This has nothing to do with anything in this article, but I was looking for other things when I came across some fun Adventure Time art, so here we are.

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.

Narutaki’s picks:
- New Toy Story Short Sneak Peek
As much as I try to keep up on animation news, some things always slip by me! I didn’t even know they were making a Toy Story short, but no matter, it looks great and will surely be another memorable vignette from Pixar.
- Team Bloggers Speak Out
Anti-Social Geniuses ask bloggers about the ups and downs of team blogging. Plus, advice on starting a team blog.
- The Avengers Isn’t Optimistic Just Because It Takes Place During the Day
Great opinion piece on how The Dark Knight and The Avengers take on themes like cynicism and optimism.
- ParaNorman Knows Graphic Design
Had seen these plastered around the city, really looking forward to this movie.
- Subscribe to Your Favorite Toy Lines
This sounds like a great way to go broke, faster than usual for a hardcore toy collector. Still the promises of not having to worry over pre-orders is very attractive.
- Black Jack Coming to American TV?
I believe the live action American Black Jack TV series was called House, but hey I’m down for a sequel! Okay, so it isn’t the return of House as a wandering unlicensed doctor, but it could still be plenty good. Of course if they try to stick closely to the source material Pinoko will be an interesting problem.
Hisui’s picks:
- What the Hey Nonny, Nonny is This? And When Can I Get It?
I thought that the ending of Penguindrum was fairly conclusive. But apparently Kunihiko Ikuhara still has more madness to give us. And I for one can’t wait to see what that is.
- “NEXT TIME, CHIRICO DRINKS HIS COFFEE BLACK, AND IT IS BITTER INDEED.”’
Armored Trooper Votoms is considered by many to be one on the pinnacles of the real robot genre. But Andrew and Arshad look all the side material produced after the original series. And there is quite a bit of material to look at. By looking at the good, the bad, and the ugly they try to decipher why Votoms has not completely faded from the spotlight but at the same time never became a super star series.
- A Massive Attack!
After constant listeners demanded it Chaos Theater has finally released a Mass Effect podcast. They go through all three games and sing its praises alongside addressing its failures. Next time they are looking at Satoshi Kon so I know some of you need to listen to that as well.
