Librarians that work on the anime collection will want to place this on their calendar. The series of Kazue Kato’s Blue Exercist manga has spawned a movie in Japan. The movie will debut in Japanese theaters August 25. Since this is a fairly popular title in North America it will more than likely have a DVD release for our region. I would say it will hit late winter or the first part of spring. Thanks to AnimeNews Network, Blue Exercist official website and YouTube for the following trailer:

AMV Spotlight of the Week
This weeks spotlight is on YouTuber “kapparomeo”. I picked this AMV because it is the week of our Fourth of July celebration and many men and women died to make this country. This individual to the anime Sora no Woto and edited scenes to the song “It’s a Good Day to Die” from the movie Starship Troopers 3. The editing was nicely done and the words fit the scenes very well since it is within the confines of battle/war. Thanks to “kapparomeo” for the AMV and if you want to check it out you can go to YouTube and look under “Sora no Woto AMV – Starship Troopers 3″It’s a Good Day to Die” & Carl Fischer “Il Bersagliere” or check it out below:
