Tenchi Box Set

Here's the (crummy) trailer. Bad trailer or no, first paycheck I get - this is getting picked up. 0_0; /fangasm

Go Away, Jessica Biel

First there were rumors of Jessica Biel being up for the lead in the Chun Li street fighter movie. This was ridiculous because she's not Chinese, and Chun Li is very much so.

Now in a further attempt to defile my geekdom, rumors abound that she wants to play Wonder Woman in the upcoming Justice League film.

No Jessica. NO. *swat* Go away, whitebread lady.

I know darn well I won't get any Greek actresses for our favorite amazon in the same way they keep trying to cast Chun Li as a white girl. Can we at least get someone vaguely ethnic to play this role? Perhaps someone with naturally dark hair? Am I asking for too much here?

I'll cast my vote for Salma Hayek, even though she's currently preggers. It doesn't film for a while, she'll do fine. She's lovely, shapely, and can do action films. She may have to work on the accent though.

Negima Live Action Trailer

Originally found at Narutard

So, this is how you fit around 30 supporting characters into a movie trailer 0_0; Geez, look at the yearbook pic at the very end if nothing else. Oh and Negi is played by a girl...and no one is surprised.

Pirate Bay Attacks!

The Pirate Bay is suing various companies for hiring hackers to attack their site. Behold their blog post.

Thanks to the email-leakage from MediaDefender-Defenders we now have proof of the things we've been suspecting for a long time; the big record and movie labels are paying professional hackers, saboteurs and ddosers to destroy our trackers.

While browsing through the email we identified the companies that are also active in Sweden and we have tonight reported these incidents to the police. The charges are infrastructural sabotage, denial of service attacks, hacking and spamming, all of these on a commercial level.

Wow. They have giant kahones cojones to even attempt this. (thanks Jiff ^_~)

Witchblade Review

theOtaku.com has a review of the first Volume of Witchblade. I agree with most everything they have to say but I feel like they're being polite in their review of the English voice actor. Masane as Witchblade sounds like a porn star "in the middle of it". Go watch the video on Funi's site if you don't believe me. NSFW (click on the video itself to pause it.) I looked around a bit to hear the Japanese voice actress for Witchblade!Masane, but it seems that when she is fighting she's not very chatty. Less talk, more rock, as it were. One other little thing they missed is that there is no blood in the fights, it's this white...goo.

So, suggestive stuff aside, Witchblade really is a good series. Masane in non-Witchblade form is a very likable character. You really want her to succeed. In addition, the supporting cast is very strong. There are other wielders, aside from Masane, but you'll have to watch the series to learn more about them. I'm not being spoilerific today, kthx.

If you can handle the t&a and the voice acting, there really is a good series beyond the breasts. (unlike the manga, that seems unable to be salvaged at this point...but that's a post for another day.)

ADV Holds Best. Sale. Evar.

ADV is celebrating it's 15th anniversary in a BIG WAY.

All of their new releases are being sold for 15.00! In addition to that, some of the older stuff has been significantly discounted. I mean from 2 to 8 dollars discounted. I'm going to take this opportunity to fill in some holes in my anime collection. I could finish up 3 series for less than 40 bucks.

Dear ADV,
To quote a partridge...
"Hey, I think I love you."
