Old by the standard of most modern anime fans and companies, Hunter x Hunter is getting a release from the only company with a Shonen Jump stamp to use as they please.

Far easier to write than my review last week (what shonen adventure show ISN’T easy to lay down and watch?), let’s see if this dog can hunt. Continue reading →

Confirmed thru multiple places, at a recent convention in France a new Mysterious Cities of Gold series was announced.

No idea as of yet if it will be a coproduction with Japan like the original, but apparently the designs will be very similiar, and the original series director is involved in some fashion. 3 seasons of 26 episodes each.

Original French Source {I’ve double checked this and confirmed with multiple people whom I trust that this is in fact real}

A show I’ve heard people talk about for awhile.  Darker Than Black is probably one of the better shows in recent memory.

Hard review to write for alot of reasons, but the main one is this show is complex, and very deep.

So let’s take a look at Darker Than Black and see what’s what. Continue reading →

This is the story of a man…

After a quicky ‘lets throw this out there’ release earlier in the year, Gurren Lagann finally gets it’s ‘real’ release.

Let’s take a look at what’s what in this box. (as always, spoiler free)

Just a small early look due to to many crazy papers (7 page script, full fictional production schedule… 3 paper rewrites….and more….gahhhh).  So let’s go ahead and take a look at Tuesday’s release of Ouran High School Host Club, Part1.

Little nugget of exclusive (as far as I’m aware) info from your friendly neighborhood SpiderMarc…

The new Avengers cartoon will be recorded at anime favorite studio Studiopolis, and they are currently in the midst of trying out some of your favorite actors.  Could we get a Crispin Freeman Ant Man?  A Kyle Hebert Thor?  Wendee Lee as the Wasp?  Who knows, but it’ll be interesting (and does this bode well for a Steve Blum guest appearance as everyone’s favorite snikt bub mutant Wolverine?)

Not really an anime actor, but I’d love Frank Welker to get cast as Hulk and do his Krunk voice.

{That cast stuff is just me theorizing, minus a few people I have no knowledge of anyone specific trying out..}

….AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will update with more when/if I’m allowed to say more…

This is just way to awesome to not post

Still trying to catch up on papers from being sick (still a bit sick in fact) so no in depth review until the weekend, but some early looking for everyone.

I think for alot of people this will be the set that is used to decide if Funimation knows what they are doing with their new way of doing boxsets. Continue reading →

After getting both Air and Kanon and being rather proud of the work put into them, and Sojitz screwing up all their stuff for nearly a year now, ADV has finally popped back with a real swinger after announcing some junky live action movies and an OVA no one cared about.

ADV had Clannad.

Due to the NYAF going on this weekend and ADV being elsewhere, it appears few places have picked up on the news yet.

They’ve only really been back for a month and already have one of the most awaited shows there is (not sure I care though, tired of shows that end depressingly, don’t know how Clannad ends though) makes you wonder if ADV may have any other licensed suprises they just haven’t revealed yet.

I’ve considered for a day if I should post about this, and decided to.

Apparently something Captain Harlock is being dubbed at the moment.

I think everything Harlock titled has had some sort of American release already, so one wonders what it could be.

A dub for the sub only stuff?  A dub for a new release of something else?

It was said by a well known dub actor with no note that it shouldn’t be announced, but I’m leaving names out becuase I honestly think it may have been mentioned by accident (and there was no denial when I checked with the person earlier today).

Curious…
