Another Century’s Episode: R is an mecha game that evokes pretty much every single anime archetype. Perhaps it’s the same sense of thoroughness that perusaded the game makes to be so inclusive that also perusaded them to release so much in-game footage. The following two YouTube videos probably contain enough of Another Century’s Episode: R […]

Wu Xing review – a ninja RPG
One of the last tabletop RPGs I got to play in was White Wolf’s Exalted. I had fun; enjoying the anime influence, a fantasy world that wasn’t derivative of Lord of the Rings and the cinematic martial arts. However, the game wasn’t without its challenges. The power levels of the heroes were so high that […]
Shiny new Gantz trailer
I’ve still not seen the Gantz anime. There always seems something else to buy. I suspect I’ll have to see it before the Gantz movie hits the shores of Scotland – er, um, if it ever makes it this far! So far, on the forums, most of the debate seems to be whether the actress […]
Studio Ghibli RPG: Ninokuni looks impressive
The gameplay trailer for Ninokuni looks really good. Coming to the PS3 in 2011 (at least in Japan) is an RPG that’s been developed by Level-5 and the famous anime creators Studio Ghibli. The RPG follows the young Oliver, from Hotriot after the death of his mother Arie. A magical doll, given as a present, […]
Impressive new TV slot for Avatar: The Last Airbender
I just can’t wait until The Last Airbender makes it over here from the States to the UK (I wonder how long it would take Appa to fly that distance?) There are a few new TV slots for the movie airing on US TV in the next little while. The most recent of which has […]
Looking sharp – Naruto Shippuuden: Ulimated Ninja Storm 2
Okay; so I’m following Naruto by the DVD release schedule here in the UK. Don’t mock me! It means the next disc is the start of Naruto Shippuuden. It’s late. I know the cheeky scamp gets a new costume. Or an old costume with black patches sewn on it. Whereas I worry about spoilers – […]
Yen Plus retires print magazine, announces refunds and goes online
The end has come for Yen Press‘ magazine Yen Plus. Well; one end, a type of end anyway as the publisher is (wisely, perhaps) putting a stop to the print magazine in favour of an online only model. Yen Plus is two years old and has had some success. It was the vehicle by which […]
FUNimation acquires Vampire Girl vs Frankenstein Girl
Gore-fest directors Naoyuki Tomomatsu and Yoshihiro Tomomatsu are behind the live action anime-style Vampire Girl vs Frankenstein Girl that FUNimation acquired the rights to today. The film premiered last year at the NY Asian Film Festival and won the Audience Award. It has since travelled all the way to the Toronto After Dark Film Fetival […]
Sexy Nike Chase anime ad
I’ve never been so interested in trainers! This Nike advert was created by AKQA San Francisco. Here’s the twist; it was created for Nike Japan. That’s right. An American ad company (a London founded, American ad company) is doing anime for the Japanese. This is the director’s cut of the ad and, if you’re interested, […]
New Gantz live action trailer (into the boobies?)
YouTube has a fat new trailer for the Gantz live action movie. I don’t think it shows much except for skillfully matching the actors to their anime selves. It doesn’t give a clue to the script or the violence levels the anime is associated with. We do see the strange sphere. Just one thing – […]
