Ever since mid-November last year, Viz Media has included the Nisekoi manga in their Weekly Shonen Jump service and since then a number of digital versions of the manga have been released. While plenty of fans were satisfied with the digital versions of the manga, many were hoping for a physical release of some kind.
Well those fans, including myself, will be happy to hear that Viz Media is going to be releasing Nisekoi in physical format and the first volume will be shipped on January 7, 2014 for $9.99. This is still some time away but this is great news, as Viz went on to say that there will be new volumes out every two months.

This new agreement with Xbox expands the reach of Network Ten’s popular online catch-up viewing service, which is available through www.ten.com.au and has recorded more than 20 million video views so far this year alone.
It was announced at Anime Expo 2013 that Viz Media have acquired the licenses for both the Deadman Wonderland and Gangsta manga titles. Viz will be taking over from Tokyopop who had the publishing rights to Deadman Wonderland originally. Deadman Wonderland Volume 1 will be released on the 11th of February 2014 with subsequent volumes being released monthly after that. Gangsta is also launching February of next year yet no specific date has been released as of yet, it will have a quarterly release.
Deadman Wonderland is a semi-horror/action manga, written by Jinsei Kataoka, about a young boy named Ganta who, after he is blamed for the mass murder of his class, is sentenced to death which is a bit different in this world because instead of being killed he is sent to a privately owned prison called, you guessed it, “Deadman Wonderland”. At the prison convicts are forced into brutal battles for the amusement of those not in the prison. Ganta soon realises he can use his blood to fight and that he isn’t the only one in the prison with those kinds of powers, he realises that these powers could be, somehow, related to the death of his classmates and intends to dig until the secrets of Deadman Wonderland are uncovered.
Gangsta is an action manga, written by an artist that goes by the name of Kosuke, about two men who are Grade-A bounty hunters and all round trouble makers, they’re men for hire and don’t really shy away from any type of job. Worick Arcangelo is a suave, lady killer (not in the bad way) who has a sharp tongue and an even sharper fashion sense. Nicolas Brown is a katana-weilding, killer who is, more or less, the brawn of the duo. He’s a deaf man who tends to keep as much to himself as possible but when it comes to taking down the target he’s merciless and is, in fact, infamous for being extremely deadly. Together they are “Benriya”.
We’re really excited to see these titles on our shelves and you should be too! Keep your eyes on the site for any and all news to be released and don’t forget to hit up our comments section below and let your voice be heard.

I’m always excited to hear about original anime shows being announced in the current and upcoming seasons, it’s interesting to see what can be created without having any previous material to work with or compare to. One upcoming original anime to look out for is Galilei Donna, which will be airing in October on Fuji TVs Noitamina programming schedule.
The anime is based around three sisters; Hazuki, Hozuki and Kazuki Ferrari, who are descendants of Galileo Galilei and are on the international wanted list (at the time of writing no further info has been given concerning the synopsis).
The anime recently launched a twitter page and an official website, a Galilei Donna wallpaper was also given as a special gift to everyone who downloaded the Noitamina app for Android and IOS. Click here to check out the official website.
The series will be produced by A-1 Pictures and directed by Yasumi Umetsu, who was a key animator for various animes including Akira, Lupin the 3rd: Dead or Alive and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. The character designs for the original anime were done by Shingo Adachi (character designer for Sword Art Online).

Namco Bandai Games have released a brand new trailer for their upcoming Saint Seiya fighting game, Saint Seiya Brave Soldiers. The new trailer showcases the crash hot action on show in Saint Seiya Brave Soldiers, it is enough to make you scream ‘Saint Seiya!’ at the top of your lungs while smashing out a killer riff on the ole’ electric guitar, or just watching it quietly I suppose.
Saint Seiya Brave Soldiers is said to be a straight up fighting game unlike the previous Saint Seiya game, Saint Seiya Sanctuary Battle, a Dynasty Warriors styled brawler. Saint Seiya Brave Soldiers will be exclusive to the PlayStation 3 and is confirmed for a release in PAL regions. Unfortunately a North American release has been ruled out.
Check out the trailer for Saint Seiya Brave Soldiers below and let your cosmos burn with the power of a thousand exploding suns, or just you know, watch it I suppose.
You may remember hearing the name DanganRonpa lately and if you have, you likely know that there is an anime adaptation of the game currently airing in Japan. However this isn’t about the anime, it is about the game itself and the fact that the game is actually heading to North America.
At Anime Expo 2013 NIS America announced that they will be bringing the first DanganRonpa title over under the name DanganRonpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and they are planning on releasing it sometime in early 2014. Players take the role of Makoto Naegi who has been accepted into Hope’s Peak Academy. However when his classmates and himself are caught by an evil mastermind ready to kill everyone there, players must try and unmask the villain, but also avoiding possibly being killed by his other classmates.
In the title players must try and investigate various murders that are being committed by students within the school as they try to escape with their own lives, build trust with other members of your class and more. Expect more details about the game within the next few weeks.
Back when Demon Gaze was first announced for release in Japan, I thought that it would be a fitting title for release in the West. However as various events passed by and the game was released in Japan, my hopes were diminishing. Thankfully NIS America has announced during Anime Expo 2013 that they are planning on releasing Demon Gaze in the West sometime in early 2014.
The title is a dungeon crawling RPG that follows a character named Oz (name change is possible when game starts) who has lost all memories of his past. The world he lives in is full of various dungeons and monsters, but he must still try and make his way through the world in an effort to learn more about himself. The title features various dungeon progress systems that allow dungeons to evolve the more you accomplish within them, HD illustrations, customizable party members, touchscreen functionality and of course, fan service that hopefully won’t be censored out.
