This week the anime adaptation of Kantai Collection ended in Japan and at the end of the broadcast it was revealed that a second season would be coming. It is currently unknown exactly when this second season will air, especially since this season suffered numerous delays and still was poorly received due to its lack of consistency and heavy focus on an unpopular main character while leaving popular characters in the background.
For those who don’t know, this anime adaptation is of a popular free-to-play browser game of the same name based around “Fleet Girls”, all of whom are vaguely based off of historic WWII ships, as they battle against abyssal ships. At the moment the series has not been licensed for release in the West but is still available for streaming on Crunchyroll.
Fans of A Certain Magical Index will be happy to hear that another manga spin-off has been licensed for English release.

Seven Seas Entertainment is the company that acquired the license and they plan on releasing the first volume of the series in October while the second volume will be released on January 2016.
This means of course that now if you wish to pick up everything related to the series you’ll have to do some shopping around as FUNimation has released both anime seasons of A Certain Magical Index and A Certain Scientific Railgun while Yen Press is localizing the original A Certain Magical Index light novel and now we have Seven Seas Entertainment not only releasing the manga A Certain Scientific Railgun but now Accelerator as well.

The series is currently set to be released on July 28th on DVD and Blu-ray for $59.98 and $69.98 respectively while the Collector’s Edition, which is a combo pack, will cost $129.98.
The No Game, No Life Collector’s Edition will come with a soundtrack CD, posters, stickers, postcards, playing cards, a foil card, and an authenticity note all contained in a special chipboard art box.

The Disney Infinity 2.0 Starter Set came with the Avengers Play Set and three of earth’s mightiest heroes, now the game has come full circle with the release of Loki and Falcon, the final two pieces to the Avengers puzzle. They say that sometimes the best is left to last and these two final characters definitely hold true – they each bring with them new abilities, new animations and some of the most uniquely detailed figures of the set.
Falcon is a lesser-known superhero in from the Marvel Universe, introduced to many fans though either Captain America: The Winter Soldier or in the animated Avengers Assembled. His appearance in Disney Infinity is inspired almost verbatim from the latter, with his red/white/gold outfit and wings of a… falcon (whodathunk it?).
As you would expect from Falcon, his skills lie firmly in the air. his “Into the Clouds” ability can be leveled up to Lv2, making him by far the fastest flier in the entire Disney Infinity line-up, even able to out-speed just about any flying vehicle. This is a double-edged sword as being able to zip about from place to place is incredibly advantagous, but flight controls can be a bit tricky at the best of times, and when you are going at supersonic (slight exaggeration) speeds, it becomes even more difficult.
As for physical attacks, Wilson can hold his own. While no powerhouse like his bff Captain America, he can go toe to toe with other regular humans like Black Widow or Nick Fury. As with most characters, Falcon also has a ranged attack where he shoots off hard-light “Feathers” at his enemies. The feathers are relatively powerful on their own but once leveled up they cause little explosions and can be charged up and fired in rapid succession to become devastating. His special move makes use of these hard-light feathers too, shooting them around him in order to damage all nearby foes.
Falcon has some unique character traits that help separate him from the rest of the DI crew, the first of which is the fact that when he is on the ground his wings aren’t present. They unfurl from his backpack once you leap into the air and begin flying. It isn’t the most impressive of programming to make happen, but it still looks absolutely awesome none the less, and that’s really the point of Disney Infinity isn’t it?
When it comes to his figure, there is only so much that Wilson can do – he wears a tight red/white spandex outfit with a pair of wings, so it is difficult to make him stand out. However, Disney and Avalanche went above and beyond and made his wings out of translucent-red plastic to really have them stand out. Aside from the Infinity Crystal range of figures from the first game, no other character has a similar property on their figure.
It seems fitting that Disney Infinity 2.0 would wrap up with two final additions to the Avengers Play Set, and both Falcon and Loki are incredible figures that add a lot to not only the Play Set, but the Toy Box too. Also, now that all of the figures are released, eager collectors are able to unlock a special Star Wars themed item from the Hall of Super Heroes (but I wont tell you what it is 😉 you’ll have to go find out on your own).
