: hopefully BBTS will still take it back. Can I really recommend you pay $400 for the possibility of this experience? Bandai sure seems to think I got a good deal.</p>
<p>The add-on Jet Scrander wings come out in June for about $100. I have an order on it, but if my existing order isn't fixed I'm obviously pulling it.</p>

Her latest series, <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=22870">Kowloon Generic Romance</a></cite>, ranked third in <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=15219">Takarajimasha</a></cite>'s <cite>This Manga is Amazing!</cite> ranking in 2021 and was also a prize winner of the Manga Taisho award that same year. In this interview with ANN, Mayuzuki shares her inspirations for <cite class="e anime">Kowloon Generic Romance</cite>, the research that went into creating it, and her feelings about categorizing it as sci-fi.</p>
<p><b>You've been drawing serialized, published manga since 2013. How did you get into drawing manga, and how did you arrive at doing it professionally?</b></p>
<p><b><cite class="e person">Jun Mayuzuki</cite>:</b> I get asked about how I became a manga artist or how I got into manga a lot. My parents really loved manga, so we had a ton of manga in the house. I was just in the right environment for both reading and enjoying manga and for creating manga. Instead of getting angry at me for reading manga, my parents were like, “Oh, you're reading that? Well, then you should read this one too.” They'd keep recommending me different series. I've also loved drawing ever since I was small. You add that to the fact that I was in a household full of manga, and it was sort of an inevitable outcome. </p>
<p>Right around that time, my parents bought me my first edition of <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=4042">Ribon</a></cite>, which was a monthly magazine published by <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=909">Shueisha</a></cite>. It was the first time I saw how manga is serialized, how it comes out in these magazines, and how you're able to follow the story week after week, or month after month in the case of <cite class="e anime">Ribon</cite>. The fact that you could follow these stories over time was so exciting and fun, and that really led to me thinking I really want to become a manga artist. It's fine to think that you want to become something, but then the question is, how would you become that thing? That part is a mystery even to myself. I just had this vague notion that I want to become a manga artist, and therefore I can become a manga artist. I was just kind of sure that I could do it, and it worked out for me as I am a manga artist now.</p>
<p><b>What has changed about your approach to producing manga in the ten years you've been doing it professionally?</b></p>
<p><b>MAYUZUKI:</b> I used to draw everything analog. I never used digital, but then COVID hit, and I changed to brushing up my manga with digital tools. Even now, if I really feel like I want to do it with pen and paper, then I will. When I was starting the serialization for <cite class="e anime">Kowloon Generic Romance</cite>, I had this vague idea of possibly switching to digital or incorporating some digital tools. I decided to go with analog, but then COVID happened, and I bought all these expensive tools and equipment for digital work. Now I incorporate it, but I really only just use it for brushing up screentone. I still draw the basics by hand. All of the covers of <cite class="e anime">Kowloon Generic Romance</cite> are drawn by hand - the line art, the colors, all of it. So basically, it's still mostly analog, with a little bit of digital sprinkled here and there.</p>

Can you expand on that interest and how it led you to create <cite class="e anime">Kowloon Generic Romance</cite>?</b></p>
<p><b>MAYUZUKI:</b> I actually started feeling attracted to the structural appeal of the walled city in my elementary school years. I saw movies, documentaries, and photo books, and I really liked the concept and structure. I had this feeling of “I really love Kowloon City” in my heart. That led to this desire of one day drawing a manga that's set in Kowloon. I had this desire for a long time, but I couldn't come up with a story that I thought would fit the setting. I kept my love for Kowloon deep inside of me and just figured that one day, I'll come up with a story that matches this. “It'll come to me.” And it did!</p>
<p>The photo books I bought in middle school make for great reference material now. With that said, it's not like I thought, “Oh, I want to do a story set in Kowloon, and therefore I'm going to do the story.” It was the other way around. I came up with the story, and I thought Kowloon would be a great setting for the story. </p>
<p>This goes back to something I mentioned in a previous interview about that editor who told me that my manga is like a diary. If <cite class="e anime">After the Rain</cite> is about my past emotions, and all these things that I loved were thrown into that work, <cite class="e anime">Kowloon Generic Romance</cite> is basically the present, with a little bit of the future. I would like to focus on the present: the thoughts and feelings that I'm having right now, what I love in this present moment, how I'm living my life in the present moment. This concept of time is a big theme in my works. In <cite class="e anime">Kowloon Generic Romance</cite>, there's not much reference to the future yet, but we are focusing on the present. If <cite class="e anime">After the Rain</cite> is for my past self, then <cite class="e anime">Kowloon Generic Romance</cite> is for my current self. And that is the keyword in the concept. And, yeah, that's how basically Kowloon led to the creation of this manga series. </p>
<p><b>Apart from your previous interest, what sort of research into Kowloon Walled City and other related cultural subjects did you conduct prior to beginning work on <cite class="e anime">Kowloon Generic Romance</cite>?</b></p>
<p><b>MAYUZUKI:</b> So, Kowloon Walled City doesn't exist anymore. It was taken down. There's a limit to how many photo books or photos exist of it. I actually tried to research a different place called Chongqing, which has a similar vibe to Kowloon. We considered going there to do our research since that place still exists, but that was right before travel became impossible on a global level. I haven't been able to go to see the places in person, so I try to look for materials for any other locations around Hong Kong that might have a similar feel to them. If I see a photo book of something in Hong Kong that showcases the crowdedness or the liveliness of the place, I just buy it on the spot. Honestly, I really want to go to meet the locals, to know what they're feeling, what kind of meals they eat, what the smell of the city is like, etc. I feel like that's something you can't tell unless you actually go there. I try to look for different ways to get a hold of that information. I follow people on social media and try to get information from Japanese people who are living in Hong Kong. I will look at their social media feed, thinking, “Oh, that's how much this meal costs,” or “Oh, that's how they live their daily life.” Or I'll look at their photos for inspiration and as a reference. Of course, I can't copy their photos for my drawings. That would be a total no-no, but I do look at it. </p>
<p>Since I can't go, given the state of the world, I draw from my experience in Taiwan since it's at least a place in Asia that has some similarities with Kowloon, such as having a lot of street stalls. I have a very strong policy that if I reference something from Taiwan, I make sure to say that in the manga. I don't want to mix up something from Taiwan with something from Hong Kong and just treat it like it's all the same. I do make that very, very clear. My big desire is to go and see how just the average person lives their life in Hong Kong. Otherwise, I just scour the internet and use what photo books I can find, but it's a pretty difficult process. I'm constantly worried that I might not be capturing the culture and atmosphere correctly since I've never seen it myself. It's always a huge relief to me when someone who's actually been to Hong Kong reads my work and tells me they felt the same atmosphere. It's a huge comfort every time I hear it.</p>

How do you approach conveying information in your stories without dialogue?</b></p>
<p><b>MAYUZUKI:</b> One thing that's really important to me when I'm creating manga is to think about the tempo of the story. Not just the tempo inside the story but the rhythm of the real world if this manga was happening in real life. I think that a comfortable rhythm differs for each person, and this is the comfortable rhythm for me. I think it's very similar to rap. Rap music has this very steady rhythm. When I read manga, I can feel the rhythm that feels good to me. That's what I'm trying to incorporate into my storyboards. Sometimes, if I feel like a sequence is going too fast, I'll try to add a wordless panel in the middle to let the reader take a breath. It's like a pause in the music or a pause in the rhythm. From that point, we go fast, or we go slow, but there's like a set rhythm that I'm trying to keep with my sequences. I don't actually compose music myself, but I do try to draw my storyboards like I'm composing music. I think about the flow of the rhythm and the tempo of the storyline a lot. Obviously, not all readers are going to read my works at the same rhythm that I created it with, but I do think that anybody who has the same attraction towards this comfortable rhythm will find my works very attractive. Thinking about my work in terms of rhythm is just a habit for me now. That's why sometimes my works have panels that are very similar or come in sequential order. I'll have dialogue sequences and dialogue-less sequences. It's just a result of thinking about the rhythm of the work.</p>
<p><b>The art on <cite class="e anime">Kowloon Generic Romance</cite> is incredibly detailed, especially the backgrounds. Do you have a specific process for conceiving and creating such lived-in-looking backgrounds like these?</b></p>
<p><b>MAYUZUKI:</b> So, as far as <cite class="e anime">Kowloon Generic Romance</cite> goes, I have this assistant named Mr. Tobise. Thankfully, he really likes drawing tiny details. I asked him to do the spread that shows up in Volume 1, Chapter 1, which is the same drawing that's used under the dust jacket of all the Japanese volumes of <cite class="e anime">Kowloon Generic Romance</cite>. It's a very detailed cityscape of Kowloon. I was like, “I am so sorry, but this is what I want.” When I asked him to do it, I just felt so bad, but he was like, “Yeah, okay,” and just did it. If I was in his shoes, I would have quit working for me in two days. I really thought it was going to take him a whole day to do it, but he came back after a few hours. I was so surprised.</p>
<p>It's great that my assistant is really good at doing these tiny details, and he loves doing it. For <cite class="e anime">Kowloon Generic Romance</cite>, there's so much of the inside of the city that gets depicted in the manga. According to Mr. Tobise, once you get the hang of it, it's really not that bad because there's a certain pattern to the way of things. For <cite class="e anime">After the Rain</cite>, I did draw my own backgrounds, but it really took me a long time. I did have good assistants then too, but Mr. Tobise's doing most of the background work right now. </p>

You have the ability and techniques to do it.</p>
<p><b>MAYUZUKI:</b> Yeah, I could do it, but I don't really want to because it's going to take me a long time. For Mr. Tobise, it always seems to take less than I expect him to take. He's a really efficient worker. He's just a really, really competent assistant. I do obviously draw a lot of the work. There's a chapter title page with many Gene Terra plushies coming out of the door. I did draw all of that. I don't know how much hard work it is for Mr. Tobise, but he has said that he has a fun time doing it. He enjoys doing it. </p>
<p><b>Compared to <cite class="e anime">After the Rain</cite>, which was very real-world based, <cite class="e anime">Kowloon Generic Romance</cite> has more science-fiction and fantastical elements. How different was your approach to crafting a series like this after your previous one?</b></p>
<p><b>MAYUZUKI:</b> Kowloon doesn't exist anymore, as previously mentioned, so it makes it difficult to draw it in today's world. I decided to make it a story about the not-so-distant future since I'm setting it in Kowloon, which is a place that no longer exists. There are some mysterious elements, such as people who aren't supposed to exist, yet they're alive in the story, but I don't think of my work as science fiction. I do think about the timeline of it, setting it in the near future. </p>
<p><b><cite class="e company">SHUEISHA</cite> EDITORIAL STAFF: </b> Maybe it's not "SF" like science-fiction. Maybe it's the way the manga artist Fujiko described "SF," which is ‘sukoshi fushigi’ in Japanese. So, "a little mysterious." </p>
<p><b>MAYUZUKI:</b> don't know. I don't feel like I was intending it to be like that. I definitely don't intend it to be science fiction. I've heard feedback from readers who read it as science fiction, and they enjoy it as science-fiction. I think if my readers want to analyze it from a sci-fi standpoint, then that's fine. I'm not going to stop them, but personally, I'm not interested in science fiction. I do think that whether you set a story in the past, say, in the Sengoku Era, or if you decide to start a story in the future, the important thing is what kind of people live there? What kind of lifestyle are they leading? What kind of changes are they undergoing? What kind of growth are they undergoing? What are they obtaining throughout their lives? I feel like that's the important part of the story, and that's the part that I want to draw as a manga artist. If Kowloon still existed today, I might not have set it in the near future, but I would have still drawn the same story.</p>
<p>In terms of genre, where my works fit in has always been sort of a debate. Before I started serialization, I was doing these one-shots, and there will always be this question, “Where does this fit?” I kept experiencing this phenomenon of putting a story in a shojo manga magazine, and then I would get comments that it belongs in a seinen magazine. I published <cite class="e anime">After the Rain</cite> in a seinen magazine for young men, but then I would get comments that it belongs in a shojo magazine because it's more romantic. Different readers seem to have different perspectives of my works, and that gives them different opinions about where my works fit in. I'm trying really hard right now to not obsess over where my work fits in. It's quite clear that maybe it's not up to me. I would prefer it if the publishers just take it and put it in a place where they feel like it would be easiest for readers to understand. As far as calling <cite class="e anime">Kowloon Generic Romance</cite> sci-fi goes, that's not my intention. Sci-fi has its own fan base. If I were to say it's a sci-fi romance, I feel like the fans of science fiction are going to complain because it doesn't actually fit the mold of science fiction. So, we always say that it's a mystery, or what they call ‘suspense’ in Japanese - a genre of mystery that focuses on building tension and anticipation and having these mysterious components. Obviously, people are free to consider it whichever genre, but I don't want the science fiction police to come after me. There are also people who police me about the Kowloon-ness of my work, so there are police everywhere. It's really like mystery suspense, close to the genre of horror in Japanese literature called 'Kaidan,' which is when scary things happen in a very realistic setting. </p>
<p><b>Your works regularly focus on older characters, like both the leads of <cite class="e anime">Kowloon Generic Romance</cite> and Masami in <cite class="e anime">After the Rain</cite>. Can you describe any reasons for your interest in following these kinds of characters?</b></p>
<p><b>MAYUZUKI:</b> I decided on having a woman in her 30s early on, and I feel like the reason might be because of my tendency to draw manga like I write diaries. In <cite class="e anime">After the Rain</cite>, we had this teenage character, and it's not fun to do the same thing over again, so the characters in <cite class="e anime">Kowloon Generic Romance</cite> are in their 30s. </p>
<p>If we look at Akira being 17 in <cite class="e anime">After the Rain</cite>, then the next progressive step after that would have been to draw someone in their 20s, but I wanted to go further. It came at a time when there were no older adult female characters being prominently featured in young magazines. I thought having someone in their 30s is a good character setting for my next work, and 32 is just an age that I like. I like the sound of it. I like 32. It might seem kind of random, but I wanted to draw an adult woman. It's not actually Reiko who fits that bill. It's Kujirai B. She's the one that I really felt like I wanted to draw.</p>
<p><b>OKUMA-SAN:</b> Mayuzuki-sensei is really good at showing the appeal of older characters, both men and women. It might be because she's just really good at observing them in that positive light and then putting that in her works. </p>
<p><b>MAYUZUKI:</b> Yeah, maybe that is what it is. I do feel like older people just have more attractiveness to them. If I had to summarize the reason for having these older characters in my works in one word, it's my personal preference.</p>

Has romance always been a favorite storytelling convention of yours? If you were to do a non-romantic story next, what do you think it would be?</b></p>
<p><b>MAYUZUKI:</b> It's not that I especially love romance as a genre or as a material. As far as I'm concerned, there are not many romantic elements in <cite class="e anime">After the Rain</cite> from my perspective, which is why I tried to pour that into <cite class="e anime">Kowloon Generic Romance</cite>. I put it in the title as well - 'Generic Romance.' It's not like it's my favorite thing that I have special, strong feelings about. </p>
<p><b><cite class="e anime">Kowloon Generic Romance</cite> has been running since late 2019 for, as of this writing, a total of eight volumes. What are your hopes for the series as it continues and for the readers to get out of it as they keep following it?</b></p>
<p><b>MAYUZUKI:</b> We were hoping to get it done in around 10 volumes, but I think it's going to take about 12 or 13 volumes. I don't want to extend the story or squish it down. I want to draw what I want to draw at the moment, but I do think that 10 volumes is a nice length. It's an easy length for people to pick up the series after it's finished, which is what we were aiming for. To my readers, I want to say that I know that this story is more complicated than my other previous works, and I know that some people are looking at it as a sci-fi story. However, the focus is more about how the characters live their lives, what kind of food are they eating, what kind of emotions are they feeling, what kinds of changes are they undergoing, etc. That's something that I've been trying to incorporate into my works ever since I was doing one-shots and short stories. I understand that some people might have fun with mysteries that are sort of scattered in this series, and if they want to have fun with it, that's fine. To any readers who are following along and getting a bit confused by the plot or feeling they can't keep up, I want you to really focus on the characters and follow the characters on their journey, because I think that is what's going to keep the story fun and interesting. If any of you are keeping up with <cite class="e anime">Kowloon Generic Romance</cite> and following along, I would really appreciate it if you can keep up with me until the end of the series. Thank you.</p>

<p>Achoo! <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=19438">Laguna Ten Bosch</a></cite> theme park visitors' cells will be hard at work at the <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=20564">Cells at Work!</a></cite> in <cite class="e company">Laguna Ten Bosch</cite> <a href="https://www.lagunatenbosch.co.jp/event/2019/hataraku-saibou/index.html" target="_blank">event</a>.

<p>The theme park will set up an exhibition about the series' characters, a video in the theater area starring Helper T-Cell (played by <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=5039">Takahiro Sakurai</a></cite>), and mission activities like carrying oxygen to each area, finding and activating the Naive T Cells, and exterminating the influenza virus. Participants that manage to complete all three of Helper T-Cell's missions will receive a certificate with a limited edition design.</p>

<p>Characters from the show will be roaming around the park including red blood cells, naive T cells, and dendritic cells.</p>
<p>The event will run at <cite class="e company">Laguna Ten Bosch</cite> Lagunasia park in Gamagori, Aichi until May 6.</p>
<p>"Influenza" appeared in the third episode of the <cite class="e anime">Cells at Work!</cite> anime series and the third chapter of the manga series.

<p><cite class="e company">Crunchyroll</cite> describes the episode's story:
</p>
<blockquote>Tired of repeating the same task (cell division) day after day, the Normal Cell laments while working his boring job, when a mysterious cell wearing a charming hat suddenly appears in front of him. This cell proceeds to invite the Normal Cell to spread mischief and play pranks on the White Blood Cells (Neutrophils) and Killer T Cells.

<p><cite class="e company">Sav! The World Productions</cite> describes the anime:
</p>
<blockquote>
Every 10.000 years, champions from every civilization in the galaxy face off during a mystical and dangerous competition - the Great Race of Oban. Though shrouded in mystery, it is said the outcome of the race will completely redefine the balance of power within the Milky Way. For the Earth-Team, defeat is not an option as it may well spell the end of the fragile and embattled human race.<p>Too bad Earth's ace pilot falls victim to a terrible sabotage in the early stages of the pre-selection! With no other replacement available within a 25 light years radius, our last chance of victory now squarely rests on the shoulders of a rebellious 15-year-old mechanic, Molly, and her gung-ho copilot, Jordan. But the young woman is not prepared to shoulder such a huge responsibility. The only reason she joined the team (under an alias: her real name's Eva) was to confront her father, stern race manager Don Wei, the man who abandoned her in a boarding school ten years ago and never even bothered to call.</p>
<p>Will “Molly” manage to pilot under her father's harsh command, let alone survive the mad competition? Will she ever find the strength to tell him who she truly is, and grow past the wounds of her past thanks to her new friends: Jordan and Nourasian prince Aikka? Whatever happens, Molly's fate, as well as the future of the human race, are now inextricably intertwined!</p>

<p>Akatsuka led a distinguished career. He was born in 1935 in Manchuria, the area that is now the northeastern part of China. When World War II ended, his family moved back to live in Japan's Nara and Niigata prefectures. Since he dreamed of becoming a manga artist like <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=883">Osamu Tezuka</a></cite> (<cite class="e anime">Astro Boy</cite>, <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=1342">Jungle Emperor</a></cite>/<cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=627">Kimba the White Lion</a></cite>), he moved to Tokyo in 1954 to work in a factory while he honed his craft. He lived in the Tokiwa-sō, the Tokyo apartment building that became the haunt of famous and soon-to-be-famous artists such as Tezuka, <cite class="e person">Shōtarō Ishinomori</cite> (<cite class="e anime">Cyborg 009</cite>, <cite class="e anime">Kamen Rider</cite>, <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=5413">The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past</a></cite>), and the <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=5405">Fujiko Fujio</a></cite> duo (<cite class="e anime">Doraemon</cite>).</p>
<p>Akatsuka made his professional debut with <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=21231">Arashi o Koete</a></cite> in 1956, and his first hit was 1962's original <cite class="e anime">Osomatsu-kun</cite> gag manga in <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=4118">Shonen Sunday</a></cite>. This manga won a <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=57">Shogakukan</a></cite> Manga Award in 1965. Akatsuka helped pioneer a new kind of gag manga that specialized in fast-paced, nonsensical humor. He would create dozens of manga titles, including the <i><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1460">Mōretsu Atarō</a></cite></i> children's comedy, the popular family comedy <cite class="e anime">Tensai Bakabon</cite>, and the earliest magical girl manga <cite class="e anime">Himitsu no Akko-chan</cite>. In 1997, the Japan Cartoonists Association gave him the Literary Giant Award.</p>

The medical suspense manga, which tells the story of a fictional town in Japan becoming overrun with a mysterious plague, originally ran in <cite class="e company">Kodansha</cite>'s <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=11660">Evening</a></cite> magazine from 2017 to 2018 and comprises three volumes in total. The title is a reference to a character from Albert Camus's classic existential novel <cite>The Plague</cite>.</p>
<p>The timing of the rerun is no coincidence, as the new coronavirus COVID-19 spreads rapidly across the world. According to the manga's <a href="https://comic-days.com/blog/entry/riu_muryo" target="_blank">page</a> on <cite class="e anime">Comic Days</cite>, the first eight chapters were previously released for free, and this new serialization has been spurred by overwhelming response they received. "Although this work is fiction, and the scenario portrayed in it is different from reality, we hope it provides some help regarding 'the right way to be afraid,'" reads the introductory text. </p>
<p>The manga's entire story will be serialized weekly for free, although readers who purchase coins through the website or app will be able to read ahead.</p>
<p>On Twitter, Akato <a href="https://twitter.com/acatoao/status/1245243326397173760" target="_blank">wrote</a>: "By the time this weekly serialization ends, I hope the situation has calmed down in the real world..."</p>
<p>The first reported cases of COVID-19 were in Wuhan, China in December, and then the disease began to spread in varying rates and intensities across many parts of the globe through incubation in human hosts. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared a world health emergency on January 30, and announced on March 11 that it is classifying the outbreak as a pandemic. As of Tuesday, the WHO <a href="https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/685d0ace521648f8a5beeeee1b9125cd" target="_blank">reported</a> that there are 754,948 infected individuals worldwide. 36,571 individuals have died from the disease.</p>
<p>As of Tuesday, the WHO reported that Japan has 1,953 cases of COVID-19 with 56 deaths. These numbers do not include the number of cases from the <i>Diamond Princess</i> cruise ship docked in Yokohama. That cruise ship had 712 infected passengers with seven deaths.</p>
<p>The Japanese government is <a href="/news/2020-03-30/japan-to-extend-entry-ban-to-u.s-china-s-korea-most-of-europe/.158089">restricting</a> travel to the country as the Japanese foreign ministry aims to raise the travel alert for these regions to level 3. The Tokyo government called for Tokyo residents to stay at home starting last Wednesday, after three straight days of record numbers of new COVID-19 cases. </p>

<br>
Project Takes "In the Spotlight" Position at Tokyo International Film Festival, October 21-29, 2006<br>
<br>
Los Angeles, CA (October 13, 2006) - Fresh on the heels of acquiring worldwide film rights to its hit manga series, <cite class="e anime">Lament of the Lamb</cite>, a gut-wrenching horror story of a young man who shockingly discovers he may be the last in a bloodline of vampires, <cite class="e company">TOKYOPOP</cite> has chosen the property to launch the company's first foray into independent film production. Currently in development, the <cite class="e anime">Lament of the Lamb</cite> film venture has landed a coveted "In The Spotlight" position at this year's 19th Annual Tokyo International Film Festival. Ranked as one of the world's largest film festivals and Japan's only officially approved international film gathering, the 2006 Tokyo International Film Festival will be held in Tokyo from October 21 through October 29, 2006.<br>
<br>
Created by <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=18549">Kei Toume</a></cite> and originally published in Japan by <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=15605">Gentosha</a></cite>, <cite class="e anime">Lament of the Lamb</cite> follows the physical and mental torment of a man who discovers that he is cursed with a hereditary disease that makes him crave blood. A metaphor for teenage alienation, twisted sexual desire and insanity, <cite class="e anime">Lament of the Lamb</cite> presents psychological horror at its best.<br>

Flower Mound, Texas (January 21, 2010) – <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=6515">FUNimation Entertainment</a></cite>, the leading distributor of Japanese animation in North America, announced today that <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=369">Media Factory</a></cite> has given the company the rights to the online <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=121">simulcast</a></cite> of the new series “Freezing.”<br>
<br>
The first two episodes will be available at www.<cite class="e company">funimation</cite>.com/video starting Monday, January 24 at 9:30 a.m. CST. Each week a new episode will be added to the site in addition to third-party streaming partners and week after Japanese broadcast.<br>
<br>
“Freezing” is a 12-episode produced by <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=9773">A.C.G.T</a></cite> and directed by <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=324">Takashi Watanabe</a></cite> (“<cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=2572">Ikki Tousen</a></cite>,“ “Slayers”) and adapted from the manga series of the same name created by Lim Dall-Young and Kim Kwang-Hyun.<br>
<br>
“Freezing” is a sci-fi action series set in a futuristic world. Earth has been invaded and is at war with aliens from another dimension called the Nova. Kazuya Aoi lost his sister in the fight and has enrolled in Genetics, a military academy. There, Pandoras and Limiters, genetically modified girls with super fighting skills, and their male partners who use special "freezing" powers to limit their opponent's mobility, are trained to fight against the Nova. Kazuya befriends Satellizer el Bridget, a powerful Pandora with a cold personality, and becomes her Limiter.

<p><b>November 10, 2016 - Higashihiroshima, JAPAN -</b> KEMCO proudly announces the release of Astral Frontier set to hit the <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=12897">Google Play</a></cite> Store™ today. Standard price of the premium app is $4.99, but to celebrate the release it is made available for just $2.99, while a freemium version featuring in-game advertisements of the app will also be available at the same time!</p>
<p><b>Story</b><br>
A polluted world where environmental degradation has pushed humanity to the brink of extinction. Orion has no choice but to accept an arranged marriage in the hope that it will save his endangered village. But just as he begins to accept his fate, a chance encounter... This seemingly insignificant encounter alters our hero's fate and leads to massive changes that ultimately impact the entire world...</p>
<p><b>Equip elemental stones to learn skills</b><br>
Equip the Elemental Stones found in the field to learn skills. Experiment with different combinations and use them effectively in battle to emerge victorious and strengthen your characters. Stones can be removed/equipped during battle, allowing the player to make split-second decisions that can turn the tide in your favor.</p>
<p><b>Unleash your hidden potential</b><br>
Defeat bosses and open blue treasure chests to acquire PB (Potential Bits). These can be equipped on any character for a higher rare item drop rate, damage reduction, and other powerful benefits. Unleash your characters' hidden potential and lead your party to victory.</p>
<p><b>What awaits at the end of the adventure?</b><br>
Seeing the ending once does not mean your adventure is over. Additional scenarios, dungeons, weapons, and armor await the player after their first clear. Fight your way to another truth that will bring this tale to its conclusion.</p>

The current president of <cite class="e company">Aniplex</cite>, <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=261206">Kōichirō Natsume</a></cite>, will continue in his role and will work with Katsumata to guide the company.

<p><cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=181">Masuo Ueda</a></cite> is succeeding Katsumata as the CEO and President of <cite class="e company">A-1 Pictures</cite>, since Katsumata is leaving that role but remains as a board director. </p>

He served as executive producer on <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=2960">Fullmetal Alchemist</a></cite>, <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=5088">Blood+</a></cite>, <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=73">Rurouni Kenshin</a></cite>, and many other <cite class="e company">Aniplex</cite> projects.

Given my disparaging of <i>LasDan</i>'s laborious setup of its latest story last week, I guess I can't complain too much when it turns out to only last for one more episode. Indeed, for all its seeds and saplings planted over the course of the preceding half-hour, this one's much more interested in the payoff it can mine in the forms of various gags and farcical indulgences. It also ends up prioritizing humor and entertainment at the expense of its own overt story in a way I ended up appreciating. Don't worry, I'll get on explaining my takeaway on all the various bits of this entry, but mostly I was just amused at how it came off as a course-correction after only two episodes. On the other hand, maybe the show laying that much foundation for payoff punchlines that ended up being mostly just okay still isn't the best sign of its resource management.</p>
<p>Even amongst all its hotel hijinx and treant trifles, <i>LasDan</i> still decides to make time for other kinds of stock shenanigans, such as opening with that most hallowed of romance-comedy institutions: The fake dating plot. Lloyd and Selen seemingly going along with the arranged-marriage interview from the previous episode mostly comes off as a vehicle for Selen to get continued mileage out of her Lloyd-lusting bit, with some tonally-disparate nods to her belt backstory and Lloyd's inferiority complex. It's not really anything new, though it does seem to be here at the behest of clarifying later in the episode that Selen's love for Lloyd as well as her father is a truly heartfelt sentiment from her. I can appreciate that as a way to bring a character like Selen down closer to earth, who might come off as overtly ridiculous too much of the time otherwise.</p>
<p>But despite making that focus the basis for the title of this episode, <i>LasDan</i> apparently tires of the fake-dating plot almost as quickly as it introduces it. Instead it just moves onto a succession of slightly-sexy pratfalls, first with a ‘massage’ bit continuing Kikyou's demon-sapling misunderstanding from last week, followed by conspicuously bringing in nearly every female character so far for an indulgent bathing scene. The former is kind of funny, mostly carried by all the entertaining flourishes from Selen as she crashes what turns out to be a surprisingly raunchy rub-down. Marie still doesn't have much to do this episode, meaning Selen's reactions and face game have to step up to carry the comedy quotient. Her belt also continues to be an element the animators on this show are clearly having fun with; the way it acts as a semi-sentient censor in the bath scene at least slightly elevates what would be a much more rote segment otherwise.</p>
<p>However, it's at this point, right as the treant plot is being explained to us again, that the show suddenly leapfrogs itself in a way I can't really complain about, but must still acknowledge as oddly-accelerated. Minoki, secretary to Threonine who straight-up admits that no one remembers him, abruptly appears before Kikyou and blurts out his sole responsibility for every element of the treant scheme. Given the sheer number of parts that we were presented with previously, revealing them all to be briskly orchestrated by this one guy, with barely a motivation beyond apparently wanting to make Threonine look bad, feels like the show suddenly getting tired of dragging out its own plot and spontaneously deciding to wrap things up here. Admittedly it does work with the show's sense of anticlimax, with Kikyou shrugging off Minoki's explanation halfway through his speech because it doesn't jibe with the farcical Lloyd-focused part of the plot she's become fixated on. </p>
<p>The other issue at this point is that <i>LasDan</i> kind of repeats itself for a moment here, going through the same motions of Lloyd being oblivious to a villain's nature, right down to him thinking he's just wearing a costume again. There's a fine line between effective repetition of a gag and just running it into the ground. The thing is, the series does figure out how to propel itself somewhat progressively as the action escalates, with Marie actually giving Lloyd a clue as to what's going on, resulting in an appreciable step forward for him. This is a fun new punchline: Lloyd thinking he only just actually beat a monster for the first time, and attributing it mostly to the assistance of his friends besides. It fits with the progression of his character and finds a way for him to move forward from simply wallowing in that faux-inferiority. If these characters are mostly going to exist as vehicles for jokes, I'll prefer to see them provide <i>new</i> jokes occasionally.</p>
<p>It all makes for an episode I was mostly fine with. It was definitely more interesting and entertaining than the previous one. I just don't know if it was worth all that setup, especially as the payoff here was specifically at the expense of how little we were actually supposed to care about the plot. It makes me question the series' overall priorities, with characters like the mysterious Shoma dropping in on this one to lay down more cryptic potential beats for later. I'm therefore becoming less interested in the long-term implications of what those supposed story elements will be, and more just checking my watch until they subvert it with some goofy anticlimax. The most I could hope for is that the result is at least kinda funny.</p>

<p>Vanitas et Noé ne se connaîtraient-ils pas de leur enfance ? Il semble qu'ils aient tous deux été soumis à d'atroces expériences. C'est une femme vampire qui les auraient sortis de cet enfer, Noé serait parti avec elle, Vanitas, lui, n'aurait pas voulu la suivre… <br>Les années sont passées, embrumant les souvenirs de chacun. Mais s'il est une personne que Vanitas n'a jamais oubliée, c'est bien le docteur Moreau (clin d'œil au roman de George Orwell). Quand ils le retrouvent dans les sous-sols de Paris, n° 69, puisque tel est le nom de notre héros ne semble pas en vouloir plus que cela au médecin fou (ce qui est tout de même bizarre). Il présente sa troupe comme des amis du médecin. En le flattant, il veut en apprendre plus, notamment sur les surhommes que le monstre a créés à partir de vampires. En fait, cet homme complètement barge n'a qu'un but : devenir un vampire. Selon lui, c'est l'avenir de l'humanité. Mais comme il n'a pas été compris par l'Eglise, il s'est mis à les étudier. Il raconte qu'un jour le vampire de la lune bleue a attaqué son laboratoire, détruit ses recherches et enlevé Vanitas et Noé. Ce dernier serait en fait le n° 71, le frère de Vanitas.
<br>Ce n'est pas encore très clair, mais les choses semblent bien plus brumeuses que l'on pouvait le penser. Car, en plus, le médecin taré est protégé par un maître bien puissant, il arrive à s'enfuir grâce à l'intervention de l'Araignée, l'un des membres des Charlatans… Mais qui est donc ce mystérieux protecteur ? </p>

<p>The official website for the <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=19338">Fairy Tail: Dragon Cry</a></cite> anime film <a href="http://gaga.ne.jp/FT.DC/top.html" target="_blank">revealed</a> a new key visual on Wednesday. The website also announced that <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=28816">Tetsuya Kakihara</a></cite> (voice of Natsu) and <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=6581">Aya Hirano</a></cite> (Lucy) will attend an opening day stage greeting event at Tokyo's <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=18285">TOHO Cinemas Shinjuku</a></cite> on May 6.</p>

<p>The website revealed last Wednesday that theaters showing the film will <a href="/daily-briefs/2017-04-12/fairy-tail-dragon-cry-filmgoers-get-storyboard-booklet-by-creator-hiro-mashima/.114690">give</a> viewers a free booklet while supplies last. The booklet contains the rough storyboards for the film that original manga creator <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=12763">Hiro Mashima</a></cite> drew. Mashima drew 193 pages of storyboard for the film (pictured below), and is also serving as executive producer. Mashima also drew rough sketches for the characters and the key visuals for the film, which feature Natsu half transformed into a dragon.</p>

<p>Starting in the movie's second week on May 13, each filmgoer will receive one of three randomly distributed character bromide photos of Natsu, Lucy, or Sonya, complete with a reproduced signature of the respective character's voice cast member.</p>

<p>Idol anime <i><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=14062">Love Live!</a></cite></i> is in a special collaboration with game developer <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=79">Sega</a></cite> for their special Summer Campaign, kicking off on August 8. Taking place in <cite class="e company">Sega</cite> Amusement arcades across Japan, customers can nab some limited edition goods. </p>
<p>Anyone who presents a ticket stub from a viewing of <i><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=16742">Love Live! The School Idol Movie</a></cite></i> will receive an exclusive sticker sheet featuring screenshots from the film. Fans who viewed the movie internationally are also eligible to receive said stickers. Those without ticket stubs can still receive and present a printout sheet at participating locations. </p>

<p>For simply visiting the store, customers will receive a special hand fan. Two different designs will be available, one on August 8 and the other on September 1.</p>

<center>September version</center>
<p>The claw catcher games will feature some special acrylic stand panel figures, featuring the μ's members individually. These will be released on September 12-27. These games will also present a special <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=268358">Rin Hoshizora</a></cite> and Sonic design towel. As the <a href="/interest/2015-06-14/love-live-s-rin-next-sega-collaboration-announced/.89141">new image girl</a> for <cite class="e company">Sega</cite>, it seems only natural for her to be paired alongside <cite class="e company">Sega</cite>'s mascot.</p>

<p>Furthermore, clear panel screenshots of the movie will be winnable as prizes in token games.</p>

<p>Nendoroid Plus will also participate with a special mobile campaign, where participants can earn points to get some prizes. 10 points will win a limited edition poster, 15 points a Nendroid Plus phone strap featuring Rin hugging Sonic the Hedgehog close to her, and 30 points a jumbo plushie of the same Rin and Sonic design.</p>

<p>Many prizes are still forthcoming and have yet to be announced. Twitter will also have a re-tweet campaign to win some of the prizes mentioned above. The Summer Campaign will last until September 27.</p>
