So what do you do when you have an anime that sells 40,000 singles in a week of an insert song? Make new OP/EDs, of course!

New OP apparently called Scramble Dash! and the new ED is Bonbon! Bon!?. Singles due out on 7/15.

As part of this year’s 009 Year project, Ishinomori Production has begun to take entries for a Cyborg 009 redesign contest. The winners will be awarded a cash prize and have their works displayed at the Shotaro Ishinomori Magattan Museum as well as the Shotaro Ishinomori Memorial Museum. I’m hoping it turns out as well as the Hokuto no Ken 7artist project!

0verflow has announced that Cross Days, scheduled to ship on 6/26, will be delayed once more, and at the moment, the new release date is a giant question mark. The decision was made after a quality check of their game resulted in a discovery that the game was not of the quality that they had originally hoped for.

I’d make a joke about 0verflow here but… what’s the point any more.

One issue comes with all three stickers! What kind of bozo came up with that one, they could have tripled their sales easily!

Seriously, if you went back in time 6 years ago and told me that Microsoft would be releasing the console for otaku and Sony had the portable for otaku, your nonsense words would probably not even register in my mind.

For those who forget to mark their calendars: A new version of the first new Evangelion movie (You Are (Not) Alone) was released today. The new edition marks the first time the movie is available on Blu-ray (1080p, DTS-HD 6.1/TrueHD 6.1), and features new digital mastering as well as new footage. While the Blu-ray comes in a fancier case, the extras for both stay the same: ads and trailers for the movie, Rebuild of Evangelion 1.01, the promotional video for Angel of Doom, a recording script for 1.11, and news about the second new Evangelion movie, 2.0. Priced at 5040y retail for the DVD and 6090 for the BD.
