KenshiroMinecraft (by AtomicStryker). Read the title. You should know what to expect. BUT IT’S SO MUCH MORE [b]AWESOME[/b] THAN THAT.
Oh for… Really? I thought it was finally put down. Or was that the Bebop film?
So… Tetsuo’s been renamed Travis, the film is set in America, with no actual Asians in it, all the characters now about eight years older, and live-action. Which ruins the entire underlying theme of the film. I’ll be honest, not a fan of Akira, but still… kind of shit stuff.
Kamehameha by Kinect: Updated and Code is Out! (via Japanator). Wow, that’s pretty awesome. And no, there’s no audio.
tl;dr: availability on YouTube seems to not effect rentals and to boost sales, and availability on Winny (Japanese P2P service) decreases rentals but increases sales.
One disclaimer from TorrentFreak:
One point of critique based on the main conclusions of the study, is that the observed relation only appears to be correlational. This may mean that the results could in part be influenced by significant third variables such as promotion and overall popularity. Since the report is only available in Japanese we were unable to confirm whether this was taken into account.
From Japanator. Really, there’s nothing more I can say about it that it can’t say on its own. :D
Haruka Tomatsu - Monochrome Full (Star Driver - Fish Girl’s Insert Song). Absolutely beautiful.
Latest Supernatural Anime Trailer (2) HQ HD (via Aaron Williams).
“Oh God, they’re making a Supernatural anime? … OH GOD, IT’S BY MADHOUSE?!”
Bleach - Opening 1 - Asterisk (Orange Range) (via Caraniel’s Ramblings). As the person who wrote the entry mentioned, this song brings back so many good memories, and some sad ones. I remember watching this opening several years ago, and thinking how cool it and Bleach was.
Cromartie High School opening. I’m currently watching this. 26 10-minute episodes, all of which are on the far side of comprehensible.
Lyrics can be found in the video note here.
【Touhou Anime】幻想万華鏡 ~The Memories of Phantasm~【東方】 (via Original Sound Version). The animation is apparently the work of either one man or a very small independent group, and it’s remarkably impressive. The music is by Iceon, and, as you’ve no doubt guessed, the characters are from the incredibly popular shmup series Touhou.
多田葵 - Brave Song. I mentioned a few times that I liked Angel Beats!, and I’ve said to a few people that the ED is wonderful. I’ve just realised that it’s sung by Aoi Taba, who voiced Ed in Cowboy Bebop, twelve years ago, at the age of 17. Something of a coincidence.
Eden of the East ED 1080p. Just finished this series (eleven episodes), and it was great. The OP is an Oasis song, so it’s highly unlikely that it’ll remain on YouTube long enough to post. For a version with subtitles, go here.
I ordered a Revoltech Vash the Stampede figure from Play-Asia. It arrived five days after it was shipped. So, I took some unboxing photos, due to having nothing better to do.
