Mistakes of Youth: The Blog (Powered by EXCELLENCE!)

Remember how back when Bakemonogatari was announced, there was news that the show was too long for its TV broadcast, and the remaining three episodes of the fifteen episode series had to be streamed online?

Well, I just got some SUPER SECRET INFO from my industry contact in Japan, and he told me I could spill the beans on the whole deal. See, SHAFT won’t be streaming anything. They’re going to be doing something better–each of the web episodes will be put up on their website free for download, with no DRM. Expect the file names to look something like this: [ＳＨＡＦＴ]化物語第十三話「つばさキャット其ノ参」.mkv

In addition to this, each of the episodes will be subbed into English–BY SHINBO HIMSELF. What this means is, Shinbo will simply be typing in all the English he knows into each of the episodes. By the last episode, the sub script will be composed entirely of misspelled quotes from American movies. I’ve seen these scripts, and they’re pretty awesome.

Anyway, look forward to it!

Nagi celebrates by taking off her clothes

So I guess we’ll learn more about Haruhi 2 in July Newtype according to June Newtype.

Sauce: Zepy

Subbed only, first DVD hits in July. Dub release in 09.

Man, I wish I could’ve been there for this announcement. Not like I could’ve possibly been at the NYCC, but it would’ve been neat. I like how they’re doing a sub-only release just to get it out there as soon as possible. I wonder if there’ll be special editions, or if it’ll just be a no-frills priced down sub-only affair. Who knows!!

Anyway, I’m a bit too tired to get excited about this, so instead have this picture of Nia

MORE NEWS AT THINGS DEVELOP, LIKE A PREPUBESCENT GIRL BECOMING A WOMAN.  

So uh, Yuuko Goto, Minori Chihara and Aya Hirano will be at Anime Expo.

I hope you fuckers in California enjoy yourselves. In other news, us poppets on the East Coast have significantly less important guests for Otakon…

Orignal Post

Sorry for the delays. I’ll try to make a comic by next week, but I’m swamped with projects… Oh, you want to know about Mistakes of Youth being published, don’t you? Ok. I take it you all read Patrick’s blog (and if you don’t you suck.) Well, if you do read his blog, you’d know that he is now the editor in cheif and an upcoming magazine called Otaku USA. What does this have to do with me? Well, I’ll be making a comic for each issue. They didn’t really put any creative constraints on me, so I think it’ll be fine so long as each comic is funny. So, with that in mind, I’ve just decided to make it a print version of Mistakes of Youth. Now, the comics in Otaku USA will not be the comics on the site for a variety of reasons. One reason is, the size. When I make comics for the site I do the comic construction work in 72 dpi (character art is done in 300 dpi though.) For the magazine, I have to do everything in 300 dpi. Also, given this is a general audiences magazine, the jokes can’t be as obscure as they are here. Sure, I’ll still be rude and angry, but I’ll just talk about more general anime related things. It’s kind of like what Ian did for Inside Mac Gaming a few years back. I’m in the dark as to what the rest of the magazine will be like, so I’ll be as surprised as you all are when it first hits. Please check it out once it hits in June!

The latest video put up on the ASOS Brigade website revealed all the US release details for Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu. For those who do not feel like watching the video, here is the rundown.

Hideaki Anno recently released a statement regarding his feelings on remaking Evangelion (or shall I say, Wevangeriwon) in the form of a movie poster that was distributed across Japan.

Ok, this in itself is badass, having a movie poster that is really just a bunch of words. It takes something, I don’t know what, but something to do something wacky like that. Not only that, but the what is written on the poster is nothing short of awe inspiring.

First link on that page. You need to use IE, because Japan hates Firefox. It looks pretty wonderful, if you ask me. I cannot wait.

Thanks to Harakiri for the headsup.
