An animation of some sort for the the manga and PSP game .Hack//Link is currently in production. It will not be a television series, though what exactly they have planned is not explained in any detail. If I had to guess, perhaps it will be something similar to the .Hack/Liminality OVA’s that were released with the original PS2  games, or even a movie.

I am a huge fan of the original 2002 anime series .Hack//Sign. I lost interest in the spin off series which seemed to lack both …

While it is very rare of me to say anything negative about my favorite series Rurouni Kenshin, I had never heard the Animax English dub till now. The dub which aired and was released in America was by Media Blasters and was by dub standards, decent.

If you for some reason wished to listen to the Animax Dub it is available free online at crackle.
Kenshin’s voice is actually tolerable, but it seemed a little bit too childish and hyper compared to any Kenshin I would imagine. Perhaps “Worst Dub ever” Is …

Halo Legends was officially announced at Comic-Con ‘09, and then on September 17, it was previewed on Spike TV. For those who didn’t get the chance to catch it, you can view it below! I’m not sure if Spike TV or Microsoft will be taking it down, so watch it while its still up =).

“It’s a wildly varied genre, but anime creators do things with weapons and vehicles and technology nobody else does and that marries very well with Halo. It’s amazing to see some of the new stuff they’re …

A big fan of the anime series Valkyria Chronicles, I am looking forward to the release of the OST this coming 30 September, 2009!

Folks in Japan will be able to purchase this awesome Sengoku Basara Limited Edition Bento by Kobayashi, a bento producer based in Sendai City in the northern Japanese prefecture of Miyagi. Until December 31, 2009, the vendors at Japan Railways station in Sendai will sell the bento.

The Sengoku Basara anime version of the real-life samurai Masamune Date adorns the wrapping on the Dokuganryuu Masamune Bento. Who would consume the bento after buying?XD. Keep it!!
The bentō helps promote the “Sendai-Miyagi ‘Date na Tabi’ Campaign,” which will bring sightseers of historical Japan …

I was inspired to make this post because of  this post on what Japan’s Top 10 list of Manga they’d like to see continued.
No real stats on this list though, Just my personal Preferences.
As I was making it up I couldn’t help but wonder why girl oriented anime series, or rather why all my favorite series, always seems to end without a completion.

This album was released last week 09.09.09, I totally forgot that I wanted to listen to the tracks on it. Must have been my crappy week last week ._. Putting that aside, readers who have been following zotaku for a long time should know my obsession with Hocchan.. And that is why I wanted to listen to it! More Hocchan songs ^_^
There are two CDs in this album, the first CD is the Character Songs by the various Seiyuus in the anime, and the second CD is the OST. I’m …

As we all know not a lot of people support the anime industry one way or another, as a result, the anime DVD and Blu-ray sales decreased by 12% and the market has been having a pessimistic prospect for the industry.

According to the report of Japan Video Software Association (JVA), the total sales of the anime DVD and Blu-ray in the first half of fiscal year 2009 increased by 2.3% compared to those of the last year.

Blu-ray sales definitely increase a lot this year. Could be due to the fact …

Fancy catching a movie? The most recent news of watching a movie in Sendai, Japan is that a PS3 console was being used to project the movie, Kara no Kyoukai – the Garden of sinners.
Folks have claimed that they saw messages to charge the USB controller. LOL!

According to one site, the Blu-ray version of the film is being screened, but Wired Vision confirmed this with the film’s distributor and Sony subsidiary Aniplex that a data file of the movie is running off of a PS3. The film is in full …
