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.
This is the only wide release movie happening this weekend. You can see this two ways. See it Friday before Free Comic Book Day and then on Saturday go to your local comic book store or do Free Comic Book Day on Saturday at your local comic book store and then that afternoon or evening go see Amazing Spider-Man 2. Needless to say this weekend is for comic book fans. Thanks to “Sony Pictures Entertainment’s” channel on YouTube for the following trailer:
This is one of my favorite Manga series and I hope it gets brought over to the North American market. Kindaichi Case Files is about a teenage boy that is board with school because he has an IQ of 180. The only thing that Kindaichi really gets interested in is if a supposedly unsolvable mystery presents itself to him.
Ryosuke Yamada will play Hajime Kindaichi and Haruna Kawaguchi will play Kindaichi’s childhood friend Miyuki Nanase. Both are reprising their roles that they played in two previous Kindaichi specials.
Titan Comics has announced that they will be publishing an adaptation of Michael Moorcock’s Elric: The Ruby Throne. No release date has been set yet, but keep your eye out for later this year, would be my bet.
If you are in the Mountain of Hakone area or planning on a trip there this looks to be a fun tour, especially if you are an Initial D fan. The Mountain of Hakone is the setting for the Initial D Fifth Stage Anime. Fun2Drive Owner’s Club is introducing an Initial D car rental service.
The cars available are Takumi’s Panda Trueno AE86 and the Takahashi Brothers cars: RX-7 FC3S; and the RX-7 FC3S. It is being marketed as the “Initial D Sacred Pilgrimage Tour: Comparative Drive Pack, Hakone Edition.” The tour will run from May to September and will encompass four racing sites from the series: Nagao Pass; Hakone Turnpike; Shichimagari Pass; and the Tsubaki Line.
The cost is 14,980 yen/$146.00 and an additional 1,980 yen/$19.00 charge for each additional driver. Rental fees for the vehicles are: 2,980 yen/$29.00 for the Trueno; 3,980 yen/$39.00 for the FC3S; and 4,980 yen/$49.00 for the FD3S.
Have fun if you go!
