The Lollipop Chainsaw game does for Zombies what the Buffy TV show did for Vampires. Rest assured, this is already on my Must Have list!

An interesting twist on the Shakespeare legend, this historical fantasy looks like it could be intellectually satisfying as well as just plain fun. Anonymous opens October 28th in the US, November and December for the rest of the world.
Yes, it is true; the game is migrating to the small screen. Black Rock Shooter on TV will lead the winter lineup in January on Fuji TV’s set of programming. Hatsune Miku sings the theme song for the series with the musical group Supercell and the composer Ryo, and a one hour OVA was previously put together by Studio Ordet with a release to magazines. As of a few days ago, a game edition of Black Rock Shooter with animation by ufotable also hit the shelves. If you are a fan of the game, keep your eye out for the Anime.
This is frackin’ hysterical….
The second in the series of Mardock Scramble movies is going to be rolling out shortly, and in honor of that there will be a live-broadcast talk event on Ustream and Nico Nico Douga at 7PM Tokyo time tomorrow, 30Aug11, which is 5AM PST, and 8AM EST, but at least all on the same day. The guests on screen include the writer (Tow Ubukata wrote both the sci-fi novels and the screenplays), the director, and the lead actor (actress, in this case). The first film doesn’t get released in the US for another month yet on September 27th, but the English trailer for it is now available (the second one here), and it will be OnDemand from The Anime Network in October.
Both of the two offerings this week seem to be in the horror field, which I am not a fan of (unless the film has a good level of comedy to balance it out, which these don’t appear to have). If I had to pick one, I suppose it would be Apollo 18, because at least that one takes place off Earth, unlike Shark Night 3D. But I think I will give them both a pass, and use the time I free up to catch up with some current Anime series I am behind on, instead.
