In case you haven’t realised, the song’s in German XD MOSKAU! MOSKAU! PLEASE RESPECT RETARDIA! WHOOPS, I NEED INSURANCE CARD! OH HO HO HO HO, HEY!

And now you know way more about this song than you ever wanted to XD)
Now, consider that the Japanese downgrade their fries and drinks by one size, so our medium is their large (and I speak from experience; I’ve seen quite a few Japanese tourists take one look at our medium drinks and basically go “PHWAR SHO BIG ARH”).
How in the nine hells does this continue to sell in Japan again?
So apparently, Capcom decided that after 10 years Street Fighter fans need a sequel, a movie AND an anime to be released in quick succession, blithely ignoring the obvious questions like “Why not just make the damned movie an OVA”, etc. Anime trailer ahoy!
Also of note is the recent press release thingy held at Comic-con ‘08 where the producer fielded questions and also showed off an animated teaser/intro thingamajig for SFIV (skip to the end if you don’t want to hear the Q&A):
So now we have an anime, an anime….intro….thing, and 2D stills for the story sequences in SFIV. Cue cries of “WHY IS THE MOVIE #$%\^-ING LIVE ACTION” and “2D NOT 3D”
So it seems that the Spider-man shoujo series (well, technically it’s a Mary-Jane series) was successful enough that Marvel now intends to make an X-Men shoujo series.
Manganews reports that Marvel announced two upcoming collaborations, which will both have manga-style artwork in the Western left-to-right format, at the recent New York Anime Festival. A shonen manga on Wolverine was probably to be expected, but they also revealed plans for the aforementioned X-Men shoujo.
Press release can be read here, concurring newsarama thread where I got the early concept art over here, queue to put in your OMGWTF starts waaaaay over there.
So I happened to be in an arcade the other day and found DeathSmiles, the new side-scrolling SHMUP Cave just put out earlier this year featuring moe meido chara designs by Junya Inoue. Of course, that in itself wouldn’t warrant a new post on the blog……until I found this.
That there is the back of the arcade flyer for DeathSmiles. Gotta love those crazy japanese developers XD
In other news, the idolM@ster is apparently getting a new expansion pack……thingy, and a limited edition figurine will be bundled with what I’m assuming are the pre-ordered special editions. Anyone wanna translate for the nihongo-challenged among us? XD
