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.

Hello and greetings fellow otaku,

Well for those of you who are major Ace Attorney fans like myself, then you are going to like what you are about to here with these two stories.

First, it has been recently announced that Capcom is going to be releasing a new version of the popular Ace Attorney games in the near future. The announcement was made during the 10th Anniversary celebration of the game in Tokyo Japan. Along with this announcement, Capcom also mentioned that they will be releasing a ported version of the first three Ace Attorney games for iOS and Android platforms. While the first game was already released on the iOS platform, this will be the first time that the  first three Ace Attorney games will be released on both major mobile platforms. Currently there is no official word as to when these games will be released in the states.

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

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.

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**!!!!!

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.

Afc Showcase-JunJunJun: Japanese Hair and Makeup Artist!!!!

December 11, 2011

junko17

Hello and greetings fellow otaku,

So just yesterday I received an e-mail from a reader in Japan named Jun. She says that she is a huge anime fan and that she also enjoys reading anime blogs. I was surprised that she enjoys my site and that she is a huge fan of anime in general. In her personal life, she is a professional hair and make-up artist.

Currently she is in the process of putting together a “Guerilla” make-up show with one hundred participants in New York City. She plans to have the participants show up somewhere in Manhattan and travel all across the city to showcase her work in which she will provide updates on her Facebook page. She plans on creating a photograph collection once the project is complete.

But in order for her to make this dream a reality, she needs $5,000 for expenses. At the time of this writing, she has already received $680 (14% of what she need to complete the project). She is still $4,520 away from meeting her goal. Therefore, if you are interested in helping her making this dream a reality, I encourage you to watch the video above and if you can do so, donate whatever amount you can to support this project.

She also has some great rewards available for donating at certain levels such as a thank you e-mail from Japan, a live phone call with Jun from either Japan or New York, a souvenir from Japan or New York, a illustration of yourself or anything you want and a photograph collection of the project itself just to name a few.

For more information about this project and the rewards you can get for your support, click on the link below. So until next time, remember that there is a ton of great anime, manga and people out there. All you have to do is find them. Ltrs.

So for those of you who have been waiting for this day or if you are considering buying an import version of this, I just have one thing to say. Your prayers have been answered.

Hopefully the game will be the same as the other releases around the world but if you want a taste of what it will look like, then watch the exclusive U.S. teaser trailer for the game above this post. I have to admit that this is a really good looking game and I wouldn’t be surprised that it would be the best game of 2012. But we will just have to wait and see about that.

Epic Fail Award-TV Presenter Breaks Plasma TV With Wiimote Accessory!!!!!

November 5, 2011

wii-accident

Hello and greetings fellow otaku,

Well with Christmas only a few weeks away, what better way to celebrate the holidays with someone throwing a Wii accessory at the television set. Thus this brings us a interesting introduction for this edition of the Epic Fail Award.

So let me set the scene, so one of HSN’s electronics experts decided to show off the capabilities of the Wii by playing a simple game of tennis on Wii Sports. However things do not go according to plan when he serves the imaginary ball and by coincidence, the Wii tennis racket flies off the Wii remote and leaves a big dent on the television screen.

Now I don’t know about you guys, but common sense would tell you to make sure that when you use accessories on the Wii mote to make sure that they are secured properly to make sure that they do not come off. However this dude didn’t get the memo and look at how much hot water he is in for destroying the TV. Poor guy, hope he manages to find a new job soon.

So that it for this exciting edition of the Epic Fail Award, 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.
