As excitement for the Showtime Twin Peaks revival builds, there’s no better time to revisit David Lynch’s cinematic prequel to the series, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. Specifically, the 25-year-old cult classic’s spooky Angelo Badalamenti score, which is getting a stylishly packaged and fully remastered re-release.
Great anime never die. They just move to the gambling arcade. Following 2016's 5th anniversary, Kunihiko Ikuhara's (Utena, Yurikuma Arashi) Brain's Base series Penguindrum is slated to inspire a pachi slot cabinet. The Takakura clan, Ringo and company strut their stuff in a preview video and site.
The anime is also getting an AT-X re-run

Goodnight Morioh. After nine months and 39 episodes, Jojo's Bizarre Adenture has wrapped up another anime. And, as such, we've leaving a certain Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town in S-City, M-Prefecture (unless you're reading Jojolion or picked up the Rohan OVA). To give it a send-off, character designer Terumi Nishii has collected his tribute art from the course of the series, along with a new tribute, joined by animator Kohei Ashiya and more.

The protagonist Ichika Usami is a second year middle school student who loves sweets. When making a
shortcake for her mother who will return from abroad soon, she encounters Pekolin who is very hungry.
The shortcake made by Ichika is filled with her heart, and the "Kirakiraru" energy lodged in sweets is
spilled out from it. Then a bad fairy who is looking for "Kirakiraru" appears and makes the cake all black.
To protect the cake filled with her feeling of love, Ichika transforms into a legendary Patissier PreCure,
"Cure Whip."

Rohan ships out to his luck owners in April 2017.

It’s always a thrill when a stone-cold classic from the golden age of anime suddenly becomes available in the Crunchyroll catalog… and the latest stunner is 1984’s Giant Gorg, directed by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko of Mobile Suit Gundam fame. Filled with superb animation, fantastic characters, and an all-around great time to boot, Giant Gorg gets our highest recommendation. It may look like just another giant robot show, but it definitely ‘aint!
Giant Gorg begins streaming tonight at 7pm PST and will be available to all members in the US and Canada.
About Giant Gorg
Yuu Tagami was never close with his father. Yet after the old man's accidental death, Yuu finds himself on a plane to New York City, following instructions written in a letter from his late father. New York is as strange as it gets for the boy from Japan, but stranger still is Dr. Wave, the man he's supposed to meet. Dr. Wave shares an obsession with the deceased concerning the mysterious New Austral Island. Ten years ago, the island sprang into being, and then just as suddenly vanished off the maps. But it's still there, and Dr. Wave knows there are secrets on that island that demand investigation. Unfortunately, he isn't the only one! The corporation known as GAIL wants those secrets for themselves, and they're willing to kill to get their way! What secrets lie on New Austral Island?
GORG! I WANNA GO ON AN ADVENTURE WITH YOU!
Patrick Macias is editor in chief of Crunchyroll News & Otaku USA magazine. He is also the writer of HYPERSONIC music club, Paranoia Girls, & PARK Harajuku: Crisis Team! He is currently serializing his latest writing project on Wattpad.
According to the latest box office report, the anime film adaptation of Fumiyo Kouno's award-winning manga Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni/In This Corner of the World has earned 708,936,720 yen on 521,289 admission in six weeks since its release on November 12. Its most recent weekly gross was about 110 million yen, more than twice of its first week gross. Thanks to the growing box office success, more theaters are scheduled to be added in the coming weeks.
The director of the film, Sunao Katabuchi originally planned to make a 150-minute film on a 400 million yen budget and drew a storyboard with that length. But due to lack of funds, he had to cut off 30 minutes worth of scenes and completed the 126-minute film on a budget of 250 million yen. In a recent interview, Maki said he wanted to realize Katabuchi's original plan if the film crossed the 1 billion yen mark at the Japanese box office. Then he posted the tweet below yesterday, "We will do the extended edition, I'm just saying." The official announcement is expected to come soon.

AlainmendezGoodbye Genshiken! Hopefully Shimoku Kio's next series will make you just as happy.
Chapter 127 may have been the end of Genshiken’s serialization, but that doesn’t mean it’s all over yet! As fine patrons of the Society for Modern Visual Culture know, the volume releases always come with extras. So, I’m going to give my thoughts on some highlights.
First and foremost, it is absolutely necessary to talk about the cover, which features Sue in a somewhat bizarre cosplay of Ritsuko from Kujibiki Unbalance. It certainly doesn’t look like any prior incarnation of Ritsuko from Genshiken, and that’s because…it isn’t.
The cosplay actually comes from the thinly veiled alternate universe Kio Shimoku manga Spotted Flower. For those unfamiliar with it. The premise basically asks, what if a person very similar to Madarame married someone just like Kasukabe? In it, the unnamed wife, pregnant and sexually frustrated, winds up seducing get husband in that very same outfit.
In other words, Sue (who has become Madarame’s girlfriend) is cosplaying a cosplay worn by a parallel universe Madarame’s wife as a way to get some nerd boott, who is in turn a reference to Kasukabe and her Ritsuko cosplay from Genshiken, which is the defining moment when Madarame fell in love with her.
Talk about peak meta. And we haven’t even opened the book!
Inside, you have the standard comic strips between chapters. I won’t go through all of them, but I do want to draw attention to my favorites. 
First is one where Yoshitake mythbusts every idea that Sue has about ninjas. In reaction, Sue makes a Ninja Slayer reference: “Kill all ninjas! Yeeart! Guwah!”
Here we have Sue, an American otaku, referencing a book series that was supposedly created by Americans who love Japanese culture, which was then translated into Japanese, buy is actually a satirical look by Japanese creators at the American obsession with ninjas. Did I say we hit peak meta before? I might have been mistaken.
The second is after Madarame and Sue start dating. Hato gives some helpful advice, just in case: “Sue lives next to me, and the walls are thin, so keep that in mind.”
This leads to the final post-chapter content, which caps off Genshiken Nidaime. In the last series, it revolved around a discussion of whether Kasukabe is moe. This time, it has to do with how pathetic Madarame and Kuchiki are in different ways.
At his graduation after-party, Kuchiki brags that he has taken Madarame’s first kiss. Ohno exclaims that surely Sue’s more than made up for that deficit, but this is far from the truth. Not a kiss (let alone anything else) has happened, and the members of Genshiken contemplate just how much of a wimp Madarame is. Kuchiki gets upset over the fact that he never got a girlfriend in college, and has the gall to ask Ohno once again if he can touch her boob, just once. Ohno, unfortunately, is very drunk (as tends to be the case with her at parties), and she actually agrees, going so far as to comply when he asks if she can remove her bra partway underneath her sweater. However, Kuchiki makes his attempt, Yajima gut checks Kuchiki. Sadly for Yajima, all this does is awaken a new fetish in Kuchiki. Everyone is happy that he’s graduating and going away.
I kind of wish that the last moments of Genshiken didn’t have Kuchiki at the center, but it isn’t all bad. In particular, I like the notion that Madarame still hasn’t quite gotten over his awkwardness with girls. In fact, the very idea of him having a girlfriend has probably short-circuited his brain. And if anything, it makes me very aware of just how dramatically Sasahara and Ogiue’s relationship escalated once it hit the threshold. The two of them literally starting having sex with each other once they got on the same page, which is probably not the image we ever had of otaku.
The last things I want to talk about are the extras I received with Volume 21.
I ordered from the Japanese comic store Comic Zin, and with it came a 4-page bonus illustration featuring artists associated with the Genshiken universe. It has Koume Keito (artist of the Kujibiki Unbalance manga), Yagumo Kengou (artist of the Kujibiki Unbalance light novel), as well as Kio himself. It also features a message from Tamaru Hiroshi, creator of Rabuyan, a manga about a Madarame-esque loser.
First editions of Volume 21 also get a version of the “Thank You Messages” compilation that came with the final chapter in Monthly Afternoon. It also features brand new color art for its cover, featuring most of the now-gigantic cast of Genshiken. I love the drawing of Ogiue on here; she honestly looks so cool.
So that’s that. I’ll see you (hopefully) in January, as I start my look back on the first Genshiken. But before that, I still have another post to make, about Kasukabe Saki. Keep an eye out!

The Space Battleship Yamato series is full of lovely ladies (even more than before since 2199 came out), but the fans always come back to Yuki Mori. And so does the merchandise, as the Yamato Girls Collection has added a new Yuki variant in anticipation of the release of Space Battleship Yamato 2202: Warriors of Love.
The new 1/8 scale Yuki variant measures about 16cm from knee to head (23cm including the anchor). She's dressed in a bikini and hoodie and poses with an anchor and chain in a vintage "nose art" style pose. She comes with alternate head and body pieces, allowing you to "remove" the hoodie.
The figure is for sale on AmiAmi for 14,040 yen (about $119.80), and will ship out in May of 2017. Limit 3 per customer.

This week Fuji TV held a noitaminA Project Unveiling event and live-streamed some new announcements, including the next step for Wit Studio's Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress. For those who couldn't get enough of the 2016 anime, a followup has been confirmed, with a premiere scheduled for sometime in 2018.
There aren't too many details on Kabaneri's return at the moment, but director Tetsuro Araki clarified that it will be an animated production. Prior to that, fans can look forward to a pair of compilation films and a drama CD that continues the TV anime's story.
Amazon streamed the original series earlier this year. Here's how they describe it:
During the industrial revolution, mankind is threatened by a sudden emergence of undead monsters who can only be killed by piercing their heart through an iron plate. Those bitten become one of them. Called “Kabane,” these monsters exploded in number. The Hinomoto people built fortress stations and barricaded themselves inside. Only steam locomotives, the Hayajiros, can travel between them.
UPDATE: There's also a promo for the announcement featuring footage from the original series:

The official website for 56-year-old Japanese manga artist Hirohiko Araki today announced that, as of the release of the 14th volume of the current 8th arc JoJolion next Monday, his long-running Jojo's Bizarre Adventure manga series has printed 100 million copies in Japan. The saga started with the 1st arc Phantom Blood in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump in 1987, and the eight arcs have released a total of 117 tankobon volumes so far.
The current arc JoJolion has been serialized in the publisher's Ultra Jump monthly magazine since 2011. In commemoration of reaching the 100 million mark, the next January 2017 issue of the magazine, which will be released on the same day with the 14th volume, will feature the manga on its cover.
Araki has posted his comment on the record as below:
"The serialization of Jojo began in 1987. It is a very happy thing that the series reaches the 100 million
copies mark at the timing of its 30th anniversary. And I have nothing but gratitude for the people who
have gotten this series and characters in their hands during this 30 years. But this is not a goal. We are
preparing various plans for 2017, the 30th anniversary year. So I am hoping people will enjoy Jojo in the
future as well."
