Anime News and Quikie Review

Adult Swim MOAR JAPANIMA: Adult Swim could very well be your one stop spot for anime soon, having Bleach, premiering new episodes of FMA: Brotherhood, Cowboy Bebop, Ghost In The Shell, Inyuyasha and ANOTHER new anime called Kekkaishi. Premiering TONIGHT at 12:30 and re-airing at 4:30 it is worth a look see. The series revolves around Yoshimori Sumimura and Tokine Yukimura and are apparently some sort of magical samurais, protectors of their land. The series is aimed at teenage boys (five bucks says there is an awkward romance) and the manga is among the bestselling in Japan receiving some awards and frequently appearing on the bestseller list. Now if Adult Swim could just start airing Death Note I'd never leave Adult Swim ever again.

Hooray for Illegal: It is confirmed that an unauthorized manga scanning site is among the top 1000 visited everyday. It has around 4.2 MILLION unique visitors and 1.1 BILLION page views. Now this is good news/bad news for anime fans. In one case it means that there is hope for those of us who have low budgets and are unable to afford a weekly or even a monthly trip to the Manga/Graphic Novel section of Barnes & Noble (or whatever your local book store is). But on the other hand that means with something like this in the spotlight there could be an increase in the crackdown of copyright infringement for owners of the mangas (like Viz Media). For those that have money please support the official release or Chuck Norris will get you...I promise on that.

Naruto Volume 47 *Minority Spoilers*: It is confirmed that Narutos Dad is a huge dick, Hinata finally stops being a stalka bitch, (just kiding, but the reason I dont support Hinata X Naruto is because I want Hinata for myself...and so the war begins between me and MasakoX) and Naruto is Satan... Best volume ever!

Heil Crunchyroll!: Crunchyroll is streaming yet another new anime: Lilpri which is basically Yu-Gi-Oh only imagine it being good, and having The Dark Magician Girl as every single character.
