Does it mean that the Anime in fall are good?

Well we will continue our list of reviews for the Animes, which almost all starts in October which is Fall…

Super Robot Wars OG: The Inspectors -- Asahi Production

Come on! It’s Super Robot Wars, how can we miss it?

In honesty, I loved the game and they are actually quite good. Oh the memories, the games and how I hope they will soon come to the Playstation 3. Afterall, my other wishes have came true…

Oh about this anime, you might have a better clue when you look at the video preview below,

Look at them, it’s just so damn cool!

Of course, I’ll be expecting Cybuster too, meow!

Expectant Index: ♥♥♥♥♥

Sora No Otoshimono Forte -- AIC A.S.T.A

The second series of the Sora No Otoshimono promise to be more exciting as the evil being’s plot to kill the Uranas Queen, Ikaros, intensifies while she learns more about the human touch. Watch as our heroes fight against the unknown and touch on a dream.

Forte will be airing from October 1st, 2010. And it will be an rather nice season for me, thanks to this. I have seen the original and like it, a lot. So a second season is a plus for me, Yay!

Expectant Index: ♥♥♥♥♥

MM! (えむえむっ！)- XEBEC

Well, Boy meets SM, love the M and joins the club and found a constant source of M. Yup, that’s the gist of the anime. To think Xebec does this type of anime too… I can only remember them doing mecha shows and Heroic Age.

But they sure make animes of good quality. So this show might not be too bad?

Expectant Index: ♥♥♥♥

Soredemo Machi Wa Mawatteiru -- Shaft

A maid, not the Akihabara type, at the tea shop called Seaside, with a girl name Hotori Arashiyama, who’s dreaming of becoming a highschool Detective. That’s the story… … I wonder, if this will become another one of those mystery films…

In this genre, there are like 2 other titles this season, that also involves Detective… hmm so might a well mention them here…

Psychic Detective Yakumo -- Bee Train

A detective with a special power since born… … And  can see spirits and ghost…

Tantei Opera Milky Holmes -- JC Staff

In a different world, everyone is obsessed with becoming either a detective and solving mysteries or becoming a Phantom thief to… Afterall it’s the “age of detectives”! And this story focus on four girls…

Expectant Index for all three shows: ♥♥

I know I’m a little late about this topic, I’m sort of in denial over the the “Jailbreak” of the Playstation 3 software… What brought me back down to earth finally, is the the series of videos that demonstrates how a normal person can jailbreak the PS3 with a Texas Instrument Calculator.

Yes a calculator… … …

Via the use of the software known as PS3Jailbreak, PS3Groove, and etc… It allows owner of the Jailbreaked PS3 to backup their games onto the hard-disk and run the game without the need for the Blu-ray disc.

It’s existence was unceremoniously announced by an Australian retailer some 2 weeks back, with many doubtful eyes looking at it. After all, a famous hacker have just surrendered to the PS3, claiming it to be “Un-Jailbreakable”, looking back at it, it might even be a ruse… haiz…

However all the fun did not last long as the courts of Australia have banned the sales of the device and SONY have released a minor firmware update to patch the  security concern, just yesterday afternoon. But creator of the jailbreak, claims that a update of their own will go around the firmware and thus the Cat and Mouse game shall begin!

I look forward to seeing what the outcome will be, but there are rumors that the latest version of the PS3Jailbreak will allow the PS3 to play Playstation 2 games, that is something that I will want… … or maybe that will force SONY to release their own. Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ

Another do it all person would be Makoto Shinkai(Voice of a Distance Star), before he joined up with his current studio. I really admire people like them, they are so good at what they are doing and have the patients to endure thur the whole production process…

Well, the thing about the fiesta is that… Compared to last year, the layout is the same and there is not much too interesting to see, most of the items are simply a rehash what have been revealed, and the Gundam Builder side is a bit underwhelming. Furthermore when I got there the Gundam Image girls are just going away, so quickly that I don’t even have a picture of them close-up… … … =_=|||

But one thing is for real thou, the sales are real! The cash counter there sure is busy, and make sure you don’t throw away the receipt, for you can collect tokens to redeem for more free stuff!

Maybe because it’s just the first day, but I have a feeling, I’ll be more interested next Saturday, when the special guest, Mr Kawaguchi, the creator of the MG series is there for a workshop.

However I did buy something, despite being broke… Got myself Bonta-kun, he is not gundam, but he is from Bandai’s Robot Spirit series! Some SDX are also on sale there!

So If you are going for some shopping, go to Compass point for the Gundam Fiesta!

Now take a look at my little gallery of pictures of  the event.

Just short of a month after releasing their 2nd album『TEMPTATION BOX』, SCANDAL has announced that they will be releasing their 8th single with different limited editions on the 6th October!

The new single will be titled 「スキャンダルなんかブッ飛ばせ」(SCANDAL Nanka Buttobase) and there will be 3 limited editions along with the regular edition.

Now, the main part, what will the different versions hold.

All the singles will contain the new song “Nanka Buttobase” and the instrumental version. The difference here will be the special DVD each edition gives.

The edition A will come with 「涙のリグレット-SPECIAL CLIP-, edition B will come with 「太陽と君が描くSTORY-SPECIAL CLIP-」and edition C will come with 「瞬間センチメンタル-SPECIAL CLIP-」.

The limited edition singles will cost ¥ 1,020 each and the regular will cost ¥525.

For a single, the price is cheap even for the limited edition! As for the clips, my guess is that they are behind the scenes footages in the process of making the PVs of the songs mentioned.

I would like to see them try… LOL.

The live drama is going to be epic if it can actually be successful. According to Anime News Network, a Taiwan Television Station will be adapting the Romance Comedy manga Hayate no Gotoku by Kenjiro Hata into a Life Action drama, staring the Korean actress, age 20, Pak Shin-Hye as Nagi and Taiwanese Actor, 28 ,George Hu as Hayate.

Pak Shin Hye as Nagi

George Hu as Hayate

Both are understandedly good looking, but they might be a bit out of the age range… If the director wants to follow the script loyally, which they will not. After all, the Taiwan stations are known to loosely base their production on the actual manga.

For example previous Manga inspired dramas like Meteorite Garden based on Hana Yori Dango and Itazaru na Kiss. While Skip Beat! the Taiwanese Live Drama named Extravagant Challenge is still in limbo about it’s production process…

Btw it now features the boys from Super Junior as Ren and Sho… Not sure about their acting thou…

I’ll be eagerly awaiting the product… lol

Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiyah Blu-ray and DVD will be on sale this coming December in Japan, and along with it comes a Limited Edition version Blu-ray that comes with plenty of goodies, these premiums will be demanding either a Hand or a Leg…

The limited editions are priced at a cool 10,500 yen for the Blu-ray and 7980 yen for the dvd… So if you have the money, do yourself proud…

But fear not! Amazon is offering 26% and 20% discount respectively, making it barely affordable… Visit the site to read for yourself the contents…

This would also mean that we are 1 step closer to the English Blu-ray release… For right now, no one knows if the Japanese version includes any English sub or dub…

Source: Temple-Knights

Update: It would be dumb of me if I haven’t expected it… But according to CDJapan’s product data, there will not be an English dub or sub in both the Blu-ray and DVD.

And CDJapan is now taking pre-orders for the Regular edition DVD, Blu-Ray and the Limited Edition DVD and Blu-ray, if you are still interested. For me, it looks like I’ll be giving this a miss and look forward to the Bandai USA’s release…
