I have a lot of things to talk about lately if I can remember to sit down and type it all out. But for now I figured I'd drop a quick note to talk about the Christopher Handley case going on right now, just in case some people aren't aware of it or forgot. We spoke about it a bit on AWO.

Basically, a man in Iowa is in trouble for receiving " ( Read more... )

Via erinfinnegan and ANN, I hear that Del Rey has licensed Moyashimon! It's about damn time. I don't know how this went so long, actually, (it's been running since 2004 and the short anime ended a little while ago) since there's marketing potential for selling about a hojillion cute plush dolls and other toys ( Read more... )

The official Gyakuten Kenji site has been updated! There's now two promo videos up. OMG, finally.

Also, for those interested in such things Canned Dogs has a post up about some readership data on a few Ichijensha magazines like Comic Zero-Sum (Saiyuki RELOAD, Loveless) and Yuri Hime.

Finally, also via Canned Dogs, looks like there'll be a Lucky ( Read more... )

Apparently Microsoft/Xbox 360 fail and fail again. Gee, what a surprise, Microsoft's decision to sell an HDD-less console is coming back to bite them in the ass. The issue of royalties for XBLA hasn't been finalized yet, but I won't be all that surprised if it's true. If it is, we may see a fairly large exodus of developers over to PSN network, ( Read more... )

I finally broke down and picked up a camera. So photos from Janicon 2007 are up!

Oh god. So for a while, especially on the podcast I do, Anime World Order, I've been wishing that someone would release the rest of the Black Jack manga.
