InuYasha's Movie premier date on Cartoon Network DELAYED!Posted on Saturday, July 10, 2004 @ 4:59
-It was previously announced by CN that InuYasha: The Love that Transcends Time will premier on CN's Adult Swim on October 23, 2004; But the premier date has been moved back to Spring 2005. Here what the Offcial word from the Adult Swim Site - "Due to a miscommunication in regards to the amount of time that is required to pass between the DVD release of InuYasha: The Love that Transcends Time and its airing, the previously announced date of October 23 for Adult Swim's airing of the feature will be pushed back. Instead, it will premiere in the Spring of 2005. We understand how disappointing this is for InuYasha fans, but these were circumstances beyond our control. Premieres of InuYasha will continue to air on Saturdays at 12 a.m., with weekday reruns at 12:30 a.m."

GW Bush Campain Ads Includes Anime Character? ^_^ Wolfwood Vs. BushPosted on Thursday, July 8, 2004 @ 11:45
-Please Click Here to view the new Offical GW Bush "Yakuza" TV Commercial featuring the anime character from Trigun; Nicholas D. Wolfwood. or Go to georgewbush.com Click on "Yakuza" under TV ads. ("Yakuza" means mob or gang in Japanese).
Our current president G. W. Bush’s latest campaign TV ad is using an anime character to illustrate that John Kerry talked on the war with Japan but has not about the war on terrorism in the Middle East in his book. The anime character in the Bush's commercial is Wolfwood from Trigun. Wolfwood is portrayed in the same pose as this Trigun image (to the right) holding a gun. The original can be seen here. The only thing changed was the expression on Wolfwood's face. Personally, I can’t believe that GW Bush is using anime character in his campaign ads.
Also, you click on the picture to the right for a bigger image. Probably the reason Bush chose to use Wolfwood from Trigun is because Wolfwood is a priest - Holy Man and yet he still kills people. This commercial is real funny and amusing please download it from the official Bush site. Also after the commercial was released and aired on TV, John Kerry made a statement about the commercial, which can be viewed here.
There are probably a lot of question you might ask like: Is Bush paying Geneon for using Wolfwood's image on the ad? Does the Ad violate copyright laws? What does creator Nightow think about it? Frankly I don’t know all the answers.

Posted on Wednesday, July 7, 2004 @ 1:34
-According to the July issue of Teen People Magazine, it says that ‘Tom Welling’ is hoping to land the role of Goku in the upcoming live-action Dragonball Z movie. Tom Welling is a dude who plays superman on a show called Smallville. This news has also been rumored on Smallville fan sites for a few months as well. If anyone can double-check this info and confirm this news it will be much appreciated. Thanks!

-Subject: 'Made in Japan' trademark to fight anime piracy.
Posted on Tuesday, July 6, 2004 @ 10:24

An online Japanese Newspaper site MDN reports that 38 Japanese entertainment companies are set to introduce a new "Made in Japan" trademark in a attempt to allow Law Officials to crack down on pirated anime products. Companies are supposed to stick the seal to the packages of their anime products to make it easy to distinguish genuine products from pirated ones. We don't exactly know how the trademark seal will look, yet. But an online anime fan seams to think the "Made in Japan" trademark might look something like this picture to the right. Moreover, this organization will take measures to prevent pirates from counterfeiting the trademark.
However, a massive number of pirated contents are circulating in the markets of China, Taiwan, South Korea, Thailand and other Asian countries. About 2.1 trillion yen ($19 billion US dollars) worth of pirated contents are sold in China each year, while about 140 billion yen ($1 billion dollars) worth of counterfeited contents are sold in both Hong Kong and Taiwanese markets. Some of it might be anime products, but the pirated stuff includes japanese movies, manga, video games, books, cds, anime shows etc.. The bootleg market in Asian countries are ridiculous and bootleggers are making a lot of money. The "Made in Japan" trademark seal can be good news for some and really bad news for others. We report you decide!

QUICK EDIT: The picture to the right is probably a better depiction of what the logo might look like.

The New Official Gungrave Site!!Posted on Tuesday, July 6, 2004 @ 1:01
-As many of you might know I'm a big Nightow fan [creator of Trigun, Gungrave]. This post is just to remind all the other Nightow fans out there that; The first Gungrave DVD called "Beyond the Grave" will be released tomorrow, July 6th, 2004. Collecter's DVD Box with Vol. 1 is also avaiable. If your looking for some real good Mafia Gun-Action I highly recommend this series. I'm sure Geneon Animation will do a good job with the dub because they handled the Trigun dub really well. This DVD is probably one of the most awaited DVDs because Gungrave already has a strong fan base due to the Gungrave PS2 game. Also, all you music lovers, the Gungrave “righthead” CD OST hits the streets the same day July 6. Anyways, they have an offical badass flash site over at www.GungraveDVD.com. Go there from more info.
::> A Follow-up on OG's last post: Yes!, Majesco Games has signed a contract with Funimation which gives them the right to release only Dragonball GT games for GBA. Note, DBGT is a diffrent title name than DBZ. If you are concerned about the reliability of this source please read the Official press release here.

-Atari may control DBZ, but Majesco's got their own Dragon Ball GT action going on.
While Atari makes the most out of their license for the popular anime series Dragonball Z, Majesco is making a play of its own.
The company signed a deal with the folks at FUNimation Productions to release a number of games on the Game Boy Advance in the US based on the Dragon Ball GT license. No specific titles were yet announced, but the first game in the deal is expected later this year.
"We are thrilled to partner with FUNimation to bring the extremely successful Dragon Ball GT(R) property to our Game Boy Advance Video lineup," said Jesse Sutton, Chief Executive Officer, Majesco. "Having achieved retail sell-in of more than two million units for our initial offerings, we're confident that such a highly recognizable property as Dragon Ball GT will continue that momentum into the back half of the year, and beyond."
