   January musings...MANGA!!!
Konnichiwa minna-san!!!

Since I have absolutely nothing better to do with my time I have decided to make a regular newsletter of interesting stuff and my personal musings related to anime and manga. If you don't want to read my random bouts of insanity that may appear from time to time then just ignore this and you will no longer be a part of my weirdness.

The thing that I am probably most excited about would have to be that MADMAN is releasing manga!!! The good part is that they'll be around $14.95 each. However the prices may change if there is a good response.

The first titles they are releasing are Evangelion vol.1 and .Hack//DUSK sometime around March.

SPOILER: This may or may not be true but apparently in the Eva manga Shinji is not as wimpy (he actually acts like a normal teenager, not a depressed insecure paranoid pod person) and Rei actually has a personality!

Those of you who know who Ken Akamatsu is then will know his acclaimed series 'Love Hina'. Well, he's back and is releasing a new one. The new manga is called 'Negima! Magister Negi Magi'. The cover of the first volume is real pretty and the plot sounds interesting. There are HP connotations but Negi looks cooler so far. (I'll let you know more when I've actually read it. ^___^'')

If you want to take a look see then check it out here.

Now onto other stuff, I found this site recently. It's an online newsletter for anime. It's actually quite nice even though there are only 3 issues. It would be heaps greater if the people would be a little more regular with. Go to http://www.atanime.com/

Now as everyone...well those I have been communicating to regularly should know...I have been harping on about the date for Supanova for quite a while. It's on May 1 & 2 for those who don't know and is at Wharf 8 again. I'm thinking of cosplaying this time. Yes, yes, it would look totally insane but I like making costumes. (Die Kaye! you ebbil person who gets me to make costumes and doesn't wear them!) Anyway, back to the topic before I digress any more. I sorta wanna go as Wizard or Ranga from Angelic Layer but am open to suggestions. However if the costume is too complex I'll definitely make it for Animania. (and no Jess, if I come in costume you cannot take pictures) I just realised that I'm sending this to 2 Jessicas. Well that last comment was directed at the one that knows me

With the trend of live-action flicks being made from comics, most of you would know about the plans to release live version movies for Sailor Moon, Akira, DBZ and Evangelion. Here's the supposed cast for the first movie.

The thing with live action movies is that it might be so awful. I mean I'd rather stick to the anime. I had about the same reaction when I first heard of the SM Live Action with Sarah Michelle Gellar proposed to play Usagi.

I looked at the DBZ casting and thought SCORE. Hugh Jackman and Orlando Bloom are like 2 of my fave actors. Then I looked at who they were to be cast as. *shudders* Don't know how they will pull it off.

*tries to picture it but fails miserably*

All I can say is if the 1st one is a flop then think how bad the other 3 will be!

PS. Looks like I wrote heaps...maybe I should make a mailing list...it would certainly make my life easier. That way if you guys know something that I don't then you could post something of relevance. Would you prefer Yahoo or MSN?
