Dragon Ball Movie Confirmed and The Return of A Certain Moon Princess

It has been confirmed that there will be a Dragon Ball Film. When I say confirmed take that very loosely as I don't even know how much of that statement I believe. A countdown was created on the Shonen Jump Website for a certain surprise on july 14th (http://shonenjump.com/j/countdown/).



 I don't read much japanese but sources say in english it translates to a film. Here is a close up to my friends in the land of the rising sun.

I am just excited because Akira Toriyama will be working on this project as well. Good to know they have the creator on board, not much like the garbage that was GT. Toriyama states that the film will have a lot of the same original feel with a bit of "Modern Flavor"...whatever that means. I also have to say that Sailor Moon is getting another series. Not sure what other information is out there on this except that the group that made the original japanese theme song is working on another for the new show. Yaaaaah...I think.




UPDATE (Like 5 minutes after post): Did some more digging and I found an actual promotional page from the shonen jump with the announcement of the time the film will drop.

 

Guess you can get excited for another KAME HA MEHA!

The Last Airbender sequel.... NO AANG!?

Yes it is true, a trailer was released giving us a look at the avatar. The newest avatar will be a waterbender named Korra. She seems to be a bit older then Aang, and the gender swap is certainly going to be taking some getting used too. If this is anything like the past series, I have no doubt it will be amazing in its own right! Get excited, or not...There is a new avatar in town and she aims to blow our minds. Or would it be water I minds...eh, whatever just watch the trailer!

Why Anime Sometimes Sucks!!!

I made a post last month about the differences between Anime and Manga. At that time I felt a need to let people know that there are noticeable differences within the two art forms. Now I want to let you all know that when a Manga becomes translated to the Anime domain, well they have a tendency of screwing things up. So lets go through some of these Manga to Anime screw-ups from my first hand experience.

FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST

Fullmetal Alchemist is the story of two brothers, Edward and Alphonse Elric that are far from ordinary due to the fact that they are extremely gifted in alchemy. Their skills in alchemy also leads to the major plot point of the story, after their mother's passing they decide to bring her back with the use of alchemy. Their attempt at resurrection causes a terrible tragedy, at the wake of the process Edward loses his arm and his leg while Alphonse loses his entire body. They both have to make due with artificial replacements of what they lost, and they venture to find a way to get it back by use of the same thing that took it from them, ALCHEMY. The timeline is set around the 1940s in an alternate world where rather then science and technology being the practice of growth, alchemy has grown to be the main usage. As far as story line it the Anime was amazing, up until the point where the story got weird with the inclusion of a deviated plot.

Anime: The main protagonist ended up being "The Mother", a woman from a very distance past that uses alchemy in a way to keep herself youthful and alive. Her henchmen are the Homunculus, beings created from failed attempts by Alchemist to bring back their loved ones. The story starts becoming weird as characters from the manga aren't introduced and characters are just created from thin air. Not to mention the ending of the anime had a very sad ending that the film that followed didn't do a great job of fixing.

Manga: The manga was the original content that the Anime pulled from and it was simply perfect. The villains introduced were sometimes just misunderstood and their wasn't some weird illegitimate 3rd Elric brother (Watch the anime to get what I am talking about). The main protagonist was "The Father" (aren't they smooth with the sex change) and his henchmen were also the Homunculus. In the original variation the Homunculus were created by The Father and not some failed experiment by random Alchemist.  The characters that the anime left out were just amazing, and it leaves you wondering what idiot said we could do without them? I am not going to ruin major plot points for you but this is definitely a story better read, or so one would think.

Anime (Part Deux): I guess Funimation and Aniplex realized how upset fans were with the changes that were made, that they decided to give the Anime version another shot. This time the Anime follows the Manga in exact detail with no shifts and added bells and whistles. Watch or read it is up to you, but the name of the Re-Do is FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST BROTHERHOOD. I like to call it the best thing ever made for short...eh not really short is it, whatever.

I will make another post about 2 other anime later in the day.....no hints, just stay posted!

One Piece Dynasty!

So a teaser site was launched by Namco Bandai about their upcoming partnership with a rival publisher Tecmo Koei. Before you go searching for the website I will be the first to let you know that it is down, but not before they released the reason for the website. The name of the project is One Piece: Kaizoku Musou. ShiNiggles what does that mean?!

I am glad you asked that question! So basically One Piece: Kaizoku Musou will be the combination of Namco Bandai's One Piece franchise and Tecmo Koei's Sengoku Musou games. Now when I first read this I was sitting there talking to myself asking WTF is Sengoku Musou, well we know it on this side of the world as Dynasty Warriors. I am a fan of both franchises, although the Dynasty Warrior games have been pretty much the same the past couple of years. It is extremely repetitive!!! That doesn't mean me and my brother wouldn't sit there for hours on end playing it over and over again, building up our generals. No information just yet on when the game will be released, but I am actually excited for the North America release.

Hahaha how awesome would it be to have Luffy square off against Lu Bu!!!! EPIC!!!!!

ShiNiggles Where have you beeeeen?!

Oh no it has almost been a week since I have posted anything!!!! I am truly sorry, I took the long weekend we just had and went on a serious vacation. So I apologize for being MIA and I promise to begin posting regularly! Here is what I need from you, I need you to start posting comments to make me feel like the same person isn't reading my blog 20 times day!!! Either you can do that or I can go Super Saiyajin....whats a Super Saiyajin you may ask?! Well I will let Goku go ahead and explain it to you!

One Piece Movie 11 (3D FILM)

By 3D I mean the characters are all in 3D. This isn't one of my usual habits so don't get used to it. I am killing the bandwith limits on my site with this, but I wanted to give you all a taste of what I am currently watching.

One Piece Mugiwara Chase 3D English Sub

Epic Stop Motion Fights!!

So I was doing what I usually do, and that is search the net for you people to see (Did he just say you people?!...YUP). In my search I ended up on the youtube page of count656, and fell in love with what I saw. The last time I enjoyed stop motion, was over 10 years ago, and it was the Nightmare Before Christmas. The two videos that I am going to spot light are: Cloud vs Sephiroth and Ryu vs Ken. Enjoy, and check the youtube page for more goodies.

Blue Exorcist: Ao No Exorcist (New Anime)

 

Hey there fellow ShiNigglers! I got a brand new anime to give you all a little bit of insight on. Ao no Exorcist (or Blue Exorcist to western society) is the story of a boy named Rin's dream to be an Exorcist and take down Satan himself. He is joined by his twin brother and a group of other Exorcist in training on his impossible journey. By journey I mean juggling high school and their secret Exorcist training at Cross Academy. If Cross Academy sounds familiar its because it has been used by other anime like Vampire Knights. Did I forget to say the best part about it? Rin is actually a half-demon and the son of Satan, I think this is what makes the story a lot more interesting. The story element is really sincere sometimes hitting the note of seriousness that drew me to Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood , and the action scenes are nothing to laugh at either. The anime is currently on episode 16 so if you need something new to be addicted to, join me on the Dark Side! Enjoy!

Manga vs. Anime

Manga is the Japanese word for "comics" overly used by western society as a way of mostly referring to kick ass comics. Maybe I was only talking about myself in that last comment, but to be frank the people at Shonen Jump have kept me up to date with my favorite story lines. The library of manga issues is enormous, endless stock piles of pages telling millions of different stories. The pages can be vivid but often times it can be without any real life. Black and white pages are good for reading print not depicting some of the most amazing fight sequences. I am not a huge fan of Manga, but that doesn't mean I won't spend hours on end reading them when I just gotta know what is happening during my favorite anime series.

Anime is just short for Japanese Animation. There are stockpiles of millions of different manga stories that are adapted into new anime every day. To the right is one of my personal favorites(Naruto).Anime can range from comedy to action, and it can be suitable for a large array of ages. I am an addict to anime of depth in story as well as entertaining fight sequences. I am not a huge fan of manga, but I have caught myself time and time again peaking because of an anime cliff hanger. Watching a fight is so much better then reading. Do you honestly think so many people would have liked Avatar if it were just a book? No offense James Cameron, I also barely liked that movie. But I digress!! Which do you prefer ShiNigglers?

Anime!!!

Ani-wha....Ani-who...I said ANIME! One of the greatest things to come from Japan. Here is a list of what came out and whats coming out (click to enhance the image), get excited and GET OFF MY LAWN!
