The Ninth Blu-Ray volume of IdolM@ster will include this confirmed unaired bonus episode which just appeared out of nowhere. So far I've been seeing a lot of Moe characters singing in the clip but can't understand if this is a new to the show or a side story by one of the characters.

Update: New Evangelion Smartphone Hands on Video revealed.

The new evangelion smartphone where I posted here in my blog was well received by many. Today NTT DoCoMo posted a teaser featuring the phone again and this time it made them looked really really good. I guess fans of the series is just waiting for the pre-order page to appear before they ran out of units and so far what NTT DoCoMo is doing is to entice the fans.

Pangya And Nisemonogatari Collaborates!!!

I never thought that Pangya, an MMO golf game which was released a few years back, is still alive and active on other countries. If you still have your account and the game is still on service on your country you can now chose some of the Nisemonogatari skins to pimp up your character.

Durarara Review


Classifying Durarara on which genre it belongs to will put the title to different categories. Should it be considered a slice of life, Thriller and Adventure depends mostly on how you viewed it but if you're going to ask me I'll make a different category for Durarara and call it creatives. Stupid as my sugesstion is, it's the best word that I can describe for the anime. And good thing that a friend of mine suggested me to watch it because I just missed a quarter of my life when I didn't watched the show.

Dangan Ronpa ported to iOS and Android

Here's another good game that will be seen in iOS and Android devices when the month of May arrives.

Ciel No Surge PV Released

Damn! I thought it was Atelier Ayesha but close inspection of the video made me realized that it's the upcoming Ciel No Surge which is slated for the Vita this April 26th. Good thing Google cleared things up since they both came from Gusts. This looks to be another good reason to get a Vita and a challenge as well to the developers in making the game accessible to other countries.

Fate/Zero Dining! served!

If you're not tempted to buy Kubey's Limited Edition Watch by G-Shock then you might be interested trying out your favorite Heroe's Meal from the series of Fate/Zero. Full Course meal will be served by Ufotable Dining with a choice of Menu from selected heroes/heroines of the anime.


Kyubey Limited Edition G-Shock Watch To Be Sold

Kubey G shock watch
Another anime accessory/apparel is to be sold in Japan with it's pre-orders dated this April 28 to May 31st and will ship in December. I can't imagine that there's a 7 month time gap for the watch to be shipped and an order enlistment page is needed for it. I guess they've been expecting a sold out for Kyubey's G-Shock watch from the hit anime Madoka Magica.

Conception: Please Deliver My Child Trailer Released

The game will launch April 26 2012, in short that will be tomorrow! Checking the plot and obviously the title it sounds ero-ish but it's not an adult rated game. I can see the direction that the franchise will go if the game will be successful and I think it's perfect for another Harem or Hentai Anime.

Yu Yu Hakusho Review

Yu Yu Hakusho Anime Review
One of the most popular animes in the Philippines during the 90's I guess, I started watching it during my elementary days and  I got hooked instantly to the point where my Dad scold me a couple of times cause I'm messing up my study habits. Though Yu Yu Hakusho aged a lot it's one of the animes that I'm still proud to recommend. One great aspect of the show is that the fight scenes, storyline as well as the characters are deeply integrated to the show.

Code Geass: Akito The Exiled Divided into 4 Episodes

Code Geas Akito The Exiled
Update: Code Geass Akito The Exiled Release Date Set

Instead of the customary 2 hour long movie for Movies or OVAs, Upcoming movie Code Geas: Akito The Exiled will treat us of 4 episodes of anime in 50 minute time length of the show. Seems to be a good sign for those who are unsatisfied of the usual 2 hour screening in theatres, or it's just a case of broadened scope and lengthy storyline so they resorted it in favor of the fans.

If you're a big One Piece follower or just a "Pirate Addict" then you might have a big chance on guessing on who's going to be the character of the film.

Dollars Dollars Dollars!

Note: Some elements on these post have spoilers about the anime Durara

So far there's been less news in the anime community because most of the news about trailers, PVs has been already consumed since Spring Animes are already airing in Japan. Most of the blogs that I've encountered already started doing episodic anime reviews and on my case I don't do it since it spoils much of the fun. What I do is to watch a few episodes and write my first impressions as you can see in several of my posts, and when I complete the series I make my final review.As of today there's no specific topic to blog about and I'm still busy catching up some good animes so I decided to write a random post on what's going on my head.

Oldest Queen's Blade Fan Spotted


He may not be an official Guinness Title Holder but that's not an excuse for grandpa to get a spotlight to our blog. Of course you may look ridiculous for your age still liking the anime but sometimes there are cases where your mind is not stopping you to get over your addiction.

New One Piece Movie Z - an Early Look

They're expecting to top the charts again as the New One Piece Film Z got an early introduction on Shueisa's Weekly Shounen Jumps 21'st/22nd issue. The man behind the manga, Eiichiro Oda will be designing the upcoming movie and highlighted that the strawhat crew will be facing it's strongest enemy yet.

Bakuman Manga ends this April

I don't understand why there's been a series of manga closings this year. Bleach was one of the most-loved  anime and was shortly sentenced to death and I'm sure that it won't be long until the manga follows the same fate. Air Gear was another popular one and and with just a surprising announcement it ended well too. This time it's Tsugumi Ohba's Bakuman.

Zetman Anime - First Impressions

Zetman Anime
I was thinking of the usual Sentai shows when I hear the title of the anime Zetman and the first thing that comes to my mind is the image of the hero in human form that performs a pose and shouts his name "ZETTTTTOMANNNNN!". 

GTO's Fujisawa to Launch a New Manga series.

Update: The new manga of Tohru Fujisawa is titled Itoshi no Dutchoven Girl (My Dear Dutch Oven Girl)

GTO's Tohru Fujisawa is now headed towards a different genre which tackles food contrary to what GTO is which talks about adventures and life. With no specific details of the new manga aside from a possible debut next month at Futabasha's Manga Action Magazine everything's looking good for the said Author.

Fairy Tail Review

Fairy Tail Anime Review
I spent a lot of time watching Fairy Tail when I'm still working in the office and that's a couple of months back. My shift starts around 1:00 and I get up around 8 in the morning so I have a precious 3 hours of slacker in the morning doing nothing aside from the usual rituals like eating breakfast and brief exercise. That free hours I got was dedicated for partial anime viewing and Fairy Tail is one of the few series that I followed.

See How the Manga Zetman is Drawn!

Update: Zetman First Impressions here

It's rare to see a video of how the manga ZetMan is drawn straight from the master itself, Masakazu Katsura. I've seen a couple of videos on how to draw anime using pen tablets but what I didn't know is that they still use the classic pen and paper before the publishing starts. I probably need to watch Bakuman since it details on how manga creation is done.

The Prince of Tennis Review

Probably it's been more than 8 years when I saw Prince of Tennis and I still remember every bit of it. I'm an avid follower of the anime and I've finished the show watching it in  local channels. Add it up with the right timing, which is  after school hours then there's definitely no way I could miss and enjoy it.

Thrill TV is the new AXN!

I've been spending more time on my laptop than watching TV mainly because I don't enjoy the local channels that is offered by our cable operator. Animax and Hero TV fails to amuse me for a couple of reasons that I don't want to share. The good news is, I had a new found love to the new Channel that I just discovered. I can now watch HOTD (Highschool Of The Dead) and Kurozuka which is very unlikely for Animax and Hero to be aired.

Idol Hacks Her Own Agency

A 26 year old idol who's been a singer and involved to some anime vocal work has been arrested by Tokyo police for the crimes of internet vandalism to her company website. This idol seems to be active on previous year wherein she was part of live performances and is in contract for music and anime related work.

Sankarea Anime - First Impressions

I'm having second thoughts of watching Sankarea as I'm not really into romance anime. The last time I saw one is when I was in High School and that's like 8 years back. But I gave it a chance so I reorganized my to-watch list since I can still squeeze in some hot animes that otakus and fans are talking about. So far so good, I didn't expect that I enjoyed every bit of the first two episodes.

Ni No Kuni English Trailer Now Out

Namco Bandai's announcement of Ni No Kuni's release date may have caused frustation to some of the gamers wishing for the early release but I think that's necessary for making the game more epic. This time they released the official English Trailer which I believed caused more excitement on the eager fans of the franchise.

Shining Hearts: Shiawase No Pan Anime PV unveiled

So little information was released about the Anime Series "Shining Hearts: Shiawase No Pan". Not unless you played the game which might give you some clue on what direction the anime will go since the description of the original game suggests that it's a Strategy RPG but the title sounds another cooking flick.


April 13, 2012

Jormungand Anime - First Impressions

I've been seeing comments that Jormungand is like Black Lagoon but I can't give feedback on that since I haven't seen Black Lagoon on the first place. If I'll compare it to other anime that I've already seen it reminds me of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. The setting of the two anime is far from each other but there are elements in the anime such as team spirit and great leadership which reminds me of GITS: Section 9 ^^,

Evangelion GPS Navigation System Unveiled

Update: There's also a Evangelion Smartphone to be released in the future.

GPS  Systems are so common these days that you only need your smartphone to hook up in your Car and you got yourself a helper. Not unless you want an "Exclusive" and "Rare" beauty like this Evangelion's NERV Navigation System which is made specifically for the fans of the anime.

An otaku was currently arrested for sending a couple of death threat emails to the author of Ore No Imouto series. This otaku was found out that he was a fan of Kirino Kosaka and was angered by the author's favorable treatment to Kuroneko in recent volumes of the series.

Man Arrested for Uploading Anime and Games

If you're one of the fans who owns legit copy of anime and games then you should be aware that you'll need to get a copyright permission before you upload any soft copies you have in file sharing services.

One of the recent animes last 2011, UN-GO, just got Nisemonogatari-ized by g3pen! using a mashup of characters from Nisemonogatari and UN-GO's ending theme. It's a great piece of work from the illustrations used and it's epic cloud formation to one of it's characters!

Top 25 Anime with Unexpected Bad Sales

Not all the time, those who performed well on the TV with great fandom gets the same result when shipped on DVDs and BDs. Take a look for example on this survey conducted by Big Globe Poll, most of the Titles you'll see have good reviews and ratings but disappointingly failed on delivering good sales performance on their disc counterparts
