Anime Expo is going on this weekend and there’s some cool anime coming our way. Ones I’m most happy about: Midori no Hibi, Bakuretsu Tenshi, and Popotan. I’m most happy about Midori no Hibi, because it’s one of my recent favorites. Also, it appears that TOKYOPOP will be releasing CLAMP no Kiseki: The Ultimate Collection. CLAMP’s 15th anniversary, 12 issue collection. With each issue coming with pieces for a CLAMP chess set (with some interesting choices for the pieces).

CLAMP + Marvel = ?
AnimeonDVD.com is reporting that CLAMP will be working on some sort of project with Marvel Comics due out in 2005. The character it involves was not named but was said to be someone you wouldn’t think of as typical CLAMP material. Hmm. I’m trying to think of who I might want to see a CLAMP version of. Almost anyone I think of leaves me with a bit of a disturbed feeling. Just think of Spidey, X-Men, or maybe Ghost Rider as done by CLAMP.

ROD TV – Coolest Limited Edition Ever
The wonderful folks at TRSI just delivered my copy of the LE of ROD TV. The case for the series is like an actual book with plastic ‘pages’ for the DVDs. It’s definitely the coolest of the DVD cases I have. I took a picture with my crappy little phone cam since I can’t seem to find my digital camera at the moment. Click on the image to the left for a bigger picture.

The President’s Analyst
The other day I was at the video store and happened to see a copy of one of my favorite ’60s movies, The President’s Analyst. James Coburn plays Dr. Sidney Schaefer, the analyst for the President of the United States. Of course this becomes a dangerous job since every other government on the planet wants to find out what the President has been talking about. IMHO, It’s one of the best spy/conspiracy spoofs ever. I remember the first time I saw it, it was on TV as the afternoon movie when I was a teenager. I loved it then and I’ve loved it almost every other time I’ve seen it. I’m so happy to find this out on DVD.
One side note, the case for this DVD is one of the more strange ones I’ve ever seen (see image). It has latches on the side to help keep the DVD case closed. When i first tried to open it I was baffled for the first few moments. Has anyone seen any other releases with this type of case?

Airport Express and iTunes 4.6 and What I Think Is Missing
Apple’s new Airport Express sounds great. It’s one of the things I’ve really been looking for. A nice way to have a wireless repeater that (hopefully) doesn’t kill the network speed. Everything else is just really good icing. Mini base station, great. Printer server, great. Streaming audio receiver: great. AirTunes, which is part of iTunes 4.6, here’s where I think they missed slightly. You can only stream to an Airport Express box. I would have loved to have seen the ability to stream to any other box running iTunes. Yes, there is music sharing, which is great, but I can think of times when I might want to be just streaming to a laptop. Or both a laptop and an airport express. I live in a fairly good sized house and maybe people in multiple places want to be able to tune in.I think Apple also needs to come out with some kind of stereo/AV component for listening to music and viewing photos (and maybe even movies) on your home theatre system. Something that works like TiVo’s Home Media Option (which is now included in the TiVo subscription instead of as an add-on), but more tuned to how Apple does things. It would let you listen to AAC encoded files, and AAC files you bought from iTMS. But it would act more like the iTunes music sharing does. To me, this could be the killer box for Apple. Roku comes close with their products, but it still isn’t exactly what I’m looking for. The one thing I know I don’t really want is a full computer attached to my home theatre system. It just seems like overkill to me when I have a server already that has all that stuff stored on it.

I Am A Happy Anime Fan
Funimation has announced that there will be an uncut Shaman King release. I guess they are working with 4Kids on this. It will be a dub and sub release. Yay! I was so worried that we’d only get a saturday morning cartoon-ized version of this. Thank you Funimation!

If I Ever Even Consider Buying Something Like This, Kill Me
Gainax has announced a life sized, poseable Hikari doll from Konomini. I’m not sure what frightens me more. The idea that things like this exist, or that there are people out there who are probably anxious to own them. The dolls are made by Paper Moon, who offer a number of other dolls (including Sakura and Ryoko). Words cannot begin to describe how wrong I find this. What’s next? Real Anime Doll?

Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced
Phew. After quite a long time I finally finished Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced. I’d zoomed through a bunch of it a while back, but hadn’t had as much time to play recently. Overall it was quite fun. At times it was a little challenging, but never so hard that I felt frustrated by it. Definitely one of the better games to get for the Gameboy Advance.
Next up: Advance Wars 2
