On Your Desktop, Widginami Rei

Alafista notes that Yahoo! Japan users (like myself) can download an Evangelion widget that will look like Rei, Asuka, Shinji, or others and like, tell time. And stuff. Or something. It’s kinda cute. But I kinda hate widgets so I just loaded it long enough to check out. I was unimpressed, but hey, at least for once it doesn’t block non-Japanese IP addresses.

Fun Stuff

Sorry I was a little quiet yesterday, but I’m working on a seekrit projekt. ♥ Here’s what’s up as of this morning:

  • The big news today is of an adaptation of Petit Eva, those cute little SD Evangelion figures that spawned some 4koma strips as ads recently. ANN beat me to the details, such as the fact that all the characters (including the angels!) are being developed into high school characters. Oddly, though, they say that it’s being “made into video,” not that it’s being made into an anime - the whole thing is still a little unclear.
  • While I’m on ANN, they have an interview with Arina Tanemura up. I love how the guy’s like, “I hear you’re a big fan of Morning Musume!” And she’s all “Yes, I’m a big fan!” and he’s all “ORLY!? ME 2?!” (…to paraphrase).
  • The Minamike anime adaptation (based on the manga by Kyou no Go no Ni’s Koharu Sakuraba) is set to start in October. Guess I’ll have to get cracking on a Fall Preview, eh?
  • For you dubaholics, a Red Garden trailer from ADV.
  • International Manga Award winner Madeleine Rosca has part three of her Japan travelogue up.
  • ComiPress has word on a new Ishino Arashi manga, and a new US manga-style advertising company.
  • Last but not least: this has got to be the coolest punishment for a cop ever.
