For those in the know-how, you’ll know that apparently, NEC will be releasing real life versions of the Selecao phones used in Eden of the East, seen in the blog post here.
Also, seems Evangelion will be releasing their own NERV-only phones too, as seen here. (Warning: Links to Sankaku Complex, which is riddled with NSFW stuff from head to toe. Tread at your own discretion.) It looks pretty bland though.
Personally, I’ve always thought the Selecao phone looked unique and cool enough to warrant owning one, even back when I saw those pictures and thought they were just fake mock-ups. For the time being though, it seems only Selecao Nine’s colour scheme will be available, though they are apparently throwing in “Falling Down” as a ringtone, free of charge. Only time will tell if these will be in widespread production, it’ll be a shame if it’s only a limited release.
Now if we can get ourselves a secretary named Juiz and a bank account of ten billion yen…
This isn’t what it looks like… Or maybe this is exactly what it looks like. I can never tell.
Usually when a show starts delving into storylines involving incest, mostly of the sibling variety, it’s srs bsns ala Onegai Twins, Akane Iro ni Somaru Saka and Revolutionary Girl Utena. But sometimes we need say to ourselves, “Why so serious?”. Incest doesn’t always need to be serious. Sometimes it can be fun and lighthearted, and that’s where ecchi comedy manga (and OVA), KissxSis, comes in. Plain and simply said, it makes incest fun again.
What’s it about you ask? It stars a guy named Keita whose older twin stepsisters are constantly competing against each other for his affection, often involving schemes that backfire and put Keita in compromising situations… If you know what I mean. That’s not even the weirdest part though. Both parents fully condone the relationship/s and are even betting on which girl he chooses. So yeah… Go check it out because it’s so much fun to watch. I feel bad for liking this, but it’s a guilty pleasure. If KissxSis garners enough fan support, maybe we’ll get a full season of this goodness.
PS: Preemptive Incest is the best, put your sister to the test… So don’t even think about saying it.
PSS: The views expressed in this post do not reflect Wolf Hurricane or any of its staff. Stop wasting valuable time and go read/watch KissxSis already.
I was going to use a more appropriate screenshot, but this one was too funny not to use.
I wasn’t exactly jumping for joy when I first heard Dragon Ball Z was getting a remake, but I was still moderately interested nonetheless. “Revamped” 16:9 HD visuals and new music and voice work sounded interesting, but the key selling point was the promise to remove all of Z’s unnecessary filler and follow the manga’s pacing more faithfully.
When the first episode of the new Hayate no Gotoku!! season started, the very first thing I heard was a song that was a far cry from the fast paced, high energy KOTOKO songs that I had come to associate with HnG, the eponymous “Hayate no Gotoku!” and “Shichitenhakki Shijou Shugi”. Along with the new art style switch from SynergySP to J.C. Staff, Elisa’s “Wonder Wind” felt very alien at first. Nothing against Elisa, but the new song just didn’t seem right.
In reference to the post title, I’ll kick things off by talking about this season’s premiere historical action show, Sengoku Basara. When I saw the first OP PV, I initially wrote it off on the notion that 90% of game-to-anime adaptations suck donkey balls, especially shows based on action games. For some reason I gave the first episode a shot anyway, and it blew me away. It was good. Damn good in fact.
This post originally appeared on my personal blog – I’m just trying to give this breaking news wider coverage. To get the full picture, read the complete report on Anime News Network.
If untrue, come 24 May let’s all fly to Kadokawa’s corporate headquarters and seriously trash the place. If true, then the guesswork I made on 01 May (click here to read the original post) turns out to be correct after all:
Sasa no Ha Rhapsody will probably appear as one of the side stories in the second season.
The new episodes produced for the second season will probably be mixed into the “rebroadcast” of the first season.
If the chronological ordering of the Suzumiya Haruhi light novel series is strictly observed and the two preceding inferences are correct, the first episode of the new season will probably be an adaptation of Sasa no Ha Rhapsody and will probably air on 22 May or shortly thereafter, by which time – based on the 03 April start date of the “rebroadcast” – a gap will exist in the light novel material already covered by the first season. [emphasis added]
Now comes the difficult part: waiting for hard evidence. The Dark Kadokawa Empire cannot be trusted by its word alone.
Forgive the mini hiatus, as I’ve been taking the time to officially finish up the last of my college finals. It’s now officially, unofficially over until graduation. Now that that’s taken care of, I wish to briefly discuss what is, objectively speaking, probably the best show in the Spring 09 lineup, Eden of the East/Higashi no Eden. As the season started and the weeks passed, I’ve dutifully kept up with (almost) all my shows regardless of how packed my schedule has been. Falling behind is inevitable, but I’ve been pretty consistent in watching my main staples of Dragon Ball Kai, FMA, Hayate no Gotoku!!, K-ON, Sengoku Basara and Valkyria Chronicles.
Since nonsensical lists are all the rage these days, I’ve compiled my own nonsensical list of five things to love about Sengoku Basara (courtesy of episode five), in no particular order.
