Well, well, well. Some of you might have noticed that a certain site is back online[NSFW]. I'm excited. I've got some stuff for reviewin', I've got blah blah. Yep! Good fun. Also, Crysis demo comes out tomorrow. I'll be standing in the internet line at midnight to get my hands on it. Also some jock game is coming out. I think it's called Super Football-Gun and Beer 3. It's a non-stop thrill ride. ROLLUP TIME!
- An anime based on the Hooray For Fish picture books is in the works. It'll be called Suisui! Fizi! and it is set to hit the NHK on October 4th.
- Kimi ga Nozomu Eien's upcoming OVA, Haruka Route, has gone and gotten itself dated. The OVA is due out on the 21st of December. GOOD END?
- Remember that live action Negima abomination? Well, there's a trailer online for it. That's right. 31 flavors of nasty faces. WOO!
- In an effort to stop a wave of axe murdering 14-year-old girls, Japan's broadcasters preempted the broadcast of both Higurashi and School Days episodes. So, to explain, some loopy 14-year-old twat axe murdered her rapist father after she couldn't take the abuse anymore. Therefore, figuring that the episodes of anime might upset people (at 2 and 3 in the morning) they pulled them. Now, beside the fact that anything you watch at 2am, you watch on purpose, is there some writ that says that no one can ever be upset by anything? Moreover, had EVERYONE in Japan recently had an axe murder in the family? If not, why would they be upset about animated violence? I really don't understand this sensitivity bullshit. Especially when it cuts into people's entertainment for no valid reason.
- Tower of Druaga's game and anime sites have been put online. Inventive URLs. Good work, GONZO.
- And if you're like me and can't get enough of 3D CG anime, then you will want to check out the website for Hoshi no Umi no Amuri ~ Amuri in Star Ocean. It's a fully CG sci-fi/action flick OVA thing. You can catch some footage on the site. The first DVD hits on November 13th, the second on February 22nd, and the third on June 27.
And that's it for now. I will be back around later to tell you guys how to do the dance. The dance of the ages. What the fuck am I on about? Jesus, what an idiot.

I believe it was Heisei that ran an article stating that there was an attempted copycat murder. This time the suspect is a 15-year-old boy. Higurashi and School Days could get full DVD releases before Japan sees anything more of them on public television. I can see why stations would do it though. The whole "sensitivity" thing isn't logical, but if the media over there is anywhere near as news-hungry as they are over here…
"A student has gone on a murderous rampage at his high school. Police say he may have been in contact with, and perhaps even OWNED, video games. We will work to confirm as the situation develops."
People love simple answers.
And I swear you were talking about the Star Ocean remake. :( Getting me all hyped like that, raaah.

Yeah, I saw the thing about the copycat murder. Haha. Japan's insane social system is going to keep biting it on the ass if they don't reform it sometime soon. Ah well, who has time to worry about that sort of thing when ANIME IS KILLING BABIES!!!
You're right though, people do love simple answers. That's something we would do well to remedy the world over… but changing people's way of thinking is no easy task… and it's prone to great evil… WHY ISN'T ANYTHING EVER EASY?! Oh… right.

I really didn't imagine that Negima thing did I? And it looks even worse than I expected. Good to see I'm not going crazy though.

No, you didn't imagine it. It's going to be like watching a train wreck. And knowing Japanese audiences, it'll probably get a billion episodes. A BILLION!
