Sentai license Gintama: The Movie

-

February 12, 2012

Sentai Filmworks have confirmed that they have acquired the license to the cinematic debut of the Gintama anime series (which Sentai also hold the rights to). The film itself is titled rather simply, Gintama: The Movie.

The film itself is a retelling of the Benizakura story arc from the anime series, featuring an alternate ending to the arc (which is considered the true ending in the Gintama canon, if you want to acknowledge Gintama having some kind of canon).

Sentai plan to release the film digitally and in a physical release on DVD and Blu-Ray later in the year. It should be assumed that the movie will not be dubbed considering Sentai’s release of the anime was subtitles only.

Check out the Xenomorphic box art for Aliens: Colonial Marines

February 12, 2012

There are many different kinds of box art out there. There are those who go a simple conservative route and those that try to cram so much detail into the image that it is awash with colors. Other times all it takes is a very iconic symbol to create a stellar box art.

Such is the case with Aliens: Colonial Marines’ box art which can be seen to the right. As you can see the game’s box art features a Xenomorph’s face with some Colonial Marines walking down a hallway. Better watch out though… the Aliens like to hide in the vents. Currently there still is no release date set for Colonial Marines but this box art reveal bodes well for those hoping for a 2012 release.

Double Fine receives full game funding in less than a day; breaks records

Double Fine revealed that they would start funding their next game, which will be an old school adventure title through Kickstarter donations. Now the initial plan was that the company would need to reach $400,000 within the next thirty-four days. However it took less than twenty-four hours for the company to pass that total. In fact the total is now over $1 million at the time of writing.

While this is thanks to thousands of smaller donations, a few notable souls have even donated as much as $5,000 or even one with $10,000 to the cause. To make things even better, Kickstarter has announced that Double Fine has broken the record for raising such a large amount of money in such a short time. It seems fans of the studio really want to see what their next game will be like… Perhaps this is a sign of things to come…

One Piece Pirates sued by Toei Animation

-

February 12, 2012

Toei Animation have filed a lawsuit against approximately 869 pirates of One Piece. No, not the pirates in the anime, real life cyber pirates who illegally downloaded episode 515 of the popular anime series, “I Will Get Much Stronger! Zoro’s Pledge To His Captain!”

Toei claims that these pirates acted in concert across various states of America through BitTorrent, to illegally download the episode that is actually available for them to freely watch at Funimation’s website.

Funimation had also previously filed a similar lawsuit against 1,337 pirates over the illegal downloading of an episode of the series back in January 2011. This resulted in Funimation dismissing their case, due to the incredible difficulty in proving that the pirates worked in concert.

It is unknown whether Toei’s Ninja Lawyers will be able to take down the 869 Pirates, but Capsule Computer’s Ben Webb and Travis Bruno will be competing in a Steel Cage match to finally answer the age old question of ‘Ninjas or Pirates?’ Place your bets.
