Monday, June 2nd, 2008

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.

The production notes for the recent horror films Shutter and The Strangers both reveal that America’s Vertigo Entertainment is developing a remake of the Death Note franchise and has hired Vlas and Charles Parlapanides to write the screenplay.

Tamagotchi Anime Movie?!

Friday, May 30th, 2008

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!

As you know we here at SHAFT are fans of not only anime but a great variety of things, among them… World of Warcraft.
