I also promised The Jazz Messenenger that I'd link to their wonderful Cowboy Bebop site. They were really helpful by allowing me to use some of the pictures from their gallery. It is a very high quality site, so if you like the Cowboy Bebop section (or even if you don't), visit there for more.

On another note, the FORUMS SECTION is doing well. For those who don't know, a forum is a messageboard more or less. I think it'd be even better with more people on it, of course, but it's all really up to the enthusiam of you guys. I've noticed a recent increase in the Jukebox usage. you guys love it, don't you?!

NARUTO ROCKS!

I also recieved the next comic page from the artist. He promises me they'll be coming faster so I thought everyone should give that a look too. The plot is great ('cuz I made it) and the art is great ('cuz Nick is a good artist). If you think it sucks, post something on our forums/messageboard. Yea, go there too. Visit everything on this site, you won't regret it, we even have pictures of ourselves and lightsaber battles somewhere in this site...

The second season of Full Metal Panic is close at hand as the Natsume Maya website reports Fuji TV will commence broadcasting the 4th of August 2003.

Sony, makers of the most successful game console Playstation and Playstation 2 recently announced their new "Playstation X" or PSX for short. The new model will include a DVD drive, a TV tuner and an integrated hard disk of 120 GB capacity capable of storing hours of videos and internet games.
The new models can be enhanced with a DVD recorder unit. Ethernet, USB 2 and a memory stick interface are included. The release date is 2003 (Japan) and 2004 (Europe)

*Sighs* I guess that's all for now, if you guys have any news worth mentioning post it in the forums boards.

CANNES, FRANCE, 19 May 2003—In an announcement sure to make waves in the entertainment industry, ADV Films President and CEO John Ledford today publicly confirmed industry rumors that the firm has acquired the rights to produce, and has already begun development of, a live-action feature-film based on the Japanese animated television series “Neon Genesis Evangelion,” a multi-million dollar worldwide franchise and perhaps the most influential anime title in the history of the art form. The project is a collaboration between ADV Films, Gainax and Weta Workshop, Ltd.

Just for all of those who dunno Weta Workshop, Ltd., it's a special effects group that did a little movie called Lord of the Rings. My thoughts on this. Dunno. If it's made to release in America, it most likely will suck. But then I have to admit America is the best at making Live-action movies. Look at the original movie of The Ring compared to the American version. The American one was much better. So this is just one we'll have to sit back and see. Asuka better kick ass.

Also, as you can tell from the fact that I'm even posting this, we survived the trip to ACEN - and had a blast there as well. We took plenty of cosplay pictures while we were there (most of the top-of-the-line ones) and as soon as those get developed and sent to me, I'll start working on reviewing them. Also, in case you didn't realize before - I added 2 new movies to the reviews section: Grave of the Fireflies and Miyuki-chan in Wonderland.

Pretty soon we should be getting a new forum system set up where you can get your own avatar and chat directly with us and stuff. It should be pretty neat.

Finally, we've been discussing starting a really huge weekly-updated project that may or may not appear on the site in the near future. It's a pretty vast undertaking, so I'm not sure we'll be able to do it yet. I'm not going to give away too much. Until then, keep checking back for new updates - there's a lot going on.
