Anime News :: The Great American Anime Remake Disaster Begins...

With the semi-recent (and wonderful) news that not even god himself has enough money to produce the live-action Akira remake and M. Night's Avatar not looking half bad, I figure I'd post the new teasers and trailers that have been floating around.

Maybe... just maybe... this won't be so bad afterall.
Although we still have James Cameron's post-Avatar Battle Angel Alita project (uh, his special effects Avatar, not M.

Still, at least the opening round of this mess doesn't look all that bad.

Anime News :: Hulu Features Voltron and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

For those of you feeling nostalgic, or maybe just lacking your requisite amount of gigantic snap-together robots, Hulu Days of Summer has two particularly random and completely delightful featured goodies this week care of Microsoft's Bing. Voltron Season 2 and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie grace the main page this week, continuing the site's excellent history of bringing you a great collection of things you might want to watch but would never want to pay money for (I never did upgrade to a DVD copy of the power rangers movie afterall, and it’s been a huge inconvenience.)

For a while the site has kept a small but respectable collection of anime and anime-related goodness including xxxHolic, Death Note, Bleach and (as baffling a choice as it may be) The Slayers, which has been a godsend to external hard-drives everywhere.
