Imagine-nation, the anime/manga/game spotlight show, recently had an episode where they featured the the Spring Anime release Attack on Titan. They discussed a great deal of things like; the context of the series, it in relation to the Japanese industry of Anime and Manga, a look at the series from behind the scenes and more.
The two videos below focus on the behind the scene segments of the show and really give a good insight into Attack on Titan. It also shows the amount of work and dedication that goes into making a series of this caliber.
The only thing you must keep in mind before watching either (or both) of these two videos is that some of the stuff that will be spoken of or shown will most likely be spoilers for the Anime so view at your own risk, guys and girls.
Enjoy the videos and remember to drop us a line in the comments section below.
Last week Bandai released a video showing off the newest item in it’s JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure line. It’s called the Ora Ora Border T and with a little help from a smart phone app you could be the owner of your very own Star Platinum Stand!
Pretty sweet designs huh?
The shirt and app combination uses AR Technology (much like what Nintendo does with the 3DS) to give off the illusion of activating a Stand like the characters in the series. When you shoot video of the shirt through Bandai’s Nextpets app (iOS and Android) the virtual star platinum appears and proceeds to yell his signature “Ora Ora Ora” shout. This can all be seen in the video.
Last month Bandai’s Beams Online shop began selling the shirt in black-on-white and purple-on-black for 5,040 yen or about US$50. A brand new colour, green-on-black, will go on sale this month.

This doesn’t necessarily mean that we can expect a new film in these series any time soon, as Feige stated;
There comes a time in contracts where, if a studio is done making the movies, [the characters] come home. That doesn’t mean we’re going to make another movie. But it means they’re back in the fold, which is where we want them to be.
All it means is that the former film rights had expired and so, legally, Marvel have reattained them. But there’s always hope, and you’d have to imagine with the massive success of The Avengers that these great characters could be integrated into Phase 4, or maybe even Phase 3 of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe.

In the upcoming neo-Paris, cyberpunk title Remember Me, Capcom are throwing in a little homage to their premiere franchise – Street Fighter.
As seen in the image above (found on the game’s Steam product page), if you pre-order Remember Me from Steam, you will receive what is called the “Combo Lab Pack”, featuring three exclusive ‘pressen moves’: the Flash Kick, the Spinning Bird Kick and the Dragon Punch. These moves are trademarks of Guile, Chun-Li and Ken, respectively, from Street Fighter. These attacks can be incorporated into your custom combo chains. Although a nice nod, it shouldn’t come as a surprise as Yoshinori Ono – Street Fighter IVproducer – has been consulting with the developer Dontnod Entertainment in creating a fluid combat system.
Remember Me is coming out June 7th here in Australia.
Today Gogogogo.com revealed the next Boss Backstory for the new, free-to-play, browser-based, 2D, third person shooter; Tata Blitz and that boss is none other than the infamous Dracula! You can read the official teaser description below.
Tata Blitzis a great game known for its comical, cartoon style. The game features varies battle maps, unique and crazy characters, awesome weapons and fast-paced PVE mission and PVP challenges. Players will be transported to an array of foreign maps that will feature scenery from all over the globe including Egyptian Pyramids, Dracula’s Castle, Dark gas Swamps and a whole lot more!
The Official Tata Blitz Boss Backstory:
“Bob, do you really believe in Dracula?” a timid voice asked from the darkness.
“Shut up Rocky. You’ve asked me that a hunnerd times, don’ ask any more!” came the sharp retort, the South accent thick on his tongue. The silence thickened ominously, broken only by the two’s footfalls on the stone walkway.
Bob and Rock had been best friends for what felt like forever. Both were huge fans of everything Vampire, and had always fantasized about meeting a live…or dead one. An online forum they both followed had mentioned an abandoned castle where a vampire was rumored to live, and they’d decided to adventure out to see if it was true. The two had spent hours walking around the deserted castle, and were on the verge of leaving when they stumped upon a secret entrance to an underground passage. Though night was falling, the possibility of a secret underground lair was too much for the duo to resist!
Bob lead the way with Rock, more timid, following behind. The darkness was both thrilling and a little intimidating. Rock secretly wished he could be back at home in his cozy chair in front of the TV and computer, but he couldn’t leave his best friend to go exploring alone. Suddenly, Rock felt some fluid drop onto his face, and he screamed, startling Bob. Both lifted their leads slowly and discovered they could no longer see the roof clearly. With a thunderous noise, hundreds of bat wings began to beat in time as faint green lights – the reflection of the creatures’ eyes – suddenly light up the gloomy cavern.
The two began to run without caution, not realizing they were running deeper into the underground catacombs. They screeched to a halt as they entered a cavernous chamber and stared in horror, for sitting in the middle of the room, on a raised platform, sat a coffin. As its lid slowly rose up, Rock’s last thought was for his comfortable chair as he was attacked by the swarm of ravenous vampire bats that has followed the two inside…When did this happen and where? It’s up to you to find out!

Way of the Dogg, an arcade rhythm-fighter title brought to us by Snoop D-O-Double-Gizzle himself is releasing today on the Xbox Live Arcade, with release on the PSN Store and mobile platforms soon to follow.
The bombastic game draws inspiration from Snoop’s love of 70s Kung-Fu movies (don’t we all love ’em!), andfollows the story of America Jones – the toughest street fighter in town, whose two great passions are the fight and his woman, Sierra. But, in a classic filmic twist, Sierra is taken from him, forcing AJ to step up and take his fighting skills to a whole new level under the watchful eye of Master Snoop. He must learn the “Way of the Dogg”.
Way of The Dogg features intense, rhythm-action combat matched to a selection of Snoop Dogg’s greatest hits including: “Who am I (What’s my Name)”,“Gz and Hustlas”, “From Tha Chuuch To Da Palace” and “ Pump Pump.”Way of the Dogg’sstory mode pits players against the toughest fighters around in brutal one-on-one fights. In addition, the game features highly stylized temple fight-challenges taught by Snoop and multiplayer to boot [to the face!].
Snoop spoke about his inspirations in making the title with Echo Peak;
I’ve always dug old school Kung Fu movies. Growing up in the hood, me and the homies used to hit the Palace Theater in Long Beach to watch the double feature Kung-Fu flicks and come out of the theater play fighting each other, making those old school sound effects. I wanted Way of the Dogg to pay tribute to that feeling and bring that same excitement, fused with my music, to the game.
You can check out the Way of the Dogg Gameplay Trailer embedded below, and visit the official Way of the Dogg Facebook page for all the latest updates.
