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 of the fans of CLAMP’s Xxxholic will definitely be interested in this. Xxxholic will be a live action television series this year and the above pictures are the main cast members. The top picture has Anne as Yuko Ichihara and Shota Sometani as Kimihiro Watanuki. The second picture has Karen Miyazaki as Himawari Kungoi, Shota Sometani again and Masahiro Higashide as Shizuka Domeki. Hopefully when this goes to DVD/Blu-ray it will be made available for the North American region.
This season we have lost two members of our community. First was Keiji Nakazawa, the creator of Barefoot Gen and also Gerry Anderson, known for creating Thundercats. The ComicPop Library staff sends each family our heart felt condolences for their losses.

So all the fans of Pokemon can have their information at their fingertips.

Here is one movie I hope they bring over to the North American market. It’s the live action film, Library Wars, which stars Junichi Okada as Atsushi Dojo and Nana Eikura as Iku Kasahara.
