Blassreiter

In a parallel Germany, a sanguine plague is rapidly transforming humans into Amalgams, deformed beings capable of melding with technology and exploiting it to civilization’s detriment. XAT, a special police unit piloting advanced mecha, is supposedly mankind’s only defense. But Joseph Jobson, an Amalgam himself, rises above his disease to prove that humanity is not yet lost. Only the secret of his blood can save the world. 

Soul Eater

At the Grim Reaper’s Death Weapon Meister Academy, students learn the fine art of combating the supernatural forces of evil. And much like the Jedi, these otherworldly warriors travel in pairs: one meister, one weapon. That’s right, one member of this team actually transforms into a deadly tool, and together they’re an unstoppable force. Maka is one of the Academy’s best. Along with Soul, who turns into a slashing scythe, they have one goal in mind: extract the evil souls of ninety-nine humans and one witch in order to turn Soul into a Death Scythe, the ultimate weapon. And with witches, werewolves, and zombies a foot, battles are waiting! Oh, and let’s not forget, this is a school. Hijinks are also lurking behind every book.

Here is the latest on FUNimation titles currently being streamed.

Gundemonium

Yes, Sony and Rockin’ Android are collaborating as we speak to bring you doujin, or Japanese-style indie games, for the PlayStation®Network. Up first, Gundemonium Recollection, GundeadliGne, and Hitogata Happa.

Initial D

In the world of illegal street racing, Takumi is an expert in downhill courses, and his skills are only getting better. Upon joining the project D racing crew, who travel Japan challenging other teams and posting results online, Takumi’s reputation is growing. With each new course, new techniques are born, for Takumi believes he was born to race!

Corpse Princess

Surprisingly, when Makina Hoshimura was murdered she didn’t actually die. Stuck on earth as a living corpse, she’s now one of the shikabane hime charged with hunting down the evil undead. Armed with two submachine guns and the help of a secret society of Buddhist monks, Makina must kill 108 undead souls in order to gain entry into heaven. 

Rob Cook.

Press reports have attendance at about 10,000, which is extremely low, of course. But, as I previously noted, it's resulted in a very appropriate quaintness. You can tell that the people who have come here are very passionate. While one exhibitor lamented the lack of scientific research on display and the commercialization of the event (no need to wait for SIGGRAPH to publish your tech paper), Rob Cook (the recipient of the Steven A. Coons Award) gave what Chris Landreth described as a "spiritual, practical and visionary" speech about "why there still needs to be SIGGRAPH."
