NY Comic Con & Anime Festival 2011: Screenings

5 Comments

At NYCC you can get exclusive toys, play games before they are released, see new trailers, and get some exclusive news of the hottest geek properties, but one of the biggest draws is the ability to see select movies or episodes before anyone else. This year had a good deal of exclusive content just like the years before. I hardly saw all of it but I was glad to get a sneak peek at somethings I was really interested in. There are also some really impressive anime premiers along with the cartoon, movie, and TV sneak previews so the otaku don’t feel left out in a sea of American media nerds.

Premieres have been something that I’ve started associating with New York Comic Con the last couple of years, it is something that really draws me. Between anime, movies, cartoons, and television you could have probably just seen premieres for the bulk of the weekend! While I didn’t get to attend as many as I have in year’s past, I was still pleased with the overall choices.

Fate/Zero TV #004: I’m Too Sexy for this Grail War

The first real fight has started. It is of course interrupted by periods of characters on the side lines discussing the fight, characters in the fight discussing their techniques, characters in the fight analyzing their opponent’s style, and people discussing what everything means all around. But such is any Type-Moon property. Even the mute True Assassin goes into long monologues in his head in the original Fate/Stay Night so character who can talk are going to be pretty darn chatty. Even when Nasu does not write something his love of characters chatting about things bleeds though into everything in the Fate universe. Heck even Fate/Tiger Coliseum is pretty chatty when you get right down to it.

ANN Interviews Minagoroshi no Gen Urobuchi

1 Comment

Anime News Network just posted an interview with the author of the original Fate/Zero novels. Gen Urobuchi is probably recently well known for being the writer behind the anime Puella Magi Madoka Magica and the visual novel Saya no Uta. You might notice that the author of most of the questions is a very familiar face. Me! So I got to totally geek out and ask some real “What are these inconsistencies with U.S.S Enterprise NCC-1701A Deck Plans” style questions. There are also some more general questions for everyone else who don’t instinctually know which Noble Phantasm has the subtitle of the Golden Sword of the Victorious. The answers are mostly short “polite Japanese industry” style answers but I think there as some great insights to be gained. If nothing else I like finding our more about Kinoko Nasu and Takashi Takeuchi as well as Gen Urobuchi.
