That’s right, for those of you who were excited about the possibility of Tokyopop making a return from their unfortunate closure earlier this year and to continue releasing the Hetalia manga like they had mentioned several times on their facebook page, I have some bad news for you.

Well it seems Tokyopop were just grasping at straws this entire time and actually weren’t even close at getting the license to continue the release.

But fear not, instead you will be treated to a new project from Tokyopop that is sure to make up for it! Oh wait, no it won’t. They have announced that they will be releasing a newsletter regarding Tokyopop as a way to give back to fans. Yes, you read correctly. They are doing a newsletter.

Here is Tokyopop’s full statement:

“Loyal Fans, we’re very thrilled by your excitement but need to clarify: unfortunately we are not re-launching the manga – those properties have reverted to their owners and are amazingly difficult to get back. We’re launching an all new editorial TOKYOPOP newsletter about all things otaku and Asian pop-culture, powered by our friends at GeekChicDaily. We think you’ll really enjoy the news we’ll be bringing and apologize for the initial misunderstanding.”

This is a real disappointment for Tokyopop fans whose hopes were dashed by a company on their last breath attempting to stay alive, even if it meant ultimately letting down their fans. What are you thoughts on this unfortunate news? Let us know in the shoutbox or comments section.

If you were to visit your local video game retailer you may find a nice little surprise sitting on the store’s shelves. Well not really a surprise as today was Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny’s release date but nonetheless it likely will be sitting there. Natsume’s brought both the Wii and the PlayStation 3 version of the title to store shelves, with the PS3 version costing $49.99 and the Wii being $10 cheaper.

Players will be able to take on the role of Aden or Sonja, considering their souls now both exist inside of the same body. To make matters worse they have been brought to a new island full of new people and strange creatures, but perhaps if they explore and discover more about the island they can find the truth behind their curse and predicament. Of course along the way they can farm, build relationships and all that Rune Factory is known for.

Last night we brought you a report that Brock Lesnar would in fact be a featured Superstar in WWE ’12. Right on cue, THQ have now confirmed this with a new trailer featuring the “Vanilla Gorilla”.

This isn’t the same Brock we seen in “Here Comes The Pain” either, as his current UFC look (with the chest tattoo) is the one that will be featured within the game.

Check out the new clip below and get ready to do some F-5s, as WWE 12 launches November 22nd.

U.S. Fullmetal Alchemist fans, rejoice! Funimation have teamed up with Eleven Arts in order to undertake a huge nationwide theater run for the latest Fullmetal Alchemist movie, Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos.

The film is set to run in theaters this Winter, however specific dates and locations are still forthcoming. This is one of the quickest fast-tracking of an anime film from Japan to America in recent history, with the film only hitting Japanese theaters roughly 6 months before it hits the U.S.

Funimation have also confirmed that they will be releasing the title on DVD and Blu-Ray in Spring 2012. Which isn’t too long a wait when considering it would have already been in theaters for your viewing pleasure.
