According to an announcement released by Japanese publisher Kobunsha on August 29, 2017, The Heroic Legend of Arslan, a series of epic fantasy novels written by Yoshiki Tanaka, will conclude with the release of the 16th volume of the series. Currently, the release date for the 16th volume has not yet been revealed.

 

 

The 1st volume of The Heroic Legend of Arslan was published in 1986, while the 15th volume of The Heroic Legend of Arslan was released in Japan on May 18, 2016. The novels have been adapted into manga and anime several times, most recently in 2015 - 2016 with a TV anime that is available via streaming on Crunchyroll and Funimation. Crunchyroll also distributes The Heroic Legend of Arslan manga with artwork by Hiromu Arakawa.

 

 

Crunchyroll describes the story of The Heroic Legend of Arslan TV anime as follows:

 

Pars Era, the year 320—war is on the horizon. As the soldiers of Pars prepare for battle, a traitor within their ranks turns the tides in favor of the enemy kingdom, Lusitania. Arslan, the young Prince of Pars, survives the massacre to discover that his father has gone missing and his life is in grave danger. Unsure who to trust, Arslan escapes the battlefield, evading capture until he’s found by his loyal friend Daryun, the formidable Black Knight of Pars.

Games often advertise their complex AI, but in truth, offering a wide variety of simple NPC behaviors unique to each enemy often feels more engaging AND challenging to the player than putting them through multiple hours of facing a bunch of NPCs operating on the same AI behavior tree.

Japanese entertainment news site Mantan Web today posted photos of the life-size (about 24 meters) statue of RX-0 Unicorn Gundam from the Mobile Suite Unicorn Gundam OVA series standing in the front of Diver City Tokyo in Odaiba, which is now under construction for completion in fall of 2017.

 

While the teaser visual released in March of this year showed its Destroy Mode, the actual statue is currently building in Unicorn Mode, whose antennas from the forehead are folded. At the same place, the statue of RX-78-2 Gundam was displayed from April 2012 to March 2017.

Anime streaming service HIDIVE has announced plans to present Xabungle in the US and Canada. Starting Tuesday, August 15, 2017, HIDIVE members will be able to stream new episodes of Xabungle every Tuesday at 12pm CDT. The 1982 mecha anime was directed by Gundam creator Yoshiyuki Tomino at Sunrise. 

 

They describe the series

“On the planet Zora, there are two societies: the Innocent and the Civilians. Jiron Amos seeks revenge against the outlaw who killed his parents, but in a world where Civilian crimes are forgiven if they’re not brought to justice within three days, there’s little he can do. Taking his revenge into his own hands, Jiron steals the mecha Xabungle and teams up with a group of bandits, the Sandrats. As his quest continues, Jiron’s actions sow the seeds of rebellion against the Innocent.”

In the latest 37th/38th combined issue of Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday released today in Japan, 54-year-old manga artist Gosho Aoyama's representative mystery manga series Meitantei Conan/Detective Conan (or Case Closed in some countries) reaches its memorial 1,000th chapter. It also becomes the first title to run for more than 1,000 chapters in the 58-year-old manga magazine. To commemorate the record, the issue opens with color pages of the chapter, which is the first time in three years for the manga.

 

Aoyama's most successful and internationally famous series has been serialized in the magazine since January 1994 and has released 93 tankobon volumes in Japan so far. As reported in April, his manga titles including Conan have printed over 200 million copies worldwide.

Twin Peaks: The Return, or Twin Peaks season three, or the greatest TV show of all time, whatever you prefer to call it, hasn’t been a ratings smash for Showtime. But it’s created a huge uptick in subscriptions, and the network is apparently open to doing more seasons—if David Lynch is, too.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable Chapter I, the live-action film adaptation of the fourth story arc of Hirohiko Araki's long-running JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga series, was finally released in 323 theaters across Japan on August 4. Despite the high anticipation based on the manga's strong popularity, the 56-year-old Takashi Miike-directed film earned a disappointing 166 million yen on 117,000 admissions and ranked only 5th in its first weekend box office.

 

The poor first weekend gross was only 30 percent of that of Gintama released three weeks ago, another live-action film adaptation of a popular Shonen Jump manga series. Unfortunately, but as expected, this is the third straight box office failure for director Miike on directing a live-action film based on a popular manga, following Terra Formars (2016) and Blade of the Immortal (2017).  

 

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable Chapter I was expected to be a box office hit,

considering the fact that it is based on Araki's very popular manga series and that the recent TV anime

adaptation of the same fourth arc was commercial and critical success in Japan. So what went wrong?

As the title suggests, the costly live-action film series has planned sequels, but judging from this opening

weekend result, the possibility is now doubtful.

 

Meanwhile, the live-action film adaptation of Hideaki Sorachi's action comedy manga Gintama still

continues its successful run in Japan. It is confirmed that the Yuichi Fukuda-directed film has sold an

impressive two million tickets in 23 days since its release, which is the fastest record for a Japanese

live-action film released this year. It has made 2.73 billion yen so far, and is projected to make at least

3.5 billion yen from its domestic run and to become the top-grossing Japanese film of this summer.

D-Day is too vast and important a topic to be completely covered by four short videos, but we hope our series offered some new insights into the massive effort that went into the Normandy beach landings. James Portnow and Richard Cutland, Wargaming's Head of Military Relations, take some time to chat about some more important D-Day stories.

Convention runs in D.C. on August 11-13

When Fate/stay night was originally conceived by Kinoko Nasu in college, the protagonist was a young girl with glasses and Saber was a male. As the series became popular, and more iterations were developed, this was revisited as Fate/Prototype, featured in an OVA, released with the Carnival Phantasm spoofs, a drama with Comptiq magazine, and Fragments of Blue and Silver light novel series by Hikaru Sakurai and Nakahara. Their story is now being adapted into a series of 5 drama CDs, the first of which is due October 25th. With soundtrack, and novella, it goes for 4,536yen.

 

Hiroomi Takamiya directs with music by Yoshiya Ikeda.
