Still to busy to write any of my fancy shmancy articles, but I have some dubbing news.

Jeff Nimoy has taken over dub directing duties for Blue Dragon.

Been a bit busy with class stuff, so sorry for the lack of updates, but I got you guys some news.

I’ve been informed by someone in the know that Hunter x Hunter is being dubbed in Canada, and NOT by Ocean.  This means that it is likely being dubbed by Blue Water.

Yay…. I guess.

Lots of good stuff from Funimation in November. I needs more monies…

It’s time for a new (and the final, if you believe Atari) Dragonball Z game for the Playstation 2.

So what’s up and what’s it about. Continue reading →

Charles Martinet, voice of Mario and many different video game characters (but most well known for god knows how many other Nintendo characters including: Luigi, Wario, the Baby Mario Bros., and tons more) will be at the Nintendo World Store in Manhattan this Sunday (August 24th) from noon to 4pm to sign copies of the new Mario Sluggers game (Mario Super Sluggers) for the Wii.

{Thanks to Charles Martinet for the news.}

Got some information on the English version of the game.  Everyone should be aware the information regarding this only seems to list it as coming out in Europe in December 2008, but since some listings have shown up at American stores, we will probably get it sooner rather than later. (Some of this news may have been known for the Japanese version, but it can be confirmed for the English version now).  Also have some screenshots and nice high resolution looks at the game character models Continue reading →

Just thought I’d comment on this since it has apparently spread around a bit based solely on one actor making a comment that then mysteriously vanished.

Bleach isn’t dead, it’s still being dubbed.  I have 100% confirmation that Wendee Lee was at Studiopolis last week directing more Bleach.

SO let all your Bleach crazed friends know, Bleach is gonna keep coming in the USA.

~This article has been edited due to a mistake, it previously said Wendee Lee was at Studiopolis directing Bleach today. I had misunderstood what I was told, she was there last week.~

There are times you can be really proud of being an anime fan, and then there are times when you just wanna sink into a hole and go “oh god no”.

This is one of those times.

A sponge shaped like the chest of Kagami from Lucky Star.

Really?  Is this a product that was in demand?  Did we really need this?

Kagami Oppai Sponge {Sankaku Complex}

Am I the only person curious how Funimation will do Nerima Daikon Brothers?

ADV’s three volume release had quite a few really good extras (I don’t think anything would beat the live action NDB).

ADV’s 3 disk thinpak had none.

What will Funimation’s version have?  I hope they keep all the extras in what will no doubt be a 2 disk thinpak box.

Just letting everyone know that Geneon products are starting to reappear in stores.

I saw a few volumes of Black Lagoon earlier today.  Not interested in the show, so I didn’t get them, but they are most certainly out there for those of you who are willing to look around.
