As usual, a jumble of things that haven't made it into their own news posts yet:   Anime:VIZ has established a new site for all of their streaming anime, which makes use of Hulu-- so it'll be handy for those of you who don't want any FUNi all up in your stuff. (Kidding-- it'll probably be handy for those wanting to navigate through, say, Naruto or InuYasha). PRESS RELEASE: VIZ Media Launches VIZ AnimeCrunchyroll is giving away a free iPad to everyone who becomes their fan on Facebook AND is a Premium member-- but the two-week free trial counts, so no purchase necessary. While you decide whether to try it or not, I'm going to go over here and watch the latest episode of Durarara (again). <3 PRESS RELEASE: Crunchyroll Announces Free Apple iPad Giveaway Right Stuf is apparently going to carry the Big Bang Theory t-shirt that says "It's not cartoons...it's ANIME!" If I see any of you Vice Squad members wearing it at a con, I warn you: I will either hug you or shoot you. I'm not sure which yet.  I can't decide if this shirt makes me want to kill people. Manga:Digital Manga Publishing has announced two new license rescues: one is Target in the Finder, Ayano Yamane's most popular work, and the other is Kizuna, also a prominent BL manga. Both originally came from Central Park Media, and I wonder how much of a bidding war there was between DMP and the other remaining BL pubs?   Live-Action: Online manhwa publisher NETCOMICS is reportedly turning one of their licensed properties into a movie. Um. By themselves? Oh, and some nifty behind-the-scenes vids for the upcoming manhwa film Priest are out, too.Conventions:Bad news for Sakura-Con goers: anime director Yasuhiro Imagawa (of Tetsujin 28-go and Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z Hen) has cancelled his visit to the Seattle event this April. But you still have tons of other guests (NOIZI ITO!) and the Trigun Badlands Rumble WORLD PREMIERE, so screw you guys for complaining. (Kidding. Mostly.)  91.8 The Fan's scheme is to put you to sleep and then draw on your face! Misc:Aaaaand here's the schedule for 91.8 The Fan, if you'd like-- it's Pokemon-themed this week. They've also apparently managed to score exclusive press rights to Anime Vegas (is no one else going? Or did they actually negotiate that? If the latter-- wacky). PRESS RELEASE: 91.8 The Fan Brings You Pokemon Week Good morning, everyone! Looks like it'll be a sunny one in the Bay Area today, thank god. How's things in your neck of the woods?

Poor Durarara! You used to get your own posts, but the past few week’s you’ve had to settle for potpourri. Rather, that’s what I initially wrote, since I intended for this to be a segment in a larger scattershot post. Then I wrote too much. Oopsie. The problem is that Durarara! is taking a little too long [...]

A very strange, disjointed episode this time around – with another BIG REVEAL at the end. I’m hoping all these little threads get pulled together at some point, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see. Durarara!! still does not feel up to par for me. I can’t put my finger on why exactly. Suffice [...]

“And his password was Baccano!” So wow! This episode was special. We are given a huuuuuge plot twist (though I was expecting it the first time it hinted). But before I go on I have to rant about something first, and it’s something that I wasn’t wanting to happen…I looked on AnimeNewsNetwork and from the look [...]
