Narutaki’s picks:
- The End is Near (for Google Reader)
Finally the time has come (well in July anyway), over the last couple of years there has been plenty of rumors about the demise of Google Reader but each time, somehow, it didn’t happen until now. This has of course sent tech sites and the like into a freenzy of writing about alternatives. Right now, I’m testing out The Old Reader which is in beta and I’m not the only one as my queue for importing my subscriptions was 20,794 people long.
- New Mickey Mouse Shorts
Disney has started producing new animated shorts starring Mickey. I enjoyed the style of this romp in Paris but I didn’t find it that funny nor did I feel Mickey’s personality shown through. Still, I’m really glad Disney has reinvested into short animation, especially those featuring their classic characters.
Hisui’s picks:
- And Justice For All
Details are starting to emerge about the latest Ace Attorney game. Apparently Phoenix Wright will return to the position of protagonist but they have not throw Apollo Justice is a major fit of retcon. I mostly just hope they bring back Maya Fey. I miss her.
But the real question is when are we getting Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney in English?
- Return of Demon King
The first real Disgaea sequel has come along. I would play those games more but they demand so much time to even scratch the surface on one of them.
- Pluto is no Longer a Planet but Mars Gets a Movie
Well that Kickstarer took very little time to make all sorts of records.
As the Reverse Thieves we of course loved Veronica Mars. So the idea that the series could get a proper ending with a movie was an amazing dream. Apparently it was a desire that a lot of people had. So the question at this point is how big will it get before it closes. I’m curious to see.
- 42
Douglas Adams will be missed. Here is the Google Doodle they put on on his birthday if you missed it.
I’m always happy to see more Mickey.

Hisui’s picks:
- Gemini Sunrise News Update
Lo and behold the talk about Project X Zone being ported over to North American was not merely hot air. They have one guaranteed sale from me. If you need to know if you should be interested in the game I think the opening it the best sales pitch your ever going to get. I’m just happy to get more Sakura Wars even if it is in a diluted form. Now if I could just get more Galaxy Angel in cross over games.
- All I Ask is Someone in Tokyo Do a Write Up in English
There is a wonderful Kunihiko Ikuhara exhibit in Ikebukuro from March 20th through 25th. It will be filled with Revolutionary Girl Utena and Penguindrum material and therefore is instantly awesome. But I am serious when I say someone needs to go there and do a serious report on what they see.
- The Resurrection of the Technocracy
I forgot to mentioned the planned release of a Mage: the Ascension 20th Anniversary book. I eagerly look forward to that as the person who last borrowed my 2nd edition Mage: the Ascension never gave that back. I’m curious to see what they cherry pick from previous version to place in this book.
- And You Though Vietnam Was a Quagmire
The Veef Show tackles on of the trickiest and most loaded subjects that anyone one into robot cartoons could ever touch upon: Transformers and their toys. It is an interesting look into a fandom that I only know by its … checkered reputation.
- If You Believed They Put a Man on the Moon
A very informative little video by an expert on video editing that proves that the technology to fake the moon landing did not exists at the time. It is funny to think it was easier to go into space than it was to fake it.
Narutaki’s picks:
- Star Wars VII is Like REALLY HAPPENING
Sure Disney said they were doing this, but with a director on board it feels like much more of a reality! J. J. Abrams sounds like a solid choice to me.
- HD Wind Waker
We aren’t totally sure about the details yet, but it still sounds amazing! And now I’m wondering if they’ll be releasing HD versions of others in the back catalog, could be pretty cool. I’m not much a current gamer so it is unclear if I’ll invest in WiiU despite this cool news.
- Sundance Screens Unauthorized Movie Filmed at Disney World
From the reports of the film, I don’t think I’d actually like it but the unauthorized production makes me curious about it. Though it sounds like it may never be released, ever, outside film festivals.
- The Good Ole Disney Renaissance
This is a good read though I don’t agree with his final conclusions about Disney animation. His complaints about live action remakes of fairy tales isn’t wrong, but he overlooks The Princess and the Frog as well as the upcoming animated version of Frozen. And Disney is still a leader in creating animation techniques from the hair in Rapunzel to the combination of hand drawn over top CG in Paperman, they are creating plenty of modern magic.

Hisui’s picks:
Narutaki’s picks:
- Dave’s Japan Adventure
Dave Cabrera (of Astro Toy for ANN) recounts his recent trip to Japan. From helpful tips to the best anime goods spots to Mahjong to Comiket, it is a wild ride as expected.
- Professor Layton is Now a Chocolatey Snack
Maybe these will show up at some conventions or on J-list?
- The Disney Games That Almost Were
The most interesting one is a fighting game along the lines of Smash Bros., it is really a tragedy!
- Visit Berserk Castle, Hope You Don’t Die
My first reaction to this castle was “awesome, I gotta try to go!” But the more I thought about it, visiting Berserk sites sounds terrifying! Still, as I’m trying to make my way to Paris this year, I’m gonna look into it.
Everyone loves cute kissing pictures:

Narutaki’s picks:
Hisui’s picks:
- Organized Chaos
- 36: Coincidentally just as Narutaki was talking about Bill Willingham’s Fables series on the Ani-Gamers podcast it seems that Chaos Theater had the same idea. WARNING: The Chaos Theater podcast is filled with major spoilers.
- 37: A look at the films of Hayao Miyazaki. An examination of the good, the great, and the could have been better of his career. I think some of their opinions might be a little outside the norm but that is always interesting in of itself.
- It Has to be Better than James Bond Jr.
It has to? Right? A new otome game called British Detective Mysteria has a Victorian setting and a dashing young Sherlock Holes Jr. and Watson Jr. It might be interesting if it gets turned into an anime. It looks super cheesy but that never rules out being fun.
- No Khal Drogo vs. Legolas?
In classic Superman vs. the Flash fashion they ask George R.R. Martin who would win in a fight between some of his characters and Lord of the Rings characters. The nerd gloves come off.
- Type-Moon News Round Up
- A Deluge of News: Crunchyroll has news about Fate/EXTRA CCC, Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya, and new Fate/Zero figure all in one article.
- Double Tapping the News: Silicon Era goes a little more in-depth about the new Fate/EXTRA CCC news.
- Waiting is the Hardest Part: Aniplex is delaying the DVD release of the Garden of Sinners movies for a better release. At those prices they better do that.
- Gilgamesh’s Zugzwang: More awesome Fate/Zero chess pieces.
Can’t resist more Trigun.
