When do We Get a Juri Figure?
A nice first look at the prototype G.E.M. Utena Tenjou figure from Megahouse. It looks like a must buy if the coloring is even half decent.
Who Wants to Live Forever?
What Isaac Asimov’s robot series of books say about today beyond just the relation between robots and humans.
So a Magic: The Gathering Musical Exists
And it has puppets. That is the Internet for you.
Another Question the Internet Likes to Pointlessly Debate
Simply: What is a game?
The Anime that Never Was
Two anime that got a good deal of concept art but never got off the ground.
- Escape from New York: The Anime
- Hayao Miyazaki’s Pippi Longstocking

Pledges Still Count Double Today
Head on over to AnimeSols if you haven’t already and you’re money will go twice as far! Dear Brother Part 2 was funded in record time but you can still get in on the action.
This Tumblr Is Only Nerdy T-shirt Designs
Therefore it might be one of the more dangerous ones that I am following, and yet I am doing it anyway.

They could also make us a Nanami figure:

McMario
The ultimate team-up: McDonald’s putting Mario toys in Happy Meals.
Final Fantasy: Disney Damsels
Nice looking roster, I think we need a Final Fantasy Tactics game with Disney characters, don’t you?
Help the Creator of Fresh Guacamole
I hope you’ve seen this Oscar-nominated short, it not check it out now! The creator is hoping to fund his next film through their online store. The next short will also feature creative food!

It’s Dr. Who Related
At this point your either going to click it immediately or banish it from your sight instantly. I don’t really need to say much else. Also it is from the Idea Channel. So the same reaction applies. (Also this.)
That is a Lot of New Persona
I mean seriously. That is a good deal of announcements.
Another Thing to Delay Berserk Chapters
Like the THE iDOLM@STER was not enough on its own. Kentaro Miura is now working on a sci-fi manga as well. Hopefully this will recharge is batteries for his other manga.
MAHQ 1-2 Punch
Two very different podcasts from Chris Guanche.
- The Sei’s Hot Mom Podcast: A look at the first five episodes of Gundam Build Fighters plus an interview the American voice actors Matt Hill & Sam Vincent.
- A Cold and Dark Podcast: Chaos Theater in-turn looks at Thor: The Dark World & gets in an early review of Disney’s Frozen.
Professional Fan Art Round Up
Some of this was commissioned art (so it’s not really fan art per say) but it is all drawings by professionals of other people’s characters.

Because I laughed.

Musical Stockholm Syndrome
A look at how pop music worms its way into our brains. As someone who used to know a woman who would play the same song on loop for HOURS to get it out of her head this video has a “special” place in my heart.
You could extend this thought exercise to anime openings and closings too if you wanted to.
The Hidden Treasure Trove of Great Female Characters in Games
There is a little thought about genre that has a metric ton of good to great female characters. Also how we might be asking the wrong questions when we ask why medium X can’t make good female characters. There are not a lot of answers here but a look of good places to start thinking differently.
One Lucky Frog
As someone who has always been a fan of Mine Yoshizaki’s art this picture of Rinko Iori, Aki Hinata, and Keroro is a real treat.

Patema Inverted Coming to U.S. Theaters
You know! The new film from the Time of Eve creator!
Readings From a Mad Woman
Allie Brosh, creator of Hyperbole and a Half, reads from her acclaim-laden book. She then answers various questions from the audience like “What do you call that cone shape on your characters head?”
Link Helps Typhoon Haiyan Victims

I decided to go with an original design from Mine Yoshizaki this time:
