We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.
For all the fans of the Kiki’s Delivery Service anime here is the live action movie trailer. This is one that if it gets a release in North America would be great to have in your DVD/Blu-Ray collections. Thanks to “maidigitv” on YouTube for the teaser trailer:

New Gods Release Debut LP Beloved OUT TODAY 23 October 2013 |
This is one of those groups that for me you would have to be in the mood for. This isn’t one you would rock out to by any means. This is one that you would put in on a lazy day or hazy day when the weather is dreary. The group has a good sound, but in some songs the lead singer gets lost in the music and becomes muddy so you can’t quite understand him. The interface above that they have with the release is really cool for us older listener’s (giving us a little feel of nostalgia). I’m not sure if today’s crowd, unless they are into music, will appreciate the cassette reference. The gallery is also a nice touch to give listeners a different experience.

Here is BBC’s commercial to get everyone one prepared for the upcoming 50th Anniversary episode of Doctor Who. Pretty cool. Thanks to BBC’s channel on YouTube for providing this video:
After a convoluted series of events spanning at least a decade, the school board in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana last week removed Harper Lee’s classic novel To Kill a Mockingbird from classrooms throughout the district. After some parents of high school students recently complained that the book contained “offensive language” and “themes…[that] may not be suitable for children,” district officials conveniently remembered that it had already been banned there in 2000. Only newer teachers, who were unaware of the ban, had been using it in class, but their students didn’t get a chance to finish reading the book before it was pulled.
This is quite interesting and confusing at the same time. To read the rest of this article by Maren Williams click on the provided link: http://cbldf.org/2013/10/to-kill-a-mockingbird-re-banned-in-louisiana-school-district/
In the YouTube video below from Shu Uemura’s page Hatsune Miku sings the theme for the anime short. The anime short is a tie-in for famed make-up artist Shu Uemura and contemporary artist Takashi Murakami’s “Six Hearts Princess” cosmetic line. It is entitled “6HP Pink & Black”. The short was produced by Marakami’s Ponkotan Studio with character design by mebae. Have fun with the short and Hatune Miku’s song:
