Halo Legends is out!

Remember last year when we wrote about the (then upcoming) Halo Legends anime? This is a series of 7 animated shorts that pay homage to the Halo franchise of video games, and are animated by some of the hottest anime studios, including BONES, Production I.G., Studio 4C, and Toei, and with notable project participants [...]

The K-On! School is Real!

First, there was the story of the increased popularity of the Washimiya, Saitama area of Japan (and in particular the Washinomiya Shrine located there) because of the fact that much of the anime “Lucky Star” is based in that area. Now comes word of the latest real-life-spot-turned-otaku-mecca, Toyosato High School in Shiga Prefecture.

What? [...]

Crunchyroll app now available in Boxee

Boxee is one of my favorite media center applications. Available for the Mac, Windows, Linux, and AppleTV, Boxee presents an excellent “10-foot interface” ideal for use on a Media Center computer – that is, a computer hooked up to a large-screen TV, projector, etc. It makes it really easy to watch/listen to your [...]

Quick, set your DVRs: Spike TV to show exclusive Halo Legends preview tomorrow night!

Psst – are you a fan of the wildly popular Halo video game franchise?  Do you get Spike TV on your cable or satellite lineup?  Then you might want to set your DVR to record Spike TV’s “GTTV Presents Halo 3: ODST Countdown to Launch” special.  Which, at least according to my TV schedule, starts [...]

Want to find good places to eat in Tokyo? There’s an app for that!

One of the latest buzzwords in mobile technology these days is augmented reality.  It’s the combination of a live (real-time) view of the world that is overlaid – or augmented – with computer-generated imagery that somehow builds on what you are seeing and enhances it.  Probably the most well-known example of this is a heads-up [...]

ADV is dead, long live ADV!

Another one bites the dust…  or does it???

At first blush, the recent announcement that ADV Films is shutting its doors, sounds dire indeed.  All across the Intarwebs there has been the expected wailing and gnashing of teeth among anime fans, and comparisons to other grisly anime company implosions such as Geneon and Central Park [...]

Eureka Seven feature film to be screened on September 24

Still working on the next episode.  We’ve had a bit of a heat wave lately, which has made recording impossible (unless you happen to like the sound of a loud air conditioner droning on in the background while I’m talking…)  Fortunately it’s cooled down this weekend, plus we have a holiday on Monday (so no [...]
