Japanese broadcaster TBS is said to be contemplating a live-action drama adaptation of moe blob anime K-ON!

Since the source is 2ch, the information (and the above image) may be complete fancy or an unerringly accurate leak of insider info, but whatever the case K-ON! fans wasted no time in condemning the mere suggestion that such an adaptation might be being considered.

TBS is currently reeling from a disastrously ill received drama adaptation of long running police manga Kochikame, so this presumably implies they are either foolish enough to go ahead or chastened enough to back away, assuming this rumour is anything more than the crazed ramblings of 2ch…

[Double U Tee Efff?!!!!]

According Square Enix game designer Tetsuya Nomura, Final Fantasy XIII will be playable. His title, Final Fantasy Versus, won't be anywhere to be seen, however.

Unlike last year, Square Enix will not be screening trailers for upcoming titles like Final Fantasy Versus XIII and instead will be focusing on playable demos for titles due out in the next year.

That apparently means no new trailers, screens or footage of Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Final Fantasy Agito XIII or Parasite Eve: The Third Birthday.

Final Fantasy XIII is slated for this winter in Japan, while FF Versus XIII still is TBA. Surely, people can make due with a new FFXIII demo, no?

I just watched Kamen Rider Decade Episode 31, the final episode! Some peeps might`ve thought after watching this episode; Toei`ve wasted a 31 episode series to make a commercial for a movie(All Rider vs Dai Shocker)!

This episode(31) tied up the loose end of the Dai Shocker arc and Apollo Geist while also leading up to the Decade Double movie(FYI, there`ll be a new film featuring Decade would be released in December 12, 2009. Double was also featured in the sequence. In this movie All of the mysteries [about Decade] will be answered) which would allow it more time to wrap things up for the series, would you prefer they squeeze it all into just one half an hour episode, personally I`m glad that Toei is deciding to do another movie and it is probably a whole lot better than it could have ever been as an episode or two.

I enjoyed this final episode. The storyline might have been a bit off sometimes, but overall, this show was an anniversary show. It was primarily to have fun and make people enjoy the return of older Riders, which it did great.

Right now I`m trying to find the download link for All Rider vs Dai Shocker and I cant wait to watch Kamen Rider Double! =="

Gamer is an upcoming science fiction action thriller film written and directed by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor. The film stars Gerard Butler as an unwilling participant in an online game in which participants can control human beings as players. Gamer will be released in North America on September 4, 2009. The plot of this movie really caught my eye!!!

Plot Summary:


"Gamer" is a high-concept action thriller set in a near future when gaming and entertainment have evolved into a terrifying new hybrid. Humans control other humans in mass-scale, multi-player online games: people play people... for keeps. Mind-control technology is widespread, and at the heart of the controversial games is its creator, reclusive billionaire Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall). His latest brainchild, the first-person shooter game "Slayers," allows millions to act out their most savage fantasies online in front of a global audience, using real prisoners as avatars with whom they fight to the death.

Kable ("300's" Gerard Butler) is the superstar and cult hero of the ultraviolent "Slayers." Kable is controlled by Simon, a young gamer with rock star status who continues to defy all odds by guiding Kable to victory each week. Taken from his family, imprisoned and forced to fight against his will, the modern day gladiator must survive long enough to escape the game to free his family, regain his identity and to save mankind from Castle's ruthless technology.

You can get more information here.



A Pilot Edition of this anime will ship on DVD or Blu-ray Disc (BD) on September 30. The Pilot Edition will bundle a CD single with a new recording of the song's "live perfomance" version, as well as a booklet with image sketches for the anime. Here`s the trailer:



And here`s the link to the official website. (Thanks to Sushi-san for the heads up!^^)


The English localization is almost done. But the Japanese build of Final Fantasy XIII, shown off at Gamescom, gives you a good idea of what to expect in the gameplay when the title releases next year for Xbox 360 an PS3.

FFXIII's developer notes the game's combat mechanism employs something they call the "paradigm shift" engine, which allows you to assign objectives to party members as a strategic choice. Stackable action commands will also lend an action game pace and feel to the game.

There are two more videos at GameTrailers, featuring an interview with FFXIII's director and producer.

This is the summary for Gundam 00I. I got this from AniMatsuri!^^

In this chapter, one of the Meisters, Hallelujah (Allelujah) appears.

The title is #I02 “Hunter”

The story starts 124 years ago on earth. Lars and his wife were viewing the news about the probe that left for Jupiter in a room. It is said that Lars’ friend is also in the Jupiter probe ship. Lars views the film with a complicated expression. His wife (She resembles Anew. The reason is stated later by the Doctor) says to him, “It’s alright. Don’t feel lonesome. You have me,” and tightly embraces him. “I promise. Our child, and I, will always be beside you. You are not alone.” At the adjoining room, their daughter who sleeps looks at the two. The reminiscing scene changed, and in the heavy rain, Lars is shouting. On his arms is the dead body of his wife with a knife thrust into her chest.

The flashback ended and it is back to AD2312.
Leif looks at the images of the army, searching for his comrades [I believe this is in reference to the 6 he has to look for in his mission], but found no one. The purpose is that in case they are to fight an enemy mobile suit, they need to be sure that one of their own is capable of fighting. Through the Doctor’s treatment, fortunately the life of Buryun [spelling?], who was shot by Lars, was saved. However, whether his ability to carry out his mission still remains even when his head was shot, is not yet known.

At about that time, Lars, who had a rifle, muttered in the forest, “A false person…”

The scene goes back, and Leif and the Doctor continues their conversation. The two continued to talk about Innovades. The Doctor says that, “The Innovades are built very well.” If you look at the physiology of Innovades, there is nothing that is inferior to humans. They are made using human genes, and the humans who furnished the genes, from whom they are modeled, are important. [ahahaha Beatrice, Didier come here darlings]

Because the Innovades do not age, their life as a human in human society is also limited. It is up to 10 years before Veda orders them to “Return”. However, the Doctor stayed with society up to about 20 years. The Doctor says, “Perhaps because I became too famous as a doctor, that it was hard for Veda to tell me to ‘Return’.”

Leif also talks. “It seems that for children like Buryun, ‘Return’ is also fast.” The Doctor retorts, “In the situation that a household contains a child, all members are Innovades.”

“It’s sad, isn’t it. The memory of the child who was made to return is deleted…” The Doctor objects to Leif who was sighing. “That depends on how you look at it. Certainly upon Veda’s command, our memories are deleted. It is the same as the death of the personality. However, the person is not biologically dead. Once more, upon the download of a new personality, they are restored to society as a different person.”

Leif cries, “That is also very sad! My previous memories – My family and friends, were all lies!”

After a moment of silence, the Doctor also replied again. “But the memories personally lived in this society are genuine. And the various encounters too. I want to value those such things.” Leif frailly agrees.

A short time after that, Leif finished the army image validation work. But he didn’t find his comrades there. While Leif was working, the Doctor confirmed Lars’ true character by accessing Veda. He is “Lars Grise”. From year AD2185 up to the present time, he has been living with the human society for about 130 years. But his information upload to Veda has been cut off for several years, and as it is, his link is also suspended. However, Veda continues to follow Lars by an external surveillance. The behavior he took is that of an “Innovade Hunter”. He continues to kill Innovades only for more than 100 years, and up to now has killed several hundreds of Innovades. Because of Veda’s intervention, he has never been caught as a mass murderer. Because among the victims there are many that have the same outward appearance, Veda deals with the data and falsifies it.

Leif replies that there are two posibilities to be considered from this information. Either Lars as an Innovade Hunter is not related to the 6 comrades he is looking for. Or he is related to it, and he hasn’t been successful in finding the 6 comrades because of what he has been doing for more than 100 years. Now, Leif and gang, regarding that mission…

At that time, the Doctor’s cellphone rang. Buryun has disappeared from the sickroom. How can he do so, when he’s not supposed to be able to move on his own?

A young girl is in a gloomy room. Wearing a gothloli style attire and sitting on a chair, the young girl (Sondheim) addresses the whole world using QBW. “Anyone… Isn’t anyone here? Please answer.” There was a person who replied to her voice. “Who is it? The guy with the big voice is…” the Federation Army imprisoned “Hallelujah” replies.

“Y-you can’t move can you? Just like me.” Allelujah (Hallelujah)’s imprisonment establishment is reflected.

Original text from Ngee Khiong`s burogu:


The story will focus on the period before the beginning of Gundam Double O TV series season 2, when the Celestial Beings collapsed, nations integrating into Earth Federation and the violent oppression by Arrows. "Veda" and "Awakening" will be the keywords of this new side story it seems.

Gundam Double O now has four side stories: 00V, 00P, 00F and this 00I. It can be confusing distinguishing between them ^^;

Hatsune Miku as Kamen Rider V3! LOL!!! Watch the video! xD

Fuji TV has unveiled its next Monday night drama series. Tentatively titled "Tokyo DOGS ~Saiaku de Saikou no Partner~," the show will feature popular actors Shun Oguri (26) and Hiro Mizushima (25) teaming up as police detectives.

"Tokyo DOGS" will be the first true police drama to air in Fuji TV's Monday 9:00pm time slot. This is also the first time for either actor to be cast in that time slot.

Oguri has the starring role as Sou Takakura, who witnessed his father's murder at a young age. Pledging to catch the killer, he grows up to become an elite cop in New York City, where the criminal lives. His character is cool-headed and disciplined, yet adapts well. Because of major drug dealings, he gets sent to Tokyo to conduct a joint investigation with the Japanese police. There, he gets teamed up with a detective from a special investigative division (Mizushima).

Mizushima's character is a hot-blooded fighting expert due to his earlier days as a delinquent, but he makes a strong impression with his stylish appearance and is always interested in going on group dates. His personality, interests, and investigation methods are completely mismatched with Oguri's, but the two somehow work together to crack the case they've been given.

Cast in the heroine role is Yuriko Yoshitaka (21), playing a mysterious woman who holds the key to the case, though she has lost part of her memory due to trauma. Her relationship to the two actors will also be one of the drama's key points.

"Tokyo DOGS" will premiere this October.

I`m a fan of Oguri Shun and the plot sounds interesting to me! Definitely gonna watch this drama!^^
