I stopped by the Veef Show to discuss the latest Mobile Suit Gundam series, Iron-Blooded Orphans. Have a listen, as we have fairly different perspectives on the show, and I’d love to know what you think of the series as well.
For reference, the post I mentioned about McGillis can be found here, and the series I mention at the end of the podcast that I have begun chapter reviewing is here.
So in conclusion, Fumitan Admoss is the best.
After last year’s fight over the TV rights to Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time, Jordan’s widow Harriet McDougal has said that the legal situation is sorted and a new adaptation is already on its way.
Nintendo announced release plans for the next set of fresh Fire Emblem Fates maps. The first new map, "In Endless Dreams," will be available to download on May 5 for 49 cents, or you can go ahead and throw down $7.99 for Map Pack 2 and receive all six upcoming maps when they launch.
Subsequent maps in this series will be $1.99 each, so if you plan on getting them all you'll save a few bucks with the pack up front. Here's the full release schedule:
The maps in the Map Pack 2 collection tell one ongoing story. Here's how Nintendo describes it:
Across dimensions, other versions of the Hoshidan and Nohrian children are under attack. Born and raised in the Deeprealms, these fledgling warriors must now rise up to save themselves and their parents as they unravel the mystery of their adversaries. In this six-map series, units leveled up in the main game cannot lend support. Players must devise a strategy using a fresh team to reap the rewards, but only if all units survive.
Nintendo is also offering another Gift from Anna—which includes the Boots and Paragon items—as a free download on May 5.

One of the most famous Star Wars characters not in The Force Awakens makes his sequel trilogy debut in a new Lego short film set right before the events of the film. Nice to see you again, Lando Calrissian.
The lesson, as always, is that we’re dumb. All of us. Even the smartest among us can never save us because we’re all so dumb. Why? Because when we hear the wrong words, we don’t bother to fix ourselves but instead adopt those wrong words into our language even though they’re clearly wrong. It’s great! Language is always changing... for the worse.
Over the weekend we posted about a countdown that recently went up on the official Persona 5 website, ticking down the time until May 5. While no new information is here yet, Atlus announced that the countdown will end with a special Niconico broadcast on May 5 at 21:30 JST.
We'll have to wait and see what the "Take Tokyo Tower" broadcast ends up consisting of, but it's a pretty safe bet that we'll learn more about Persona 5, and at the very least see some fresh footage.

Sony Music's Western label has announced that their Complete Best ~The Singles~ collection of Australian duo Savage Garden will feature an anime-version jacket with Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable character design recreating lead Josuke Higashikata in an iconic pose, previously featured in work likes 1993's art book JoJo 6251.
The May 25th release features 18 tracks, including Diamond end theme "I Want You" and a bonus, live acoustic version. Series manga author Hirohiko Araki comments that "I Want You" perfectly captures the spirit of Jojo Part IV's 90s era setting, and that the song makes a dramatic progression that is ideal for the anime. Savage Garden's Darren Hayes comments that he was happy to see the song selected as the seres' end theme and that he's glad to be part of such a cool collaboration.

Sony's streaming platform Crackle has announced a slate of new initiatives that include 2017 stop-motion animated comedy SuperMansions, executive produced by and starring Bryan Cranston (Macross Plus, also something called Breaking Bad) as a middle-aged hero working with Millennials, and a series of new "multiplex channels," as part of their “Always On” platform.
The free, ad-supported network is broken into seven categories including Anime, Comedy, Action, Drama, Thriller, Sports and Fandom. These work like linear TV, where, once a channel is selected, shows will play, anchored by original content.
The platform currently has Osamu Dezaki's live-action spin-off Ultraviolet: Code 044, and Shinji Aramaki's Viper's Creed as exclusives. In the past, they've been the only place in America to catch other anime, such as Nodame Cantabile.

PlatinumGames (Bayonetta, Vanquish, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, etc.) is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, but some changes are afoot at the developer. This holds particularly true for PlatinumGames president and CEO Tatsuya Minami, who has stepped down according to a report on Japanese game industry website Game Business.
The report doesn't mention if Minami is still in the company in any capacity. Minami apparently left the studio in late March, with Kenichi Sato stepping into his role. Minami is currently still listed as president on Platinum's official site.
In other corporate moves, developers Atsushi Inaba and Seigo Tabira have joined the company's board.
You can read Tatsuya Minami's vision for PlatinumGames over at the English website's Company page. The studio's latest collaboration with Nintendo, Star Fox Zero, hits Wii U tomorrow.

Despite the general perception, Fate/ doesn't really have THAT many gender-swapped Heroic Spirits (about 14). Smartphone game Fate/Grand Order introduced a new one with its pre-release promotion in Saber King of Combat Altera, better known to history as Attila the Hun. She's also set to be featured in RPG Fate/Extella. Mamiko Noto voices the character with Huke (Steins;Gate) providing the designs. And, Huke is back, with maid art tailored for Fate/Grand Party in Harajuku.

Nasu: The Fate/Zero event will be fun, of course! Actually, during the planning phase a year ago, there was a character that we were writing as a surprise for players, and when I asked (Gen) Urobuchi to write a story with that character as protagonist, he gladly accepted it. But during the plotting stage, even though I said, “Write something with a happy ending for once,” first he asked me, “Can’t I have this character kill this other character and end it there?” and he gave me a plot that was even darker than Fate/Zero.[laughs] I said, “What kind of festival do you think we’re making here?! Gen, you should believe more in dreams, aspirations, and the bonds between people!” and had him revise the whole thing. Urobuchi also plays FGO, so the meeting was pretty simple. It went like, “Urobuchi, I want you to write a Fate/Zero collab event for FGO. Actually, just do it.” “Understood. I’ll burn through it with my 3☆ party. Though I did Kintarou [5] during the New Year.” There was absolutely no need to explain the system, so it was all just “I’ll leave it to you!”
Also from Type-Moon Ace

Ever since Char Aznable became one of anime’s most memorable characters, many Gundam series have included similar rivals for their heroes. In general, they’re enemy pilots of roughly equal power who wear masks or something similar to hide their faces, and who often have their own ulterior, if noble, motives. Most recently joining the likes of Zechs Merquise, Harry Ord, and more is McGillis Fareed from Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans, and his approach to being “a Char” is probably the most well-realized out of all of them.
Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans spoilers below.
Throughout the original Gundam, Char Aznable is willing to (and has!) back-stabbed even his closest friends because his true goal, to get vengeance for the death of his father, overrides any sort of sentiment he might possess. McGillis is incredibly similar. He’s willing to sacrificing childhood friends for the sake of accomplishing his motives, but in a way he might also be even more scheming and cut-throat than Char himself. While Char might sabotage some of his own side for personal reasons, he never actively leaked information to the enemy or tried to orchestrate both sides to fall in his favor.
McGillis has gone from being a fairly interesting character to being one of the reasons I’m looking forward to the next season of Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans. Given the overall quality of the show, I really, really hope the series doesn’t suffer from Sunrise “half-way point syndrome” like so many of their mecha anime, where in an attempt to become more successful a show loses what made it special in the first place.

Way back in 2008, Tech Gian announced plans for a remake of Fate/stay night creators TYPE-MOON's vampire visual novel Tsukihime with new, enhanced artwork and sound, changes to the storyline, and the originally discarded route for Yumizuka Satsuki. Last year, TYPE-MOON Ace 10 said that the action is being moved closer to Tokyo and previewed new characters. An early look at TYPE-MOON Ace 11, out April 15th, says, well, more event CG has been previewed.
Reportedly release details are still to be announced. Beyond saying that the game is currently in development, indications are that there's no news in the feature.
