The latest light novel to anime conversion is Infinite Stratos, a relatively new and unknown series by rising author Yumizuru Izuru. The science fiction series has sold 400,000 total copies over five books so far, which is a modest success but nothing to write home about – for comparison, the To Aru Majutsu no Index novels [...]

Remember when G4 used to show anime? Yeah, neither do I. But, in a move designed to grab the same crossover audience that both Marvel and Madhouse are going for with their Marvel Anime collaboration, G4 is reviving its “anime” block in 2011 with all four Madhouse anime based on Marvel properties: Iron Man, The X-Men, [...]

Update: The Super Robot Wars official anime page is up, and gives the new anime a fall season start date! What’s this I see on the Internet?

In the United States vs. Ghana match tomorrow, the United States team is going up against famed Ligue 1 striker Asamoah Gyan. Ghana’s national team is also nicknamed the Black Stars. In my mind, this means that the US game plan is simple. – Ghana will most likely play an attacking 4-3-3 formation, with Gaia, [...]

So, do you guys remember Jinki: Extend? It was a relatively forgettable mecha anime back in 2005, though the manga has been running on and off since 2002. Today, I was a bit shocked to see it in the purple section of Moon Phase dedicated to adult games. It turns out that the manga property [...]

Above is the main reason I’m excited for a new season of Code Geass. I’ve always had an obsession with Spanish guitar, and between composer Nakagawa Koutarou and singer/songwriter Sakai Mikio, they’ve delivered the goods on guitar since 2001′s s-CRY-ed.
