Nope, serious. Just be careful when ordering off of ebay, because a lot are in japanese/mandarin with english subtitles. Read the auction carefully. If you want, I can PM you a link to a store that sells all 26 for 30$ or so. Nevermind, here it is http://www.cookiejarvideo.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=14&products_id=1550

RUROUNI KENSHIN Sequel Greenlit, North American Premiere Date Announced
I've been following the production of Studio Swan's adaptation of Rurouni Kenshin for almost a solid year so I find the news of a sequel extremely pleasing. The news was brokered by Spanish distributor Mediatres Studio at a film festival where a crowd was told that 'a sequel is being planned that's true to the manga.'
The film has performed extremely well, earning $36.7M in Japan and $25M in limited international release. There are still quite a few markets left for the film to open in, including Hong Kong, Singapore and the Philippines. The film will be released on blu-ray/dvd on December 26th in Japan.
Equally uplifting news is the announcement that the film will be having its US premiere at LA EigaFest which runs from Dec. 14-16. The film will be released with english subtitles rather than voiceovers. No word yet on a wider release but keep your fingers crossed anime/manga faithful.
Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop I love the music in those...

A great new anime is Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan). This is a great horror / action series. And by "horror" I don't mean gore. There's little of that. It's more the psychological sort of horror.
Here's episode 1.

Full Size PATLABOR Mecha Spotted En Route To Live-Action Filming
Onlookers have managed to capture several snaps of the full-scale replica of the Patlabor mecha being used in the live-action film from Tohokushinsha Film Corporation. The film is currently slated for a 2014 release and has secured the involvement of the anime's original director, Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell). The giant robot was spotted in Yokohama City, which is a little south of Tokyo.
Patlabor also known as Mobile Police Patlabor, is a 1988 anime and manga that centered around the special robotics force of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police as they solved various cases in a then-near-future of 1998. There have been several anime films, anime series, mangas, light novels and video games to date.

Rupert Sanders Haunts Ghost In The Shell
He's on to direct the live-action anime remake
One of the projects that first flared up during a rash of announcements about such adaptations was DreamWorks? acquisition of cult manga/anime title Ghost In The Shell. Things have been largely quiet since then, though Avatar/Shutter Island writer Laeta Kalogridis was hired to craft a new draft of the script back in 2009. Deadline reports that director Rupert Sanders is now the man charged with bringing it to screens.
Sanders, who last made Snow White And The Huntsman, will potentially be working instead from a screenplay by Hoax scribe William Wheeler. We say potentially, because this thing has been floating in development limbo for a while, and has shown no signs of wanting to leave.
Still, despite the understandable concerns of those who love Masamune Shirow?s original 1989 work (which spawned three manga editions, three films a TV series and several video games, Ghost certainly boasts a compelling story angle. The focus is on Motoko Kusanagi, a cyborg law enforcer and part of the member of a covert ops unit of the Japanese National Public Safety Commission, which specialises in tackling technology-related crimes. Live-action will be a tougher medium to work in than either the printed page or animation, but if James Cameron can find a way to shoot Avatar, it?s possible to make a good Ghost film. Assuming you can crack the story properly?
The Wachowski siblings have cited it as one of the major inspirations for the Matrix films, though we?re not sure it should be held responsible for the second and third entries?

Watch the First English Dub Clip of ATTACK ON TITAN
Strap on your 3D maneuver gear and prepare for the sweet strains of Linked Horizon?s ?Guren no Yumiya?, because the first English-language dub clip of Attack on Titan is here at long last. While many diehard anime fans, myself included, have already seen episodes of the massively popular apocalyptic anime series, it hasn?t actually received an official US release yet. Until now, that is. This weekend at Anime Boston (March 21-23), FUNimation will premiere the dub during their panel and, just in case you weren?t in enough suspense, they will be keeping the identity of who will voice series protagonist Eren Jaeger a secret until then. In the meantime, they?ve offered up this first clip of the English dub to give you a taste of the colossal madness you?ll be in for.
Here?s the official synopsis:
When the man-eating giants called Titans first appeared, humans retreated behind massive walls. After a hundred years of safety, a colossal-sized Titan smashes through the defenses, unleashing a flood of giants and carnage in the streets. Eren Jaeger watches helplessly as one of the creatures devours his mother.
He vows to kill every Titan walking the earth.
Eren and his surviving friends enlist to fight against the insatiable monsters. The future looks bleak, but there?s more to Eren than meets the eye: he may be humanity?s last hope against extinction. From the director of Death Note and High School of the Dead comes the series Anime News Network calls ?an intense, visceral, and graphic thrill ride.? The Titans have come to feast. Anything can happen. No one is safe.
And in case you?re already super onboard, FUNimation is selling a collector?s edition Blu-ray and DVD exclusively in its online shop. The special set is scheduled to ship on June 3, 2014

SAILOR MOON Anime Is Reborn, Returns This Summer
After 22 years since its original run, Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon is back. Titled Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Crystal by creator Naoko Takeuchi, the new animated series is not a remake of the original anime, but an adaptation that’s more true to the Sailor Moon manga (think Full Metal Alchemist and Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood).
If that isn’t enough of a treat for you, Sailor Moon’s original voice actress, Kotono Mitsuishi, is reprising her iconic role, while the rest of the cast will be filled out by senshi-newcomers. Mercury will be played by Hisako Kanemoto, Mars by Rina Satou, Jupiter by Ami Koshimizu, and Venus by Sizuka Itou.
Get ready to be as ecstatic as Usagi gets when she sees food. The first episode will air simultaneously worldwide via NicoNicoDouga on Saturday, July 5 at 7 PM Japan time (the same time as the original series run). If you don’t want to do the math, that’s 6 AM EDT and 3 AM PDT July 5th (UTC 10:00). While subsequent episodes will air at the same time every first and third Saturdays of every month, it’s still unknown whether we’ll see the series on TV.
You can take a look at the designs of the inner senshi below. The character re-designs are more in line with the original manga, while still incorporating the familiar look of the ’90s animated series. Sadly, no images have surfaced of everyone’s favorite talking cat, Luna.

Noooo! October is going to suck. I was just getting into Attack on Titan when I looked up that there are only 25 episodes. The bonus and OVA episodes hardly ever get aired here.
After looking that up I saw this:

Here’s The Official DRAGON BALL Z: BATTLE OF GODS US Theatrical Trailer
And now for your Over 9000 news of the day: the Z fighters are reassembling for a new adventure on the big screen. The official US theatrical trailer for Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods emerged today by way of FUNimation, and it’s looking like sweet sweet redemption for anyone who may not have enjoyed Dragonball Evolution (yes, the live-action film combined the words dragon and ball). But enough about that, let’s look at the new hotness in the streets:
Looks like someone’s a little butt hurt over Frieza’s past ass whooping, forcing Goku to level up to a Super Saiyan God in order to protect humanity. Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods will premiere in 350 North American cinemas on August 5.

Anime Icon LUPIN III Unveils New Series Trailer
In Japan, the character of Ars?ne Lupin III is like Batman, Doctor Who, or James Bond?he?s been around forever and continues to be popular. After premiering in Manga series by Monkey Punch beginning in 1976, the Lupin III franchise spawned a second Manga, three anime series, an anime miniseries, seven feature films, 20 video games (!), and yearly Christmas specials. All that for a roguish, violent thief who womanized and exploited people. Everybody loves an anti-hero, right?
Well, the adventures of the dapper bandit and his equally Robin-Hoodish pals are set to continue this fall in a brand new series of Lupin the Third adventures. A trailer (above) has been released in Japan and from the animation style, you can see the creators are very much keeping the visual style the same or similar to the way it was in the 1970s, with visible pencil marks, even though, surely, the 2D art was all drawn digitally as most shows nowadays are. If you?re at all familiar with the shows or films, this trailer captures the spirit of everything that makes Lupin III such a fun character.
The whole gang is back: besides Lupin, we have his trusty right-hand man, Daisuke Jigen; the stoic samurai who owes Lupin his life, Goemon Ishikawa XIII; the classic femme fatale who is both ally and rival, Fujiko Mine; and Lupin?s doofus of an arch nemesis, Inspector Zenigata. However, added to this series is a new character?Lupin?s wife Rebecca Rossellini. That?s bound to change up Lupin?s devil-may-care lifestyle.
Several of the Lupin the 3rd series and films are available to watch on Hulu. One of those films was The Castle of Cagliostro directed by Hayao Miyazaki, which isn?t the most faithful version as Lupin is rather more nice than he is nasty, but still worth looking at.
The new series of Lupin III, which is said to blend both the humorous and dangerous aspects of the character, will begin airing in Italy on August 29th and Japan on October 1st.

Ghost in the Shell Casts Michael Pitt as Villain
http://comicbook.com/2016/02/05/ghost-in-the-shell-casts-michael-pitt-as-villain/
Michael Pitt will clash with Scarlett Johansson in the live-action (and decidedly Americanized) Ghost in the Shell movie. The film has been off and on in the works for several years at Dreamworks, and has recently been picking up steam.
Rupert Sanders is directing the film, and it's scheduled to release March 31, 2017.
Pitt will play The Laughing Man, THR reports, a character not from the original Ghost in the Shell anime film or manga, but from the later TV series, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. He's a high-end hacker, and keeps his face (and acts) hidden behind the logo seen above.
Scarlett Johansson is playing the lead role, though it's unclear if they'll be renaming her character, who in the manga and anime films and series is named Motoko Kusanagi, a Japanese operative.

FLCL Seasons 2 And 3 Announced By Adult Swim
Adult Swim swim has announced a partnership with animation studio Production I.G. (Ghost in the Shell) to produce Seasons 2 and 3 of FLCL, the cult favorite anime released in 2000. The original 6-episode series followed Naota, a 12-year-old boy who met a woman that changed his life forever. Seasons 2 and 3 will each be new six-episode seasons continuing the original series? story.
?The original FLCL is an anime classic and has been a fixture on Adult Swim since we first laid eyes on it,? said Jason DeMarco, senior vice president/creative director, Adult Swim On-Air in a press release. ?I?m beyond thrilled to be able to produce a sequel with the original creators, for Toonami, where it belongs.?
FLCL series creator Kazuya Tsurumaki will return for the new season, serving as supervisor with director Katsuyuki Motohiro (Psycho-Pass) and character designer Yoshiyuki Sadamoto (Neon Genesis Evangelion). Also joining this season is writer Hideto Iwai (Last Dinner).
?FLCL has become an anime classic over the years, yet it has remained vibrant,? said Mitsuhisa Ishikawa, co-founder, president and CEO of Production I.G. ?This new season will capture the hearts of both longtime FLCL fans from around the world and new anime viewers.?
Unfortunately, there was no mention of the Japanese rock group The Pillows returning for the new season. The Pillows? soundtrack was as defining a feature of the original FLCL as the animation itself.
Here?s the season 2 synopsis:
In the new season of FLCL, many years have passed since Naota and Haruhara Haruko shared their adventure together. Meanwhile, the war between the two entities known as Medical Mechanica and Fraternity rages across the galaxy. Enter Hidomi, a young teenaged girl who believes there is nothing amazing to expect from her average life, until one day when a new teacher named Haruko arrives at her school. Soon enough, Medical Mechanica is attacking her town and Hidomi discovers a secret within her that could save everyone, a secret that only Haruko can unlock.
But why did Haruko return to Earth?
What happened to her Rickenbacker 4001 she left with Naota?
And where did the human-type robot ?Canti? go?
All of these questions and more will be answered in the new season of the series, which is set to premiere in late 2017/early 2018 on Adult Swim.
