Here’s some good news for Evangelion fans. According to sources, Evangelion 2.22 will have a local DVD release very soon (within the first half of July). While there are fans who have manged to source them in from Japan or Hong Kong for quite a while now, the difference is that not only does it come with English and Chinese subtitles, it also will be priced significantly lower than overseas sites like Amazon.co.jp or Play-Asia. Still no word on a local Blu-Ray release so let’s keep our fingers crossed…

Studio Ghibli’s Ni no Kuni on the PS3
It’s no secret that one of the most successful Japanese animation studio is making a game with Level 5, the people who brought us PS3′s White Knight Chronicle and DS’s Professor Layton.
Now the game’s name is Ni no Kuni, or The Other World. The game, subtitled Shikkoku no Madoushi, is first announced for the Nintendo DS 2 years ago and is on the way to becoming a major success story this winter. Recently, they announce another game, titled Ni no Kuni: Shiroki Seihai no Joou developed for the Playstation 3.
The PS3 game will not be a port of the DS version, an both game will be different from each another in terms of gameplay, graphics and focus, thus linking them together will only be storyline, even thou they are not going to be the same.
And from the premier trailer, it looks absolutely stunning! Just like in the upcoming animation.
Note: At the 40th second there is a comparison between animation and the PS3 ingame graphic.
From the looks of it, it will be much like the classic RPG, but the story and art will be from Ghibli which will really make a big difference.
The game will be released in Japan 2011, with other territories unknown. Hopefully it will not take a year, like the White Knight Chronicles…

Young Haruhi Figma… Nice~
Looks like a certain pedo bear will be having a new target soon… Anyway, this figma is really delicious and is threatening to really burn my wallet further… …
Young Haruhi comes complete with a line drawer, in case she goes toy story and has nothing to do… But I must say, she looks grumpy… It will be a lot better if she comes with a happy, curious or something not that unhappy face. That way, I won’t feel bad looking at her too.
The text reads:
Figma Haruhi Suzumiya Secondary school Ver. By GSC Max Factory. Price 2800 yen. Release Date TBA. Full Colour PVC and ABS resin. Height about 12.5 cm. Modeled by uh…
Now I’m really sorry but I can’t really read names… Even some of the text is a guessing game for me… I’m sorry if i got the information wrong but do correct me, please!
