Anime – Space Battleship Yamato 2199
Although I ended up liking the recent live action Space Battleship Yamato movie many long suffering fans took an opposing view that it did not live up to expectations. Regardless, I don’t expect there to be another live action movie anytime soon yet Yamato fans should still be happy to know that 2012 will see the release of another anime series this time named Space Battleship Yamato 2199. However, don’t expect this to be a mythical season 4 continuation of the original show as the new series is essentially an updated re-telling of season 1 featuring the now famous journey to Iscandar and the main antagonists being the Gamelons.
Anime/TV – Noir (2012) Update
I remember almost a decade ago when I was nearing the climax of the Noir anime series that an idea popped into my head that here at last was a candidate for easiest translation of anime to Western cinema as there was nothing in it that would take either a gargantuan budget to produce or a massive rewrite to make it palatable for American viewers.
