That Rascally Bandai Entertainment and their Source Code
Bandai Entertainment has gone all naughty with their website source code again! Here’s what it says in the splash page’s code (or skip to the end for the only potentially newsworthy bit):
!– Sir, sonar detects… strange… happy sounds eminating from an undisclosed location in space? –
!– Comm has no idea what to make of it sir. –
!– It scrolls in and out in waves. –
!– One of the ships is reporting contaminated food stores. Their chief intelligence officer is ill but is still able to perform his duties. –
!– Excellent! Keep his fever under check, have his duty shift end as soon as we are done with maneuvers for tonight. –
!– Aye aye, sir! –
!– Join me for one more voyage together… –
!– Toward the Terra. –
But wait, there’s more! Just a little bit more, on the catalog page:
!– Sir! Comm reports an alternate method of communications has been found! –
!– Excellent! We can talk here in privacy. –
There’s nothing on DVDs, Conventions, Gallery, Trailers, Privacy, or Contact (and I refuse to go through every product’s source code), but there’s some more on the blog, which are actually reactions to the words in the entry (the !– — marks the notes; anything not between those marks is part of the entry, included for context):
We also celebrate all wonderful women in general, for they are the strong, sparkling gems that support and brighten our days and are the priceless treasures who help run this world and enrich our lives and souls.!– fear not, he is not a script writer –
We’re currently hard at work on many things which we cannot talk about at this point in time. Wait, that would make for a really short blog entry. !– and career –
Something I can talk about (I hope?), and somewhat related to Mothers, is Toward the Terra!!– are we allowed to talk about that yet? –
My bosses have come up with a release strategy which will also hopefully satisfy your cravings for good anime entertainment at a proper price and schedules. !– you will see a lot more of this particular pattern –
Aaaand a little more on the Toshifumi Yoshida news release (also in reaction to the news):
He will be the localizing producer for numerous upcoming Bandai Entertainment releases. !– Gurren Lagann — !– ??? — !– ??? –
Whew. I think I got all of it. So it looks like new Bandai Entertainment addition Yoshida will be producer on Gurren Lagann? Or does that not count because they’re all question-mark-y? I’m so confused!
