I know I already posted about this in the Comic Book and Video Game update, but I had to post something one more time. No More Heroes for the Nintendo Wii is a-fucking-mazing. This game is made for fans like us. It’s a celebration to the Japanese Fanboy and fanboys in general. The story of the game plays out like something out of a tokusatsu like Cutey Honey the Live, GARO and Sh15uya, the game play is slick and fun, and the sheer style emminating from this game has me in a constant state of grinning while playing it.
Seriously… buy this game. The 50 dollar price tag is a bit steep, but I fully believe the developer deserves every single penny for this inspired piece of art. If you pick it up, pop on into the forums to let us know what you think. In the meantime to wet your whistles, here’s the opening to the game and after the jump… the first boss battle against Death Metal the Holy Sword.
MUSICAL SUITE: FATHER AND SON VIOLIN
Airs February 3rd 2008.
Shizuka has accepted another violin repairing job in the absence and without permission of Wataru, who keeps working hard to some day obtain the particular color his father’s violin has. Complaining, Wataru receives the case from Shizuka and opens it, it is a violin with a big crack across it. Wataru is frightened at the sight of the violin, why?
22 years ago, 1986. Yuri is told by Shima to protect a young violinist named Hitomi. A Fangaia who targets only female violinists seems to have appeared. Yuri then goes to where Hitomi is and finds none other but Otoya with her. Apparently he is a former violinist and he coaches Hitomi.
Meanwhile, in the present time, Wataru goes looking for ingredients to repair the violin. Megumi catches him again doing weird things and is about to tell him off again but…
In 1986, Yuri finally confronts the Fangaia but it’s true identity is…!
LESSON 47: SABA-SABA! KENDAN NOW
Airs February 3rd 2008.
Invited by Jan, Rio and Mele approach SCRTC. However, Ran and Retsu can’t forgive them so easily for all the people they made suffer. So, they decide to perform a Kendan, a battle between those who commit a crime and those who judge it. Three days from now, Ran and Retsu will face Rio and Mele in a Kendan Battle. However, the supposedly defeated Sanyo appears…
The above image is from a middle school pamphlet promoting the Beijing Olympics. Now I’m not a big Haruhi freak or anything (even though this marks the sixth time I’ve referenced said anime in a blog entry >_>) but my question is how the fsck do they expect to get away with this now that the images are online? Are they going to try saying that she’s like cars from a distance to justify it or something?
(Scroll down a bit for that link to see what I’m getting at but ten points to your house if you get the reference right away.)
This is a hell of a thing to come back to after my b-day vacation. That and the fact that Rambo (lit. The Second Coming of Commando) was bested at the box office by THIS atrocity (Which has me sobbing softly for Kevin Sorbo’s career). Hopefully, this week’s Friday ACE should clear things up.
The hits just keep on comin’! First we get that ACen is getting Power Rangers, and now they’re getting the Power Ranger’s greatest foe… the Fallen Ranger, Lord Zedd himself! Sure you met the guy in the suit at the Power Morphicon, but now…. meet the voice behind the mask!
We’re making battle plans and taking a roll call already on who’s going to be there. Don’t miss out!

Is this the NEW Captain America?! AVENGERS: THE INITIATIVE #9
KILLED IN ACTION (Part 2 of 4)
“The First Casualty”
The Initiative’s biggest secret hasn’t come back to haunt them, it’s come back to KILL THEM! Blood will run, heads will roll, and this time “dead” means DEAD! Say goodbye to at LEAST one regular cast member as KILLED IN ACTION starts racking up its body count. You know, maybe this WASN’T such a good time for TASKMASTER, ANT-MAN, and the new recruits to sign up… X-MEN: EMPEROR VULCAN #5
The star-shattering conclusion! Everything has been building to this…Polaris versus the Imperial Guard. Marvel Girl versus Gladiator. And finally, brother versus brother. Havok makes his final stand against Vulcan, whose power dwarfs his own. Who will control the M’Kraan Crystal? Will the Shi’Ar Empire break apart, or unite? What is the fate of the Scy’ar Tal? And will any of the X-Men survive to tell the tale? The answers will surprise you.
The end of “Messiah CompleX” signals a bold, new direction for the Children of the Atom and we’re now pulling back the curtain to reveal what’s on tap for the all the X-titles! Warning: Possible spoilers ahead! More…
