Afc Comics Explosion-Next Two Issues Of Astonishing X-Men Will Feature Same Sex Marriage Between Two Main Characters!!!!

May 22, 2012

AstonishingXMen_50_Preview2

Hello and greetings fellow otaku,

Now most of you in the blogosphere already know about this story and that almost the media outlets have talked about this in one way or another, but for those of you who haven’t heard about this yet, something very interesting is about to occur in the Marvel Universe that will be the talk of the comics world for the next few weeks. So hang on to your seats because you are going to be amazed about what is going to happen.

Edit: Click on the following picture above to see a clip from today’s episode of The View talking about Astonishing X-Men!!!!

As it was mentioned on the popular ABC talk show The View earlier today, the next two issues of Astonishing X-men (#50 and #51) will be featuring the controversial subject of same-sex marriage in which Northstar will propose to his longtime boyfriend Kyle to be engaged.

For me, I find that this has to be one of the most interesting events that has taken place in comic books in recent years. In the past, comic books have dealt with hot button issues such as drug addiction and other controversial topics covered in the main stream media. But with the recent news of President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden supporting gay marriage, is this the right time to showcase this to the American public or will it cause more debate as to whether or not same-sex marriage should be accepted in our culture?

You’ll just have to stay with AFC to find out. I will have more on this story in the days to come as well as all the latest news and reviews related to the world of otaku culture. So until next time, remember that there is a ton of great anime and manga out there. All you have to do is find it. Ltrs.

Edit:

I apologize for the lack of updates, I will be updating the site with new information in the days and weeks to come. Thank you for your patience and virtue during this brief hiatus!!!!!

Breaking News In Gaming-Persona 4 Golden To Come To Ps Vita In 2012!!!!!

Persona 4 The Golden-Official Trailer!!!!

Hello and greetings fellow otaku,

As most of you know by now, in less than a weeks time the PS Vita will be available for purchase here in the U.S. Now your probably asking yourselves, I know that the Vita is being released next week but the games that will be available at launch are not my thing. Well have I got news for you, Atlus has recently announced that it will be releasing a new version of Persona 4 entitled Persona 4 The Golden for the PS Vita in the second quarter of 2012 in Japan.

The game will be similar to the original PS2 version that Atlus released back in 2008 with new features and story elements to enhance game play.  While this this new version of the game was originally to be released on the PSP, Atlus decided to go ahead and up the ante by porting the game to the new system, thus using the Vita’s full functionality. Overall I am excited about this game but it will be a while before it comes here since Atlus has not yet set a release date for a U.S. version of the game. So be patient folks, there are other games out there like Blazblue Continuum Shift Extended, Gravity Rush and Marvel vs. Capcom 3 to keep you entertained until this hits overseas.

As always, stay with AFC and AFC Gaming Zone for the latest updates on this developing story. So until next time, remember that there is a ton of great anime and manga out there. All you have to do is find it, ltrs.

Hello and greetings fellow otaku,

Now for all you Genshiken fans out there, I advise you to sit down before reading this because you will be in for the surprise of your life.

Kodansha Comics USA has recently announced that they will be publishing the Genshiken Second Season manga for U.S. release on September 4, 2012!!!!! The manga will continue where the original manga left off as with the second season of the anime series.

The manga was originally introduced in Japan back in 2010 and that Kodansha has plans to release the first three volumes as an omnibus collection in Japan in May.

Overall I am excited to see this finally coming to the states. I have read the entire first season manga and watched both seasons of the anime. Hopefully this manga will live up to fans expectations. Thus I definitely need to track down the entire first set of the manga to refresh my memory as well as re-watch the anime this summer to get me pumped for the release. But that’s just me LOL!!!!

But as always, stay with AFC for more information on this breaking news story. So until next time, remember that there is a ton of great anime and manga out there. All you have to do is find it. Ltrs.

AFC Weird Video Of The Week!!!!-Meat Ice Cream Party (EpicMealTime)!!!!

January 25, 2012

Ice cream

Meat Ice Cream Party-EpicMealTime!!!!

WARNING: What you are about to see is completely dangerous. Please try not to re-attempt the actions shown in this video. Anime Full Circle cannot be held responsible for those of you who re-attempt these ideas and the consequences you may face to your health. Thank you.

Hello and greetings fellow otaku,

Now I don’t know about you but when I think of ice cream, I think about DQ, hot fudge sundaes, dilly bars and the like. But what about making ice cream out of meat products. Sounds quite appetizing doesn’t it??? Well if you’re the guys at EpicMealTime, you know that taking food to the next level is in their forte. Thus it gives me the distinct pleasure of inducting EpicMealTime’s Meat Ice Cream Party as the first video to be featured as the AFC Weird Video Of The Week!!!!!

Now your probably thinking, why would they do something like this? Well let me tell ya, they have done a lot crazier things than this. The clip shows the guys making different variations of popular Ice Cream deserts such as a meat banana split with sausages as the bananas, an ice cream sundae with ground beef and mashed potatoes, and the piece de resistance: meat ice cream cones Russian roulette style. 

Now would I be so bold enough to eat some of these concoction’s? NO FRIGING WAY!!!!! With all that meat they used, it pretty much a one way trip to the emergency room for heart disease. But if you feel brave enough to handle all of that meat, by all means go for it. But don’t come crying back to me if you have high cholesterol or suffer a heart attack, I will not be paying your medical bills Winking smile

Enjoy the video everyone and I will talk to you again real soon. Ltrs.

Breaking News In Anime-Fushigi Yugi To Be Re-Released By Media Blasters In April 2012!!!!

January 12, 2012

fushigi_yuugi_01

Hello and greetings fellow Otaku,

Well here is the first piece of good anime news for the new year!!!!! Recently Media Blasters, the company behind such popular anime series such as Genshiken, Rurouni Kenshin, Bakuman and many others has announced that they are going to re-releasing  the first season of the popular animated series Fushigi Yugi: The Mysterious Play this April.

While no other information has been released as to when the box set will be published, it is understood that the new box set will be more affordable than the original box sets that were originally released by Pioneer\Geneon back in the early 2000’s for around $200!!!!!

Personally, I have been waiting for another company to re-release this series for a while now. I wanted to buy the original box sets but they were too expensive. Hopefully, more fans of this series will be able to afford to pick this up. So thank you Media Blasters, you totally kick some major A**!!!!!

And in an un-related story, I was just able to obtain the first two volumes of Batgirl (The New 52) from DC Comics from a great comic book website known as Lonestar Comics!!!!! Lonestar Comics is a great place to find new, rare and hard to find comics including hard to find issues of “The New 52”. I already have volumes three and four in my possession and with volume 5 being released this month, I plan on giving you guys my first impressions of the series within the next few weeks.

Hello and greetings fellow otaku,

Well let me be the first to say welcome to the year 2012!!!!! Hopefully you all had a great 2011, but while I had some interesting moments this past year, their were some not so great moments in my life as well. However, I feel that this year is going to be the year of great success not only for me but for Anime Full Circle as well. But before I go into what I have in store for you guys this year, let me take just a moment to look back at AFC in 2011.

One thing to mention is that just this past month, we had manage to reach over 75,000 visitors on AFC. For me this is another great accomplishment that shows many of you are still loyal to us and that you find us an interesting source for the latest information about the world of Japanese Animation and Otaku Culture. But while I wasn’t able to post much this past year, one of my new year’s resolutions is going to be to post more often and come up with new and innovative ideas for the site.

But were not stopping at just new posts, I am also going to bring you tons of new anime, manga and video game reviews along with a look in the world of popular graphic novels including works from Marvel and DC Comics. This will bring a new meaning to AFC in which we will go full circle and beyond. So get ready guys for the release of Anime Full Circle 2.0, the rebirth of AFC!!!!!

So until next time, remember that there is a ton of great anime and manga out there. All you have to do is find it. Ltrs.

January 1, 2012

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 35,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 13 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
