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.
Another older manga and anime is getting the facelift treatment in Japan, from Toei Animation. This time it is Leiji Matsumoto’s Captain Harlock. Hopefully this will become available in the North American market. It is set to debut in Japan September 7. Thanks to AnimeNews Network for the heads up and “animeanimeno1” on YouTube for the following trailer:
This is to good. Thanks to Todd Wasserman with 6.2k where I found this. Every Science Fiction fan should enjoy this commercial. Thanks Audi for bring fun back into commercials, check it out below from “AudiofAmerica” channel on YouTube:
This weeks major release is The Great Gatsby, so if this is your cup of tea enjoy. Thanks to “TheHollywoodBird” on YouTube for the following trailer:
The band MisterWives has a new single out entitled “Kings & Queens”. This is one of those songs that is hard to describe. On the first listen I wasn’t to hip on it, but after listening to it a few more times the beat gets stuck in your head. It kind of reminds me of some of the songs from the 1980’s. Check it, and if you are like me don’t give up on it. I think you will enjoy it. For more music news be sure to visit Wild Honey Pie’s website http://www.thewildhoneypie.com/.
Sentai Filmworks is releasing Kids on a Slope today on Blu-Ray and DVD. However, if you ordered the Blu-Ray AnimeNews Network is reporting a recall on the Blu-Ray sets because on one of the disc only one voice was transfered (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-05-06/retailer/sentai-filmworks-recalls-kids-on-the-slope-bd-release). If you haven’t picked them up for your anime collection this would be one to consider. Thanks to “fujitv” on YouTube for the following trailer:

Nobody wants to go up against this movie this weekend in the blockbuster race. Is everyone ready for Iron Man 3. I myself can’t wait. Thanks to YouTuber “movieclipsTRAILERS” for the following trailer:
Remember that this weekend, May 4, is Free Comic Book Day. So you can go see Iron Man 3 on Friday night and then Saturday morning go to your participating comic book stores, book stores, and libraries for free comic books! I hope everyone was able to get all of their stock in for the 4th. We have ours in thanks to Prairie Dog Comics, in Wichita, for ordering them for us and we have some extra book marks, provided by Prairie Dog Comics, and graphic novel give aways for those that attend. Our display case in the library has a display of die-cast cars that are comic book themed that people can view as well. Have fun everyone!
There is Danger has the latest release called “Passport”. This is one that will appeal to all the psychedelic fans out there. Not my particular style of music, but that’s what makes the world fun is the differences. I can listen to this song, just not over and over again. Check it out below and see what you think. It might be your cup of tea. Remember to check out Wild Honey Pie for more music news: http://www.thewildhoneypie.com/
