Kokul’s World

Yes this is old news, but BONES has finally announced a remake of the Full Metal Alchemist series. It will be another 52 episode run, however the quirk this time is that they will stick faithfully with the manga rather than diverging halfway through.

As a fan, I am sort of dismayed since this creates a disparity between the original series and this new one. I think some people are going to completely ignore one in favour of the other, especially since the same studio is making it. But I suppose milking such a massive cash cow is just too irrestible… Continue reading

For many anime fans out there, you’ll know what steampunk is. In fact, it isn’t only restricted to anime, the setting is also used in video games such as Final Fantasy and even some Hollywood movies. For others who don’t know what steampunk is, it basically is a world where technology from the Industrial Revolution (19th Century) and Victorian-England styling meet and combine smoothly with science-fiction or fantasy elements such as futuristic technologies and devices.

Basically, I am a massive fan of steampunk. Some great examples of steampunk is Last Exile and Full Metal Alchemists.

The reason why I love steampunk so… Continue reading

To all you Canadians out there, you understand my pain, right? Cheering for our athletes just to see them fall short of a medal and even be eliminated in the first or second round of their sport. It is something I’ve seen time and time again.

After watching them lose several times to other countries like the USA and Australia, I can only come to one conclusion, we need to overhaul our system for supporting athlete. Unlike those in USA, Australia and many other countries in the world, the government of Canada does little to support our athletes.Nations like USA provide… Continue reading

That’s right all you Black Lagoon fans (myself included). I just got word today from Anime News Network that Black Lagoon has been green-lit for a third season. That means more gun fights, blood, swearing and over-the-top action sequences, stories and crime bosses for just about everything!

However there haven’t been any details about when it will be released and if it is going to be licensed for distribution in North America. Also, it is not yet known if animation studio Madhouse and director Sunao Katabuchi will be returning to bring this series to TV once again. Fans can only

Well the new Guitar Hero: On Tour game for DS is now available. It is the latest installment in the popular Guitar Hero franchise that brings the fun of the game to a mobile platform allowing you to jam with friends wherever you are.While it seems a bit lame, I’ve tried it and it is as much fun as playing the console version. Although I miss the feeling of holding the guitar controller, the DS version proves to still proves to provide the same level of fun.

Stores like Futureshop are selling the Guitar Hero and Nintendo DS bundle for a… Continue reading

I haven’t gotten quite a category for this, but I might make this into a small series of my own if I have the time.  Basically, I will discuss funny headlines that I have come across from time to time. As the first of this series, you get two funny headlines in one.

The first headline reads “12 people injured in wedding in Chechnya when angry guest throws hand grenade.”

I stumbled across this while watching my local TV news channel at around midnight. So why was I laughing at people getting injured? Well the fact that a guest had a hand… Continue reading
