Godzilla Teaser Trailer
We are getting another chance at making a Godzilla movie. I didn’t mind the last one, but Godzilla has a specific look that was not represented, which upset a lot of fans. This time it looks like Warner Bros. is trying to keep that specific image that everyone gets when you say Godzilla. Thanks to the “Godzilla” channel on YouTube for providing this teaser trailer, it looks fairly decent and it is scheduled for a May 16, 2014 release date:
We Finally get a Full Kiki Trailer
After a couple of teaser trailers we finally get the first full trailer for the upcoming Kiki live action film. I would expect this movie will be either dubbed or subbed to be sold in the North American market when it becomes available for sale. I’m sure everyone has the anime in their collection.

One Piece Symphony in Paris
The One Piece Symphony is heading back to Paris. It would be way cool to get some concert dates in North America. The symphony will play music from the anime in front of footage, also from the anime. If you are going to be in Paris on April 5, 2014, you might want to see if you can get some tickets to the performance. It will be at the Grand Rex for two performances, one at 2:00 p.m. and the other at 8:00 p.m. Check out the trailer below from “Le Fee Sauvage” on YouTube:

Black Butler Trailer
Black Butler is a manga series by Yana Toboso and is being release by Yen Press. Great news for the fans of the series in a since. The live action Black Butler is set to be released in Japan, January 18, 2014. The film stars Hiro Mizushima as Sebastian and Ayame Goriki as Shiori, Sebastian’s newest master. The movie is set 130 into the future of the manga series so it is not a straight up adaptation, but could be looked at as a future story for the series. It depends on how one looks at the film. Since Warner Bros. is involved with production I would think that this movie will eventually make it to the North American market either as a dubbed or at least a subtitled movie.
