Naruto

Well, one might say that a shadow clone technique has been released. Naruto seems to be everywhere!

Nabari

The warring states period and the age of the samurai may have ended long ago, but the ninja are alive and kicking, working in the shadows. They call their world “Nabari.” And the men and women of Iga are at war amongst themselves to control it. Unfortunately, all hope rests with Miharu Rokujou, a teenager more interested in running a restaurant than the fact that a secret art, one containing all ninja knowledge, resides inside him. 

Ikkitousen

It’s official. New Ikkitousen anime is in production.  

Nana Box Set 2

Based on the widely popular shojo manga by Ai Yazawa, Nana spirals from the sudden relationship sparked between two young women on a Tokyo bound train. One is a J-punk rocker, whose torn jeans and short skirts are seductively edgy.  For her, the train is pulling into that glorified station of Tokyo’s music scene. The other is far more suburb; her well-ironed seams betray soccer mom dreams. For her, Tokyo is a seemingly perfect boyfriend and that eventual and all-important house. Despite their differences, both share the same name: Nana.

Otsuka

In conjunction with the Japan Society’s spring exhibition Graphic Heroes, Magic Monsters: Japanese Prints by Utagawa Kuniyoshi from the Arthur R. Miller Collection, the Japan Society (NYC) has named visual artist and professional illustrator Hiroki Otsuka as its official mangaka. As an artist-in-residence, Otsuka will create an original manga inspired by the work of Kuniyoshi. He will also be conducting illustration workshops open to the general public.

Dragon Ball Z Kai

Yes, the evil Saiyans have (re)returned to Earth to satisfy their appetite for destruction. But if Goku, the world’s greatest fighter, has his say, these aliens will be sent home with a foot squarely lodged between their cheeks. Nevertheless, Raditz, the first alien, proves to be tougher than anticipated, forcing Goku into an unlikely alliance with his Earthly rival Piccolo. Together they achieve victory, but pay the ultimate price. Goku not only finds death, but other Saiyans are now on their way. 

Gundemonium

I previously gave you the blurb on PSN’s forthcoming release of Doujin games. Well, the Gundemonium Collection is now available!

Hetalia

Adapted from the webcomic of Hidekaz Himaruya, World War II Europe never looked so…cute??? No, there are no geographical boarders, or armies, or even the dogs of war. Instead, countries such as Italy, France, England, Japan, Germany, and America appear as personified characters.  And the politics and conflicts of the 40’s are revised through the lens of comedy and innuendo.  

Evangelion 2.0

Here is a list dates and places on which you can see Evangelion 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance on the big screen.

It's standing room only at GDC.

The Game Developer Conference, also known as GDC, is the end-all be-all event of the year for game developers. You’ll find no fan-boys here! Once a year thousands of developers, students, and press descend upon Moscone Center in San Francisco for a weeklong chance to network, learn, and most importantly, play.
