narutaki_icon_4040 Both U.S. and Japanese manga companies are bringin’ it! Way to step it up in the digital age! I’m very excited to try all these new titles.

Also whoa a ton of new anime and manga announcement from Japan this month, I thought they would never end!

hisui_icon_4040 I have to say that Crunchyroll’s manga selection is really growing quite nicely. Any time we have desire to see a particular genre of manga on the site they tend to add it quickly thereafter.

The Line-Up is a monthly rundown of new anime, manga, light novel, artbook licenses, streaming/broadcasting announcements, crowdfunding projects, anime/manga projects, and live-action anime/manga adaptions.

Drink #051: Upside-down Pineapple
March Movie Madness

Unlike all the other East Coast anime fans, we didn’t head to Anime Boston this month. Instead, we talk about all the movies we saw during March. Okay, yeah, fine we couldn’t come up with a real, all encompassing topic, okay? But hey, you get two anime movie reviews (Patema Inverted and Giovanni’s Island both of which played at the NYICFF) and our thoughts on the Veronica Mars movie (have we ever sounded this ridiculously happy in a podcast before?).

And now your helpful bartenders at The Speakeasy present your drink:

Upside-down Pineapple

  • 1/2 oz. Vodka, vanilla
  • 1/4 oz. Grenadine
  • 1 oz. Pineapple Juice

Shake vanilla vodka and pineapple juice with ice and strain into shot glass. Add grenadine. The grenadine will sink to the bottom and will give this shot a very sweet conclusion.

hisui_icon_4040 Alain’s picks:

  • Pineapple is only Deadly in Salad Form
    Andrew of the Veef Show looks at Anime Boston 2014. The focus of the report is on JAM Project but do you really expect anything else?
  • Can Game Reviews be Saved?
    Obviously the answer yes. The question is how.
  • Come to the Swap Meet
    Extra Credits has added a new weekly overlooked games show. They are not necessarily the best games every week but they are games worth thinking about. The first pick is The Swapper.
  • Who Still Watches the Watchmen?
    Chaos Theater looks at the various iterations of Alan Moore’s Watchmen. Also some talk about the final chapter of The Walking Dead Ep 5: No Time Left.
  • Heaven or Hell? Let’s Rock!
    All Geeks Considered look at two films set in space. I will let you find out which is paradise and which is the inferno.
