Movie: Dragonball (2009)

“The story begins with a young humanoid boy named Goku, who discovers that he was sent to Earth to blend in and destroy our population but instead elects to protect it from an oncoming alien onslaught bent on dominating the universe and controlling the mystical objects. He seeks out upon his adoptive grandfather Grandpa Gohan’s dying request to find the great Master Roshi and gather all seven Dragon Balls. Of which he has one, in order to prevent the evil Lord Piccolo from succeeding in his desire to use the Dragon Balls to take over the world. And Goku’s quest is to obtain the mystical Dragonballs before Piccolo does.

Trivia: According to James Marsters, his role of Piccolo is a complex, Shakespearean one: “Thousands of years ago he used to be a force of good, but he was imprisoned for 2000 years, making him very angry, and then he finds a way to escape… The cool thing is anybody who’s seen Dragon Ball knows that Lord Piccolo transforms into THE Piccolo, and that is a whole other ball of wax; heroic wouldn’t be the wrong term, but it’s a long journey.”

GUIDE TO SPOTTING BOOTLEGGED DVD’S

Bootlegs, they’re all over the place. They can be found on Ebay, Online Stores, Craigs List, and even on a city sidewalk. But how do you know if you’ve bought a bootlegged DVD? Most people don’t, most people do not even know what to look for. If you paid for a DVD you want it to be real, right? Read this turorial and know it - with it you’ll be prepared to spot and deal with a case of bootlegging. Luckily, for you otaku’s who like DVD’s this applies to any other DVD as well, not just anime!

That’s right Otaku’s, the best holiday of the year is coming upon us fast. The only holiday where a bearded nerd can dress up like a sailor scount (see above), It’s also a fairly useful day for any other fan who would like to dress up as their favorite anime or manga character. Halloween-the realm of vampires, mummies, and now: Japanese anime.

Cosplay, we’ve all seen it -whether on the web or in person. Some of us have probably even tried it. It’s commonly known as the practice of dressing up as a anime or manga (and sometimes a game) character for no particular reason. No reason huh? I’ll explain, Cosplay is done when you feel like it - it doesn’t need a day or event; although a day like Halloween or an event like an Expo does save the majority of us who have a good sense of embarassment. It’s a just one of those “things” (trends).

To understand this trend, we’re going to need a quick historical overview. Cosplay started back in the 1980’s with the introduction of Anime Expo’s to the United States. It was started after the already trendy, and equally nerdy, trend of Masquerading. A Masquerade was common costumed event at a science-fiction or comic con.? Cosplay is simply the same, but more stylized and focused to Japanese Anime.

So. Your impressed..huh, and you want to know more about this “cosplay”. If you are going to to go out cosplay I’d suggest getting a good costume. To do this you’ll want to find some quality shops who sell cosplay costumes, or if your fairly good with a needle pull out a sewing machine and start up the old imagination drive. You may want to look at these stores: The Cosplay Store, QQ Cosplay, or Moon Costumes.

Unless your going to a Convention, I’d recommend sticking to Halloween. However on the off chance you are reading this in preparation for your first convention gig, you may want to reference these guides: Beginners Guide to Cosplay, The Cosplay How-To, or A Cosplayer’s Guide to Cosplay.

In any case, if any reader here, Cosplay’s - please post a picture of yourself in the comment section. This a fairly popular trend and I’d love to see examples by our readers. ‘Till Next time Otakus! ?Joel, AA Chief Editor

Well Otaku’s….this is the strangest contest I think I’ve ever heard of. Funimation has officially announced that it will be holding a contest for the best “shin-chan ass dance”. That’s right, if you are 18 years or older, and feel like sending a video of yourself doing a “ass dance” to funimation you may win big. As long as there’s no actual showing of the ass (nudity) you have only lady luck left send your hopes to. 3 Fans will be selected to win the first DVD season of shin-can as well as four volumes of Yoshito Usui’s original manga, and other merchandise. The three winners will be selected by Funimation Judges and will be given the opportunity to spread their “happiness” to the world. Fans will view and vote for their favorite contestant who will win the grand prize-a Shin-Chan touch IPOD.? This ipod is preloaded with Shin-Chan anime for your portable viewing pleasure! Better than anything….it’ll be legal free anime in the eyes of Funimation (lol).

Unfortunately, all videos must have been submitted by midnight on October 19th 2008 - which some may note is just 3 hours shy of this post’s publishing. However some of you may still apply if you get your asses moving (pun intended). However, we’ll be watching for those “ass dance” videos to display. I’m sure they’ll be just as funny to watch as they’ll be embarrassing for the video’s stars.

And of course, the Japanese are on this idea too, except they decided to go with a much more profitable plan. Instead of a Chin-chan IPOD to win, Kadokawa Group’s Chara-Ani anime goods store is offering a Fate/Stay Night IPOD you can buy.

The 80-gigabyte touch IPOD will be laser-etched on the back with the Fate/stay night logo and come with an original telephone card with new artwork, an exclusive iPod folder case, and several kinds of protective cover sheets with the anime characters on them. The IPOD itself will also contain 11 songs, the credit-less opening and ending animation sequences from the anime, galleries of illustrations and screenshots from famous scenes, and promotional videos (including one never before seen video).

Shoot, they always get it good lol. Personally, this author would have gone for a D.Grayman or Naruto Shippuuden IPOD.

Anime. It’s been a topic in my life for over 7 years now, a hobby that I came to enjoy every now and then. Every once in a while a reflect, and I wonder what my life would be like without my hobby. Probably very different. After all, anime must have influenced me, I’m writing to you on my anime blog! I was in another one of my reflecting moods recently, and I realized that it is a great topic to report on! Every otaku or fan has some sort of good memory of when they discovered “anime”. Lets make a deal, I’ll tell you mine, if you tell me yours.

As you might have saw from the Toonami article, I’ve been watching anime from the beginning of Cartoon Network’s success with anime. Being American, Toonami was the “thing”. I remember all the classics - Sailor Moon, Mobile Suit gundam Wing, Dragon Ball Z, etc. I watched them with great interest. My favorite however, the one that “hooked me”, was the great Yu Yu Hakusho. I remember it used to come on around midnight on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim. That show was the best, the story line, the plot, it was great. After that I started to watch a vareity of shows as they premiered such as Inuyasha, Gundam Seed, Wolf’s Rain, Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, Thundercats, Ronin Warriors, and many many more! Sometime around Gundam Seed’s air time in the US I started downlaoding subtitled anime, since then I’ve watched over 60 different series. From there on the rest is history.

Now, lets hear your story

The media has caught wind that with the release of Street Fighter IV for various game consoles, an anime movie will also be released. Capcom and Studio 4C (the anime designers of the new movie) have announced that the new anime movie will be an hour long and will fill in gaps left open by previous game titles. Fans wanted to know what would happen if Ryu and his crew crossed knuckles again, and this is the answer Capcom has given.

Previously the anime story lines of the game were told in anime clips. But at the 2008 Tokyo Game Show, producer Yoshinori Ono revealed? to the world that the short anime clips had been such a success that a full-length version of the anime is now in production.

The movie is set to be released alongside the Street Fighter IV game, which will be released on PS3 and XBOX 360 consoles in Janualry 2009.

This movie proceeds a Live Action Street Fighter movie set to debut in theaters February 27, 2009. A further post will be made on this in the near future.

Here’s a site update, late at night, and ready to be heard! Day by day the site is getting more popular, and the E-zine gains more and more support. We are now up to 7 staff writers in total pitching in for November’s Atlantic Anime E-zine (this includes myself). I can hardly say how excited I’ve been over the last week and a half over the blog and e-zine’s development. It seems that Atlantic Anime’s version of an ezine, the way we put our info out is new and unheard of in the anime community-and were getting support from all sides of the web! I’m expecting November to be a very great issue! In addition to the staff writers, we have a few site’s sponsoring us in different ways. New to our affiliate list (blog roll) is Moetron (a very popular anime blog) and Fox Anime Shop (a new upcoming anime DVD store where you may buy merchandies for great discounts). Fox Anime Shop will be later giving me a special discount code for Atlantic Anime, keep a watch out for it! Anime Breaker and Anime-Stop have both agreed to sponsor the E-zine by submitting the ezine into their site download sections-therefor getting more attention to the blog and ezine.

Edit: THAT Anime Blog has also been added to our affiliates, so has Drastic My Anime Blog.

I thank the anime community for accomodating and supporting this project so far, and I look forward to serving the anime community for time to come. Feel free to contact me with whatever, no question is stupid or unreasonable.
