what’s new?
Written by tokidoki ty on June 27, 2009 – 3:25 pm - i guess since even though we have a staff of nine people, i’m the only one that bothers to update >o> i’ll just provide you guys with a little bit of what’s going on recently.
for me @ work
this really quiet girl comes over to my desk and picks up my sebastian (from kuroshitsuji) figurine and says “i just wanted to let you know that this makes you AWESOME.” to which i replied warily “…why’s that?” to which she replies: “because nobody else knows what code geass is!”
i didn’t correct her.
life-size gundam
i don’t know how you can’t have heard of this; it’s almost as big of news as mikey jackson kicking the bucket. but on odaiba island, in japan, there was a “life-size” gundam model built. it stands at 19 meters, or 59 feet tall. it can move its head, it has sound effects, and it lights up at night. this was built for the 30th anniversary of the first mobile suit gundam series.
ponyo on the cliff
the english trailer was released. i’m very impressed and am looking forward to seeing it, honestly. 9/10 times i like the english dub better than the original japanese when it comes to miyazaki films, which NEVER happens concerning dubs for me >o>!!
inuBAKA?!?
just because i’m a fan of the title of this series, i thought i’d mention , that inubaka has a live-action adaptation coming out this fall. that’s it.
beck live action
yes, that’s correct. beck, the manga/anime all about being a super cool rocker, has a live action film coming out, scheduled for fall of 2010. guess who it’s staring? hiro mizushima (absolute boyfriend, anyone?)
kuroshitsuji season 2
has been announced, but no further details.
the vamps to appear @ otakon
this is hyde and k.a.z.’s band (and they’re fucking awesome) and they will be there for a panel & autograph session. yes, as in hyde from l’arc~en~ciel.
eden of the east, two movies?
so the series is over, but there have been two theatrical films announced. eden of the east the movie I: the king of eden will be released november 28, 2009; and eden of the east the movie II: paradise lost will be released january 2010.
new haruhi season!
This is actually Moshi Moshi Meev hijacking this update so I can tell the fanboys about the only anime update they’ve been waiting literally YEARS for, that being the new season of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Yes, it’s finally out. No, I haven’t tried watching, yet. All I know is that now the story’s being continued and Kyoto Animation can make even more money off of all the Haruhi merchandise. … They’ve already gotten my cash with all their cute Nagato figurines. :(

You know, a couple years ago I saw footage of a working 30′ tall gundam, but they cheated and put wheels on the legs. I suppose that it therefore doesn’t count. It’s certainly not as impressive as a moving, 60′ tall gundam.

the giant gundam was enough for a friend to bring up the idea of making the otaku pilramage to japan…. Sadly, we realized that we needed more than two months to plan such a trip….and also more money.
