The Revolution Is Coming!

Are you ready for the revolution?

Aya Hirano, J-pop, Nijuu-mensou no Musume, updates

Aya Hirano’s Best Single Yet!

Aya’s Unnamed World single is absolutely her best yet. It surpasses Neophilia on many levels. I agree with Hashihime that Aya’s best music is being ignored. Aya rocks harder then she had rocked before. Its no surprise that her best musical effort yet is being hated on by the otaku once again. At least they think her performance in Nijuu-mensou no Musume is good for once. Her new hair cut makes her look ten times more cute in the video. This single is totally worth importing. Also, Nijuu-mensou no Musume is an awesome show.

If you are wondering why there haven’t been any updates in a while, It’s because I’ve been preparing Anime Genesis for it’s move into…video…that’s right video. Also I have two huge announcements to make that you are not going to want to miss. Really these are two really big announcements. I should make first announcement by the end of the week, so keep checking the site for updates.

Macross Frontier - Episode 1

The first episode of Macross Frontier is now out in Japan. There was an earlier promo version of the first episode out with no intro song and different scenes. The broadcast version has a bit more back-story explanation and different scenes. The CG of the space and fight scenes are sleek and detailed as VF fighters fly through space. The big shock for me was the music. Yoko Kanno who is well known for doing the music in shows such as Wolf’s Rain and Macross Plus is also doing the music for Macross Frontier. The only issue I have is we don’t know much about the characters, but its too early in the series to expect. Since this is the first episode, I would like to see how the show evolves in later episodes.

The Otaku Second Life?


ANN reports that there will be a 3d world type mmo where you will be able to create your own character and interact with various characters from Clannad, Shuffle, and Da Capo. This is really interesting. It sounds alot like second life. We will probably never see anything like this in the US though.
