I like turtles.....
Looks like we're getting uncut, subbed Gamera on 5/18/10. Will wonders never cease. I never thought I would see this day. Thanks to Shout! Factory, it looks like we'll be getting all of the Gamera flicks. This is a great time, my friends.

You Can Be An ANIME STAR!
http://animeme.klik.tv/
You know that GREAT IDEA FOR AN ANIME you had. The one that would be better then Dragon Ball Z and Gundam? That really awesome anime you and your buds came up with that night you were watching Cowboy Bebop and Lupin the 3rd on Cartoon Network and decided you could come up with something WAY better? Because it had ninjas in it. Ninjas that fought in GIANT ROBOTS! Then this contest is for you.
And the fun part? They're posting the story submissions online.

Pregnant? Here's The Beer For You
Tohoscope brought us beer for kids, but now we have beer for pregnant women. Don't worry about Fetal Alcohol Syndrome when you drink Kirin Free. The product isn't a big deal. It's just a non-alcoholic beer (i.e. near beer for the beer geeks here) and seems to be a hit in Japan. What's different is that one of the commercials is aimed at pregnant women and new moms. Why should they be left out when everyone is cracking open a cold one? Check the commercials out at Kirin's homepage.
I really don't have a problem with this, but I just find the commercial "odd" seeing all the moms at the playground with their kids knockin' 'em back.
I love Japan.

Of "Rape" Games and Japan-bashing
"Lah claims that many of today’s younger Japanese cannot express their feelings in reality and can only do so in the virtual world. According to her, this “trend” is showing no sign of slowing down."

'Voltron' Movie Back to Square One
Word from ICv2 is that the Voltron movie is tossing the scripts out and the director has left the building. Back to square one. From ANN, a previous lawsuit found that former Toei character designer Kazuo Nakamura "may posess rights" to GoLion. There's already been a couple of lawsuits, can you see more on the horizon? I'm not eagerly waiting for this movie now, I want it to die. If made with these players, it will be bad. Not good bad either. Let it rest in pieces for a few years and see if anyone else will be able to put it together. But if you really need a dose of "new" Voltron, don't worry. The new animated series that ". . . will feature an expanded interracial team that will do battle with the classic villains returning from the original Voltron series" is still scheduled for Nicktoons. Feh.
All I can say is thank you Media Blasters for GoLion and Dairugger.
