Media Blasters licenses Dokuro-chan(And other news)

Note-This post was supposed to be posted yesterday, but events caused me not to post it…

At least some companies do not play around with their licenses.

John Sirabella, the President of Media Blasters announced that he licenced:

Dokuro-chan. I approve of this, and there were no games involved in this license.

However, he also mentioned that something is gonna happen in a few weeks, and it isn’t Geneon returning. It is something that isn’t good, as far as I can see.

Also, in the past week, two things have happened:

Tokyopop split in two, canning 39 people. They have also started to slow down their releases to about 400 releases this year. Which means some series, like the Chibi Vampire(Karin sounds a heck of a lot better) novels, have been cancelled.

My thoughts: Tokyopop is in a lot of trouble. Why else would they do this? But, as long as I get my moonphase, I’ll live.

The other news is a another round of bad news: The attack on a crowd on Akihabara. The suspect(Come-on, we all know he did it), a 25 year old, reportedly said that he was tired of his life, and that was one of the reasons why he did it. The media is playing the card that his Otaku nature that he had was a catalyst in this heinous crime.

My thoughts: This guy is nuts. He obviously planned this out for a while, and deserves whatever punishment the courts give the guy.

Also- I am continuing onward onto the last 5 episodes on Shana II. After two or three episodes of Boringness, there seems to be a ramping up of Chaos building over the appearance of Sabrac, coming from the previews for 20. Hopefully, that battle won’t disappoint.
