“The hardest part was getting the protagonist, who is ‘the player’ in the game, and making him into a character named ‘Makoto Yuki’ for the film, then figuring out how to integrate him into the story,” elaborates Akitaya.

Okay, let me clarify that: David Goyer is definitely pitching a Sandman movie, and Badass Digest is reporting that The Dark Knight's Rises' Joseph Gordon-Levitt is somehow involved. It's possible that JGL wants to direct it, but it seems much more likely that might play Dream in such an adaptation (or both, hell).
Those of you wondering about the language options in a couple of NIS America's upcoming releases should be pleased to hear some of the latest information. According to Siliconera, both Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and Demon Gaze will include English and Japanese voice tracks.
As previously reported, Danganronpa is heading to PS Vita in North America on February 11, followed by Europe on February 14. As for Demon Gaze, it looks like the dungeon-crawling RPG's target window of early 2014 has been pushed back to spring.

AlainmendezI thought it was funny. Maybe I'm just horrible.
Apparently It's Okay To Be Smart thinks it's okay to be sexist. The science-themed YouTube show is taking a ton of flak after releasing a video portraying Albert Einstein as a lecherous old man who can't keep his hands off Marie Curie during Thanksgiving dinner.
AlainmendezI wonder how much people are going to be mad about more Persona 4 rather than Persona 5.
I can be like Saber burnout in Type-Moon fandom! Joy!
Rumors and speculation have really been hitting a fever pitch in regards to the next Persona project, and we should know what it's all about soon. The latest development involves voice actress Karen Strassman's online résumé, which lists both Persona 4, Vol. 2 and Golden 2 Persona 4.
An excerpt:
Strassman plays Nanako Dojima in Persona 4. Could this hint at the big Persona announcement being a direct follow-up to Persona 4 rather than a new numbered entry, Persona 5? Another clue comes from the recently updated teaser site, which adds Teddie to the boxes at the top of the page.
Atlus already confirmed a big Persona announcement set for Sunday, November 24, and recently launched a Nico Nico live-stream page that kicks off with a 72-hour countdown on November 21 at 20:00 Japan Time.

Evangelion original character designer and manga author Yoshiyuki Sadamoto is making a splash with his Akira tribute cover to the second issue of Anime Busience, a magazine concerning the business of anime, other Japanese pop media and their global reach.

You guise. This may be the most important day in the history of all time and space and fashion-related news.
Surprise, there's a new Uncharted game in development for PlayStation 4! Okay, maybe that's not such a big surprise, but it's coming, and once again Naughty Dog will be handling development on the as-yet-unnamed fourth entry in the series.
For now, enjoy the teaser that made its debut at last night's Spike PS4 launch event.
If you're curious about that voice in the trailer, Naughty Dog's Amy Hennig revealed the actor behind it on Twitter as Todd Stashwick, who was on Heroes and The Riches, among other projects.

AlainmendezIt just reminds me of the days back in the dorm when Katherine used to play the same song for hours to get it out of her head.
There were times when she was very luck she was so very cute.

Joe Wright (Pride & Prejudice, Hanna) is making a Peter Pan origins movie, instead of the dark live-action Little Mermaid adaptation he was previously signed up to do.
Disney is toying with the idea of a Princess Bride "stage adaptation." Please don't suck, please don't suck, please don't suck, please don't suck, please don't suck, please don't suck, please don't suck, please don't suck.
Get ready for the return of Bing Bong the Archer, Hector the Well-Endowed and Marrr. Community is making another Dungeons & Dragons episode! With special gust star David Cross! Which is hilarious considering NBC tried to kill the original beautiful episode before it aired.
All you Marvel fans better get a Netflix subscription if you don't have one already! Marvel has announced that Netflix will air four new live-action Marvel superhero TV shows, based on Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones and Daredevil, along with a miniseries event based on the Defenders. The Defenders!
The Japanese Virtual Console on Nintendo 3DS is getting a pair of Shin Megami Tensei spin-offs in the form of Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Children Black Book and Red Book. Originally released for Game Boy Color in 2000, the simplified SMT games will arrive in Japan on November 11 for ¥600 ($6) each.
Black Book and Red Book both feature monster-collection and demon-fusing action, but they also each have different protagonists with connected stories.
A third game, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Children White Book followed with a third protagonist, and the first two were later bundled together on PlayStation. Devil Children was also adapted into a TV anime series—which ran from 2000-2001 and was followed by a sequel—a manga tie-in, and a trading card game.

Besides creating Otome Yōkai Zakuro and providing the character designs for Penguindrum, Lily Hoshino is a boys love doujinshi artist with plenty of Naruto work to her name. After apparently exhausting a Tiger & Bunny fixation, the new Gundam series, Build Fighters has grabbed her attention, as she's been Tweeting a steady stream of fan art.

They're just not letting up, are they? We only got our first look at Levi the other day and already scans have revealed that the next Attack On Titan figma will be the adorably bowl-cutted Armin Arlert.
Though it's not confirmed yet, there's some talk swirling that Armin will be a WonFes exclusive, which would be an interesting decision on Max factory's part. Given they've got so many characters to choose from making at least one exclusive was a given, but it'd be surprising if such a main character was relegated to that status. Regardless, it's just speculation at this point. As soon as anything more concrete emerges we'll be on it.

Amazon is very bad at keeping secrets. P.S. Neil Gaiman’s Doctor Who ebook is called Nothing O’Clock.
Hilarious.
