So apparently Vertigo Entertainment(which is not the Vertigo relating to DC Comics) is working on a US adaptation of Death Note. It is not confirmed what type of adaptation will take place but we’re questioning the ability of America to screw up a perfectly good thing.

Bandai in its infinite wisdom to make themselves a continued running gag with us has announced a peculiar license Eiga de Tōjō! Tamagotchi Doki Doki! Uchū no Maigotchi!? which is based around Tamagotchi.
Yes, that Tamagotchi. The little freaking key chain pet thing that children in the late 90’s would obsess over.
In all honesty, I can see that this would be a good draw for the kids demographic of anime… but if they’re going to do this they might as well release… POGS! The Anime!
We all know the rumorish news that Production IG had been allowed to pitch off the rights to make a Ghost in the Shell live action movie and we have a winner: Dreamworks.

Found this whilst on the tubes:
Here is that video I was talking about back in Episode 60. Enjoy. Its enjoyable.

But one of our favorite people on earth combined the two into something wonderful. Its a parody on the current World of Warcraft ads, check it out.
It would appear there’s a new Appleseed TV series in the works. A pre-release announcement has been made with an official announcement to be made on March 30th.

This will be based upon the original Appleseed created by Masamune Shirow.
