Back in October I wrote about a 14 year old girl from the Isle of Man – Beckii Cruel – who had won fame by dressing up and dancing along to anime credit music. The glib prediction was that she’d be big in Japan. Since then I can report she’d released a DVD – which […]

Naruto Unleashed series 8:1 review
Fear the spoilers – if you’re not up to 8:1 then don’t read this unless you want spoilers. If you’re beyond 8:1 then don’t give anything away in the comments. I’m a creature of habit. I picked up my Naruto DVD because it was cheap. Now I’ve started to watch the series on DVD that’s […]

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha movie trailer
Following on from the successful TV anime series of Nanoha we’re actually be getting a movie. By “we” I mean “Japan”. Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha: The Movie will be out in Jan 2010. If you’re blessed with the ability to read anime’s native tongue then there’s a dedicated site here.
Anime version of Dante’s Inferno
EA have teamed up with Starz Media’s Film Roman to do an anime version of Dante Alighieri‘s famous poem “Dante’s Inferno”. I’d hope to enjoy this. Despite EA’s presence you’d think that this has all the ingredients you need for a good thing; games plus anime plus hell. I’m just now that wowed by the […]

Witchblade at the AFA ’09 Regional Cosplay Championship
The fantastic Banzai Effect has provided some first class coverage of the AFA ’09 Regional Cosplay Championship. There’s a great collection of photographs of some pretty impressive costumes. To illustrate what I mean here are two Philippines ladies; Alodia and Ashley in Witchblade inspired costumes.
Mini-Skirt Space Pirates
What’s there not to like about that name, huh? Back in March Animenation Blog had the news that Sasamoto Yuuichi’s Mini-skirt Space Pirates would be adapted from novel into anime. Today Saiani (via Anime News Network) help us date it – 2011 and a television run. Unless there’s some trustworthy fan subs it may be […]
Funimation posts odd NekoCon video
Worried you were missing out by missing NekoCon? Fear not. Funimation – the people responsible for so much of the anime I watch (don’t forget the UK guys, don’t forget) have shared a video they made of NekoCon. It looks like every other con I’ve been too. A little bit chaos, empty vending machines, interesting […]
Laugh with Princess Robot Bubblegum
I’m clearly an anime fan and yet I found the Princess Robot Bubblegum spoof funny. It’s here to promote the must-be-a-hit-or-rockstar-dies game Grand Theft Auto but its heavily woven up with Microsoft – sorry everyone else. I’d also note that Princess Robot Bubblegum spoof the genre so well that it could only have been put […]
