FUNimation has released Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 as part of their classics line. So if you don’t have it in your collection you can pick it up. Here is the trailer through their YouTube channel:
New Dragon Ball!
This one is for all the Dragon Ball fans. This July, Japan’s Fuji TV will premiere a brand new Dragon Ball animated television series entitled Dragon Ball Super. This is inspired by Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball, but he is not writing the script. So more than likely this will make its way to the North American Market.
Attack on Titan Live Action Trailer!
All I can say is that I hope a North American distributor will pick up Attack on Titan for distribution. Australian distributor Madmen Entertainment has already picked it up for their region and has begun streaming the following subtitled trailer on their YouTube channel. Above is pictures of the movie poster and the three leads in order are: Haruma Miura as Eren; Kiko Mizuhara as Mikasa; and Kanata Hongo as Armin.

Death Note Gets Another Adaptation
Didn’t know or think this would happen but it did….Death Note the Musical. HoriPro began streaming a sampling of the songs which you can see below, from their YouTube channel. So Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata get to see another incarnation of their manga and I have to admit listening to some of the songs they aren’t to bad.
