It’s amazing how much harder it is to be incessantly devoted to posting news when someone isn’t paying you a living wage to do it!
That said, it’s time to play more catchup. This time, though, just the fun/cool/weird shit. Here goes.
Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure creator Araki Hirohiko managed to score a gig drawing the cover of an American science journal, says Canned Dogs. Career high or career low? You decide.
Blah blah blah D.C. comics, Random House, new distribution deal, etc.
A manga anthology created by a bunch of comedians ends publication after something like seven issues, to the surprise of…um, not me?
Just because many warez sites contain porn ads doesn’t mean the porn industry approves of copyright infringement. In fact, when it’s of their own material, companies will fight for the right to orgy.
Virginal loli magical girl + foul-mouthed military devotee tomboy = match made in heaven.
Really, really expensive swag.
Rozen Maiden’s Suigintou joins the racing circuit?
Aaand Motorou Mase’s manga Ikigami, which is centered around a guy who delivers an “Ikigami” paper to a person, who will then die in 24 hours, is getting a movie. The manga is about what these people do in the 24 hours they have left. Sounds kinda neat.
The sixth episode of Moetan has been pulled from the TV lineup, according to Canned Dogs, to be repleaced with a recap episode, “#5.5.” Can’t be shown on TV? Now we KNOW it would be a good episode. And the good news is, you can still see it - it’ll be a DVD-only feature.
Still, it sounds kinda like what happened with Gurren Lagann’s episode 6, which took place in an onsen. The episode was originally just about Kamina and the guys trying to spy on the girls, but then Gainax remembered that their show airs on Sunday mornings when little kids are watching. But instead of saving the original episode 6 and making a generic recap episode, they…adjusted the original episode INTO a recap episode, which just led to confusion and a kind of lame (but very fanservicey) recap ep. Live and learn, Gainax. Live and learn.
If you go to Ikimashou, you might just spot a link to shots from an uncensored broadcast of Moetan, so you can catch a cute innocent loli mid-magical girl transformation, doubtless for completely innocent and un-perverted reasons.
Right?
