| Warner releases another clip for Halo Legends | Thu, 4 Feb 2010 |
|
1:47-second clip from "The Babysitter" episode of "Halo Legends." "The Babysitter" was animated by Studio 4oC under the creative supervision of director Toshiyuki Kanno and producer Eiko Tanaka. "Halo Legends," an all-new, CG and traditional anime PG-13 experience that presents enthralling new stories from one of the world's most popular video game franchises, will be distributed February 16, 2010 by Warner Home Video as a Special Edition 2-disc version on DVD and Blu-Ray, as well as single disc DVD, On Demand and Digital Download. "The Babysitter" focuses on the intense rivalry between the ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Troopers) and the Spartans. When given an assignment to assassinate a high-ranking Covenant Prophet, a four-man team of ODSTs must accept a Spartan Sniper to their strike force. Each discipline learns something important about the other as the mission progresses into hostile territory - and old rivalries must be reexamined if the mission is to succeed. The episode emphasizes the differences in ability and style between the two soldier types, and features a few familiar faces - Dutch from Halo 3: ODST and his teammates Private O'Brien, Master Sergeant Cortez and Corporal Checkman. Produced by 343 Industries, a part of Microsoft Game Studios, "Halo Legends" is a seven-story anthology - told across eight spectacular episodes - that explores the origin and historical events of the Halo universe and its intriguing characters. Halo Legends has been created in the same breakthrough format as The Animatrix and Batman Gotham Knight with each individual episode imagined by a cutting-edge, renowned Japanese anime director/animator.

| Yen Press new licenses | Wed, 3 Feb 2010 |
|
Yen Press announced today a few new licenses.
First up is one that should come as no surprise to existing fans of Yen's list but that we are certain will make a lot of readers happy: THE MELANCHOLY OF SUZUMIYA-HARUHI-CHAN! The first volume of the highly anticipated yon koma featuring all new adventures from Haruhi and the rest of the S.O.S. Brigade will debut in October 2010 to the cheers of Haruhi fans everywhere! Yen is absolutely thrilled to be adding this series to its already prodigious lineup of yon koma (4 panel comics). And speaking of yon koma, we're going to keep bringing you the hottest properties in November 2010 with the launch of kakifly's K-ON! The four girls who make up their high school music club have set Japan on fire, and their fame is only going to grow when they take the stage for the first time in the states this fall! For those who'd rather turn off the music for a while and curl up with a great book, then we've got just the book for you when the first installment of Mizuki Nomura's BUNGAKU SHOUJO novel series reaches a bookstore near you in July 2010. BOOK GIRL AND THE SUICIDAL MIME is the story of Konoha Inoue, a gifted writer who's lost his passion, who's inducted into his school's literature club by it's only other member, the beautiful Touko Amano - a book goblin who literally devours the printed word! Trust us, you'll want to eat this one up! And the segues just keep coming! We're going from eating books to just...eating! Yoshinaga Fumi fans are in for a rare delicacy in November 2010 when Yen publishes NOT LOVE BUT DELICIOUS FOODS, a manga chronicling Y-Naga's love of food and eateries in Japan. There are some hardcore Yoshinaga Fumi fans on staff at Yen Press, and they are salivating in anticipation of this book's release! From Yen Press |
