I've been tinkering around the web a few days ago, searching for various interesting news (Google News I love you forever). I happened upon several interesting highlights but these two really gave me severe (but awesome) chills despite summer:
CW's popular TV show Supernatural, starring Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki, comes to Japan...in anime form! Reputable anime studio MadHouse (Death Note, Trigun, Black Lagoon) has picked up the series in a 22 episode format delineating the lives and exploits of the Winchester brothers to the Japanese population. The anime Supernatural is expected to release in DVD/BluRay in January 12 and April 6, 2011. (via animenewsnetwork)
animationized to....
this, which looks magnificent.
To view the trailer go to Japan's WB website. The trailer actually looks amazing. I'm loving the art style of the anime. While promising, Supernatural the Anime comes out in 2011, so we (the USA population) probably won't see it until 2020.
Ho-hum, and the other news....
Jersey Shore Videogame Extravaganza!
MTV has recently released Jersey Shore just in time for the summer- the Jersey Shore videogame that is. Featuring an array of your favorite sun-tanned cast members, the Jersey Shore videogame is a fighting game on Facebook that lets you battle it out with your friends, Jersey Shore style. The game is still in beta and lacks a complex fighting system; but watching a cartoonish mini-version of "The Situation" spraying himself with "Bro's glo" in order to replenish health is quite a sight to behold.
Facebook is useful for lots of things. You can use it to interact with friends, update your status (real time), and play games that blow your mind. One of which is the Jersey Shore Facebook game. By no means do you control the characters in this 2D fighting game. All you do is click at the various items (that you've purchased beforehand) to either throw at your opponents (to kill their heath points) or heal yourself. At the end of the day, it comes down to who has the best items to survive the onslaught of pure Jersey Shore madness.
The items themselves are hilarious and the customization of your character (one of the Jersey Shore avatars) are some things to look forward to...once you can afford it with the high in-game price.
