Fucking finally, a trailer that isn't some flash piece of crap. That makes me happy. Oh well, while it's only a 20-second trailer, I'm still happy to see it. It doesn't look too bad. It's for the upcoming anime TV series Negima!? which is based off of the Negima manga but doesn't follow the story and deviates from it readily. I'll submit that the animation looks ok, but that the changes to the character designs are largely unacceptable. They just don't look right anymore and they seem to have lost some, if not all, of the flair that Akamatsu's style and writing provide them. Maybe I'm just a nitpicky bastard, but that's how it feels to me. The show is set to premiere on October 4th.
The YouTubed trailer is up after the jump and you can get the full WMV by going to this link and clicking on the text link there. Big propers to Neko to Negima for hosting it. I also did it up with DailyMotion, can you guys tell me which one you think is better?
September 2006
The official Pokemon movie homepage thingy has announced that a Pokemon (that's Pocket Monsters, kids) Diamond and Pearl movie is in development for release next year in the summer time. Isn't the nice? It reminds me of that one dream I have where like that freaky dinosaur uses its vine thingies to tentacle rape Kasumi while Rokketo-dan, with Kojirou in drag like in episode 17, double end Satoshi in some hot femdom/strap-on action while chanting their little thing, you know…
Musashi: Ginga o kakeru Roketto-dan no futari ni wa!
Kojirou: Howaito hooru, shiroi ashita ga matteruze!
That whole thing. Oh yeah, the movie. Yeah, that's great. What a great idea to do another movie. Ahem.
Well, continuing our romp into the crappy trailer warehouse, I regret to inform you that Ginga Tetsudo: Eien he no Bunkiten has put up a flash trailer for the upcoming TV series on their main page. I honestly thought that we had moved past this horrible looking character design styles. I mean, they all look like they're from the 80s and their outfits are fuck ugly. I mean, apologies if you're a fan, but that shit sucks. The trailer itself is small, short, and mostly pointless, but I am putting it here for you guys, because I love you. Especially the ladies. Rawr. There's also an interview or something on this page.
Well, if you missed the Tokyo Game Show, then you didn't see all the… boring shit that went on there. I swear to god, it was lot some sort of fucking post-E3 slumber party. Everyone was sort of coming with weak sauce and low-cal toppings. Still, that doesn't mean that the games sucked altogether. And with that in mind, I'd like to point you to this MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM Target in Sight flash trailer that Namco Bandai has put online. Look at it… it looks about as exciting as the Gundam anime are… which is not very. I don't know… they could try a little harder. Still, the trailer is 2 minutes and 38 seconds of gameplay, so enjoy if you dig mech battle games or Gundam.
Mai-Otome and HiME fans can rejoice and spray all sorts of alcoholic beverages in the air… God damn, I can be really repetitive, huh? Well, whatever, I'm tired and not feeling well. Deal with it. Anyway, the Mai-Otome Zwei OVA website is up and online. If it isn't obvious to you, like it wasn't to me, click on the little triple screenshot picture or the ">>Enter" link when I managed to not see and that will take you to the full site. The site is broken up into OVA specific sections and sections that share common info between the TV show and the OVA. That's about all I have to say about it. Please enjoy.
Ok, ok. Before you get made it me for alluding to the fact that my DS is a useless pile of shit, know that I tried to love it. I own like 8 games and none of them can hold my interests. Animal Crossing just gets suck after a while, and trying to multiplayer with people is both inconvenient and creepy (Hey, can I come visit your town? "Sure… hsssakakakaka… come to my town"). I mean, what's more dejecting than trading friend codes and then the person not letting you into their town. That's fucked up. Anyway, SNK is bringing the powerful sexy funk with a little pervy game called Doki Doki Majo Saiban. I'm going to have fun and remove context for dokidoki and translate that as Throbbing Witch Judgment. Doki Doki is really the sound of a heart beating rapidly. Ok, anyway, it seems the game revolves around searching the earth for witches in hiding and bringing them out of hiding is as easy as… you know, rubbing them with your stylus. I'm just saying, the shit looks win. Please check out the link above for the pictures, Blog-chan got some good ones. Boobarific. The character designs are awesome, let me say. Anybody got additional info or screens? I mean aside from Dengenki's.
Well, I'm not sure where all of this is coming from, but there are like four different Kekkaishi trailers online for your viewing pleasure. The first comes in the form of a flash trailer on the site's official homepage. You can get at it by clicking the "arasuji" (あらすじ) link on the main page, though it plays when you first hit the site as an opener. Moving on from that there's a 30-second trailer, a 15-second trailer, and another 15-second trailer. They are all primarily using the same footage, but there's a little extra in each of them. I mean, what do you lose? A minute for watching each of them? The show is set to begin airing on October 16th, so mark your… you know… calendars… or whatever.
The three streaming trailers are up after the jump in YouTubey format. Also, the flash trailer is the best of the four, so make sure you watch it.
I was trying to think of ways to make this news piece sound lewd, but I got distracted. I was going to say something like "Do you like women who open up for you? You know… open up EVERYTHING." but it just wasn't working out. That out of the way, Venus Versus Virus's official TBS website is online. A lewd comment would be pretty appropriate, however, because this series is sporting some nice character designs. The character page is still "Coming Soon" which is a bummer. Oh well. The series is set to begin in January, but may slip back a bit.
What a way to end the figure news for the day. Toys Planning has announced a rather nice looking rendition of Nanase Ren from Yakin Byoujou. If you're not familiar with that name, maybe you know it better as Night Shift Nurses. Ah yes, the memories are rushing back now, aren't they? Everyone's favorite violent nurse bondage scat hentai has a well carved and well thought out PVC from Toys Planning. Per the norm, Nanase is on her back, looking a little bit embarrassed, but expectant. At first, she makes you go "Well, what's so damn special about that?" Well, that's where my qualification "well thought out" comes in. Nanase's uniform can be removed. I'm not sure if it can be completely removed, but the top can be pulled apart and the bottom can be pulled up. That's where the next bit of genius comes in. Normally even ero figures would just paint on some nice panties and call it a day, but Toys Planning went the extra mile and added removable panties. Spectacuful. At any rate, she will be out and about in November for 7,140 yen.
Only one picture, sad to tell. My apologies to all. Not really. It's a decent picture.
Now, I don't know about you, but I have TONS (or tonnes, if you're into that) of D3 Productions hentai around my house. TONS. And games and figures. Yep. Ok, I made that up. I have none. But, in the interest of science, let's all consider this recently announced Morimoto Leona figure from the D3 production Discipline. Leona isn't the most well sculpted figure I've come across, but I am sure she will strike a chord with her intended audience. Leona is sporting a black dominatrix-ish bikini-thing and a riding crop. She's in a sort of squatting pose which, depending on what she is on top of, could take on a myriad of meanings or suggestions. On top of the included chair accessory, for example, she seems to be sitting with her legs spread. On top of the included pant-less girl who is on her hands and knees, it takes on a slightly different air. Certainly, your friendly ero figure collector will be happy to have this in his collection. He will pay though. This 180mm tall vixen will be out in December for 18,690 yen.
Plenty of… well, she's clothed… so sort of work-safe pictures after the jump. Including one with the slave girl. YAY! And before you ask; No, her top looks to be carved in and isn't removable.
