How Pikachu Has Changed Over the Years
by Brian Ashcraft
You might know that Pikachu in the Pocket Monster anime now looks, well, like a changed Pokémon. But this isn’t the only instance of different Pikachus.

One Of The Highlights Of EVO 2014 Was An Incredible Win With Pikachu
by Gergo Vas
DsiderThe highlight of this year's Melee bracket without a doubt.
Hyping the crowd with a Pikachu plushie, Smash Bros. player Axe pulled an incredible win against Silent Wolf with his Pikachu, beating the hell out of his opponent in record time. It wasn't the grand finals, but without a doubt one of the best moments of all the games played at EVO 2014.

"But I tried my best as an anime fan to try to do the first live action anime movie with Pacific Rim. And that was one of the reasons why I wanted to achieve an almost superpure color palette of super-saturated colors. I was hoping to make the movie feel as dynamic and as vibrant as anime."
Not An Evangelion Rip Off
del toro knows more about mecha and is a bigger fan than 100% of eva nerds calling him out for ‘ripping off’ that show
im still happy that coyote tango was based off of the guncannon
the most important thing i got about this was del toro getting buddy-buddy with junji ito omg that back slapping story
Holy fuck he’s so good

"Assassination Classroom" TV Anime Set for January 2015
by Mikikazu Komatsu
DsiderSeiji Kishi directing again? I'm really getting tired of this guy.
The official site for the upcoming TV anime adaptation of Yusei Matsui's Ansatsu Kyoushitsu/Assassination Classroom manga announced today on July 14 that it will premiere in Fuji TV's Friday midnight block in January 2015. Seiji Kishi (Angel Beats!, Danganronpa, Persona 4) directs the TV anime with scripts by Makoto Uezu (School Days, The Qwaser of Stigmata) for Lerche (Unbreakable Machine-Doll, Re:_Hamatora). Kazuaki Morita (Kamisama Dolls, Arpeggio of Blue Steel -Ars Nova-) designs the anime version characters. The live-action film also plans a 2015 release, but no details including the cast has been yet announced.
It is also announced "Korosensei Shop," the only-shop for the franchise's limited items will open at Fuji TV's "Odaiba Shin Tairiku (New World) 2014" event in Odaiba, Tokyo, on July 19. You can check the collaboration visual for the event featuring Nagisa, Karma, Kaede, and Korosensei below.

Pun intended.
Japan is famous for its high tech toilets. But the country also has some truly unique restrooms to go with those fancy toilets.

Experience a First-Person Walk Through Tokyo
by Brian Ashcraft
Maybe you've always wanted to visit Tokyo. You can visit a fairly realistic (though, highly stylized) version in Sega's Yakuza games. Or you can watch this video.

Proof That Boxtrolls Will Be One Of The Year's Most Striking Movies
by Lauren Davis
Dsider:O
Laika's next stop-motion venture, The Boxtrolls, is bringing a lush world of crooked buildings, lavish costumes, cheese-fiending villains, and, of course, the Boxtrolls themselves with their elaborate mechanical inventions. We visited the set, and if you have any doubts about the movie's glorious puppets, props, and sets, take a behind-the-scenes look at The Boxtrolls.

Taking Pokémon Cosplay To The Next Level

DsiderDEDICATION
Dressing like a Pokémon trainer is only part of a good costume. You also gotta get your Pokémon pals right—and this group of cosplayers nails it.

Hair as Exposition: The Best and Worst of Flashback Hair
by Katharine Trendacosta
DsiderHaha so many callbacks to Lost. And gyargh, what is that on Teri Hatcher's head.
When TV and movies do flashbacks, they face a dilemma: They can either cast a younger actor that looks like their star, sacrificing easy recognition OR they can just slap a wig on their actor as an indication that we're seeing the past. And it always looks wrong. It's the uncanny valley of hair.

Katniss is poised to be among the most popular name for babies born in 2014.
by Katharine Trendacosta
DsiderReferring to Khaleesi, who the hell names their kid after a title? They're not pets. Don't tell me parents are also naming their kids Kingslayer. Sigh.
Katniss is poised to be among the most popular name for babies born in 2014. According to Nameberry, which has kept track of the most viewed names so far this year, Katniss is at 14, with The Fault In Our Stars' Hazel in 13th place, and Khaleesi at 18. We'll see if searches correspond to actual names. [The Guardian]

I Wish The Movie Turtles Looked More Like Build-A-Bear's Turtles
by Mike Fahey
Available today online and in-stores Friday, Build-A-Bear Workshop's take on Nickelodeon's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is going to cost me at least $140. Considering the alternatives, I think it's worth it.

Pokémon As Colossal Beasts From Attack on Titan Are Unsettling
by Gergo Vas
DsiderAAAAH KILL IT
Attack on Titan eyes make everything a lot creepier. Beth Emery, an artist on DeviantART, drew a few mash-ups, and even the cutest Pokémon like Jigglypuff or Bulbasaur would look, well, unsettling with Titan features.

If Sailor Moon Starred In A Fantasy RPG
by Patricia Hernandez
DsiderWell, I guess I wasn't fast enough. Then again, only Sailor Moon is in armor here. I think I need to start a to-do list.
Sailor suits might work when it comes to fighting evil by moonlight, but in an RPG? Maybe not so much.

Some Bungie Fans Feel Betrayed About Destiny's PlayStation Perks
by Patricia Hernandez
DsiderHAHAHAHA
Associating Bungie with Halo and Xbox is so last-gen. This generation, Bungie plans to release their newest game, Destiny, on both PlayStation and Xbox platforms—but some fans perceive console favoritism, and they're not happy about it.

Luigi Death Stare Cosplay Terrorizes Convention
by Chris Person
DsiderOh man it's begun. Although, while the important thing is it doesn't look like it causes any damage to the cosplayers, that remix in the video causes damage to my ears.
Luigi isn't just a jerk in Mario Kart 8 , he's also started drive-by shelling cosplayers. How cruel!

An Amazing Glitch That Makes Super Mario World Way Easier
by Patricia Hernandez
Ever heard of the "cloud glitch" in Super Mario World? It's a technique that allows you to spawn a usable Lakitu cloud in your item box, which you can then use to speed through the game. Heck, the glitch even allows you to skip some of the animations in the final Bowser fight, peculiarly enough.

This video shows how pretty much everything in Game of Thrones is fake
by Casey Chan on Sploid, shared by Luke Plunkett to Kotaku
By now, we know that Game of Thrones uses a heavy VFX hand when it comes to building the world of Westeros but it's still amazing how real their visual effects can make it look. That's because pretty much everything is fake. Seriously. Anything far off in the distance or people standing around or flags waving have all been added in digitally.

Yay, One Of Pokémon's Best Features Is Coming Back
by Patricia Hernandez on Pocket Monster, shared by Patricia Hernandez to Kotaku
One of the best things about Ruby and Sapphire was "secret bases"—a feature which let players decorate their own special space, ala Animal Crossing. Alas, secret bases aren't in the newer games, X & Y-but they'll be in the upcoming remakes, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

Pay To Win Claw Game

DsiderHonestly, I feel like I would be stupid enough to try this just once, if only to get a thorough understanding on how crane games work. That is, when they're not horribly rigged to fail.
