viz-media-ibooks

Reading manga digitally and on the go has been growing easier rather steadily as various companies have begun to offer digital versions of their manga and Viz Media has been leading the charge in this regard through their own app and a number of other services including one for Kindle.

Well today the company has took another step to make it easier than ever as they have now released over 1,600 manga volumes onto the iBooks Store including volumes of Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Bakuman and even newer titles such as Nisekoi. Individual volumes will cost $6.99 on average and new series and continuing volumes of already added manga will be added on a weekly basis.

Zetman anime to be released on November 5th by Viz

zetman-complete-series-box-artAs you may or may not know, Viz Media has been streaming Zetman over on their English streaming service, Neon Alley, for quite some time and now the company is planning on releasing the entire thirteen episode series on home video next week on November 5th.

The release will be uncut and will be available both on Blu-ray and DVD, with each one costing $54.97 and $44.82 respectively. Both releases will feature the same bonus features of clean opening and ending themes, original trailers, and an exclusive interview with the Zetman manga creator Masakazu Katsura which was filmed during New York Comic Con.

For those who don’t know, Zetman tells the story of two boys who have lived very different lives, one wealthy and one poor, but both of these men are searching for the real meaning of justice and what it means to be a hero.

Attack On Titan Levi Figma First Images

Attack-On-Titan-Levi-01

Ah yes, another great piece of merchandise from Attack On Titan. We only recently saw Mikasa and Eren as Figma figurines and now we’ve been shown another Anime favourite; Levi. Good Smile Company only just released images of the Levi Figma Figurine in development and, although there’s no actual release date for the item, it is looking like it’s near the end of it’s development stage. You can assume by looking through the Figma track record that this item is going to be top quality and a great addition to what is going to be a colossal range of Attack On Titan merchandise.

Alongside shots of the Figma-made item comes a Nendoroid figurine of Levi, once again, it seems like an addition to the Eren and Mikasa Nendoroid figurines that we only recently saw. I have to say; they all look fantastic and they all seem to get well with one another so if you’re a big enough Attack On Titan fan I doubt you’ll be missing out on picking up one or all of these figurines. Stay tuned within the coming weeks and months because I’m sure we’ll be catching wind of a release date for these figures soon enough.

More Attack On Titan: The Last Wings Of Mankind Screenshots Released

- The Last Wings Of Humanity -
– The Last Wings Of Mankind –

The release of the Attack On Titan: The Last Wings Of Mankind 3DS game is slowly creeping up on us with it set for an Official Japanese release on the 5th of December, we really havn’t seen a great deal but as the weeks and months go by we are seeing more and more screenshots that are telling us more about this game each time. As of right now I’d say the excitement level for the title isn’t too high but I can see it rising the closer it gets to release.

The screenshots released shows a Titan takedown in action as Eren locks-on to a Titans neck and goes in for the kill, the targeting system actually looks pretty impressive and I can’t wait to see some actual video footage. Alongside a screenshot of character customization is a screenshot that actually shows Eren in his Titan form which means we may get a chance to let loose as a Titan within the game. The game still looks like it needs a bit of work and fleshing out but that’s just my opinion, let us know what you think about Attack On Titan: The Last Wings of Mankind in our comments section below.

Crunchyroll Announces It Will Be Streaming One Piece Anime

One-Piece-01

One Piece is an Anime that is extremely close to a lot of people’s hearts, it’s been running for so many years and it’s episode count has gotten so high, I’d say a lot of people find it hard to keep up to date, especially us here in Australia considering there is no real legal and easy way to go about watching brand new episodes. Crunchyroll has decided to change all that by announcing, on Thursday, that they will begin streaming the Shounen Jump Anime on the 2nd of November for all free and Premium users to see.

They will be starting with the newest episode to be released which will be Episode 619 and it will air at 10:00pm on Saturdays.The company has also stated that, within the coming months, they will start adding the older episodes so that those who aren’t caught up can do their best at blasting through this long series. It will be Streamed for users in the United States, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand, Latin America and down here in Australia. Daisuki is also streaming the series yet it is not available for us “down under” so now with Crunchyroll we can get our pirate fill without feeling like a pirate ourselves, if you know what I’m saying.

South Park: The Stick of Truth delayed to 2014

south-park-stick-of-truth-delay

Back when Ubisoft acquired South Park: The Stick of Truth at the start of the year, the game started to be delayed and now the company has announced that the game has been delayed to March 4, 2014, placing it around a year after the initial release date for the title.

You see, apparently when Ubisoft acquired the game they “sadly realized we had to turn this thing upside down if we hoped to deliver the experience everybody wanted” according to Ubisoft North America’s president Luarent Detoc. Matt Stone and Trey Parker went further to day that “Getting the game up to the crappy standards of the show has been a real challenge and we’re excited to say it’s taken way longer than we thought it would.”

To go along with the delay announcement they released a seven minute gameplay video which can be checked out below.

GAMEVIL Releases Sorceress Class For Dark Avenger

Dark-Avenger-Sorceress-01

Halloween is done and gone here in Australia but over in America it is just beginning and it seems that GAMEVIL is going to kick off the spooky celebrations with a huge update for their, already huge and popular, game Dark Avenger. The update will contain a great deal of updated content like graphics, gameplay and a very special, brand new Class to play as: The Sorceress! Adding to the hack-and-slash title’s cast of the Templar, Archer and Berserker, the Sorceress uses a great deal of ranged attacks which is great for crowd control while in a battle and to subdue large numbers of enemies at once.

Armed with elemental and arcane magic, this Sorceress is a force beyond your wildest dreams and she’s here to stay. Along with her addition to the game comes a whole new way of playing it so if you are a seasoned Dark Avenger player I suggest you swap to this Femme Fatale for a bit to see how she works and how the game has changed. The game is free to download on any iOS and Android device, click the respective operating system to be taken to the download page. Head down to our Featured Video Section below to see a video from GAMEVIL explaining what the character does, what she is like and, somewhat, how to use her!
