June 8, 2006 – <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=4285">IMAGI</a></cite> Animation Studios, in association with <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=591">Tatsunoko Production</a></cite> of Japan, will produce a new CG-animated feature-length motion picture for theatrical release based on the long-running anime <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=70">franchise</a></cite> <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=4">Gatchaman</a></cite>. The new film will be written and directed by <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=67640">Kevin Munroe</a></cite>, who is currently writing and directing <cite class="e company">IMAGI</cite>'s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles CG-animation that is being distributed by <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=304">Warner Bros.</a></cite> in the U.S. and <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=7342">The Weinstein Company</a></cite> internationally. The announcement was made today by <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=44984">Francis Kao</a></cite>, CEO and Vice Chairman of <cite class="e company">IMAGI</cite> International.<br>
<br>
“We will push the wow factor to a new level with <cite class="e anime">Gatchaman</cite>, a groundbreaking anime that has devoted fans worldwide, including myself,” Kao said. “With the visual impact available through state-of-the-art CG animation, I think the film not only can satisfy fans, but will also appeal to moviegoers looking for something new and exciting. I am thrilled to work on this excellent <cite class="e lexicon">franchise</cite> with <cite class="e company">Tatsunoko</cite>.”<br>
<br>
<cite class="e anime">Gatchaman</cite> centers around five young superhero ninjas who must defeat the nefarious terrorists known as Galactor, who are threatening to capture Earth's resources. With 205 TV episodes, one feature film, and three direct-to-video films, <cite class="e anime">Gatchaman</cite> has over 30 years of history. In addition to its success in Japan, the series has fans in the U.S. from various domestic re-edited versions of the show, including “Battle of the Planets,” “<cite class="e anime">G-Force</cite>,” and “Eagle Riders.”<br>
<br>
“Growing up as a kid, <cite class="e anime">Gatchaman</cite> was the first influence that pushed me into the world of animation, comics and writing,” Munroe said. “I'm honored to get the chance to bring <cite class="e anime">Gatchaman</cite> to the big screen the way it was always meant to be - huge action mixed with the real human drama. <cite class="e anime">Gatchaman</cite> is a great next step after TMNT, in terms of storytelling and visual scope and also for <cite class="e company">IMAGI</cite> as a player in the animation world.”

<p style="clear:right"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" class="fright lazyload" width="300" height="169" border="1" data-src="/thumbnails/max300x600/cms/episode-review.3/170195/rezero.jpg">Before I dive into this week's review (heh), allow me to issue a correction for something I wrote last week: I thought that Garfiel deflected Elsa with his abs, but it's actually because of his shield bracers. The former would have been funnier, but alas my wishful thinking did not pan out. </p>
<p>Unfortunately, the production issues are definitely catching up with the show now that it's reaching an action climax. This episode juggled multiple battles while only showing the bare minimum of action required to establish what the characters are doing: First, we had Garfiel's fight with Elsa, then Subaru et al's showdown with the mabeasts. We also get a very brief glimpse of Ram and Puck's confrontation with Roswaal during a conversation with Emilia later in the episode. Of the three, Garfiel's sequences looked the best, but there was a distinct feeling of brevity about it. As for the mabeasts, they're depicted with almost comical 3D designs, so that bit wasn't much to write home about. At least Emilia's introspective second trial got the justice it deserved, but it definitely felt like a compromise born out of the production reality more than a choice that was necessarily best for the narrative flow. </p>
<p>For what it's worth, I did enjoy how the anime depicted Emilia's second trial. It portrays an "unthinkable present" in the form of a hypothetical reality where Fortuna and Geuse are still alive. Emilia's first trial might have been my least favorite part of the season so far, but despite retreading similar ground, the focus of the second trial is firmly on Emilia's character development. The moment when she rejects the unthinkable present to embrace who she is now is a standard beat in this kind of storyline, but it was satisfying nevertheless. Overall, I have mixed feelings about how Emilia's past was handled, but at least that subplot ended on its best foot.</p>
<p>Visually, this was also the most interesting part of the episode. There are a handful of moments that stand out, like when Emilia faces her reflection in the water by literally diving into it, an action layered with symbolism. It affirms that Emilia literally hasn't been able to face herself up until this point. I also liked how Echidna was depicted in this episode: at first standing behind Emilia in a relatively higher position, only for her torn and helpless expression to come into view. When she speaks of how she detests Emilia, it's the first time I felt true emotion from the enigmatic witch.</p>
<p>The episode ends with Emilia poised to take her third trial: "The disaster that is yet to come." In the first <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=123">cour</a></cite>, we saw Subaru take on the first two trials, but this one, which seems to be concerned with the future, will cover completely uncharted territory. Go get 'em, EMT!</p>

In the romantic comedy genre, a series is only as strong as its female leads. The success or failure of a series often hinges on the creators' abilities to make fun, attractive, desirable, and memorable female characters. Those series that do get this right often find their characters entering into the collective consciousness of fandom, such as <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=1608">Oh My Goddess!</a></cite>'s Belldandy or <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=357">Chobits</a></cite>'s Chii.<br>
<br>
Of course, every so often there's that rare series that manages to succeed with all of its female leads—<cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=919">Tenchi Muyo!</a></cite> being one of them. It didn't just hit the spot with one of its lovable gals, but all five amazing ladies. From sultry <a href="#Ryoko">Ryoko</a>, to regal <a href="#Ayeka">Ayeka</a>, to the witty <a href="#Washu">Washu</a>, adorable <a href="#Sasami">Sasami</a>, and naive <a href="#Mihoshi">Mihoshi</a>, the core cast of women in the <cite class="e anime">Tenchi</cite> OAVs has become a lasting presence in anime.<br>
<br>
Of course, there has to be a reason why these lovely gals so naturally find a spot in everyone's heart. After much research and in-depth consultations with our panel of experts, we believe that we've cracked the case on why they're so popular and what makes them so incredibly appealing. Here's a look at their personalities, what makes them tick, why they act the way they do, and of course, how they feel about our (un?)lucky hero <cite class="e anime">Tenchi</cite>.<br>
<table><tbody>

<a name="Ryoko"></a><img src="/img/spacer.gif" class="fleft lazyload" width="200" height="243" border="1" data-src="/thumbnails/max300x600/FEATURE/216/TG_Ryoko.jpg"><br>
<b>Ryoko <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=230913">Hakubi</a></cite> </b><ul>
<li>
<b>Occupation:</b> Space Pirate<br>
</li>
<li>
<b>Age:</b> Over 2,000 (exact number not known)<br>
</li>
<li>
<b>Height:</b> 5'6"<br>
</li>
<li>
<b>Measurements:</b> 31-21-32</li>
</ul>
<br>
Ahh, Ryoko, easily spottable by her wild mane of cyan hair and golden, feline-esque eyes. As the first girl in the series, both chronologically and star power-wise, Ryoko is a good-hearted <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=28797">Bad Girl</a></cite>, a lot like <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=90">Urusei Yatsura</a></cite>'s Lum, who has often been called her predecessor. While her exact origins are a little confusing (we know that she is Washu's daughter and that she was created by combining the genetic structure of “mass” with Washu's egg cells), it's her introduction into the series that gets our attention. Having being cooped up in a cave for 700 years after ransacking <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=272981">Jurai</a></cite>, Ryoko comes out swinging at our boy hero just to “let out her anger.”<br>
<br>
However, what quickly becomes apparent is that Ryoko is no violent criminal. As the series goes on, we find that she is a shameless flirt, a heavy drinker, a bit of a slacker, a little vulgar at times, and incredibly impulsive... but no criminal. Instead, she's a victim of the supervillain Kagato, who had been controlling her as his pawn.<br>
<br>
What's well done about Ryoko is her superb dual nature. Out in the open, particularly where her rival Ayeka can see, she's boastful and extroverted, flinging herself at <cite class="e anime">Tenchi</cite> with aplomb. But there's a vulnerability to her character as well. As strong and powerful a pirate as she is, her real desire and her real strength is in the boy she'd watched grow up outside her cave. In one of Ryoko's most telling moments, she explains to Ayeka her feelings about watching <cite class="e anime">Tenchi</cite> grow up, saying, "I'd always hoped we'd get to play together." With this one little turn of phrase, she explains away her destructive, but ultimately harmless, attack and her rambunctious antics. To her, she's making up for the seventeen years she didn't get to play with him.<br>
<br>
It's never questioned that Ryoko adores <cite class="e anime">Tenchi</cite> and is very possessive of him. Though she calls him "<a></a>Darling" at every corner, it's when that bond is threatened that she shows just how deep the connection is. She calls him "the one most precious to me" when she believes him to be dead and announces a suicidal desire for vengeance. If not love - and it's highly doubtful it isn't - Ryoko has an admirable loyalty to <cite class="e anime">Tenchi</cite> that roots her to his side...<br>
<br>
...that is, when she's not pouncing on top of him.<br>

<a name="Ayeka"></a><img src="/img/spacer.gif" class="fleft lazyload" width="200" height="252" border="1" data-src="/thumbnails/max300x600/FEATURE/216/TG_Ayeka.jpg"><br>
<b>Ayeka <cite class="e person">Jurai</cite></b><br>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Occupation:</b> First <a></a>Princess of the Planet <cite class="e person">Jurai</cite><br>
</li>
<li>
<b>Age:</b> A bit over 700<br>
</li>
<li>
<b>Height:</b> 5'6"<br>
</li>
<li>
<b>Measurements:</b> Not proper for a Princess to discuss. </li>
</ul>
<br>
Not introduced until the second episode, Ayeka is cast as Ryoko's opposite. Where Ryoko is brash, Ayeka is demure. Where Ryoko is provocative, Ayeka is innocent.......<br>
<br>
.... and if you actually believe this typecasting, I also have a bridge to sell you.<br>
<br>
In reality, Ayeka has as much of a dual nature as Ryoko, but plays the other side of the coin. She can be (and quite often is) as bold, petty, and juvenile as Ryoko, but is more frequently the sweet, reserved, and shy person we're meant to see. Just as Ryoko is only shy and reserved in private (for instance, when wearing <cite class="e anime">Tenchi</cite>'s mother's kimono), Ayeka is only brash and bold in private.<br>
<br>
The best example of this, oddly enough, is when she's alone with Ryoko in the bathhouse. After Ryoko relates her feelings about <cite class="e anime">Tenchi</cite>, Ayeka takes the oppurtunity to mercilessly taunt Ryoko about her age and brag about her own beauty. It's not a shining moment for the princess, but quite crucial to understanding her character.<br>
<br>
Ayeka is hardly all snide and snobby though. In fact, as much as she bickers with Ryoko, disapproves of Mihoshi, and bosses Sasami, she proves time and time again that they are quite dear to her. Even more dear to her is <cite class="e anime">Tenchi</cite>. In the beginning of the series, her fondness for him seems connected to her longing for her half-brother Yosho. But, as time within the series passes, it becomes clear that she admires him and his simpler lifestyle. With every passing moment on Earth, we see Ayeka become less concerned with royalty. She enjoys being a part of the family, and loves the casual freedom it affords her.<br>
<br>
To Ayeka, <cite class="e anime">Tenchi</cite> and the girls represents a freedom not allowed to princesses, and as such, she cherishes them for it.<br>

<a name="Sasami"></a><img src="/img/spacer.gif" class="fleft lazyload" width="200" height="249" border="1" data-src="/thumbnails/max300x600/FEATURE/216/TG_Sasami.jpg"><br>
<b>Sasami <cite class="e person">Jurai</cite></b><br>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Occupation:</b> Second Princess of the Planet <cite class="e person">Jurai</cite><br>
</li>
<li>
<b>Age:</b> Not quite as far over 700 as Ayeka.<br>
</li>
<li>
<b>Height:</b> 4'0"<br>
</li>
<li>
<b>Measurements:</b> Not of consequence at this point in time.</li>
</ul>
<br>
<br>
Sasami is cute. Really cute. You really couldn't imagine how cute she is. I mean, seriously, you can think of the ten cutest things you've ever thought, and that's just peanuts to Sasami.<br>
<br>
<cite class="e person">Jurai</cite>'s second princess is one of the <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=70">franchise</a></cite>'s most endearing characters. Though the "youngest" of the girls, she proves surprisingly mature and well-equipped to handle the various ups and downs of household life. What's most interesting is Sasami's role in the household. She quickly adopts an almost maternal position: cooking, cleaning, and looking after everyone else's well-being. It's a role that, as a young princess, she'd have little exposure to. However, it's one she performs admirably.<br>
<br>
Sasami is also a very friendly and playful girl, and while she's mature for her age, she's still a young girl. Right from the start, she befriends <cite class="e anime">Tenchi</cite> (a stranger) and Ryoko (an enemy of her sister's). It's this irrepressible goodness that makes her such a fun and sweet character, and has kept her popular even during times when the show's star had faded.<br>
<br>
It's often debated as to whether or not Sasami is actually in love with <cite class="e anime">Tenchi</cite>. There's a definite affection between them, but it's always seemed more familial than romantic. Perhaps the answer is this simple: <cite class="e anime">Tenchi</cite> has no siblings, and Sasami's siblings are both much older than her, and caught up in political nonsense. As such, neither has ever truly been with siblings, and so there's a certain idyllic feel to their relationship. It's simple, it's cute, and it's perfectly Sasami.<br>

<a name="Mihoshi"></a><img src="/img/spacer.gif" class="fleft lazyload" width="200" height="282" border="1" data-src="/thumbnails/max300x600/FEATURE/216/TG_Mihoshi.jpg"><br>
<b>Mihoshi Kuramitsu</b><br>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Occupation:</b> Galaxy Police Detective First Class<br>
</li>
<li>
<b>Age:</b> 23<br>
</li>
<li>
<b>Height:</b> 5'6"<br>
</li>
<li>
<b>Measurements:</b> 33-22-34</li>
</ul>
<br>
Mihoshi is a polarizing character for most <cite class="e anime">Tenchi Muyo!</cite> fans. Some adore her spirit and demeanor, others abhor her inattentiveness and clumsiness. Some find her a fun and lovable addition to the cast, others regard her as excess or simply an excuse to have a well-racked blonde in the mix.<br>
<br>
But, idiosyncracies aside, few would find the series improved without the eternally optimisitic officer. From the moment she "falls from the land of stars" - a fun play on her name, which actually means "beautiful star", it becomes clear that she's just a good natured girl who wants to make those around her happy.<br>
<br>
Where Mihoshi makes her presence known is whenever unhappiness is rearing its ugly head. When Ryoko and Ayeka begin to bicker, Mihoshi is there to try and stop the fighting. When <cite class="e anime">Tenchi</cite> needs a hand with chores, Mihoshi's there to pick up as much slack as she can. In fact, if anything, she proves to be infinitely capable at household work (perhaps moreso than at police work).<br>
<br>
Blonde and bubbly, Mihoshi is the "regular girl" of the <a></a>Masaki household. With only elven ears (and a pair of fairly pointed canines) to separate her from human, she becomes a fast friend to <cite class="e anime">Tenchi</cite> and sets him more at ease. ... Of course one could imagine anyone not punching through staircases, summoning monsters, or commanding vine spewing logs would set him at ease.<br>
<br>
As far as Mihoshi's interest in <cite class="e anime">Tenchi</cite>, it's definitely clear that she's very fond of him. She states that from the moment she saw him; she felt he was her destiny, and is overwhelmed by emotion (even for Mihoshi) when she believes she has to leave the house permanently. Even though she's not nearly as aggressive as the other girls in the house (though I also know of rabid mongooses less aggressive than Ryoko and Ayeka) there's a sense that she truly loves <cite class="e anime">Tenchi</cite> and would do anything for him ... Just no guarantees on how well she'll do it.<br>

<a name="Washu"></a><img src="/img/spacer.gif" class="fleft lazyload" width="200" height="252" border="1" data-src="/thumbnails/max300x600/FEATURE/216/TG_Washu.jpg"><br>
<b>Washu <cite class="e person">Hakubi</cite></b><br>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Occupation:</b> Scientist<br>
</li>
<li>
<b>Age:</b> Indeterminate<br>
</li>
<li>
<b>Height:</b> 4'4"<br>
</li>
<li>
<b>Measurements:</b> vary (see episode 8)</li>
</ul>
<br>
Washu is a scientist, a mother, and an inventor. After those three definites, all bets are really off when discussing the petite red-head. Between maternal trauma and youthful zeal, the self-proclamied greatest genius in the universe is a delightfully madcap character. She's a bit manipulative (as evident by how she manages Zero) and more than a little vain, but is also very wise and sensitive to those around her.<br>
<br>
What is most striking about Washu's character is how much she truly relishes her maternal side. Watching the episode "Here Comes Baby" is one long Washu character study, and in it she shines as a surrogate mother to <cite class="e anime">Tenchi</cite>'s cousin Taro. It's no small wonder then, why she - in her own cheeky way - wants to strengthen the mother/daughter bond between herself and Ryoko.<br>
<br>
Another significant (and interesting) bond Washu has is with Mihoshi. Once again, we see a very motherly attitude out of Washu in regards to the blonde detective. She's at once proud of, and exasperated with Mihoshi's actions, just as any tried mother would be. But it's statements like "She's a genius" and "I actually think Mihoshi would handle them all" that really show how fond Washu is of the girl. So even when a little chaos goes off in the lab, Washu truly does appreciate her ersatz daughter.<br>
<br>
Though, if you truly want to see her appreciate someone, look no further than <cite class="e anime">Tenchi</cite>. She remains highly grateful to him for freeing both her, and her daughter, from Kagato's control, and maintains a high level of respect for him. She admits to being fascinated (and excited) by him, but there's not a particularly large amount of romantic interest from the scientist.<br>
<br>
Or perhaps she's just making room for her daughter, as a loving mother would.<br>

<br>
will.i.am has released the uplifting track "#SING4LIFE" on his <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=8245">YouTube</a></cite> channel, created with fellow musicians Bono, Jennifer Hudson, and <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=139955">YOSHIKI</a></cite>.<br>
<br>
#SING4LIFE" is based on a song written by Bono, who was impressed by the citizens of Italy singing together from their rooftops and balconies while isolated due to COVID-19.<br>
<br>
#SING4LIFE - featuring Bono, will.i.am, Jennifer Hudson and <cite class="e person">YOSHIKI</cite><br>
<br>
https://youtu.be/lz-DoaHi3zo<br>
<br>
As soon as Bono wrote this song, he uploaded a solo version to U2's Instagram, and collaborated with will.i.am, who turned to his longtime friends <cite class="e person">YOSHIKI</cite> and Jennifer Hudson to complete the track.<br>
<br>
<cite class="e person">YOSHIKI</cite> accepted the offer and wrote the score immediately, completing the piano recording two hours later. "#SING4LIFE" was created by the four artists from their separate locations across the globe through their communication via internet.<br>
<br>
will.i.am described the song's mission on Instagram: "When you see empty streets...The empty streets shouldn't make you feel depressed or afraid...When you see empty streets during these times, try to feel love...The empty streets is a sign that humanity is doing the right thing..."<br>
<br>
will.i.am also thanked his collaborators: "Thank you #BONO @U2 for kicking this off and writing a beautiful song... thank you @iamjhud and @yoshikiofficial for lending your talents and massive hearts..."<br>
<br>
<cite class="e person">YOSHIKI</cite> added his own message to fans on Instagram: "I know you are trying hard to restrain yourself to fight against this virus. I believe that your effort... everyone's effort, will affect the entire human race. We will overcome, we can do this together. I'm praying for your health and safety."<br>
<br>

<br>
<cite class="e person">YOSHIKI</cite> – composer, classically-trained pianist, rock drummer, and the leader of the rock group <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=5764">X JAPAN</a></cite> – decided to stay in his Los Angeles home during the current outbreak instead of returning to Japan. He has been one of the artists on the forefront of aiding international communication about the coronavirus.<br>
<br>
Last week, <cite class="e person">YOSHIKI</cite> hosted a conversation with Nobel Laureate Shinya Yamanaka (Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine and director of the Center for iPS Cell Research) to discuss worldwide health concerns. The video was streamed worldwide on <cite class="e person">YOSHIKI</cite> Channel International and is available now on <cite class="e company">YouTube</cite>: https://youtu.be/yckQnJp9fp8<br>

#SING4LIFE<br>
<br>
Yes there was silence<br>
<br>
Yes there was no people here<br>
<br>
Yes I walked through the streets of Dublin<br>
<br>
and no-one was near<br>
<br>
We all wait for the science<br>
<br>
To make everything clear<br>
<br>
Now I walk down the streets of London Town<br>
<br>
It seems like everyone's disappeared<br>
<br>
Oh - No one to reach<br>
<br>
But I can ring<br>
<br>
You can't touch<br>
<br>
But you can, you can sing<br>
<br>
Across rooftops<br>
<br>
Sing down the phone<br>
<br>
Sing and promise me you won't stop<br>
<br>
Sing your love, be known, oh -<br>
<br>
let your love be known<br>
<br>
Everybody talkin' ‘bout isolation<br>
<br>
Everybody tryin’ not to feel the fear<br>
<br>
The times got me worried ‘bout my occupation<br>
<br>
And I can't buy tissue for my tears<br>
<br>
And maybe I've said the wrong thing<br>
<br>
(No you didn't no you didn't)<br>
<br>
Yes I made you smile<br>
<br>
Everybody talkin’ 'bout social distancing<br>
<br>
But we just wanna go in the crowd<br>
<br>
And just dance away the pain<br>
<br>
But you can't touch<br>
<br>
But you can, you can sing<br>
<br>
Across rooftops<br>
<br>
Sing down the phone<br>
<br>
Sing and promise me you won't stop<br>
<br>
Sing and you're never alone.<br>
<br>
And again<br>
<br>
Sing as an act of resistance<br>
<br>

Let your love be known<br>

Choi Min-Sik, the star of the live-action film adaptation of the <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=6269">Oldboy</a></cite></cite> manga, will be attending the festival as a guest, and the festival will also be screening his latest film <cite>Nameless</cite>. The 11th annual film festival will run from June 29 to July 15 at the Walter Reade Theater and Japan Society. </p>
<p>Miike's adaptation of <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=624">CAPCOM</a></cite>'s <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=17948">Ace Attorney</a></cite></cite> videogame <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=70">franchise</a></cite> takes place in a parallel Japan, where a large increase in harsh crimes has led to a new court system. Under this new system, the defense attorney and public prosecutor have three days to battle cases out in open court to determine guilt or innocence of the accused, placing priority on speed instead of thorough investigation.</p>
<p>The film <a href="/interest/2011-10-20/ace-attorney-live-action-film-cast-photo-published">opened</a> in Japan on February 11. At its international premiere at International Film Festival Rotterdam in the Netherlands, Miike <a href="/news/2012-02-01/director-miike/ace-attorney-film-will-see-intl-release">predicted</a> that the film would be released worldwide. It <a href="/news/2012-03-21/hawaiian-film-festival-screens-ace-attorney-always/sunset-on-third-street-64-films">played</a> at the Hawaii International Film Festival last month, and it will <a href="/interest/2012-02-15/california-am2-to-host-ace-attorney-film-us-premiere">play</a> at California's AM2 convention next month.</p>

<div class="meat">
<p>The May issue of <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=15420">Kadokawa</a></cite>'s <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=20250">Monthly Comic Beam</a></cite></cite> magazine revealed on Friday that <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=73966">Gou Tanabe</a></cite> will launch a manga adaptation of <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=73967">H.P. Lovecraft</a></cite>'s <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=27350">The Call of Cthulhu</a></cite></cite> story. The official <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=24886">Twitter</a></cite> account for <cite><cite class="e anime">Monthly Comic Beam</cite></cite> retweeted manga creator Jun Hanyūnyū's post with a photograph of the announcement.</p>
<center><img src="/img/spacer.gif" border="1" width="525" height="700" data-src="/thumbnails/max700x700/cms/news.2/145619/cthulhu.jpg" class="lazyload"></center>
<p>The original short story features the first appearance of the extraterrestrial entity known as Cthulhu, who gives its name to the "Cthulhu Mythos" — the collective mythology of cosmic horror stories penned by Lovecraft and other authors. The story centers on the investigations of Francis Wayland Thurston concerning the strange activities of cult-like group of people who seem to worship an ageless being known as Cthulhu as a god who sleeps beneath the sea, ready to awaken to sow destruction.</p>
<p>The manga is part of a series of manga adaptations of <cite class="e person">H.P. Lovecraft</cite>'s works by Tanabe. <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=26">Dark Horse Comics</a></cite> <a href="/news/2016-07-01/dark-horse-licenses-hatsune-miku-evangelion-spinoff-manga-h.p-lovecraft-manga-adaptation/.103841">published</a> his manga of <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=18517">H.P. Lovecraft's The Hound and Other Stories</a></cite></cite> in August 2017, which includes "The Hound," "The Temple," and "The Nameless City." <cite class="e company">Dark Horse Comics</cite> also licensed Tanabe's <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=21831">At The Mountains Of Madness</a></cite></cite>, which was <a href="/news/2019-01-03/7-manga-nominated-for-angouleme-top-prize/.141592">nominated</a> for Best Comic by the 46th Angoulême International Comics Festival earlier this year. Tanabe then released manga based on Lovecraft's <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=18518">The Colour Out of Space</a></cite></cite> and <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=18519">The Haunter of the Dark</a></cite></cite>. He also earlier drew an adaptation of Lovecraft's <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=10389">The Outsider</a></cite></cite>. Tanabe recently <a href="/news/2018-11-14/gou-tanabe-the-shadow-out-of-time-manga-ends/.139414">ended</a> his manga based on <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=27351">The Shadow Out of Time</a></cite></cite> last November.</p>

<p><cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=909">Shuueisha</a></cite> has been publishing light novel spinoffs of its most popular <i><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=1363">Shounen Jump</a></cite></i> manga titles for quite a few years now, but <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=4552">Viz Media</a></cite>'s handsome American edition of <i> <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=25954">Death Note: Another Note, the Los Angeles BB Murder Cases</a></cite></i>—near-identical in presentation to the original Japanese one—is anything but lightweight. The book, which actually weighs quite a bit for its size, has been printed in lavish hardcover, foil-stamped and bound in black cloth. Interior pages are thick and creamy. A lovely full-color pin-up drawn by series artist <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=5766">Takeshi Obata</a></cite> and a black ribbon bookmark are also included. Each chapter, moreover, begins with even more amazing Obata art—<cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=273309">H.R. Giger</a></cite>-esque illustrations in sinister monochrome. Chapter two's is especially striking, a realistically proportioned skeleton standing slightly hunched over and chewing on a fingerbone. Those familiar with the <i><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=4354">Death Note</a></cite></i> series should know instantly who it is supposed to represent…and just in case you were not entirely certain, the chapter's subtitle is “Ryuuzaki.”</p>
<p>As for the prose of the novel itself, written by the youthful novelist <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=72953">NISIOISIN</a></cite> and smoothly translated by <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=54458">Andrew Cunningham</a></cite>, it is not half bad. The story is narrated by Mello, ostensibly based upon his recollections of things L once told him about past cases. This conceit is not strictly necessary for the novel's purposes. Mello does not participate in the specificities of the plot's action in any way, and his presence makes things a bit too breathless in places and a bit too self-conscious in others. Still, using a narrator like Mello <i>is</i>, after all, a classic detective novel device with a long, pedigreed history in Western examples of the genre, so it is easy to understand why <cite class="e person">NISIOISIN</cite> chose to frame the story in this way. (Other detective novel conventions also appear, such as allusions to cases that, in this case, do not actually exist in any published form.)</p>
<p>The protagonist is Naomi Misora, a character who first appeared in the <i><cite class="e anime">Death Note</cite></i> manga proper (killed by Light when she got a bit too close to the truth). This story, however, is best understood as a prequel to the manga since it takes place in July and August of 2002, shortly before the events surrounding the <cite class="e anime">Death Note</cite> begin. No shinigami or other supernatural elements are present. The antagonist is B, or “Beyond Birthday,” a wannabe L from Wammy House determined to “defeat” L by staging a series of crimes that the super-sleuth is unable to solve.</p>
<p>Not that the reader is going to be able to figure any of this out until <cite class="e person">NISIOISIN</cite> is good and ready to let the cat out of the bag. The logic chain is simply too obscure; this whodunit is not, alas, well-written enough to invite active reader participation. And then there is the final twist, about how Misora solves the crime, which is exactly the opposite those already familiar with the <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=70">franchise</a></cite> now reading the novel have been led to expect. I won't spoil it, but suffice it to say that it raises some interesting questions about the origins of some of L's aliases. By contrast, the origins of L's capoeira-like fighting style are definitively revealed. Other oddities of the novel go blithely unexplained. Most notably, names like “Believe Bridesmaid,” “Quarter Queen,” and a handful of others are too bizarre to be believable. There is no good reason for them and no precedent in the manga.</p>
<p>In final analysis, <i><cite class="e anime">Death Note: Another Note, the Los Angeles BB Murder Cases</cite></i> takes an innovative approach to the characters and the <cite class="e lexicon">franchise</cite> that fans should find both refreshing and rewarding. While still a niche release that will not be fully appreciated by newcomers, it is, without question, the best <i><cite class="e anime">Shounen Jump</cite></i>-spinoff novel to hit American shelves thus far.</p>

<p>The trick to watching this <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=35">OVA</a></cite> is to ignore all of the current plots of <cite class="e anime">Naruto</cite> and go back to thinking of it as a goofy series about a prankster ninja, an anti-social perfect student, and the useless girl who has a crush on him. “<cite class="e anime">Naruto</cite>: The Lost Story” goes back to the basics with its overly simple plot, formulaic battles, and constant toilet humor. This is a special that only a true <cite class="e anime">Naruto</cite> fan would purchase, not for viewing pleasure, but simply for owning another piece of the <cite class="e anime">Naruto</cite> <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=70">franchise</a></cite>. At most, a fan will watch it once then they'll put it on their shelf full of <cite class="e anime">Naruto</cite> box sets and action figures. Fans can shell out a couple more dollars to get the special pack that comes with the first volume of the <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=1598">Naruto<i> manga</i></a></cite>, but this late into the <cite class="e anime">Naruto</cite> game fans probably already own volume one plus the other fourteen volumes.</p>
<p>After making it through the chuunin exams, the huge battle with Gaara, the confrontation with <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=96161">Itachi</a></cite>, and the battle between the Legendary Sannin it's hard to believe that <cite class="e anime">Naruto</cite> was ever this corny and un-thrilling. If you're a <cite class="e anime">Naruto</cite> fan who is watching the series as it airs in Japan then this terribly predictable plot might be painful to go back to after watching week after week of exciting new episodes. It's not that the story is horribly bad, it just pales in comparison to the series today. Anyone can read the back of the DVD and figure out how the story will end.</p>
<p>The special is only half an hour so the pacing isn't the greatest. Before you get a chance to blink <cite class="e anime">Naruto</cite> is either stepping in dog crap or he is being attacked by the bad guys and trying to fight them off. The supposedly epic battle is the slowest twenty minute fight in the history of anime, dragging on like a <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=244">DBZ</a></cite> powering-up episode. After a non-epic battle it's all over and <cite class="e anime">Naruto</cite> is stepping in dog crap all over again. Think of it as watching the third episode of <cite class="e anime">Naruto</cite> with the spoiled milk; the <cite class="e lexicon">OVA</cite> is just as long and the humor is just as childish. Unfortunately, the <cite class="e lexicon">OVA</cite> doesn't improve over time like the series did.</p>
<p>The villains are not nearly as threatening as characters like Orochimaru or even Zabuza. You'll most likely forget their names during the final credits of the movie. The new hero, Shibuki, is a whiny coward who predictably learns what it takes to be a hero when every other heroic character is down for the count. The take home message of the movie is something right out of an after school special, “Believe in yourself, true strength comes from within.” Shibuki isn't the only one who learns this because both <cite class="e anime">Naruto</cite> and Sasuke work together and become stronger than ever before (again, ignore all the current plots where Sasuke can use the Chidori and <cite class="e anime">Naruto</cite> is mastering the Rasengan).</p>
<p>Anyone who likes Sakura is going to hate her characterization in this story. She isn't the short haired warrior who fought off a group of Sound ninja to protect her fallen comrades, nor is she the girl who took on her childhood friend in the chuunin exams. Her sole purpose in the <cite class="e lexicon">OVA</cite> is to sit back and panic every time someone gets punched in the face. It's just like the first couple of episodes where all she did was swoon over Sasuke, yell at <cite class="e anime">Naruto</cite>, and… swoon over Sasuke.</p>
<p>The <cite class="e lexicon">OVA</cite> has a rather long preview to “<cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=3381">Naruto the Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow</a></cite>” that is broken into three parts; one that just shows the movie, one that has a funny comment from <cite class="e anime">Naruto</cite>, and one that explains the entire plot. After watching the preview be sure to watch trailers to “Bleach,” “<cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=876">Prince of Tennis</a></cite>,” and “<cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=912">Hikaru no Go</a></cite>.” There is also an advertisement for a subscription to <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=1363">Shonen Jump</a></cite> magazine. When buying the <cite class="e lexicon">OVA</cite> be sure to look for the specially marked box that includes an exclusive trading card of Sasuke and <cite class="e anime">Naruto</cite>. And as usual with <cite class="e anime">Naruto</cite> DVDs there is a dubbed and subtitled track. The movie is also uncut… though to be honest there isn't really anything that needs to be cut.</p>
<p>Perhaps the <cite class="e lexicon">OVA</cite> should've been released sooner when the series wasn't so far along. The quality of this special is on the level of the beginning episodes and doesn't really do the series justice. Though watching it will make fans appreciate how much the series has progressed because hey, it's been a while since <cite class="e anime">Naruto</cite> has stepped in a pile of dog crap.</p>

<p>Well, this was a week! In a twist that I hope served as a positive surprise to everyone, Yours Truly was invited back to <cite>This Week In Anime</cite> yesterday for a special collab on <a href="/this-week-in-anime/2023-01-12/.193721"><cite>Toka Gettan: The Moonlight Lady Returns</cite></a>. This was a really fun one to work on! Chris is a fun guy to work with, and I'm a massive sucker for <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=21590">Carnelian</a></cite>'s old early 00s VNs. Lots of love to the <cite>TWIA</cite> folks, they helped me get my start here at ANN. You guys can feel free to check out their columns; Steve, Nick, Nicky, and Chris are great people.</p>
<p>Not much to report on the <cite>Xenoblade 3</cite> side of things; the year is already starting to ramp up, so there isn't much time to be delving into stuff outside of minor side-quests and level grinding. Ah, work. The bane of my spare time...</p>
<p>This is...
</p>
<div align="center"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="600" border="1" height="233" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/this-week-in-games/193641/ann_game_review_1.jpg" class="lazyload"></div>
<p>Before we get into the news, I wanted to contemplate my navel on something. I went to a local GameStop a few days back to pre-order my copy of <cite>Fire Emblem: Engage</cite> (I want the Tarot cards, okay?). And like anyone else who goes there, I got a particularly hard sell on the GameStop Pro service. Like everyone else, I am pretty annoyed by the upsells; I don't begrudge the poor cashiers at GameStop for having to lay on the sales pitches thick because the suits upstairs crack the whip something fierce, and it's their job on the line. As far back as 2004, I remember anonymous GameStop employees writing into <cite>Electronic Gaming Monthly</cite> bemoaning having to sell people services they knew their customers didn't want or else risk getting terminated. It sucks, and in a better world, these folks wouldn't have that Sword of Damocles hung over their heads.</p>
<p>People complain a lot about GameStop, but with my experiences as a gamer, I still emphasize that we <cite>need</cite> a brick-and-mortar store that focuses on games. Like, hey, you know how I always bring up <cite>Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja</cite> at every turn? Yeah, back in Puerto Rico, the only place I was going to find that was at the GameStop at the Plaza del Norte mall in Hatillo (before GameStop up and abandoned Puerto Rico in 2014 because they didn't want to pay our taxes, *grumble grumble*). I loved JRPGs, and I was never gonna find anything weirder than a <cite>Final Fantasy</cite> or a <cite>Mario & Luigi</cite> game at a Walmart. And forget <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=14687">Amazon</a></cite>: I lived in the boonies, so never mind being well out of <cite class="e company">Amazon</cite>'s delivery route, I couldn't even log into the website in the first place. (Yes, there are internet dead zones in Puerto Rico.) <cite>La Pucelle</cite>, <cite>Wild Arms: Alter f</cite>, <cite>Makai Kingdom</cite>, <cite>.hack//MUTATION</cite>, <cite>SoLaToRoBo</cite>... Gamestop kept my shelves loaded for bear.</p>
<p>My hope is that someone manages to make and maintain a nationwide chain of game shops, places that continue to sell physical copies of games while serving as fun community hubs for gamers. Because online-only, digital-only affairs <cite>suck</cite>, and the artificial scarcity model of limited-run physical releases bites. In the meantime: support your local shop, <cite>especially</cite> the mom-and-pop places in your city. Give 'em a shout-out in the comments, I want to know the cool places you guys explore in your local town!</p>
<p>Okay, news now!</p>
<div align="center"><h3>Indie Puzzle Game <cite>Apotris</cite> Gets GameBoy Advance Release</h3></div>
<p>With how near and dear the GameBoy Advance is to my heart, this is way too on-brand for me to avoid talking about. And this is the kind of fan effort I can really get behind! Indie dev team Akouzoukos created a little puzzle game called <cite>Apotris</cite>. Obviously, taking cues from the classic puzzle game <cite>Tetris</cite>, <cite>Apotris</cite> tasks players with stacking and arranging blocks. The blocks in question are all the traditional <cite>Tetris</cite> blocks, so it's the right-and-left Ls, the right-and-left "Z"s, the little "T" shape, the long "I" and a cube. <cite>Apotris</cite> makes a splashy screen wave every time you make a row across the screen, which is about the biggest visual difference from its inspiration, but the <cite>real</cite> draw is its multiple game modes! At the time of writing, version 3.4.5 of the game features <cite>11</cite> unique modes; some based on <cite>Tetris</cite> (specifically, "Classic" mode), others a bit more unique like "Dig" (tunneling through lines of garbage blocks with your combos). The code for the game is up on GitHub, and the game itself is available on <a href="https://akouzoukos.itch.io/apotris">Itch.io</a> on a "Pay-what-you-want" basis. And it's regularly getting support with updates, and maybe even new modes or music added!</p>
<p>The <cite>real</cite> fun is that developers Akouzoukos have made a physical cartridge for the game compatible with the GameBoy Advance!</p>
<p></p>
<figure><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="300" height="300" alt="01" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max300x600/cms/this-week-in-games/193641/01.jpg" class="lazyload"><figcaption class="title">Apotris game cartridge</figcaption><figcaption class="credit">Image via <a href="https://akouzoukos.itch.io/apotris" target="_blank">akouzoukos.itch.io</a></figcaption><figcaption class="credit copyright"><div class="text">©akouzoukos</div></figcaption></figure><p>The GameBoy Advance port ('cuz let's face it, that's what it is) goes so far as to feature a two-player mode compatible with the old GameBoy Advance Link Cable. Best of all, there's a slightly-more-expensive version that features a rumble-pack, vibrating the cartridge in time with your combos (a feature that far too few games incorporated--<cite>Drill Dozer</cite> rocked those vibrations!). Also, the cartridge is transparent, like the old <cite>Boktai</cite> cartridges. It's not even a <cite>Boktai</cite> game, and they're giving me those old nostalgic vibes.</p>
<p>If you want a copy, you can pick it up on the <a href="https://shop.insidegadgets.com/product/apotris/">Insidegadgets website</a>; the "rumble" version runs for $42 USD, while the non-rumble version goes for $37 (which is right around where old GBA games used to be priced, too). At the time of writing, <cite>Apotris</cite> is marked as sold-out, but according to the dev team, this is because they're stocking back up on the necessary cartridge shells to produce new copies. Best of all: because it's a flash cart, anyone tech-savvy enough can update the game whenever new patches are released!</p>
<p>There's a bustling industry for homebrew media for old <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=620">Nintendo</a></cite> consoles; while I have yet to learn of any such apps for the <cite class="e company">Nintendo</cite> DS or 3DS (let me know in the comments if there are any I should know about), the idea of homebrew content for the GBA amuses me as much as it warms my heart. It's not even that we didn't have a <cite>Tetris</cite> game on GBA back in the day because we did--<cite>Tetris Worlds</cite>. It wasn't quite the <cite>Tetris</cite> game people wanted, and it did offer some gameplay changes fans weren't wild about, sadly. It's taken <cite>Apotris</cite> 20 years to correct that mistake, but that's the magic of homebrew gaming for you. I look forward to hearing about more homebrew games!</p>
<div align="center"><h3>
<cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=15513">Bushiroad</a></cite> To Produce A Trio Of Anime-Based Titles In 2023</h3></div>
<p>This one threw me for a loop because I'm mainly used to hearing <cite class="e company">Bushiroad</cite>'s name in association with <cite>card</cite> games; <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=11763">Cardfight!! Vanguard</a></cite></cite>, <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=15686">Future Card Buddyfight</a></cite></cite>, <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=10820">Weiß Schwarz</a></cite></cite>, <cite>AlicexCross</cite>... I didn't even know these guys had a video game division. But it turns out they do, and this past week they unveiled a short trailer on <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=8245">YouTube</a></cite> announcing a trio of games based on anime.</p>
<div align="center"><span style="display: block; width: 560px; max-width: 100%">
<span style="display: block; padding-top: 56.25%; position: relative;"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TieDIw7zZ60" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%;"></iframe></span></span></div>
<p>There is little to say about the first two games, as all we have are their logos and the consoles they'll be releasing on. First up is <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=20672">Goblin Slayer</a></cite> Another Adventure: Nightmare Feast</cite>, set to be released on the <cite class="e company">Nintendo</cite> Switch and <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=15875">Steam</a></cite>. The other is <cite>Jobless Reincarnation - Quest of Memories</cite>, due out on the <cite class="e company">Nintendo</cite> Switch, PS4, and <cite class="e company">Steam</cite>. I'm not glossing over details on these because these are manga/anime/light novels I'm not particularly fond of--there really isn't much to say. Again, this sizzle reel slapped the logos on-screen and called it a day. We don't even have release dates for them.</p>
<p>With a title like <cite>Nightmare Feast</cite>, <cite><cite class="e anime">Goblin Slayer</cite> Another Adventure</cite> sounds positively dreary--somehow, this seems even less appealing than the actual <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=2298">Berserk</a></cite></cite> Musou title, <cite><cite class="e anime">Berserk</cite>: Band of the Hawk</cite> on PS4. <cite><cite class="e anime">Goblin Slayer</cite></cite>, a series about an enigmatic armored warrior whose life mission is to eradicate the population of predatory goblins off of the face of his world, has its population of loyal fans, but the titular Slayer doesn't strike me as a very interesting dude, and the idea of an entire species being inherently evil isn't exactly the kind of thing I'm interested in when it comes to my tastes in fantasy. But hey, you could make a decent Musou with the concept. Give the Slayer any weapon, play as one of his party members, give 'em big combo trees, and rack up the kills. That's a recipe for a satisfying button masher.</p>
<p><cite>Jobless Reincarnation - Quest of Memories</cite>... well, this one also has a very loyal fanbase. The story of a <cite>guy</cite> who reincarnates as a baby in a fantasy world where he gains weird stellar skills in magic and swordplay, <cite>Jobless Reincarnation</cite>, apparently went on to inspire a lot of other isekai. With that kind of legacy, I'm surprised it's taken this long to get a game out of the series, but here we are. I expect this one to be more of a traditional action RPG, perhaps along the lines of the <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=22955">Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris</a></cite></cite> games. Hopefully, more entertaining than those said duplicate titles too.</p>
<p>It's the final title that has me really interested: it's 2023, and we're getting a new <cite>Super Dimensional <cite class="e anime">Macross</cite></cite> shooter! Titled <cite><cite class="e anime">Macross</cite>: Shooting Insight</cite>, we at least got <cite>some</cite>glimpse at the game. The most we know is that it'll take place on both vertical and horizontal planes (think <cite>1942</cite> and <cite>Lightening Force</cite> alike). We can also see that <cite>Shooting Insight</cite> will allow you to play with the Valkyrie fighters' Jet modes and their famous chicken-legged Gerwalk-modes. What we don't know is which <cite><cite class="e anime">Macross</cite></cite> entries <cite>Shooting Insight</cite> will incorporate. It could just stick to <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=355">Super Dimensional Fortress Macross</a></cite></cite> if it wants to be boring. Many people don't like <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=169">Macross II</a></cite></cite>, it seems, so that's out. <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=940">Macross 7</a></cite></cite> would be a riot, even if they can't get any of that old, loveable Fire Bomber music in. <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=501">Macross Plus</a></cite></cite> would be fun to see. And I feel like <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=8586">Macross Frontier</a></cite></cite> and <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=17762">Macross Delta</a></cite></cite> are way too popular not to put into a <cite><cite class="e anime">Macross</cite></cite>-themed shooter. Again, no release date, but we know <cite><cite class="e anime">Macross</cite>: Shooting Insight</cite> is coming to PS4, <cite class="e company">Nintendo</cite> Switch, and <cite class="e company">Steam</cite>. A US release seems unlikely because of <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=210942">Harmony Gold</a></cite> and their odious presence, but we can always hope. Anything so that the Lucky Chicken-produced <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=71">Robotech</a></cite></cite> shooter isn't the only <cite><cite class="e anime">Macross</cite></cite> shooter you can get on the Switch. </p>
<p>Fun fact: that was the first game I got for my GameBoy Advance (a middle-school classmate had gifted me three of the Jack McKinney <cite><cite class="e anime">Robotech</cite></cite> novelizations back in the day, so I had a minor <cite><cite class="e anime">Robotech</cite></cite> phase in the early 2000s). There's actually an HD remaster of that game on the <a href="https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/robotech-the-macross-saga-hd-edition-switch/">Nintendo eShop</a> and it's <cite>so bad</cite>; the synthesized orchestral music is out-of-synch, the screen uses proportions designed for a GameBoy Advance screen, so sprites are too big while there's too much empty space on the screen, the old screencapped art for the characters' portraits look uncanny compared to the horribly-cheap HUD... it's $10 for a kusoge for the ages, assuming you can live with giving <cite class="e person">Harmony Gold</cite> some of your money. I'm tempted, but also... I'm really not.</p>
<p>So that's <cite><cite class="e anime">Macross</cite>: Shooting Insight</cite>, and I don't think it has much chance of coming to the US, but the other titles? Well, they actually <cite>have</cite> significantly bigger fanbases in the US. <cite><cite class="e anime">Goblin Slayer</cite></cite> might be too outwardly gross, but I can see someone taking a chance on the <cite>Jobless Reincarnation</cite> title. We'll keep you posted.</p>
<div align="center"><h3>New <cite>King of Fighters XV</cite> DLC Announced: Shingo Yabuki Returns To The Ring</h3></div>
<p><cite>King of Fighters</cite> has such a long, storied history as a <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=70">franchise</a></cite> that it's got tons of characters folks are dying to see return. Just look at how excited people got when Shermie got announced for <cite>King of Fighters XV</cite> release. There'd be outright pandemonium if Duck King was brought back! For now, though, we have a few other fighters who've got their ticket to come back. For now, it's a long-time fan favorite, Shingo Yabuki!</p>
<div align="center"><span style="display: block; width: 560px; max-width: 100%">
<span style="display: block; padding-top: 56.25%; position: relative;"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Iuv9bxAVRCQ" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%;"></iframe></span></span></div>
<p>Shingo's return is hotly anticipated. A young upstart who idolizes Kyo Kusanagi, Shingo's been missing from <cite>King of Fighters</cite> since <cite>King of Fighters 2002: Unlimited Match</cite>. Also, in a move that makes me very jealous concerning Ángel, he's been voiced by fan-favorite <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=75">voice actor</a></cite> <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=662">Takehito Koyasu</a></cite> since Day One. (<cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=1040">SNK</a></cite> not being able to secure <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=1454">Mayumi Shintani</a></cite> to continue to voice Ángel upsets me, Ángel is best with a bit of a gremlin voice.) There isn't much to say about Shingo, as his place in the story is Kyo's comedic trainee, who's a nice kid but a bit too enthusiastic. His super shows him flubbing a move and conking himself with the opponent in the head, for crying out loud. But again: <cite>Koyasu</cite>. We all deserve more chances to hear that man and his velvety voice screaming his heart out. Also worth noting: in true form for an <cite class="e company">SNK</cite> game, the comments to Shingo's trailer are crawling with delighted Latin American fans cheering at the return of not only Shingo but Koyasu as his <cite class="e lexicon">voice actor</cite>. It warms my heart to see us all cheering this guy on.</p>
<p>The trailer also gives players a look into what we can expect for <cite>King of Fighters XV</cite> in 2023. On the less sexy side of things, we have some character rebalancing in store sometime after Shingo's release. <cite>King of Fighters XV</cite> is also supposed to get cross-platform play sometime between spring and summer 2023, which is exciting. But after Shingo, we've got a one-two punch of new characters! Kim Kaphwan, the OG taekwondo pugilist, is returning to the <cite>King of Fighters</cite> tournament this spring, with Sylvie Paula Paula hot on his heels for a summer 2023 release. Kim is a standby of the <cite class="e company">SNK</cite> world, having debuted initially with the <cite>Fatal Fury</cite> series (and even appearing in <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=824">Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture</a></cite></cite>). Sylvie is a bit more contentious; she debuted in <cite>King of Fighters XIV</cite>, but her "Kyary Pamu Pamu"-inspired design (and the weird eyeball hair-decorations that bring <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=270">Pokémon</a></cite></cite>'s recent Iono to mind) made her a bit too different in the eyes of many fighting game fans. Nevertheless, she's a member of NESTS along with Ángel and Kula Diamond. Her new design also has even more eyeballs, if you can believe it.</p>
<p>This summer also sees the return of Najd, another returning character from <cite>King of Fighters XIV</cite>. Of course, this is where we have to drop the requisite bomb, as <cite class="e company">SNK</cite> is owned by Saudi Arabian Prince Mohammed bin Salman, whose government is implicated in several human rights violations and the murder of a journalist. Designed by the artist Mashael Al-Barrak (who, at least, is <a href="https://twitter.com/BMashael/status/1613230743076966401">very excited</a> to see her back), Najd is to be blamed for <cite class="e company">SNK</cite>'s unfortunate ownership. Still, it's important to remind folks of the bloody circumstances that follow <cite class="e company">SNK</cite>'s games in the light of their ownership.</p>
<p>The trailer ends with the silhouettes of two extra characters scheduled for release this autumn and winter, respectively. I can't pretend I'm a big enough <cite class="e company">SNK</cite> fan to grok who these are supposed to be, but commenters on <cite class="e company">YouTube</cite> theorize that the winter character is Alice from <cite>King of Fighters XIV</cite>. As for the autumn character, some folks think it's Adel.</p>
<p>We'll keep you posted as more news breaks on <cite>King of Fighters</cite>!</p>
<div align="center"><h3>AI VTuber Gets Banned On Twitch</h3></div>
<p>Twitch angered several streamers late last year when they produced a video highlighting some of their developments in streaming and conflated VTubers with being "AI." This is pretty insulting to the people who work hard portraying these characters; how little do you seriously know about your streamers? But that doesn't mean there isn't at least <cite>one</cite> AI VTuber. Named "Neuro," this AI VTuber actually plays <cite>Minecraft</cite> and <cite>Osu!</cite> while holding conversations with viewers. And because she's an AI VTuber, she has several off-color things to say, like on her December 28th stream where she was quoted as doubting the Holocaust happened. Freaking <cite>yikes</cite>. This was a bit too much for Twitch, who banned the VTuber earlier this week; while the exact reason for their banning wasn't clear, you probably wouldn't have to look too far to find valid reasoning.</p>
<div align="center">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">The controversial and fastly growing AI streamer Neuro Sama has officially been banned on Twitch<br><br>I've contacted the owner as to the reason why <a href="https://t.co/gIVGbGoLxl">pic.twitter.com/gIVGbGoLxl</a></p>— Jake Lucky (@JakeSucky) <a href="https://twitter.com/JakeSucky/status/1613286853465247746?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 11, 2023</a>
</blockquote> <script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div> <p>Neuro's creator, Vedal, has been quoted as saying that he's working on appealing the ban while tuning up Neuro's AI so that she comes back "better than ever," but I'm side-eying this. I recall when Projekt Melody hit the scene in 2020; there was a lot of consternation on behalf of adult streamers that she was going to put them out of a job; after all, a virtual performer doesn't have to worry about maintaining their body the same way a flesh-and-blood streamer does. But that did turn out to be a tempest in a teapot. In the following years, we've seen that Melody (as well as many VTuber of her ilk, adult or not) are hardworking people who are no less dedicated to their careers as streamers than anyone else. VTubing offers creatives a chance to make stuff without being judged by their appearances while allowing people to create their own identities. Unsurprisingly, many voice actors and <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=15">cosplayers</a></cite> also go into VTubing. But an actual AI VTuber? An actual program pulling a "Sharon Apple" on folks? That concerns me, and not because of the potential streamers that would "put out of a job"--there's always going to be the need for actual interaction between streamers and their audiences. And besides, people already go nuts for concerts hosted by <cite>Splatoon</cite>'s Off The Hook, K.K. Slider, or Hatsune Miku. Instead, the issue is that <cite>neural networks suck</cite>. Just look at Neuro: Vedal obviously didn't hit the "racism" button, but the basic principle of computing is "garbage in, garbage out." The data for "HistoricalRevisionism.exe" had to come from <cite>somewhere</cite>, even if Vedal didn't put it in there himself. And unfortunately, the kind of garbage data stemming from racism, sexism, or any other brand of hatred is just <cite>that</cite> prominent on the Internet.</p>
<p>Some argue that this is "the nature of the Internet" at work. Still, it nevertheless feels like a massive indictment on the whole smack if otherwise reasonable creatives make a neural network that finds itself parroting antisemitism that wasn't explicitly programmed into it. Especially in the context of the gaming community, which really <strong>really</strong> has issues with people and their "heated gaming moments." An actual AI VTuber will need a lot more moderation, curatorship, and plain old <cite>responsibility</cite> than I think we have at the moment.</p>
<div align="center"><h3>Let's wrap up with some quick tidbits:</h3></div>
<li>
<cite>Ys IX: Monstrum Nox</cite> is set to arrive to the PS5 in the US this May 2023! The port will include all previously-released DLC.
</li>
<li>
<cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=25648">Shin Kamen Rider</a></cite> Ranbu</cite>, a side-scrolling beat-'em-up based on <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=15">Hideaki Anno</a></cite>'s upcoming <cite><cite class="e anime">Shin Kamen Rider</cite></cite> film, has been announced for the <cite class="e company">Nintendo</cite> Switch and PC. It'll release in Japan on March 23rd; sadly, no news on a US release. I'm crying into my pillows at the thought right now.
</li>
<li>A new <cite>Dragon Quest</cite> RPG is to be announced for iOS and Android devices this January 18th; we'll keep you guys posted! Hopefully, <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=4179">Yuji Naka</a></cite> won't have to go to jail for this one.
</li>
<p>That'll do it for this week. Lots to look forward to! We'll have some fun previews and stuff in the next few days. Hopefully, this weekend gives you guys plenty to get excited about! Remember to share your input in the forums, you guys are great fun to talk to, and I appreciate your input. Just do me a solid and remember to give folks in your daily life some love, too. A simple "I hope you're doing okay!" or "I appreciate you!" can mean a lot to folks. Be good to each other; I'll see you in seven.</p>

<p>The live-action film adaptation of <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=35879">Hideaki Sorachi</a></cite>'s <cite><cite class="e anime">Gintama</cite></cite> manga is slated to open in summer 2017 in Japan.</p>

Fukuda <a href="/news/2016-09-06/live-action-gintama-film-finishes-shooting-gintoki-scenes/.106142">revealed</a> in September that filming with Gintoki's actor <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=18009">Shun Oguri</a></cite> has wrapped up.</p>
<p>Sorachi began the manga in 2004 and it <a href="/news/2015-05-31/top-selling-manga-in-japan-by-series-2015/.88770">continues</a> to be ranked among the top-selling manga in Japan. The manga <a href="/daily-briefs/2016-05-02/gintama-manga-has-50-million-copies-in-print-in-japan/.101705">has</a> more than 50 million copies in print in Japan. The manga <a href="/daily-briefs/2016-07-07/gintama-manga-enters-final-arc/.104053">entered</a> its final arc on July 11.</p>
<p>The manga inspired a television anime that premiered in 2006 and continued (with several extended <a href="/news/2012-08-26/new-gintama-anime-episodes-to-return-on-tv">hiatuses</a>) until 2013.

<p><cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=159035">Masanori Morikawa</a></cite>, a Christian Dada designer and a fan of the original manga, designed the masks and costumes of the ghouls in the film.</p>
<p><cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=159031">Kentarō Hagiwara</a></cite> ("Super Star" short) is directing the film, and the production shot principal photography from July to September.</p>
<p>The <cite><cite class="e anime">Tokyo Ghoul</cite></cite> urban fantasy/horror story is set in Tokyo, which is haunted by mysterious "ghouls" who are devouring humans. People are gripped by the fear of these ghouls whose identities are masked in mystery. An ordinary college student named Kaneki encounters <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=67883">RIZE</a></cite>, a girl who is an avid reader like him, at the café he frequents. <cite class="e person">RIZE</cite> later reveals that she is a ghoul and attempts to kill and devour Kaneki, but fails. Kaneki, waking up in critical condition in the hospital, finds that he is now half-ghoul, and begins to live a double life as a normal college student, all the while trying to suppress his cannibalistic ghoul instincts.</p>

In Indonesia, M&C! is <a href="/news/2016-04-21/m-c-licenses-haikyu-and-tokyo-ghoul-manga/.101290">publishing</a> the original manga. The original manga has been adapted into two television anime series, three light novels, two OVAs, and two video games.</p>

The word "climax" written in the phonetic katakana alphabet often refers to the final chapter of a manga.</p>
<p><cite>Imprisoned Hearts</cite>, Suruga's first original work, <a href="http://natalie.mu/comic/news/164247" target="_blank">began</a> in <cite class="e anime">ARIA</cite> in October 2015. <cite class="e company">Kodansha</cite> published the second compiled volume in December.</p>
<p>The story follows Muga, an unhappy 17-year-old who is on the verge of jumping off a building when a mysterious girl who calls herself a prison guard appears. She looks just like a girl who saved Muga as a child but later disappeared.</p>
<p>Suruga drew the <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=15904">Attack on Titan: No Regrets</a></cite></cite> prequel manga with scripts by <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=127179">Gun Snark</a></cite> from 2013 <a href="/news/2014-05-27/attack-on-titan-no-regrets-manga-to-end-next-month/.74967">to</a> 2014. <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=8388">Kodansha Comics</a></cite> published the manga in English. The manga <a href="/news/2015-01-22/attack-on-titan-no-regrets-anime-promo-previews-last-episode/.83572">inspired</a> a two-episode <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=35">OVA</a></cite> that bundled with volumes of <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=97559">Hajime Isayama</a></cite>'s original <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=12308">Attack on Titan</a></cite></cite> manga.</p>

<b>Summary:</b><br>
The first season of <cite><cite class="e anime">Bakuman.</cite></cite> followed fledgling artist Moritaka Mashiro and writer Akito Takagi as they attempted to win a manga competition in order to gain some recognition in the field. <strong>[Spoiler Alert!]</strong> When we last left the heroes, their manga had been approved for serialization...so the second season will likely follow the trials and tribulations of creating an ongoing serialized manga.

<p style="clear:right"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" class="fright lazyload" width="300" height="168" border="1" data-src="/thumbnails/max300x600/cms/episode-review/92967/biyoriep11.jpg">Time flies when you're doing nothing. I was admiring the fall colors in last week's episode of <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=16655">Non Non Biyori Repeat</a></cite>, and now it's already winter. Someone must have looked at the production schedule and realized that they needed to pick up the pace if they wanted to cover every season. If there were anything resembling a plot here, it'd be hurtling along at breakneck speed. We'll come back around to spring by the end of the series at this rate, so enjoy the winter while you can.</p>
<p>This episode features something that's rather uncommon for the show: a cell phone. Konomi rocks Komari's world by letting her handle a pink flip phone, even though the cell signal in their town is practically nonexistent. There's a spot in front of Konomi's house that provides a bar or two, but Komari isn't quite tall enough to reach it without a few mishaps. Renge sets to work making illustrations for her New Year's cards, which draws some idle curiosity from <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=274598">Hikage</a></cite>. A titanic battle ensues between an artist protecting her unfinished masterpiece and a pushy critic who wants to see the work in progress. As the new year rolls in, Hotaru does her best to convince her friends that she's not as mature as everyone says. A quick look inside her house yields all the evidence we need to verify her claim.</p>
<p>The hunt for a cell phone signal makes for an amusing opening scene, and it should ring a bell for anyone who's tried to make a call in the middle of nowhere. Older viewers may even be reminded of the dark days when it wasn't uncommon to have to hunt for a decent set of bars in your own home. Along with some reasonably well-timed comedy, the scene builds on the show's rural atmosphere by drawing distinctions between the characters and their more urban anime counterparts. Even the offhand remark that they'd have to take a train to get breakfast at a fast food restaurant helps to reinforce the idea that we're genuinely off the grid here. As a casual bit of worldbuilding, it works quite well.</p>
<p>The battle of wills between Renge and <cite class="e person">Hikage</cite> is weak compared to some of the show's previous comedic exchanges, but it does feature a few hilarious moments of martial arts action. Something about Renge defending her drawing with the violent fury of a <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=204">Fist of the North Star</a></cite> character is funny beyond any logical explanation. That moment alone justifies the scene's existence, even if everything else falls short of the smooth delivery that often characterizes these kinds of scenes. It's not bad by any means; it's just a bit underwhelming. In a series that's typically near the top of the slice-of-life pyramid, an average scene stands out as a weak link.</p>
<p>While I like the premise of Hotaru's personality changing once she's inside her own home, I don't think it's amusing enough to carry the surplus of screentime that it's given. Once she spends thirty seconds lounging around and watching TV shows about kittens, the joke is more or less over. A more tightly edited script would have bounced her out into the next scene, but instead we get more of the same <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=16579">Punch Line</a></cite> until the excess runtime is filled up. Again, a more mediocre series can get away with this without drawing too much criticism. Because <cite class="e anime">Non Non Biyori Repeat</cite> has consistently proven that it can do better, it feels like the show is phoning it in here.</p>
<p>There have been a handful of episodes this season where <cite class="e anime">Non Non Biyori Repeat</cite> has been conspicuously light on content, and this marks another entry in that list. The magic is still there, but it's stretched too thin to elevate the material beyond its surface-level appeal. It's easy to watch and easier to forget.</p>

<hr>
<div class="meat">
<p>Game developer Dharker Studio <a href="http://steamcommunity.com/app/560250/discussions/0/1479856439032666968/#c1479856439033844346" target="_blank">revealed</a> in a <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=15875">Steam</a></cite> forum post last Saturday that it received notification from Valve that the company no longer allows links to uncensor patches for games posted on <cite class="e company">Steam</cite>. These patches restore adult content that has been censored in the game in order for the game to comply with <cite class="e company">Steam</cite>'s content rules.</p>
<p style="clear:right"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" border="0" class="fright lazyload" width="450" height="73" data-src="/thumbnails/max450x450/cms/news/123578/mangagamer-3.png.jpg"><cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=95790">John Pickett</a></cite>, PR Director & Head Translator at video game developer and publisher <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=19068">MangaGamer</a></cite>, provided ANN with the following statement regarding the situation:
</p>
<blockquote>
As of Friday, October 27, Valve has sent out an e-mail informing us and other developers that adult content cannot be distributed on <cite class="e company">Steam</cite>, and that they will no longer allow official discussion of any uncensor or adult patches on <cite class="e company">Steam</cite> Pages and the <cite class="e company">Steam</cite> Community. We have since been obligated to remove all mention of our free adult patches from <cite class="e company">Steam</cite>.<p>This is, of course, in direct contradiction to the <a href="http://blog.mangagamer.org/2017/06/02/d-s-dal-segno-now-available-for-preorder/#more-14554" target="_blank">policies Valve outlined to us</a> when we spoke with them in person at their office less than six months ago. These new developments are as much a shock to us as we're sure they are to fans and other developers. We've urged Valve to maintain consistency on their policies regarding adult content, and believe this is needed now more than ever.</p>
<p>While it may be unclear how the future of adult gaming on <cite class="e company">Steam</cite> will evolve from here, we can assure everyone that we at <cite class="e company">MangaGamer</cite> remain dedicated to providing the full, uncensored, uncut versions of some of the best adult games on the market, and shall continue to retail them unhindered on our storefront. We also welcome other developers to contact us and discuss the possibilities of retailing on our storefront.
</p>
</blockquote>
<p><cite class="e company">MangaGamer</cite> <a href="/news/2017-07-02/mangagamer-reveals-physical-edition-of-umineko-game-new-game-from-da-capo-circus/.118321">stated</a> at <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=21001">Anime Expo</a></cite> in July that it was working to release more titles on <cite class="e company">Steam</cite> as all-ages titles with separate free adult-only patches. The company added at that time that the <cite class="e company">Steam</cite> version of the games and the version offered on <cite class="e company">MangaGamer</cite>'s website would be priced the same.</p>
<p style="clear:left"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" border="1" class="fleft lazyload" width="250" height="235" data-src="/thumbnails/max250x250/cms/news/123578/sekai-project.png.jpg">Game publisher <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=13988">Sekai Project</a></cite> told ANN it couldn't comment on Valve's official policies, but the company confirmed that it received a similar correspondence from Valve, as developers of many of <cite class="e company">Sekai Project</cite>'s games post links to uncensored patches in the <cite class="e company">Steam</cite> forums. According to <cite class="e company">Sekai Project</cite>, Valve requested that these links be removed from Valve-controlled channels, and that all of <cite class="e company">Sekai Project</cite>'s developers have complied with the request.</p>
<p><cite class="e company">Sekai Project</cite> noted that it plans to comply with Valve's policies, and that it will encourage its development partners to keep the policies in mind when releasing games. </p>
<p>Dharker Studio said it will update its own website with information on how to install the patch. Game developer Lupiesoft also <a href="https://steamcommunity.com/app/669050/discussions/0/1479856439036069202/#c1479856439036151248" target="_blank">stated</a> that fans should go to the developer's official website for more information.</p>
<p style="clear:right"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" border="0" class="fright lazyload" width="350" height="116" data-src="/thumbnails/max350x350/cms/news/123578/valve-logo.png.jpg">Valve has not made an official statement regarding the policy. Valve co-founder and president Gabe Newell <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Gaben/comments/5olhj4/hi_im_gabe_newell_ama/dck73mn/" target="_blank">addressed</a> the issue during a Reddit AMA Q&A session in February. When asked if <cite class="e company">Steam</cite> would consider allowing uncensored video games to be sold on the platform, Newell said: "In principle, there are two problems to solve. The first is a completely uncurated distribution tool for developers. The second is a toolset for customers that allow them to find and filter content (and people are an instance of content most obviously in multiplayer) that is best for them."</p>
<p><cite class="e company">Steam</cite> still features an age gate for some games, and it also offers certain games that feature depictions of sex, such as game developer Love Conquers All's <cite>Ladykiller in a Bind</cite> <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/560000/Ladykiller_in_a_Bind/" target="_blank">game</a>. According to gaming news website Polygon, Valve didn't allow the game on its platform until several months after its release, and the game's developer <a href="https://www.polygon.com/2017/1/4/14165136/ladykiller-in-a-bind-steam" target="_blank">said</a> Valve didn't require edits to the game when it eventually approved the game for release.</p>

<b> The Adventures of EGGLIA: Legend of the Redcap to Delight Western Fans </b><p><i>Highly Anticipated JRPG from Powerhouse Team, <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=10488">DMM</a></cite> Powerchord Studio and Brownies, Out Now on iOS and Android</i></p>
</div>
<p><b>Tokyo, Japan – August 3, 2017 –</b> <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=23515">DMM.com</a></cite> Ltd.'s POWERCHORD STUDIO and Brownies Inc.'s highly anticipated role-playing action game, EGGLIA: Legend of the Redcap, is available starting today on the Apple App Store and <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=12897">Google Play</a></cite> Store. Initially released in its native Japan in April where it hit #2 on the App Store* and #1 in the RPG category*, the global release of the game allows audiences from all around the world to experience the magical world of Egglia in English. EGGLIA: Legend of the Redcap can be purchased for $9.99 USD, €10.99 EUR, £9.99 GBP, available in North America, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, Europe, Southeast Asia and beyond.</p>
<p>In celebration of today's launch, the game's creators shared a beautiful new trailer featuring the first full quest from EGGLIA: Legend of the Redcap, introducing players to world and the game's protagonist, Chabo. The quest, which serves as a tutorial, begins with Chabo hatching an egg to revive the land trapped within, then learning the basic mechanics such as the turn-based movement system, resource gathering and combat. We also meet some of the colorful inhabitants of Egglia and get a glimpse of the adventure to follow. This new 18-minute trailer can be viewed at https://youtu.be/rfzguZslxJM.</p>
<p>Trust Your Instincts as the World of Egglia is in Your Hands…</p>
<p>Players will explore the land of Egglia as a gentle boy elf, Chabo, who must navigate the world via a turn-based RPG system while hunting monsters for experience and gathering resources on a hexagonal grid, using a turn-based dice combat system. Players will uncover a series of mythical eggs that can be hatched to unlock different lands of the world of Egglia to explore and gather materials to grow their village – in doing so, players will evolve a variety of spirit companions that will assist in future battles.</p>
<p>In Chabo's adventure through Egglia, a host of companions will be met throughout the journey and players will be able to build homes and grow a village for them. These homes can be upgraded and furnished with numerous fun decorations allowing players to customize and decorate as desired.</p>
<p>EGGLIA: Legend of the Redcap delivers a memorable experience set in a new yet familiar setting. Players will find themselves instantly captivated with the beautiful world and amazing story that could only be told by the veteran team comprised of Shinichi Kameoka, Head Producer, Character Designer and President, CEO of Brownies Inc.; <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=134454">Michio Okamiya</a></cite>, Head of POWERCHORD STUDIO; and <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=42074">Yoko Shimomura</a></cite>, Composer.</p>

At last, the Provisional License Exams come to an end, which means that our baby bird heroes can slowly begin to leave the nest. Those who passed the test may exercise the authority of a pro hero in emergency situations, meaning most of our main characters shouldn't have to worry about jumping through legal hoops like Midoriya and company did in the fallout of the Stain fight. I say "most of" our main cast because a few choice figures didn't make the cut. Todoroki and Inasa failed because of their fight, and Bakugo flunked because he's Bakugo. Basically, the kids who'd normally be a shoe-in on talent alone are finally facing a wall, and their inability to be team players is putting them behind the rest. These past couple of episodes have done a fantastic job making it crystal clear what these exams have really been about in regards to the big picture.</p>
<p>All Might's retirement has emboldened these transitional exposition episodes considerably. This is world-building in a much more literal sense, where the future is so uncertain that how the heroes and villains develop from here will shape society as we know it, and so each successive piece of information becomes pivotal. It turns out that weirdo girl Camie was actually Toga from the League of Villains in disguise (perhaps I should have seen this coming) and All Might has a frank conversation with an imprisoned All For One. They're two men operating on the extreme opposite ends of the hero-villain spectrum, both having to leave their ideals in the hands of successors. Even with All For One defeated and locked up, his actions with continue to eat away at All Might, who feels powerless and helpless in retirement. Though, All Might's declaration to not succumb to Shigaraki is still completely badass.</p>
<p>The final piece of this episode sets up a rematch between Midoriya and Bakugo, at the site of their last fight from season one. This episode plays into the attitude problems developed by the top students, and Bakugo contrasts nicely with Todoroki and Inasa, who were ultimately humbled by their failure. It's hard to imagine that Bakugo could ever demonstrate that humility, even if there's clearly a voice in the back of his head being drowned out by the profound insecurity. This is the kind of character work that I love; Bakugo isn't being as outwardly aggressive as you might expect. He's turned quiet as he shifts his anger back at Midoriya. It doesn't feel like a lack of self-control this time, but genuine malice.</p>
<p>Something that really sets <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=20356">My Hero Academia</a></cite> apart from a lot of battle shonen is that the protagonists' good qualities aren't just a means towards making them likeable for the audience. Their end-game is to be heroes and public servants, and so being a good person matters quite a bit. These recent episodes go a long way towards highlighting how few people are truly able to be the total package that All Might was. All Might was not only strong, but caring and free of ego. You get a sense that some of these kids can learn and grow, either by getting stronger or learning to care and empathize with others more, but Bakugo's strength is so much a product of his arrogance and personal identity. We've already ruled him out as a villain, but can he truly be at home with the heroes? The kid's got issues, and he's fascinating to watch.</p>
<p>MHA's post-arc transitions are getting better each time around. Good and evil are competing for the future of civilization, and both sides seem ready to collapse in on themselves at any moment. This episode is filled to the brim with material to get you thinking. In the end I really appreciate how these exam arcs serve as measuring sticks for our heroes' development, because it's becoming increasingly important that they're doing their best at all times. There's a sober realization after spending the early parts of the Provisional License Exams begging for it to get big and exciting instead of genial and by-the-numbers, and then for it to to finally do so and remind us that the exciting characters are Problems™ in this line of work. I'm really impressed.</p>

(incorporated in Delaware, U.S.; representative: Tomohide Kamei; CEO: Naomitsu Kodaka; herein referred to as TOM) will start accepting pre-orders for <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=19876">URAHARA</a></cite> x <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=109022">Luna Haruna</a></cite> Collaboration Slip-Ons at 10:00 a.m. on June 7, 2018(JST). The project is based on the anime <cite class="e anime">URAHARA</cite>, which aired in 2017.</p>
<p>The slip-ons were designed by <cite class="e person">Luna Haruna</cite>, one of the voice actresses in the anime,
and are TOM original goods. The left and right slip-ons are different colors and the motifs have been carefully picked by <cite class="e person">Luna Haruna</cite> herself.</p>

<p>About the <cite class="e anime">URAHARA</cite> Anime<br>
<cite class="e anime">URAHARA</cite> is a kawaii sci-fi girls' drama set in Harajuku!<br>
<cite class="e anime">URAHARA</cite> tells the story of three high school girls, Rito, Mari, and Kotoko, who open a limited-time shop called PARK in Harajuku during their spring break. There, they plan to sell the original fashion goods and sweets that they create, but their
goods are stolen by Scoopers. Scoopers are aliens that cannot create original items, so they must steal them. Through their fights with the Scoopers, Rito, Mari, and Kotoko look within themselves to understand their own creativity, why they want to create items, and what they are creating them for. By thinking about “what creativity is to them,” the girls are able to understand that their worries and troubles are what lead to their growth. The story has a gen eral theme that's personally applicable to anyone.</p>

<p>Whatever else you can say about it, <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=13001">Guilty Crown</a></cite> has guts. The series does things in its second half that more timid series wouldn't dare dream of doing. Reinventing itself repeatedly, killing off characters with cold efficiency, turning characters' roles inside out. The most unexpected people end up becoming stone-cold villains as the plot repeatedly veers off in new directions with a bare minimum of warning. You can blame <cite class="e anime">Guilty Crown</cite> of many things—a jumbled plot, lots of bad clichés, weak characters—but a lack of audacity is not one of them. </p>
<p>That audacity is on display from the very beginning of the new season. After the events of episodes eleven and twelve Shu's semi-normal life has been totally shredded and Tokyo left a toxic wasteland. The series has jumped from shonen action to full-on post-apocalyptic nightmare. You can't help but admire it for it. It's exciting to watch a show that's willing to move with that kind of speed and confidence. It's a setup full of interesting possibilities. As Shu's school grows isolated and pressure from the government quarantine builds the series takes the <i>Lord of the Flies</i> route (or more accurately the <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=411">Infinite Ryvius</a></cite> route), which is interesting in its own right. The school's world constricts down to the students and becomes a microcosm of society as political struggles take shape and familiar characters take on interesting new roles in the fledgling state.</p>
<p>At which point the series makes one of its bold leaps. It begins with a shock, a major death, and in the gap between the death and the next episode everything changes. It's the kind of development that would normally be exhilarating: a total revolution of the established order that sees Shu becoming the feared leader of an oppressive police state. Unfortunately it also sees <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=21259">Tetsuro Araki</a></cite> returning to some very bad habits. Thus far <cite class="e anime">Guilty Crown</cite> has found Araki in a slightly less hateful mode than usual, but like an unslayable beast the misanthropy that marred series like <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=6592">Death Note</a></cite> and <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=11271">Highschool of the Dead</a></cite> rears its ugly head again. It's like watching an addict relapse. You know that maybe it was inevitable but that doesn't make it any less tragic.</p>
<p>And we should have seen it coming. There were signs after all. The plan for a grossly unfair class system that one character proposes to Shu; a school election that unpleasantly implies that the student body is a mindless mob: weak, selfish, helpless without a superior specimen to lead them. But so far Araki has curbed his worst instincts, so hope springs eternal. Until the bold leap crushes it. What happens thereafter isn't that different from what happens in <cite class="e anime">Infinite Ryvius</cite>, from which the arc takes not only narrative cues but even some of its imagery (the lone leader, reviled by the masses, taking refuge in the embrace of his lady love). But it has a different tone: more vehement; cynical, ugly. <i>Ryvius</i> had sympathy for its characters and faith in their humanity. <cite class="e anime">Guilty Crown</cite> has neither. As the election implied, they're sheep—led like sheep, slaughtered like sheep. But nastier than sheep. Sheep don't turn on fellow sheep. </p>
<p>That's hardly the extent of the arc's alarming insinuations either. Social stratification is necessary; prejudice is inevitable; great stress brings out only the worst in people: arguably the arc implies it all. Thank god for that streak of audacity. <cite class="e anime">Guilty Crown</cite> being <cite class="e anime">Guilty Crown</cite>, it isn't long before it whips off in a completely different direction. The shift is perhaps even more shocking than the first, but it leads in a more conventional direction. An ally turns enemy, the good guys rally together, and everyone heads to the center of evil to rescue the girl. There's no room in that for misanthropic musings thank goodness, so the rest of the series passes without inducing further nausea. </p>
<p>But it also passes without ever fully engaging again. You can chalk that partly up to the more conventional plot, partly to a climax that interrupts itself with a long flashback (an interesting one to be sure, but still intrusive), but mostly to Shu and Inori. The second half of the season places their romance at its heart, but they're too underwritten to provide the necessary emotional weight. Shu is a lightweight do-gooder—“dark” Shu and the series' push to make him a Jesus-like savior notwithstanding. Inori is an automaton just now gaining alluring hints of humanity. It's hard to care enough about them to make the series' final episodes hit with the force that they're obviously intended to hit with. </p>
<p>They do hit though; not with the intended force, but with enough to make the finale a pleasantly tense, pleasantly emotional experience. What force events have, however, has very little to do with the characters or even the plot—which while full of interesting turns is too much of a whipsawing hodgepodge to really get up a head of steam. Most of what works in <cite class="e anime">Guilty Crown</cite> works purely because of its execution. Araki is a master of execution. His skills are easiest to spot in the action sequences. He has a thing for streamers—steamers of metallic substance as Voids emerge, streamers of ominous pink energy that ensnare the Earth itself—as well as the kind of self-conscious, leather-clad posturing that makes Japanese actors look like poseurs but works surprisingly well in animated format. He loves to swoop his “camera” and loves pure motion. Characters leap and clash and slash with fantastic fluidity. </p>
<p>He also loves to push things way over the top. Think organic missiles downing stealth fighters and gorgeous swirling orbs of energy fired like point-blank artillery. And it all works beautifully. His action scenes are feasts of visual excess as exciting as they are eye-popping …and ear-pleasing—they're often set to very pretty and increasingly well-utilized <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=74">insert songs</a></cite>. (The new OP and ED, by the way, are far less accomplished than their predecessors were—both visually and musically.)</p>
<p>But they aren't the only places where the show's execution triumphs over its content. Araki's grasp of the mechanics of suspense is second to none and he consistently organizes sequences whose nail-biting effects belie their short build-up and disposable and/or two-dimensional characters. He and his comrades at <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=337">Production I.G</a></cite> also have a great grasp of the dark side of human expression, plastering unpleasantly mobile masks of terror and rage and despair on the characters. It's part of the reason the police state episodes are so unpleasant. </p>
<p>They aren't so skilled at the softer emotions though. The series' sweeter scenes are more embarrassing than touching. But even some of them work, especially the devastating death scene that kicks off the police state episodes. Heck, even Inori and Sho, through some alchemy of character design (luscious in both cases) and music and voice acting, manage to pull off some surprisingly bittersweet scenes in the season's second half. The result is a show that's curiously engrossing and certainly highly entertaining but that doesn't command much respect. Engrossing and entertaining, that is, when it isn't wallowing in Araki's apparent hatred of the human race.</p>

The remake will be the 1,000th and 1,001st episodes of the anime. The site previously <a href="/news/2020-12-15/detective-conan-anime-to-remake-legendary-episode-to-mark-25th-anniversary/.167494">teased</a> a remake of a "legendary god-tier episode," as the "first part" of its celebration of the anime's 1,000th episode.</p>
<p>The original episode aired on April 8, 1996, and is notable for Conan vowing to not let even culprits die. The site unveiled a visual for the remake, a collage comprised of scenes from the original 11th episode.</p>

<p>Although this 2016 series is listed primarily as a magical girl series (which it unquestionably is), a more accurate way to describe it might be as a hybrid of magical girl and survival game series, as it has nearly as much in common with a <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=16008">King's Game</a></cite> or <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=22301">Darwin's Game</a></cite> as it does with darker-skewing magical girl series like <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=12120">Madoka Magica</a></cite> or <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=20511">Magical Girl Site</a></cite>. Hence while it's clearly made for fans of the latter, it could hold just as much appeal to fans of the former who are not necessarily also magical girl fans. At the very least, it won't come up short against any of these titles when it comes to bloody mayhem. That's both one of this series' selling points and one of its biggest problems.</p>
<p>Before even considering that, this series stands out amongst its peers in one significant way: the majority of the cast is not the traditional selection of elementary/middle high school girls that these series normally draw from. Some still are, including main protagonist Koyuki, but of the 16 named magical girls who appear, one of them is a boy who gender-swaps when he transforms, at least three are adult women (one as old as 39), and five are college-aged; Cranberry is also implied to be older, but her human form is never shown or described. The outfit designs for the magical girls are also vastly more diverse than normal. Snow White's modified school uniform look is probably the closest to traditional style, with the rest ranging from a ninja, nun, dragon girl, and witch to an android, Goth loli, pair of angels with single wings, and sexy cowgirl.</p>
<p>Beyond those aspects, the series is a roughly even mix of its genre components. The most interesting twist here is that the game at the heart of the story is not even supposed to be a death game; it's just become that way because of certain parties meddling with what is supposed to be a far less dangerous selection process to make it more thrilling. That turns game mascot character Fav into one of the biggest pricks in anime since <cite class="e anime">Madoka Magica</cite>'s Kyubey, the character he was very clearly modeled after; the only real difference is that Kyubey was amoral because of an utter inability to understand human emotions, while Fav seems to specifically get his jollies from screwing with the magical girls and manipulating them into thinking that they have to kill each other for survival, all because he was bored rather than because of any grand evil plot. Standing diametrically opposed is Koyuki/Snow White, who survives to the end essentially because she stays truest to the magical girl ideal, a fact that is not lost on the other magical girls. As the end of the series shows, however, what she goes through in the process ultimately has a big impact on her.</p>
<p>The plot more or less plays out in a standard death game progression: as participants start to realize that they can die as part of this game, peace goes out the window. More pacifistic types try to form factions to help everyone them through, while more opportunistic types start attacking to get advantages and take out perceived threats or (in one case) just get a good challenge. Background stories and looks at the “normal” lives of the magical girls other than Koyuki periodically pop up, often in accompaniment with the character dying or as a death flag for a character; predictably, these stories vary between Koyuki's generally content life and a happy lesbian couple on one end and some pretty awful circumstances (some of them self-induced, some not) on the other end. The order in which the girls die is not entirely predictable, with the biggest surprise being that the magical girl who looks like she's being set up as the final boss ends up getting whacked rather suddenly by an unexpected culprit, but picking out who the other last survivor is besides Snow White probably won't be too hard. To help them along, each of the girls also has a unique power, which in most cases is keyed to their personality or magical girl identity: the former thrill-seeking biker is a super-fast flyer, the knightly La Pucelle can manipulate her sword's size, Ruler can compel people to action, Snow White can sense the thoughts of those in trouble, and so forth.</p>
<p>The death game aspect assures that there will be a lot of battles, and the staging of those conflicts is a strong point for the series. Action animation, while not gloriously-detailed, is at least above average and lively enough to keep the fights tense and interesting. These scenes can also, at times, be almost shockingly graphic; in particular, Hardgore Alice's name should be taken to heart, but plenty of blood gets spilled by and from others. Three of the magical girls have outfits which show off prominent cleavage, but the series is practically devoid of <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=54">fan service</a></cite> beyond that. In general, the visual technical merits are solid without being particularly flashy. Audio technical merits do well with sound effects but impress much less with the soundtrack, with both the opener and closer also being wholly unremarkable.</p>
<p>Though the series aired in 2016, <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=6515">Funimation</a></cite> streamed an English <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=98">dub</a></cite> for it starting in the summer of 2018. It is a decent effort overall, with some performances being dramatically better than others. At the top of the scale is <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=150924">Madeleine Morris</a></cite>'s chirpy rendition of Fav; she never allows the character to break its upbeat tone even when saying some pretty evil things, and Fav comes off all the more despicable because of that. <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=190131">Lindsay Siedel</a></cite> also had a stand-out performance as the perpetually-energetic (but never quite over-the-top) Top Speed. On the downside, the Western drawl <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=132766">Mikaela Krantz</a></cite> tries to use for Calamity Mary doesn't quite work, and <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=165232">Macy Johnson</a></cite> seems very limited by Hardgore Alice. (In fairness, she didn't have much to work with there.)</p>
<p><cite class="e company">Funimation</cite> is providing the physical release in Blu-Ray form only, with access to a digital version included. The case comes in a slipcover with interior artwork featuring a duplicate of the cover art and a rendition of Nemurin, the dream-based magical girl. She also pops up in an on-disk Extra called “Nemurin Messages,” which is a trio of short holiday-themed greetings for Christmas, New Year's Day, and Valentine's Day. Other on-disk Extras include only clean opener and closer, a promo video, and web previews.</p>
<p>Although the series does a lot of other things at least relatively well, it is ultimately limited by problems with its tone. The story traffics in some very dark topics – terrorism, suicide, attempted molestation – in addition to its graphic and even grisly content, but even at its darkest it rarely feels as dark as it tries to show. Its night scenes are a little too bright, and the cute aspects clash with the darker elements in an unfavorable fashion. A series like this makes me appreciate even more just how delicate a balancing act <cite class="e anime">Madoka Magica</cite> pulled off by successfully integrating the cutesy magical girl aspect with its grimmer elements. It doesn't kill the concept by any means, especially with the twist about how things ending up bloody is not part of the original intent of the project, but it keeps this from being a memorable series. Fans of the source novels generally regard this story arc as being the <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=70">franchise</a></cite>'s weakest, but with several more novels existing and no word of a sequel in more than three years, this is probably all we're going to get in animated form.</p>

But when a local village becomes the center of social upheaval between warring daimyo, Yasuke must take up his sword and transport a mysterious child who is the target of dark forces and bloodthirsty warlords.

<blockquote>High school student Taiyou Asano has been socially inept ever since his family died in a car crash. The only person he can properly interact with is his childhood friend, Mutsumi Yozakura—the head of the world's strongest family of spies. Mutsumi's eldest brother, Kyouichirou Yozakura, has been overprotective of her ever since he once rendered her severely injured. His love for Mutsumi is lethal, and Taiyou is his next target. To survive, Taiyou must marry Mutsumi and become a member of the Yozakura family. Thrown headfirst into chaos, Taiyou begins his journey to become a powerful spy in order to protect his wife and uncover the dark secrets of his past and the Yozakura family.</blockquote>

That's autumn at the doorstep and with the changing of the season, all the spooks, terrors, and gory horror come out to romp. If you're a fan of the gruesome and bloody, <a href="https://ranking.goo.ne.jp/column/4607/ranking/50588/" target="_blank">Goo Ranking</a> readers weighed in on the top choices of <i>guro</i> anime, even for the squeamish. </p>
<p>The number one choice is unsurprisingly the fan-favorite <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=14950">Attack on Titan</a></cite>. If viewers can stomach giant humanoids feasting on characters as they succumb to despair, well, actually that's often the whole point. But there's also some great choreographed battle sequences utilizing the maneuver gear and a political world ridden with secrets to uncover.</p>
<p style="clear:left"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" border="1" class="fleft lazyload" width="300" height="169" data-src="/thumbnails/max300x600/cms/interest/121563/maxresdefault-10-.jpg">In second place is <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=16318">Tokyo Ghoul</a></cite>, another cannibalistic series that hit it off in the West thanks to macabre stylings and engaging face offs against some of anime's cruelest villains. </p>
<p>Third place went to <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=6134">When They Cry - Higurashi</a></cite>, a psychological horror series with an unreliable protagonist. In between playful school games, Keiichi and his misfit band of friends just might be paranoid trainwrecks murdering one another (or themselves) again and again until he figures out the perfect sequence of events to find the truth behind Hinamizawa Syndrome.</p>

<p></p>
<p>I'll assume that everyone reading this has seen the trailer for <i>Wreck-It Ralph</i>, as it stands at the magical nexus between animated films and video games. Many geeks are overjoyed at the variety of characters represented in the movie, which features a 1980s arcade-game villain in the midst of a career crisis. Some sensitive souls are quick to point out a problem in a scene where Ralph visits a bad-guy support group. See, it shows <i>Street Fighter</i>'s Zangief prominently, and Zangief isn't a villain. Well, not unless you count the live-action movie and the syndicated cartoon it inspired. But hey, he's Russian. That's close enough for a movie rooted deeply in '80s nostalgia. </p>
<p></p>
<center><img src="/img/spacer.gif" title="As I said in that podcast, I hate how easily this manipulated me. Characters? From VIDEO GAMES? In a DISNEY movie? MY LIFE IS COMPLETE." width="250" height="320" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/the-x-button/52351/ralph1.jpg" class="lazyload"></center>
<p></p>
<p>Others made an interesting observation about Ralph's little support group. Early shots of the scene showed Doctor Wily from the <i>Mega Man</i> series sitting next to Zangief and Bowser. In the trailer, however, Wily is nowhere to be seen. Conspiracy theories soon emerged: <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=624">CAPCOM</a></cite>, not content to cancel two of Mega Man's games and mock him in <i>Street Fighter X Tekken</i>, is now out to efface any positive exposure for their once-favored mascot. </p>
<p>
However, this doesn't appear to be <cite class="e company">CAPCOM</cite>'s doing. Christian Svensson, Corporate Officer and Senior V.P. at <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=17782">Capcom U.S.A.</a></cite>, stated on the company's forums that <cite class="e company">CAPCOM</cite> had nothing to do with Wily's disappearance. Perhaps Disney just didn't think him all that striking a villain in a room full of demon ninja and psychic dictators. Tough break, Mega Man. Even Disney thinks you're old-fashioned. </p>

<center><h2><b>E3 2012, PART II</b></h2></center>
<p>
<b><cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=1998">SQUARE ENIX</a></cite></b><br>
<cite class="e company">Square Enix</cite>'s prettiest E3 trinket wasn't a game—at least not yet. <i>Agni's Philosophy</i> is a tech demo that shows off Square's latest adventures in computer-rendered wonderlands. It's reportedly all done in real-time graphics, but no current system could actually run the trailer's full details: a magical cult summons a creature in a dusty mountainside temple, some armed men invade the ceremony, and one of the cult's acolytes, a red-clad young woman, takes off with some important crystal thingamajig. </p>
<p></p>
<center><img src="/img/spacer.gif" title="Final Fantasy XV, starring Supreme Commander Servalan of the Terran Federation." width="600" height="400" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/the-x-button/52351/agni1.jpg" class="lazyload"></center>
<p></p>
<p>It's all pretty much a standard <i>Final Fantasy</i> cutscene minus the actual plot, though some of the imagery recalls modern war simulators that deal with shooting terrorists in dusty villages. The sole interesting point comes in the last shot, which reveals there's a high-tech city on the other side of the mountains. Speculation's run rampant about <i>Agni's Philosophy</i> and its heroine being a test-drive for <i>Final Fantasy XV</i>. No such thing is confirmed, but anyone who liked the video can <a href="http://www.agnisphilosophy.com/en/" target="_blank">tell</a> Square that. </p>
<p></p>
<p>The other notable <cite class="e company">Square Enix</cite> announcement was much the opposite in terms of technology. <i>Final Fantasy Dimensions</i> is an iOS and Android game, and it looks deliberately primitive in order to sate those pangs of nostalgia for a time when <i>Final Fantasy IV</i> and <i>VI</i> were all you wanted in life. In fact, it's a bit too primitive, as the sprites and backgrounds have a stiff, flat-colored look that doesn't touch the more vibrant characters of <i>Final Fantasy VI</i>. </p>
<p> </p>
<center><img src="/img/spacer.gif" title="The strange thing? The promotional artwork for these characters was pretty good." width="600" height="400" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/the-x-button/52351/ffdimensions1.jpg" class="lazyload"></center>
<p></p>
<p>In its favor, Dimensions has the same job system that made <i>Final Fantasy V</i> (and to a lesser extent, <i>Final Fantasy III</i>) so memorable in gameplay. Characters can specialize in a variety of classes, including specific pursuits for Light-allied and Dark-allied characters. The game was originally released on Japanese cell phones as <i>Final Fantasy: Warriors of Light and Darkness</i>, and the main quest is supported by additional chapters that introduce new characters. It's out this July, so we'll see then if it's some subtle revenge on anyone who's complained too loud about the superiority of old-school Final Fantasies. </p>
<center><img src="/img/spacer.gif" title="And next in our 'This is Probably More Fun Than it Looks' gallery, we have..." width="600" height="400" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/the-x-button/52351/demons1.jpg" class="lazyload"></center>
<p></p>
<p>In fact, most of Square's E3 surprises were mobile titles. <i>Demon's Score</i> is a rhythmic shooter game in which an under-clad heroine and her familiar jet down castle hallways, all while the player taps the screen to neutralize enemies in time with the music. It's a bit like <i>Elite Beat Agents</i> with firearms and swords, and that comparison alone makes it one of the more intriguing titles in Square's stable. It's out for iOS and Android platforms this summer. </p>
<p></p>
<center><img src="/img/spacer.gif" title="Attack of The Rocky Horror Picture Show movie posters." width="600" height="400" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/the-x-button/52351/drakerider1.jpg" class="lazyload"></center>
<p></p>
<p>Another iOS and Android title, <i>Drakerider</i> stays closer to typical <cite class="e company">Square Enix</cite> outings, with a cast of typically styled anime-RPG characters. The gameplay, however, appears to include flying stages as well as some on-foot battles (or at least on-foot cutscenes) in a mix that recalls <i><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=190">Panzer Dragoon</a></cite></i> or the <i><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=3621">Drakengard</a></cite></i> series. It's also due out in the summer. </p>
<p></p>
<p><b><cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=79">SEGA</a></cite></b><br>
<cite class="e company">Sega</cite> had the most unlikely guest at E3: an actual Hatsune Miku game. Japan's green-haired, subtly unnerving virtual pop star appeared via <i>Hatsune Miku Project Diva f</i>, a rhythm title for the PS Vita. The demo had two translated songs for E3 goers to sample, delivered in Miku's electronic tones. </p>
<p></p>
<center><img src="/img/spacer.gif" title="Don't move. Her vision is based on movement. Just stay perfectly OH GOD SHE SAW US RUN FOR YOUR LIVES" width="600" height="340" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/the-x-button/52351/miku1.jpg" class="lazyload"></center>
<p></p>
<p>Yet this was not a preview of a Hatsune Miku game bound for North America. It was just a test of the public's interest in the whole property. The title arrives in Japan on September 30, and perhaps there'll be enough of a push to get it released here. At the very least, it was something new for the Vita at E3. </p>
<p></p>
<p><b><cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=1960">KONAMI</a></cite></b><br>
<i>Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance</i> drew most of the attention among <cite class="e company">Konami</cite>'s E3 showings, and it wasn't always in flattering terms. The game looks sharper than ever, as developer <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=12391">Platinum Games</a></cite> picked up the project from <cite class="e company">Konami</cite>'s internal teams and gave it an effective panache. Wearing the the cyborg-ninja getup seen in <i>Metal Gear Solid 4</i>, once-despised protagonist Raiden graphically cuts through soldiers and artillery, and the combat takes on a complexity that rivals Platinum's <i>Bayonetta</i>. </p>
<p> </p>
<center><img src="/img/spacer.gif" title="At the next E3, every company unveils games based on the song 'Kill A Kitten.'" width="600" height="400" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/the-x-button/52351/revengeance1.jpg" class="lazyload"></center>
<p></p>
<p>Yet it's seemingly contrary to the ideals of <i>Metal Gear Solid</i>, which always leavened its battlefield carnage with humorous asides and non-lethal methods of taking out foes. <i>Revengeance</i> apparently cares less for pacifism, encouraging players to sneak up on a soldier just to slice him in half and pull out a chunk of cybernetic spine for a power-up. The familiar <i>Metal Gear</i> cardboard box also appears, but now it's a place for enemies to hide—and Raiden can behead them as they cover in fear. Players could be nice and spare them, of course, but the brutality of <i>Revengeance</i> almost seems closer to God of War than anything Solid Snake ever did. </p>
<p>
<cite class="e company">Konami</cite> also rolled out <i><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=19668">Castlevania</a></cite>: Lords of Shadow 2</i>. No, not <i><cite class="e anime">Castlevania</cite>: Lords of Shadow: Mirror of Fate</i> for the 3DS. That one's a different game the middle of the <i>Lords of Shadow</i> sub-series. <i>Lords of Shadow 2</i> is the direct sequel to the Xbox 360 and <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=19354">PlayStation</a></cite> 3 game that reimagined the <i><cite class="e anime">Castlevania</cite></i> mythos in ways that did not sit well with some fans. But the results (and sales) sat well with <cite class="e company">Konami</cite>, so the sequel returns Gabriel Belmont to his life of fighting off creatures of the night. Developer Mercury Steam promises better combat this time around, plus an actual conclusion to this <i>Lords of Shadow</i> thing.</p>
<p></p>
<center><img src="/img/spacer.gif" title="Wait, wait, wait. What sort of animal or person did THAT skull come from?" width="600" height="360" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/the-x-button/52351/castlevania2.jpg" class="lazyload"></center>
<p></p>
<p>As for <i>Mirror of Fate</i> (above), it's shaping up to be a slightly more traditional take on <i><cite class="e anime">Castlevania</cite></i>, presenting a 2-D game with 3-D graphics. The developers are quick to emphasize that it's not a “Metroidvania” deal, but the game offers plenty of exploration as four different characters hack through Dracula's castle in various time periods. Trevor, Simon, and the newly announced Alucard fill three of those spots, with the fourth still unrevealed. Smart bets are on Maria or Richter. Or maybe Sonia Belmont, the former matriarch of the clan who was erased from the mainline <i><cite class="e anime">Castlevania</cite></i>'s continuity. </p>
<p>
<b><cite class="e company">CAPCOM</cite> </b><br>
There were few brand-new sights in <cite class="e company">CAPCOM</cite>'s lineup, though most of the previously announced titles looked decent, including <i>Resident Evil 6</i> and <i>Lost Planet 3</i>. Most contentious was the <i><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=6905">Devil May Cry</a></cite></i> reboot, or <i>DmC: <cite class="e anime">Devil May Cry</cite></i>, as it's called. In gameplay, it doesn't look so bad. The standard combat and boss battles give off an intensity similar to the better <i><cite class="e anime">Devil May Cry</cite></i> game, and developer Ninja Theory improved their style a bit from <i>Heavenly Sword</i> to <i>Enslaved</i>. </p>
<p> </p>
<center><img src="/img/spacer.gif" title="Is it too early to hate him?" width="600" height="338" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/the-x-button/52351/dmc1.jpg" class="lazyload"></center>
<p></p>
<p>The problem, however, is Dante's introduction. It's one of the most embarrassing displays of video-game “attitude” since the age of Bubsy and Awesome Possum. The reboot's half-angel, half-demon hero has all the appeal of a smug asshole teenager messing with the police during Spring Break, and the trailer reaches the point where one wonders if the whole thing is a parody. The original Dante was a bit of a jerk, but in a cheesy, comfortable manner borrowed from <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=95">Buichi Terasawa</a></cite>'s <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=2930">Cobra</a></cite>. <i>DmC</i>'s Dante acts as though he's based on the self-insert hero of some angry kid's webcomic. </p>
<p></p>
<p><b>NATSUME</b><br>
With much of E3 devoted to the collective bloodshed of <i>Splinter Medal Duty 3: Advanced Warpeople of Honor</i>, Natsume couldn't have chosen a better time to pull out a 3DS and mobile title called <i>Project Happiness: My Hometown</i>. it's the latest work of <i>Harvest Moon</i> creator Yasuhiro Wada, and it doesn't fall very far from his most famous projects. </p>
<p></p>
<center><img src="/img/spacer.gif" title="But we've all been tricked and the game is really based on TODD SOLONDZ'S HAPPINESS oh no no no" width="600" height="340" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/the-x-button/52351/happiness1.jpg" class="lazyload"></center>
<p></p>
<p>As in <i>Harvest Moon</i>, the player's male or female avatar makes his or her way in a gentle country town. But there's no farm to be tended. Instead, there's a store to be run, with all of the work that implies. The game's trailer is quite laid-back, the art's from <i>Pokemon</i>'s <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=18522">Atsuko Nishida</a></cite>, and <i>Final Fantasy</i>'s <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=5944">Nobuo Uematsu</a></cite> provides the soundtrack. For those who still prefer farming, Natsume plans to release <i>Harvest Moon: A New Beginning</i> for the 3DS later this year. </p>
<p></p>

I can't tell because I'm used to successful anime series inspiring a horde of fans demanding that everyone they know must watch the show, which in turn inspires other fans to claim that said series is overrated garbage. That never happened on a large scale for <i><cite class="e anime">Tiger & Bunny</cite></i>, but I suppose it must be a success, because now it's getting a PSP game. </p>

<p></p>
<p><i><cite class="e anime">Tiger & Bunny</cite>: On-Air Jack</i>, due out September 20, is a brawler in its PSP form, with players controlling corporate-sponsored superheroes Wild Tiger and, apparently, Barnaby Brooks Jr. in various urban battles. It's strange that they're the only playable characters shown in screenshots thus far, since the series had quite the lineup of superheroes. Perhaps they'll be revealed as the game near release. <i>On-Air Jack</i> also allows players to put screencaps of the game on social networks, and it'll be further promoted by mini-games on smartphones and websites. And for a show about corporate sponsorship compromising personal identity and social justice, that's somehow fitting. </p>

<b>PHANTOM BREAKER: BATTLE GROUNDS COMES TO NORTH AMERICA, POSSIBLY BEFORE THE FIRST PHANTOM BREAKER</b><br>
<i>Phantom Breaker</i> keeps missing release dates here in North America, and the latest slip has it coming out in August or September. Developer <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=8880">5pb.</a></cite> is unfazed by this (or the Japanese version's icy reception), and they're putting together an <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=9379">XBox Live</a></cite> Arcade brawler in the vein of <i>Castle Crashers</i> and <i>Guardian Heroes</i>. It's headed to these shores, judging by its <a href="http://5pb.jp/games/pbbg/en/" target="_blank">official site</a>. </p>

<p></p>
<p><i>Phantom Breaker: Battlegrounds: Cocoa's Nightmare Attack</i> fashions a four-player slugfest using Mikoto, Waka, Itsuki, and Yuzuha from the original <i>Phantom Breaker</i>. In big-headed form, the heroines trudge through cities and hack away at similarly deformed thugs. The game's four-player capabilities are found in both the main drag and the extra battle royale. It's due out in 2013, which will put it well after the U.S. release of the first <i>Phantom Breaker</i>. Probably. </p>

<b>POKEMON CONQUEST </b><br>
<img src="/img/spacer.gif" title="Uh-oh, the Jigglypuff has Kirby-itis, an incurable disease that makes cute Nintendo characters scowl all the time." border="1" class="fleft lazyload" width="300" height="267" data-src="/thumbnails/max300x600/cms/the-x-button/52351/conquestcover.jpg">
<b>Developer:</b> <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=10459">Tecmo</a></cite> <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=3028">KOEI</a></cite><br>

<b>MSRP:</b> $29.99 <p>
<cite class="e company">Nintendo</cite> endures frequent complaints that the <i>Pokemon</i> series has ossified, maintaining a steady and predictable flow of cute little RPGs about cute little pet monsters. Well, <cite class="e company">Nintendo</cite> found a fix for its repetitive <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=70">franchise</a></cite>: blend it with another company's repetitive <cite class="e lexicon">franchise</cite>. <i>Pokemon Conquest</i> is greatly inspired by <i>Nobunaga's Ambition</i> and other <cite class="e company">KOEI</cite>-made games about feudal Japan, and it sprinkles the cartoonish creatures all over the noble lords and tragically doomed retainers of 16th-century Japan. As with many a <i>Pokemon</i> game, you choose a male or female avatar and set out on a quest to defeat other <i>Pokemon</i> trainers and their collections of brawlsome animals. In <i>Conquest</i>, however, your opponents are all warlords and warriors somehow connected to Oda Nobunaga (who was history's greatest villain if anime and video games are any indication). Most of these warlords join your side once defeated, and it's all part of assembling an army capable of defeating Nobunaga and his Zekrom. Sure, historians have yet to concede that Hideyoshi Toyotomi chummed around with an apelike Monferno or that Gracia Hosokawa owned a pink, tapir-like pet called a “Munna,” but those historians don't known everything. </p>
<p>
The gameplay of <i>Pokemon Conquest</i> blends the two franchises accordingly. Players move around maps that depict the various fortresses and battlefields of a nation at war, and the actual combat unfolds as Pokemon are deployed in strategic form. With their warlord trainers looking on, the creatures unleash their attacks and special moves, and it's a pleasantly expanded change for those who remember only the limited one-on-one duels of the original Pokemon. It's hardly as complex as a full <cite class="e company">KOEI</cite> war simulation, and <cite class="e company">Nintendo</cite>'s open about targeting younger players with <i>Pokemon Conquest</i>. Kids should learn about the gruesome struggle to unify feudal Japan, even if it's done through the eyes of a Pikachu. </p>

<b>STEEL BATTALION: HEAVY ARMOR </b><br>
<img src="/img/spacer.gif" title="This title text is dedicated to Brian 'Bargora' Bargmeyer, the best Steel Battalion player I ever knew." border="1" class="fleft lazyload" width="300" height="427" data-src="/thumbnails/max300x600/cms/the-x-button/52351/steelcover.jpg">
<b>Developer:</b> From Software<br>
<b>Publisher:</b> <cite class="e company">CAPCOM</cite><br>
<b>Platform:</b> Xbox 360 (Kinect)<br>
<b>Players:</b> 1-4<br>
<b>MSRP:</b> $59.99 <p>
The original <i>Steel Battalion</i> was something to see. The game itself was a relatively realistic <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=100">mecha</a></cite> simulator, but its controller was the true wonder: a massive three-panel array that did its best to recreate the cockpit of a military-grade giant robot, right down to the foot pedals and the shielded eject button (which had to be pressed before your machine exploded, or else your entire game was over). <i>Steel Battalion</i> and its online-only sequel were mad, indulgent experiments by producer Atsushi Inaba (<i>God Hand</i>, <i>Infinite Space</i>), and we thought we'd never see its like again. We were partly right. <cite class="e company">CAPCOM</cite>'s never making another controller that dwarfs the console it connects to, but they don't have to do that to revive <i>Steel Battalion</i>. This time, the motion-sensing Kinect provides the interface for Heavy Armor. </p>
<p>
<i>Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor</i> isn't entirely bound to the Kinect, however. Set in a future where microbes threw technology back to the combustion engine, the game puts you at the helm of a walking tank, with a crew to command and a full cockpit to navigate. The tank's basic motions are handled with an actual controller, but the motion-sensor comes into play for the game's most interesting parts. When you're gesturing around, you're dousing fires in the cockpit, dropping down to repair a piece of the lumbering tank, popping open the hatch to shoot enemy boarders, pulling pieces of shrapnel from your crewmates, or perhaps even slapping them to calm them down. <i>Heavy Armor</i>'s world gives off the 1950s grit of <i>Ring of Red</i> more than the computerized tone of the original <i>Steel Battalion</i>, but there's no question that the same boundaries are being pushed here. A four-player mode is also available, though the Kinect apparently won't allow you to hive-five other people through <cite class="e company">XBox Live</cite>.

According to the site, the move was initiated because the Screen Gems studio <a href="http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/news/topnews.php?id=13110" target="_blank">pushed</a> back its <cite>Resident Evil: Afterlife</cite> movie from August 27, 2010, to January 14, 2011. <cite>Resident Evil</cite> star Milla Jovovich initially <a href="https://twitter.com/MillaJovovich/status/6436581424" target="_blank">denied</a> the date changes on Monday, but has since <a href="https://twitter.com/MillaJovovich/status/6479599559" target="_blank">acknowledged</a> them on Tuesday. </p>
<p><cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=11">Tokyopop</a></cite> released the original <cite class="e lexicon">manhwa</cite> in North America. The publisher <a href="/news/2009-09-25/tokyopop-to-print-priest/purgaratory-in-2010">announced</a> at New York Anime Festival in September that it would publish <cite><cite class="e anime">Priest</cite>: Purgatory</cite>, an original graphic novel that will bridge the <cite class="e lexicon">manhwa</cite> and the live-action movie adaptation, in 2010.</p>
<p>The film stars <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=86037">Paul Bettany</a></cite> (<i>A Beautiful Mind, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, The Da Vinci Code</i>), <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=86038">Cam Gigandet</a></cite> (<i>Twilight, The O.C.</i>), <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=86039">Maggie Q</a></cite> (<i>Mission: Impossible III, Live Free or Die Hard, King of Fighters</i>), <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=86040">Karl Urban</a></cite> (<i>Star Trek, The Lord of the Rings, The Bourne Supremacy</i>), <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=113237">Stephen Moyer</a></cite> (<i>True Blood, The Starter Wife</i>), <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=86041">Lily Collins</a></cite> (<i>90210, The Blind Side</i>), <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=113238">Christopher Plummer</a></cite> (<i>The Sound of Music, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, The Insider, A Beautiful Mind, Up, 9</i>), <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=113236">Brad Dourif</a></cite> (<i>The Lord of the Rings, Halloween II, Deadwood</i>) and Madchen Amick (<i>Twin Peaks, Californication, Gossip Girl</i>).</p>
<p>The <cite class="e lexicon">manhwa</cite> tells the story of an expert in ancient languages who accidentally resurrects an angel from Hell, Temozareal. The man is forced to sell his soul to the Devil in a attempt to correct his mistake. <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=86042">Cory Goodman</a></cite> (The Brood) wrote the movie adaptation's script. According to <cite>Variety</cite> and <cite>The Hollywood Reporter</cite>, the film version "is set in a world ravaged by war between man and vampire." Bettany stars as a pri<cite></cite>est hunting down vampires who have kidnapped his niece (Collins).</p>

<p style="clear:right"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" class="fright lazyload" width="300" height="168" border="1" data-src="/thumbnails/max300x600/cms/episode-review/83427/gourmetgirlep1.jpg">The average slice of life anime series is pretty easy to watch. Nice people are pleasant to one another in a pretty location for half an hour at a time, offering the escapist appeal of fiction without the emotional rollercoaster of an actual plot. Being good-natured and sentimental to a fault, it's unusual for shows in this genre to court any kind of controversy. After all, what's there to argue about when a story consists entirely of likable characters doing mundane things?</p>
<p>I bring this up because I'm not so sure <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=16131">Gourmet Girl Graffiti</a></cite> is an “average” slice of life series.</p>
<p>While the premise is simple (girls hang out and eat good food), there's one element of the execution that will likely fuel a season's worth of arguments. Every time the characters eat, things get, well, sensual. There's certainly an emphasis placed on the taste and texture of the food, but there's also an unexpected amount of sexuality at play in the girls' reactions to it. The show even calls itself out on the practice during the first episode by having one character describe another's eating habits as “kind of sexy.”</p>
<p>Viewers' reactions to this unusual detail are likely to be all over the map. Depending on your personal tastes, you may see it as not a big deal, amusingly bizarre, kind of unsettling, or sleazy to the point of being a deal-breaker. Heck, you might even agree with the script's assertion that it's kind of sexy. Personally, I just find it odd and distracting. There's nothing truly explicit to call out, so your best bet is to watch an episode and judge for yourself.</p>
<p>Assuming that your reaction to its unique quirk is neutral or better, <cite class="e anime">Gourmet Girl Graffiti</cite> makes for a reasonably pleasant experience. The food itself looks fantastic, and viewers with an interest in cooking will likely get swept up in the details that go into each dish. The show also has a lot to say about the value of eating with other people, a sentiment that seems to be shared across a wide variety of cultures. There's a fair amount of character humor, but it typically aims for smiles instead of outright laughter. The background art is frequently gorgeous, with some beautiful festival stalls and cherry trees on display in the second episode.</p>
<p>It's worth noting that <cite class="e anime">Gourmet Girl Graffiti</cite> has some yuri undertones, especially in the relationship between Kirin and Ryou. It's there if you look for it in the first episode, but it's pretty hard to miss in the second. It seems unlikely that the script will take any of this beyond the blushing, unstated friend-crush level, but anyone with a side job in the shipping industry is liable to have a field day. Unless you really love or hate this sort of thing, it's unlikely to affect your opinion of the series as a whole though.</p>
<p><cite class="e anime">Gourmet Girl Graffiti</cite> is an oddity, and its unique approach to <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=54">fanservice</a></cite> won't suit all tastes. If you prefer your slice of life shows served without a side of sex appeal, you'll be better served elsewhere. If you don't mind the combination, then there are some fairly compelling reasons to stick around. The culinary appeal alone is worth giving it a shot. Just be careful not to watch it right before you make a trip to the grocery store, lest you return with a bunch of ingredients for dishes you don't actually know how to make.</p>

<p>Le temps est compté, Atsushi et Akutagawa poursuivent le maître du virus. Et même si Dazai ne le sait pas, ils sont infectés. Leur mission est d'attraper ce bonhomme à la botte tandis que lui se charge de Fiodor. Mais cela ne va pas être si simple. Ils vont tomber sur un os, enfin, plutôt un roc. Dans la bande de Fiodor Dostoïevski, voici Ivan G., totalement dévoué à son maître. Complètement fou, ce personnage a mis son pouvoir au service total et aveugle de Fiodor. Il maîtrise la pierre et se fait protéger par un immense golem de rocs. Face à lui, le tigre-garou et Gilgamesh vont en baver et ne trouveront l'issue que dans l'union, que dis-je, la fusion. Après s'être essayés à toutes les parades et littéralement incapables de bouger, ils vont unir leurs pouvoirs. Akutagawa transfère une partie de sa force à Atsushi. <br>On découvre alors que le tigre-garou à des griffes qui annulent les dons. S'étant emparés d'Ivan, ils découvrent alors un quartier général vide, un endroit cosy dont sort uniquement la musique,. Ils apprennent ainsi du Slave barge. On a droit à un combat bien ficelé et efficace. Et comme dans toute histoire de détective, à la fin, c'est Dazai qui remporte la manche. Décidément, ces fichus chiens errants sont toujours aussi efficace. On comprend surtout pourquoi associer ces deux chiens fous était une sacrée riche idée, de celles qui réussissent à sauver les chefs du virus et à arrêter les délires du grand Fiodor Dostoïevski. Un être dont in fine on ne saura jamais vraiment quel était le talent. Tout est bien qui finit pourtant bien pour l'Agence. </p>

He explained that he wanted the anime to be seen by a wide audience and that he did not want to limit the appeal.</p>
<p>He stressed that this was his only major request, mentioning that seeing the anime staff face-to-face was "the most nerve-wracking" experience in his life.</p>
<p>Shiraishi expressed his pleasure with the anime, stating that concept designer <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=186972">Kazumasa Nishio</a></cite>'s drawings were "magnitudes more beautiful and lush than what I was imagining in my head." He also praised the work of the voice actors and the ending theme song vocalist <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=104664">ChouCho</a></cite>. </p>
<p>The interview also addresses some of the overseas reception to the anime's trailers. Shiraishi said that he has seen comments from people from Asian regions like South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, China, and even from western regions like North America. He professed a deep fondness for overseas dramas, particularly from England, and has incorporated some of that appeal into <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=22294">Wandering Witch</a></cite></cite>. "I hope that this aspect resonates with the overseas audience as well," he said.</p>
<p>As for what to expect from the series going forward, Shiraishi had some brief comments to spare. He said that he is particularly looking forward to episode 4, which will include "an absurdly huge monster" that he wonders how the anime will handle it. The last episode will be a story that he greatly enjoyed writing when he was first writing it for the GA Novels' published release. </p>
<p>As for the ending for the light novels, he thinks that the final story will probably be about Elaina's hometown. He also shared how the short story format of the original novels are inspired by crime dramas, and that this influence is one of the reasons he likes writing stories where the guest characters don't always get a happy ending. Even though he doesn't want every story to be bleak, he plans to include one story in each volume where there is no salvation for the characters. He describes the novels as "a short story anthology about Elaina's journey, which offers a broad range of moods, with both levity and darkness at times."</p>
<p><cite class="e person">Jougi Shiraishi</cite> first launched the <cite class="e anime">Wandering Witch - The Journey of Elaina</cite> in 2014 as a series of self-published books on Amazon Kindle. <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=15217">SB Creative</a></cite> published the first novel in April 2016 and the 13th volume on July 14. The 14th volume will ship on October 14.</p>
<p><cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=6612">Yen Press</a></cite> <a href="/news/2019-07-04/yen-press-adds-the-hero-is-overpowered-but-overly-cautious-13-more-manga-novels/.148643">publishes</a> the light novel series in English, and it describes the story:
</p>
<blockquote>Once upon a time, there was a witch named Elaina, who set off on a journey
across the world. Along the way, she would meet all kinds of people, from a country full
of witches to a giant in love with his own muscles—but with each meeting, Elaina would
become a small part of their story, and her own world would get a little bit bigger.</blockquote>
<p>The anime <a href="/news/2020-07-03/wandering-witch-the-journey-of-elaina-tv-anime-2nd-video-unveils-more-cast-ending-song-artist-/.161392">premiered</a> on Friday. <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=7732">Toshiyuki Kubooka</a></cite> (<cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=20318">Harukana Receive</a></cite>, <cite>Berserk</cite> film trilogy) is directing the anime at <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=8078">C2C</a></cite>, and <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=16992">Kazuyuki Fudeyasu</a></cite> is supervising and writing the series scripts. <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=49909">Takeshi Oda</a></cite> is adapting <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=190130">Azuru</a></cite>'s original character art for animation, and <cite class="e person">Kazumasa Nishio</cite> is credited with concept designs.</p>

<hr>
<div class="meat">
<p>As light novel fans (or most anime fans, given how often light novels are adapted into anime) can tell you, the current trend is towards longer and longer titles, the better for time-pressed browsers to glean the plot at a glance. The results can be pretty strange, like <i>What If the Girl Manager of a High School Baseball Team Read Drucker's Management?</i> (<cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=12059">Moshidora</a></cite>) or <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=16446">Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?</a></cite> The light novel titles for the books set for publication in the next two months continue this tradition — as well as shed some light on the interests of the light novel demographic.<img src="/img/spacer.gif" border="1" class="fright lazyload" width="300" height="426" data-src="/thumbnails/max300x600/cms/interest/110805/510urukf2tl._sx349_bo1204203200_.jpg">

<p>If that last title seems especially long, that's because it is: this novel, due for publication by <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=16544">Dengeki Bunko</a></cite> on March 10, has the longest light novel title ever at 69 characters long, including punctuation. As the title suggests, its protagonist is a giant fashionista who has to help his childhood friend out when she comes to high school overdressed. </p>
<p>Meanwhile, <i>Do You Like Your Mom?</i>, slated for publication on January 20, has won the 29th Fantasia Grand Prize, an annual award given to novels published by Fujimi <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=7925">Fantasia Bunko</a></cite>. The novel follows a high school boy who, like many others in his genre, is transported into a video game... but so is his mother, who not only is fiercely devoted to him, but is very helpful in combat.</p>

<h2><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=15609">Bayonetta: Bloody Fate</a></cite></h2>
<blockquote>Her name is Bayonetta. She is one of ‘the witches’ – a huntress of Angels – and this is her only memory of the past. When she receives information that a clue may lie in waiting in the sacred city of Vigrid, Bayonetta sets out on a perilous journey.
En route, Bayonetta experiences a series of strange encounters with a mysterious lady who holds cryptic hints about her past, a male journalist who implicates Bayonetta in the death of his father and a young girl who openly adores her, referring to her as ‘mommy’.<p>What secrets do Bayonetta's lost memory hold and what fate lies in waiting?</p>

<h2><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=481">Laputa: Castle in the Sky</a></cite></h2>
<p>In a world where human civilization reached for the sky and founded giant floating cities, the remainder of humanity now lives on the ground, destined to look up and wonder. When Sheeta literally floats down from the sky into Pazu's arms, she starts a adventure with air pirates, government secret agents and floating castles for the future of humanity.</p>
<p>This is <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=60">Studio Ghibli</a></cite>'s first feature film that was originally released to Japanese cinemas in 1986. The film was created, scripted, designed and directed by <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=51">Hayao Miyazaki</a></cite> with a score by <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=1196">Joe Hisaishi</a></cite>, animation direction and additional character design by <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=2218">Tsukasa Tannai</a></cite> and art direction from <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=1698">Nizo Yamamoto</a></cite> and <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=2223">Toshiro Nozaki</a></cite>.</p>
<p>The film is of course <a href="http://www.madman.com.au/studioghibli/collection/laputa/" target="_blank">available on DVD</a> and Blu-ray from <cite class="e company">Madman Entertainment</cite>, but the ability to watch <cite class="e anime">Laputa: Castle in the Sky</cite> on the big screen does not often appear.</p>
<p>The film will be screened on Saturday the 5th of April at 3:00pm in either English <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=98">dub</a></cite> or in Japanese with English subs and this will be the first time the film has been screened in Australia.

<p style="clear:right"><img src="https://animenewsnetwork.com/thumbnails/max400x400/cms/episode-review.3/187877/uncle3.jpg" class="fright" border="1">After all the setup and character introduction in the last two episodes, this episode was finally free to play around with it all. I have to say, going in, I expected that this episode would be nothing more than a collection of random jokes and humorous situations (not that that's a bad thing or anything). What I did not expect was a solid theme tying all the silliness together. You see, this episode is actually a rather meaty exploration of empathy. </p>
<p>Uncle, seeking to help Fujimiya better understand her feelings for Takafumi, turns himself into a woman—Elf, specifically. And as he states, doing so for a prolonged period of time is dangerous, as his mind will literally change to fit its new container. Thus, as the episode goes on, he begins to feel more and more of the kind of things Elf must have been feeling all the time behind her tsundere exterior—though, as expected from someone as dense as Uncle, he isn't able to truly make that logical connection.</p>
<p>On the other side of things, we have Fujimiya seeing just how vastly her memories of her childhood with Takafumi clash with his own. In her mind, she and Takafumi were inseparable pals. To Takafumi, however, she's a tomboyish bully, constantly picking on him and making his school life a living hell. It's so bad that she can't even recognize herself in those memories. While it's a shock, it does help her realize why he doesn't seem romantically interested in her. To her, they have a deep, pre-established connection which makes her feel attracted to him. But for any relationship to occur she needs to overcome his already ingrained view of her as she was in their childhood. She needs to show him she is not the bully she once was.</p>
<p>Finally, the episode explores the idea of empathy on the internet. From the start, Uncle's <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=8245">YouTube</a></cite> channel has been filled with haters who either mock him or call him a fake—and he treats this just as he would if someone came up to him on the street and said these things in person. He doesn't yet understand that, when it comes to online comment sections, negative comments are often more common than positive ones. This is simply due to human nature—hate drives people to action faster than joy. And while Takafumi may know this—hence his cynicism towards commenters—what he doesn't understand is that the vast majority of people don't comment at all. They watch, enjoy, and move on without another thought. And while typing a comment may not cross their minds, clicking the subscribe button as a sign of support or agreement may not be too big of an ask. (There's a reason why every YouTuber asks you to like, subscribe, and hit the bell every video: it works.) </p>
<p>So, in the end, Uncle sees the world through Elf's eyes, Fujimiya learns that her memories of the past aren't objective truth, and Takafumi is reminded that most people, even those online, are just normal people—and not the endless mass of trolls he fears them to be. Empathy, people! What a concept!</p>

<p><b>Random Thoughts:</b></p>
<p>• Elf doesn't need a lesson in empathy—she's already a master. She knows that Uncle had no malice in destroying the barrier and so she protects him when the townspeople are about to attack him after he fixes it.</p>
<p>• Poor Elf and her epic last-stand-turned-faceplant, though.</p>
<p>• Look, I'm sure many bullies grow up to be good people—but when you were the bullied one, it's hard to ever see them as anything different. Good luck Fujimiya, you're going to need it.</p>
<p>• I'm happy to see that the “Fujimiya doesn't know about Uncles magic powers” gag is now dead and gone. Two episodes of it was quite enjoyable but any more would have been beating a dead horse.</p>
<p>• Looking at the visuals for the anime, I was expecting Elf to appear in the real world as well, but it's clear now that it's just Uncle transformed. Which raises the question: How did he get back to our world and why didn't Elf try to follow?</p>

<p>When it comes down to it, <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=25057">Suzume no Tojimari</a></cite> is the story of a girl on a literal journey to overcome her deeply seated trauma—a trauma she shares with a sizable portion of Japan. <cite class="e anime">Suzume</cite> is a survivor of the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake. But while she survived, her mother did not. Though she appears to be a typical, happy teen, this is her mask—her barrier against the world. <cite class="e anime">Suzume</cite> doesn't let people in—not her school friends and not even the aunt she's lived with for a decade. Sure, thanks to the distance she has created, she'll never be hurt like she was at the loss of her mother, but at the same time, she is unable to truly heal. </p>
<p>Yet, while this deeply seated emotional pain is at the core of this film, it's a rather optimistic story. Throughout her journey, <cite class="e anime">Suzume</cite> is forced to rely on the kindness of total strangers again and again. Each time, they open their homes and hearts to her—despite not knowing each other at all. </p>
<p>At the same time, her connection grows with the chair-ified Souta as he is forced to rely on her to get where they need to go. Fighting supernatural forces that no one else knows about forms a strong bond between the two—one unlike any she has had since her mom's death. The longer they travel together, the more unwilling she is to lose him. Yet, it doesn't take a genius to tell that being separated from his body isn't healthy for him. And all too soon, she is forced to confront loss again—both that of her mother and potentially Souta.</p>
<p>Overall, <cite class="e anime">Suzume no Tojimari</cite> follows the same three-act structure used in writer-director <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=3487">Makoto Shinkai</a></cite>'s other films, <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=18171">your name.</a></cite> and <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=22137">Weathering With You</a></cite>. The first act introduces the supernatural and is filled with a large helping of lighthearted comedy. In the second act, things get increasingly more serious as a significant threat is revealed—and seemingly resolved. The third and final act is then spent dealing with the unforeseen consequences and revelations of the second act—with our hero fighting to regain what has been lost.</p>
<p>While this structure makes for a solid film full of twists and turns, it is also predictable. If you've seen <cite class="e anime">your name.</cite> and <cite class="e anime">Weathering With You</cite>, you know exactly where this film is going at any moment—even if the specifics of the plot are different. This, in turn, blunts the film's emotional effect somewhat—which is a shame as playing on your emotions is the film's bread and butter. </p>
<p>But while the film's framework is the same as Shinkai's previous offerings, it has one major departure that massively changes how the audience interacts with the film. There's no real villain in <cite class="e anime">your name.</cite> and <cite class="e anime">Weathering With You</cite>—unless you consider natural disasters and faceless gods to be villains. <cite class="e anime">Suzume no Tojimari</cite>, on the other hand, has its villain in the form of Daijin. And while Daijin may be a cat, the fact that it can be both communicated with and confronted adds a whole extra layer to the story. What is Daijin? Why is it obsessed with <cite class="e anime">Suzume</cite>? Why did it turn Souta into a chair? Why is it going to one door after another all over the country? All these questions have concrete answers—well, as long as Daijin deigns to answer anyway. Because of this, Daijin serves to give the plot an extra level of focus. It's a goal, an antagonist, and a mystery all in one—and one that keeps the story moving whenever things threaten to slow down for too long. </p>
<p>On the visual side of things, there is a brilliant use of light and color throughout <cite class="e anime">Suzume no Tojimari</cite> —especially when it comes to the world on the other side of the door with its visual paradox of both sunlight and a star-filled sky. Overall, the film looks just as amazing as you'd expect for a <cite class="e person">Makoto Shinkai</cite> film—with one notable exception. Unlike the other creatures in the film, the eldritch entity <cite class="e anime">Suzume</cite> encounters in Tokyo looks decidedly fake in wide shots—like a cheap CG effect placed over the otherwise quality animation and blended poorly. It clashes so severely that it distracts from what should be one of the film's most important, emotional moments. Luckily, this is the single visual misstep in an otherwise beautifully animated film.</p>
<p>The film's music likewise lives up to the expectations set by <cite class="e person">Makoto Shinkai</cite>'s other recent films. Once again, the soundtrack is primarily penned by the band <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=150880">RADWIMPS</a></cite>, though it is more haunting and mystical than the alt-rock they're famous for. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the film's main reoccurring song, “<cite class="e anime">Suzume</cite>,” which contains mainly strings, piano, and percussion—along with a backup choir acting as an additional instrument to guest singer Toka's wilting vocals. It's an earworm if there ever was one and perfectly matches the otherworldly mood of the film. </p>
<p>All in all, <cite class="e anime">Suzume no Tojimari</cite> is a fantastic movie. The story has great characters and is laser targeted to make you laugh and cry. Thematically, it is a solid exploration of coming to terms with loss and learning to let people in. The visuals are stunning, and it has the music to match. If there is one downside to the film, however, it follows in the footsteps of its famous siblings <cite class="e anime">your name.</cite> and <cite class="e anime">Weathering With You</cite> a little too closely—to the point that it makes the film more predictable. That said, it's hard not to be caught up in this film's tornado of spectacle and emotion when all is said and done.</p>

<p>Targeting women envious of Fujiko Mine's bust, lingerie maker Wacoal is teaming up with <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=3053">Lupin III</a></cite> to <a href="http://store.wacoal.jp/ft/fujiko-amphi/index.jsp" target="_blank">sell</a> the latest frilly underwear. Wacoal's Amphi brand is <a href="http://www.amphi.jp/fujiko/" target="_blank">offering</a> new Glamarichi Bras with the help of Fujiko herself.</p>

<p>The new Glamarichi Bras are available in two types in a variety of colors. Both versions feature three kinds of "power cushions" in a five-panel structure to give wearers' chests an extra boost. The bras cost 4,200 yen (about US$40) each, and matching panties and camisoles are available. </p>
<p>In conjunction with the release, Amphi's official website is hosting a "<cite class="e anime">Lupin III</cite> Boyfriend Quiz." The short quiz determines whether Lupin, Jigen, Goemon, or Zenigata is the taker's best match as a boyfriend. A Twitter campaign will chose 30 people who tweet their results to receive a Glamarichi Bra. In addition, everyone who takes the quiz receives a free smartphone wallpaper. </p>

The final page of the chapter revealed that the next arc of the manga will be the manga's final arc. The arc will be titled "Shōwa Sekigahara-hen."</p>
<p><cite class="e anime">Otoko-Zaka</cite>'s initial eight-chapter <a href="/news/2014-05-01/saint-seiya-kurumada-brings-back-otoko-zaka-manga-3-decades-later">revival</a> began in Shū Play News, the official website of <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=909">Shueisha</a></cite>'s <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=27635">Weekly Playboy</a></cite></cite> magazine, in June 2014 after three decades of hiatus.</p>
<p>The manga <a href="/news/2017-06-10/otoko-zaka-manga-moves-to-shonen-jump-with-new-arc-in-july/.117237">moved</a> to <cite><cite class="e anime">Shonen Jump+</cite></cite> in 2017 with the "Keikai Otome" arc. The next arc, "Tenkataihei-hen" (Peace and Tranquility Arc), then <a href="/news/2018-08-15/otoko-zaka-manga-begins-next-arc-on-august-18/.135495">launched</a> in August 2018 and ran for seven chapters. The arc was compiled in the manga's eighth compiled book volume in November 2018. The next arc was "Takeshima Honjin-hen," which <a href="/news/2020-01-17/otoko-zaka-manga-begins-new-arc-in-february/.155460">launched</a> on February 9 and <a href="/news/2020-03-29/masami-kurumada-otoko-zaka-manga-ends-latest-arc-starts-new-arc-in-early-summer/.158080">ended</a> on March 29. The "Honjin Shitō-hen" arc <a href="/daily-briefs/2020-06-25/otoko-zaka-manga-honjin-shito-hen-arc-launches-on-july-4/.161073">launched</a> on July 4.</p>
<p>The manga's story is set in the town of Kujūkuri in Chiba. Jingi Kikukawa is the unrivaled alpha male of the Tōun Middle School student body, and he has never lost a fight in 13 years. However, he goes down in defeat against Shō Takeshima, the ringleader in Western Japan who has his sights on the entire country. Jingi undergoes dangerous training in the art of fighting with Kenka-Oni, a demon who lives in Oniyama.</p>
<p>Kurumada (<cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=1829">Saint Seiya</a></cite></cite>, <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=4138">Ring ni Kakero</a></cite></cite>) first serialized the manga in <cite class="e company">Shueisha</cite>'s <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=1363">Weekly Shonen Jump</a></cite></cite> magazine from 1984 to 1985. He said, "I became a manga creator to draw this manga." However, the series remained incomplete at three volumes for nearly 30 years. The manga never inspired an anime, but <cite>Seisei Ruten: Kurumada-ism</cite>, a 2005 CD of songs with lyrics written by Kurumada, featured an "Otoko-Zaka" song.</p>

<p>The biggest news about this volume? <i>Something finally happens.</i> And I'm not just talking about the long-awaited moment where Aoi and Kaoru finally tell their secrets to someone beyond <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=274406">Miyabi</a></cite>, either.</p>
<p><i><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=2581">Ai Yori Aoshi</a></cite></i> has always been a perfectly pleasant read sprinkled with liberal dashes of <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=54">fan service</a></cite>, but for the last several volumes it has also been rather dull. Sure, a lot of the entertainment value of both the anime and manga versions comes from seeing Kaoru and all the girls in those slice-of-life moments, but those can only go so far, especially with the series recently shading towards a more serious focus. Even a series like this has to at least occasionally have plot developments, and of late true advancements of the storyline have been happening with glacial speed. Kaoru went back to the Hanabishi to confront his grandfather in a story that proved anticlimactic (but is directly connected to events of this volume), Tina figured out that Aoi and Kaoru were secretly in love with each other, and Tina finally declared that she would be leaving for America after she graduates – and that's about it for the previous five volumes.</p>
<p>With volume 15, though, the series finally returns to its original focus: the conflict of interest pressed on Aoi by being caught between her desire to be with Kaoru and her obligations to her family and name. In the past she has made it quite clear that, if she has to make a choice, her choice is Kaoru, but so critical is this underlying theme to the whole structure of the story that it is high time it was finally revisited. (The last time it came up in a major way was volume 6, and who really believed that someone like Aoi's father would let her go so easily?) This time an additional outside complication figures into the situation that has not been present before, one connected to a major development subtly dropped at the end of the previous volume. The presence of this complication, and the major revelation dropped in the last panel of the main storyline, provide the driving force for the most drastic threat to Kaoru and Aoi's relationship since the earliest stages of the series, but that same revelation also provides hope for a possible final resolution to Aoi and Kaoru's dilemma over Kaoru not being considered worthy of marrying her because he is no longer a Hanabishi. For the first time in a long time, a fan of the series may be left breathlessly anticipating the next volume.</p>
<p>Although Aoi is at least as much the central character of the series as Kaoru, often she has faded into the background as other characters have taken center stage. Not so in this volume. Miyu, Chika, and Taeko only make the briefest of appearances in the regular storyline, and <cite class="e person">Miyabi</cite> is gone from the picture after the beginning of the volume's second chapter. By the time the volume reaches its fifth chapter, the main story is a one-woman show focusing only on Aoi and a certain surprise guest star. By contrast, this volume's Special Chapter exclusively focuses on Chika and her friends. While it is a mildly interesting side story, one gets the impression it was included primarily as an excuse to fit in the volume's requisite quota of nudity, since none of the regular chapters offered up any decent opportunity.</p>
<p><cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=5594">Kou Fumizuki</a></cite>'s artwork has always been at its best in his painstakingly-detailed use of background art and the fine quality of his <cite class="e lexicon">fan service</cite>. He draws nudity better (and more believably) than most, and offers no shortage of quality feature shots of Aoi in sexy poses on chapter headings or the racy front cover. Character designs beyond faces are also quite well-done, especially the everyday costuming, and facial expressions, while too often exaggerated, are still competent. If his artistry has a weakness, it's in the rubbed-out look of some of his shading techniques.</p>
<p><cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=11">Tokyopop</a></cite>'s production offers two more episodes of the roughly-drawn “Ai-Ao Theater” bits sandwiched in between the last regular chapter and the special chapter, as well as two pages of story and character summaries at the beginning. The front and back covers (and the inside of the back cover) offer great color character art, with the matching purple of Aoi's hair and kimono making for a bold and striking look on the front cover. Original sound effects remain, although small, unobtrusive translations have been added in places where the nature of the sound effect would not be immediately clear from context. Overall, this is one of <cite class="e company">Tokyopop</cite>'s highest-quality <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=19485">Manga Productions</a></cite> in terms of production values.</p>
<p>A major plot development sure to shake readers out of the doldrums of the past few volumes arises as the story returns to its roots in preparation for its end run. If you've lost your enthusiasm for this title, this volume may restore it.</p>

<br>
<strong>Wednesday, 25 September 2013</strong>: Madman is proud to announce yet another digital screening milestone in the acquisition of brand-new anime series, <cite class="e anime">Coppelion</cite>, which will premiere 3rd October on the <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=8697">Madman Screening Room</a></cite> (<a href="http://www.madman.com.au/screeningroom" target="_blank">madman.com.au/screeningroom</a>) in <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=121">simulcast</a></cite> with Japan.<br>
<br>
<cite class="e anime">Coppelion</cite> is a post-nuclear action/drama series based on the hit manga series of the same name by Inoue Tomonoki and is produced by ‘<cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=7758">GoHands</a></cite>’, the talented new animation studio, founded in 2008, behind the <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=11338">MARDOCK SCRAMBLE</a></cite> films and last year's hit action series ‘K’.<br>
<br>
In the year 20xx, the old capital that once stood proud lies in ruins, devastated by a catastrophic nuclear meltdown that has wiped out 90% of the area's population. Decades on, three seemingly normal looking high school girls arrive at the old capital without any kind of clothing to protect them from the radiation.<br>
<br>
They are <cite class="e anime">Coppelion</cite>, genetically engineered children who are impervious to the effects of radiation. As members of the Ground Self-Defence Force Dispatch 3 Special Force, their mission is to rescue survivors in the radioactive wasteland. The struggle for life begins now…<br>
<br>
<cite class="e anime">Coppelion</cite> will stream online and in <cite class="e lexicon">simulcast</cite> on the <cite class="e company">Madman Screening Room</cite>, day and date with the Japanese TV broadcast on 3rd October, 2013.<br>
<br>
<cite class="e anime">Coppelion</cite> will also release to home and further digital formats in 2014.<br>
<br>
For more details, visit <a href="http://www.madman.com.au/screeningroom" target="_blank"><span class="-wrap">www.madman.com.au/screeningroom</span></a>.<br>
<br>
<em>NOTE: The original press release was posted as "Coppellion" and seeing that the series is listed on <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=11859">ANN</a></cite>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coppelion">Wikipedia</a> as the <a href="http://www.starchild.co.jp/special/coppelion/">official website</a> as "<cite class="e anime">Coppelion</cite>" we decided to make the spelling alteration to the press release.</em>

The messages contain orders that the students must obey, or they risk the punishment of death. With their lives on the line, the students soon find out that the orders are getting more and more extreme as time goes on.</p>
<p><cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=2276">Futabasha</a></cite> published the original cellphone novel in <i>tankōbon</i> format in 12 volumes from 2009 to 2015, and also in larger <i>bunkoban</i> format in the same number of volumes from 2011 to February 19 earlier this year. <cite class="e company">Futabasha</cite> is also releasing a new edition of the novels (seen left) with its <cite class="e company">Futabasha</cite> Junior Bunko label, with illustrations by Chiba. The sixth and latest volume in that re-release shipped on March 15.</p>
<p>The story has also inspired four manga adaptations. The first manga by <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=127830">Hitori Renda</a></cite> ran on <cite class="e company">Futabasha</cite>'s <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=20794">Everystar</a></cite> Premium online service from 2011 to 2012, and received five volumes. The second manga by <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=127831">Renji Kuriyama</a></cite>, titled <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=16009">Ousama Game: Shūkyoku</a></cite></cite>, ran on <cite class="e company">Everystar</cite> Premium from 2012 to 2014, and received four volumes. The third manga by <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=56331">J-ta Yamada</a></cite>, titled <cite><cite class="e anime">Ousama Game: Kigen</cite></cite>, ran in <cite class="e company">Futabasha</cite>'s <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=20475">Monthly Action</a></cite></cite> magazine from 2014 to 2016, and received six volumes. <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=7606">Crunchyroll</a></cite> <a href="/news/2014-01-24/crunchyroll-adds-action-mask-king-game/origin-orange-re-collection-manga">released</a> chapters of the manga online under the title <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=16010">King's Game: Origin</a></cite></cite>. The fourth manga, again by Kuriyama, is titled <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=16008">Ousama Game</a></cite>: Rinjō</cite>, and it ran from 2015 to last November. <cite class="e company">Futabasha</cite> published the manga's fourth and final volume last November.</p>
<p>The game inspired a live-action film adaptation that opened in Japan in December 2011. A smartphone social game adaptation and tie-in to the film was also released in November 2011.</p>

You know that cliché about how sequels are never as good as the original? Personally I don't ascribe to that idea – I think it has more to do with what sequels get made and how, rather than anything innate to telling a followup story. But sometimes that old canard proves true after all, because compared to last episode, “The Two Apprentices” is definitely the <i>Blues Brothers 2000</i> of anime.</p>
<p>The setup is honestly interchangeable with any of the other comedic episodes of <i><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=22294">Wandering Witch</a></cite></i>: Elaina (feat. Saya) gets caught up in some magical chicanery that pretty much immediately has no real stakes, and is solved incredibly easily by our uber-powerful witch protagonists. That's technically what happened last week too, but here there's neither a compelling character conflict to exacerbate the threat, nor does it even pretend that the bad guys involved are at all a threat. The entire plan of the goobers from last episode returning decades later to set up a weirdly convoluted scheme to let them rob a bunch of places is just silly, as the show points out about five different times once it's revealed. It's also obvious that Elaina and Saya can clean the whole thing up in no time because, <i>duh</i>, so the first 18-odd minutes of this episode feel totally pointless outside of more tired hijinks, and I suspect the creators knew this because they try to spice the whole thing up with that most hallowed of tropes: the body-swap.</p>
<p>For some reason the bad guys decide if they can't steal the magic love-gas box they tricked Saya into delivering, they'll have her swap bodies with a random person on the street, and wouldn't ya know it? They chose Elaina! This sounds like a recipe for goofy hijinks as the two try to navigate the world in each other's body, maybe puzzle out how this happened or try to locate the other, but as has been endemic of <i><cite class="e anime">Wandering Witch</cite></i>'s writing for weeks now, it barely attempts anything besides some surface-level jokes. Saya spends a good five minutes just staring at her (read: Elaina's) reflection in a window and trying to make out with herself, while Elaina/Saya makes grossed-out faces. Oh and in all this, we run into Mina, Saya's younger sister from episode 2, and learn the girl has a sister complex when she tries to make out with her sister's body housing a separate woman's mind, so there's that. Ew. There's a smattering of background gags as the love magic wreaks havoc in town but it's all the same gag repeated for minutes on end, and never gets more clever than a lovestruck dog chasing a cat. </p>
<p>Making this all the stranger is how this episode was built up as something important or pivotal; not only is this the first story to be a direct followup to a previous one and reuniting pretty much the entire recurring cast, it also chooses to forego the OP and ED. That's usually something a show does if it has a momentous episode to deliver and they want to lend it gravitas, or the story itself is so jam-packed they need every second of screentime to properly tell it. But outside of the final few minutes there's nothing of real value here save some silly faces and a couple of decent gags. Honestly, with the lethargic pacing of some of the jokes, they could have done with trimming this screenplay down, not extending it. </p>
<p>Then we come upon the final few minutes, and the first real bit of genuine sentiment in this whole mess. Elaina, being smarter than your average witch, has put the pieces together that Nike was in fact Fran's teacher, but surprisingly this link to her inspiration doesn't thrill our heroine. Instead she tries to avoid discussing it entirely, saying that if she were to find out she was somehow the inheritor of Nike's legacy, it'd spoil the romance of just being her own witch going on her own adventures. It's honestly a pretty endearing sentiment, and the first time since episode 2 that Elaina's felt like a real character instead of a smug cipher observing the world without personal investment. It's unfortunately too little, too late to salvage her as our perspective character, but I do appreciate the nuance to her we get in these waning minutes. It's something, anyway.</p>
<p>Now the question remains of where we go from here. There's at least one episode left in all this, and I can't really think of what it could be about. This episode, half-baked as it was, featured everything you'd expect from a season/series finale. Elaina herself remarks on not wanting her journey to “end in 5 volumes” (see this was from the 5th volume of the novels. Get it?) but I'm also not sure what a single episode can cover that could properly conclude a 12-episode anime season. Then again you don't typically have a “conclusion” for anthology series like these so it's a weird prospect already. I think it's far too late for <i><cite class="e anime">Wandering Witch</cite></i> to pull itself out of the depths of its worst entries, but it'd still be nice if we at least get a decent finale. So here's hoping.

<div class="intro">Gubdam Wing DVD 5 and Endless Waltz disc problems</div>
<hr>
<div class="meat">Many people have been complaining of a variety of problems viewing the <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=26">Gundam Wing</a></cite> Volume 5 DVD and the Endless Waltz Special Edition DVD; ANN's review of Endless Waltz has been delayed because of two bad discs.<br>
<br>
Problems have been reported getting Endless Waltz to play at all on some players, while other people have experienced problems towards the end of the movie, and other problems during the conclusion and the credits.<br>
<br>
Similar problems have been experienced with <cite class="e anime">Gundam Wing</cite> volume 5 where it freezes at the 3rd and 23rd chapters.<br>
<br>
Bandai has responded to enquiries regarding these problems with the following message:<i><br>
<br>
We at <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=3">Bandai Entertainment</a></cite> are very sorry for the inconvenience! If you could please return the defective or damaged product to the address below we will have a replacement and refund of the return shipping cost sent out immediately. However, please note that we can only reimburse return shipments made via the United States Postal Service. We ask that you please print this e-mail and include it with the return and also include your full name, shipping address, and telephone number for which their is a space provided on this e-mail. If you are unable to print this e-mail please make sure that you include your four digit assigned RFM#, which will be listed at the top of this e-mail as well as <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=18171">your name.</a></cite>, shipping address, and telephone number. Again, we are very sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused and look forward to getting your product to you as soon as possible!</i><br>
<br>
One reader e-mailed us with a list recent Bandai DVD's that exibit problems, along with the DVD players that are most likely to be affected:<br>
<i><br>
These problems seem to primarily affect <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=1782">Pioneer</a></cite> and <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=13702">Toshiba</a></cite> players, with the problems seeming to be the most pronounced with Pioneers. The defect affects every single copy of each title. So far, every attempt to contact Bandai has been met with a generic reply, with instructions on returning the DVDs for replacement. Obviously Bandai doesn't understand the problem, as replacing the discs won't solve a thing. Here's a list of the titles, and the players that some people are having trouble with:<br>

The year is 1937. Lieutenant <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=260554">sakuma.</a></cite> has just been assigned to help oversee the Imperial Army's most secret spy training initiative, under the wizened old Lieutenant Colonel Yuuki. This "D Agency" operates under bizarre rules that make <cite class="e person">sakuma.</cite> very uncomfortable. First of all, they recruit <em>civilians</em> through a fairly academic testing process and then put them through military training and see if they make it, which is absolutely unheard of. The final eight agents who survive the rigorous program must undergo some kind of medical procedure that makes them seem more like monsters than soldiers to <cite class="e person">sakuma.</cite>, and their lack of patriotic conviction or camaraderie also gets under his skin. Soldiers of any stripe, even a lowly spy, should join the army because they believe in the cause, not just because they have nowhere else to go like these weirdos! When <cite class="e person">sakuma.</cite> asserts to the group that a spy should either kill the witness or commit suicide if he is discovered, even old Yuuki mocks him. "Don't die. Don't kill. Just get the job done."</p>
<p>The D Agency prefers to play what they call "The <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=17534">Joker Game</a></cite>," an elimination-style take on poker where the game is not about who has the best hand, but who can convince the most people around the table to cheat others out of the game, one after another, without saying a word. Being a spy isn't about war; it's about politics, and the sword you should fear most on the field is your own. When <cite class="e person">sakuma.</cite> realizes he was the first to fold in the group's card game, he begins to worry that this pack of jokers was assembled to betray each other in pursuit of their goal, and he'll be the first old maid to go. <b><cite class="e anime">Joker Game</cite></b> is based on a novel series and can be found <a href="http://www.crunchyroll.com/joker-game">streaming on Crunchyroll,</a> Tuesdays at 1:00 PM EST.</p>

<p>I have a lot of reservations about this show, although I did enjoy this particular episode. As a point of reference, WWII is a very sensitive topic in my family, still very much “THE War,” and along with the burden of my own history, I share many of the reservations Jacob mentioned in his preview. (I won't repeat them, since he covered them already.) In terms of <cite class="e anime">Joker Game</cite>'s first episode as a single viewing experience, however, this not only looks very nice and pays great attention to the subtleties, but it also presents an intriguing storyline that, if removed from history, is easy to get hooked on.</p>
<p>Most interesting here is the treatment of the characters themselves. Our point of view character, <cite class="e person">sakuma.</cite>, is a thorough military man – he graduated from the Imperial Military's academy and he holds firm beliefs about what his duty is as a soldier and how soldiers ought to comport themselves. Because of this, he takes a dim view of spies; the very fact that their jobs involve deception and a form of dishonesty just rubs him the wrong way. To this end, he's not thrilled with D-Agency, the training school for civilians who have been tapped to become army spies, and he's highly suspicious of the spies themselves. Given that spy fiction in Western literature is an off-shoot of the action/adventure genre, this is already an interesting departure from the norm, especially because ostensibly <cite class="e person">sakuma.</cite> and the men of D-Agency are on the same side. “Ostensibly” is the important word here, however – through subtle quirks of the mouth and eyes, it becomes increasingly apparent to viewers (although not to <cite class="e person">sakuma.</cite> until it's too late) that the spies dislike and distrust him right back. Whether or not they're testing him or actively trying to get rid of him is up in the air right now, but it does make for a compelling cliff-hanger ending and certainly casts doubt on how the rest of the series is going to play out.</p>
<p>The episode's color scheme adds to the story in its use of almost exclusively muted colors and shades of brown. We tend to picture the past, especially the wartime past, as being devoid of bright colors, and this feeds right into that popular assumption, with the only vivid spots being the deck of cards used in the poker match. Even the suspected foreign spy's blond hair and light eyes are muddied, giving everything a grimly antique feel. Character designs feel deliberately creepy, with the men of D-Agency all having a snakelike look to them, untrustworthy and smarmily suspicious. All of this sets the mood really well and also contributes to this being thus far one of the best and most distinctive looking first episodes of the season.</p>
<p>Despite all of this, I can't shake my inherent distrust of where the story will ultimately go. To call the subject matter uncomfortable in the context of history might be a decent explanation, but it could also be my own associations with the period. Regardless, this is a good episode in itself; if the context doesn't bother you, it will probably be worth following.</p>

<p><cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=337">Production I.G</a></cite>'s spy-thriller set on the verge of World War II is sure to cause its fair share of conversations around the water cooler. Even in 2016, Japan is still reluctant to fully own up to the war crimes perpetuated against their Chinese and Korean neighbors under the Imperial regime. The current Abe Administration is no exception to this, and certain nationalistic philosophies have reared their head in anime entertainment as of late.</p>
<p>This can make anime like <cite class="e anime">Joker Game</cite> uncomfortable. The 2nd Sino-Japanese War began in 1937, when this show begins, and it would lead to the deaths of 300,000 civilians and surrendered soldiers by the end of the year. There are factions today that insist the Nanking Massacre didn't even happen. When patriotic lead Lt. <cite class="e person">sakuma.</cite> says “orders are orders” at the end of the episode, you can't help but wonder if he'd have participated in Nanking if he wasn't begrudgingly stuck as a military liaison for a spy school.</p>
<p>So is <cite class="e anime">Joker Game</cite> an escapist fantasy for nationalists or a reflective historical piece? It's hard to say yet, but I'm leaning towards the latter. The writing hints that its lead's philosophy is childishly simplistic. <cite class="e person">sakuma.</cite> has bought into the kamikaze spirit, that death is a honorable end and dying with your comrades for your country is fitting for a soldier. Everything should be taken at face value, and people who disrupt that by being underhanded are monsters. If these countries were flipped, <cite class="e person">sakuma.</cite> would be a “good ol' boy,” and we wouldn't need the historical preamble at the top of this review because he'd just so happen to be on the right side of history. But he isn't, so the weight of his words show a soldier who never questions the motives of his superiors. The spies themselves find all of this laughably naïve, and while their approach initially comes off as nihilistic, it's also a much more complete view of the world than <cite class="e person">sakuma.</cite>'s. </p>
<p>The writing in the show is incredibly tight, with each confrontation and conversation deftly establishing the characters. Lt. Col. Yuuki's introduction quickly establishes him as a man with disdain toward traditional Japanese formality when the country has apparently abandoned it. The discussion over poker sets the stage for the episode's cliffhanger, as <cite class="e person">sakuma.</cite>'s opinion on honorable death might come back to bite him in the ass. The writing is wrapped up in a moody animation palette of browns and blues, with down-to-Earth character designs. There's no outrageous hairstyles here.</p>
<p>There are warranted reservations about this show, but I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt and hope that <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=17217">ERASED</a></cite>'s <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=76253">Taku Kishimoto</a></cite> can give me another solid adaptation that hooks me into each episode. I don't think the show should be avoided simply because of its subject matter, but it'll take more episodes to see what kind of undercurrent is running beneath this story.</p>

<p><b>Rating: uuuhhhhnnnnn?</b><br></p>
<p>If I had to give you a pure lizard brain response to whether or not I liked or recommended "<cite class="e anime">Joker Game</cite>," then I would definitely say yes. It's an immaculately produced, fluidly animated show with sharp writing, smooth pacing, and a genuinely fresh take on "spy vs. spy" where enemy spies are all ostensibly on the same side. The only thing it's missing right now is compelling characterization, but we might have gotten a <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=19972">Slow Start</a></cite> on that one because the character we <em>thought</em> was our protagonist might be the first Joker to get expelled from the game. (I don't think he's dead meat yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if he gets forced into some medical modification that puts him back in the program on a very different side. It's just "audience-proxy character falls into the den of freaks" stuff with a slightly slower build-up.) Then again, I could be wrong, because the intrigue tangle that <cite class="e anime">Joker Game</cite> set up so well in this first episode could go any number of different ways. So yeah, I want to like this show a lot!</p>
<p>But when I saw <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanking_Massacre">"the year is 1937"</a> pop up onscreen, that rating above is the precise noise that squiggled out of my throat, and because of the complicated reasons behind this noise, I can't give this show a specific number, much less a casual thumbs up or thumbs down. (If you don't want to read a wikipedia article, you can get a pretty good idea of what's going on in <cite class="e anime">Joker Game</cite>'s period setting by watching <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mh5LY4Mz15o">this video</a> from 7:01 to 7:35, literally 30 seconds that will take you from "huh?" to "oh...") Unfortunately, <cite class="e anime">Joker Game</cite> is playing around with <em>very</em> sensitive real-world history, so I felt compelled to explore my feelings with words alone, since any number I settle on could turn into "nope nope nope" very quickly within a few episodes. </p>
<p>Unlike noitamina's less-than-successful <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=11228">Night Raid 1931</a></cite>, <cite class="e anime">Joker Game</cite> doesn't immediately shy away from its historical context. The first scene after the opening theme is people cheering in the streets that Japan has successfully landed at Qingdao (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Sino-Japanese_War">which means all this mess is about to happen</a>). The show is neither celebratory or condemning of this, it just shifts casually over to the unassuming building where Yuuki watches wordlessly. After that, the story trips a pretty apolitical line by contrasting our "foolish hero," a true believer nationalist who's completely on board with the coming war, with the more crafty and nihilistic spies who don't even seem to be concerned with the presence of an American spy within their borders, except as an opportunity to get rid of our hero. (The <cite class="e anime">Joker Game</cite> itself actually comes from Yuuki's observation of how Japan was tricked during a disarmament summit in Washington.) So what's really going on here? <cite class="e anime">Joker Game</cite> is definitely playing the mystery angle above all else, which means its ideology is still a giant question mark. Will the D Agency support Japan's imperialistic expansion, subvert it, or pursue an alternate goal altogether?</p>
<p>The answer means everything to whether <cite class="e anime">Joker Game</cite> becomes a contemplative work of political fiction or just another puffed-up right-wing propaganda adventure with some extra twists thrown in. For now, I'm definitely impressed enough by <cite class="e anime">Joker Game</cite>'s conflicted perspective to keep watching, but I'll have one hand on the escape rope if the story gets too gross to be fun anymore.</p>

<p><cite class="e anime">Joker Game</cite>'s premise is pretty inherently charged. It's a story about Japanese spies in the years immediately preceding World War II, after all, a time when Japan was committing some of the worst war atrocities of the twentieth century. Even today, the idea of a show directly acknowledging and engaging with the reality of the Second Sino-Japanese War seems pretty unlikely, especially with an emergent right wing looking to sweep away the martial violence of the past. A show that meaningfully engaged with questions of a soldier's duty and nationalism within that time period would be a surprising and valuable thing.</p>
<p>So far, <cite class="e anime">Joker Game</cite> does not appear to be that show. Its squadron of spies seem to express disdain for the very idea of nationalism, hewing instead to what their one military academy companion describes as pure narcissism. Spies are above nations in <cite class="e anime">Joker Game</cite>. Spies just want to prove the limits of their own abilities, and see faith in Japan as one more false religion. While the military man expresses occasional shock at the disloyalty of his companions, any awakening he is to experience seems likely just to lead to “trust no one” more than a direct reflection on his specific government.</p>
<p>But even if <cite class="e anime">Joker Game</cite> seems somewhat awkwardly noncommittal as a political artifact, that's clearly not related to its goal. What <cite class="e anime">Joker Game</cite> <em>wants</em> to be is a smooth, spy-happy thriller, and at that, this first episode mostly succeeds. There's a great sense of style to the show, from its engaging music and subdued color palette to the straight-laced designs of its characters. And though this episode is a bit on-the-nose in the way it introduces both its spy academy and the philosophy of the “<cite class="e anime">Joker Game</cite>” itself, it eventually moves towards a compelling cliffhanger that implies the show will just get more fun as its cast of “monsters” get to strut their stuff. <cite class="e anime">Joker Game</cite> may not have all that much to say about the atrocities of its era, but it's stylish and engaging and a generally enjoyable time so far.</p>

<p><strong>Review: </strong>Nearly every season seems to have at least one specifically adult-oriented title, and this award-winning novel (<em>not </em>light novel) adaptation seems to be the one for this season. The source material has already inspired a live action movie version, so now we get to see how director <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=38396">Kazuya Nomura</a></cite> (fresh off of <em><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=16698">Ghost in the Shell: The New Movie</a></cite></em>) and his <cite class="e company">Production I.G</cite> team handle the topic.</p>
<p>So far, it looks pretty good. The decision to focus on Lieutenant <cite class="e person">sakuma.</cite> – a dyed-in-the-wool military fanatic – as the fish out of water in a spy training facility is a great call, as it sets up all sorts of sharp, interesting contrasts between the mindset of the military and mindset of the spy, which is really where the juice of this first episode lies. <cite class="e person">sakuma.</cite> just cannot fathom how spies have to look at things and finds their tactics cowardly, though I have to wonder if that's as much because he feels vulnerable to them as because he sees them as lacking in honor and pride. The poker game being used as both spy training and a metaphor for action on the international political scene helps set up that this is much more a thinking man's anime than an action series, unlike the series’ closest anime cousin: <em><cite class="e anime">Night Raid 1931</cite></em>. In fact, the only real “action” here is the tense moments towards the end where <cite class="e person">sakuma.</cite> is leading the investigation into a suspected spy's house and gradually starts to realize that he may be part of a set-up which leaves his own life at stake. I suspect that this is actually more of a mean object lesson for <cite class="e person">sakuma.</cite> and the spies actually <em>do</em> have his back, but if so then it's one that he needs.</p>
<p>The technical merits are about what you'd expect from a <cite class="e company">Production I.G</cite> job: well-animated and great-looking, with a subdued but still distinct color scheme and smoky rooms used to promote the shadiness of the business and the period in which the series is set. For the ladies it has no shortage of appealing male character designs, though not a single female character of even slight significance appears in the first episode. The jazz-heavy musical score positively <em>kills</em>, too.</p>
<p>As a history buff I may be a little biased here, as I am very curious how this is going to play out given the unusual choice of time period in which it is set. Still, this looks so far like it has more potential than any other title to date this season.</p>

<p><strong>Résumé <cite class="e company">Akata</cite> :</strong>
Quand Wataru, alors âgé de cinq ans, décide de recueillir un chat errant, il se doute bien que son terrible père refusera de le garder au sein de son foyer. Pourtant, devant la détresse et la solitude de son fils, mais aussi la détermination du chaton, ce salarié d'ordinaire impassible finit par céder... Au fil des années, Shirô, chat de gouttière sauvé in-extremis, deviendra un membre incontournable de cette famille japonaise comme les autres.</p>

The new form of Evolution changes a <cite class="e anime">Pokémon</cite>'s appearance and increases stats. <cite class="e anime">Pokémon</cite> may also switch their Ability or type after they Mega Evolve. <cite class="e anime">Pokémon</cite> that can Mega Evolve need a Mega Stone for the new process, and the transformed monsters return to their original form after a battle concludes. </p>
