Masaki Aiba of the male idol group Arashi will star in a live-action television series adaptation of Araki Joh and Kenji Nagatomo's Bartender manga starting next January. This year's 24th issue of Super Jump magazine made the announcement on Wednesday. Aiba will play Ryū Sasakura, a genius bartender who makes the finest cocktails for his customers.

Where did the stripe come from? And noooiiiiccceee pics!

That's true, you know me too well. I should have you squirrel'd.

Sounds on some cars still seem to be a problem but looks like with the Lambo's they actually got hold of and recorded them. :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmoTrOS3Yco

Yeah I'll get that up tomorrow probably. Just post a thread with yourname and Photomode in it and I'll know which to move when I create the forum.

Watch some videos, and know that stills hardly represent a game in motion as you don't know what post processing is being done when in motion. Believe me I have heard the good and the bad but for the most part the actual driving and racing seems to be really good. The unlocking structure the game seems to have is weird but then PD are Japanese and they love levelling up. lol I believe the Standard thing will go down as one of the worst choices ever in gaming but if like me you didn't care about them anyway then GT5 is very good at what it's always done. There's one guy who is an actual track racer and he has vids of him playing and showing off GT5, watching him drive in that game is really a joy to behold. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNCfoNLDI-Q

That one would make sense seeing as the US is the 8th. It would be nice to get it on the 4th though before the yankee's! :lol:

Wait so you're playing it or just looking at images as those who are playing and with the Premium, let's just call them proper cars seem to be having fun with it with their G25 and G27's. Grrr! :lol: The standard cars thing is a filler, I'm sure they may update these to Premium via updates as well as give DLC but if - like I've said for a while - you look at GT5 as GT3 as in 220 odd cars plus everything else, it's a worthy GT title. The odds are always the worst also in content and that doesn't seem to have changed. I'm looking forward to seeing you guys posting your Photomode pics up!

That would be nice to get it before the US for a change. It is a Friday too so it could be true I guess.

Run little one run. :evil:

Atari thank god is not EA or Acitivsion. Though they probably want to be, if they could be a nice EA that would be great!

The official website for the anime version of Ika Musume has recently updated itself with an announcement stating that an entirely new mini side-story called “Mini Ika Musume” will be bundled together with the fifth and sixth volume of the Blu-Ray and DVD discs. Not much information regarding what “Mini Ika Musume” is really about (ya’know, the plot and all), but what is definitely clear is that you’ll see the chibi version of Ika-chan everywhere in the side-story, and this is probably inspired by the chibi versions of her that appears in the anime every here and then. The first of the side-story will be available in Spring next year. Source:http://www.notcliche.com/lbw/ika-musume-bddvd-bundles-mini-series

The official website for the Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler) television anime franchise has begun streaming a 189-second promotional video for the three original video anime (OVA) episodes that are being included exclusively in the Kuroshitsuji II DVDs. "Ciel in Wonderland (Part I)" shipped in the second DVD volume last month, and it re-imagines the cast of Black Butler II as characters in Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland story. "Welcome to the Phantomhive Family" is shipping in the third DVD volume on Wednesday, and it casts the audience as the "O-jō-sama" (Milady) of a dating simulation game similar to Angelique or Fantastic Fortune. "Making of Kuroshitsuji II" will ship in the fifth DVD volume on January 26, and it spoofs behind-the-scenes documentaries by showing the cast on and off camera as they put on makeup and other chores.

Sega announced on Monday that its Sakura Wars game franchise and Sammy's Kaitō Tenshi Twin Angel game franchise are collaborating on the upcoming Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity role-playing game (RPG). Weapons and costumes inspired by those of the Sakura Wars and Kaitō Tenshi Twin Angel 2 characters will be available as downloadable content for a fee. Sega had already announced that the RPG will feature collaborative content from the virtual idol Vocaloid Hatsune Miku, the characters of the Nico Nico Douga site, the new Evangelion anime films, the anime Gurren Lagann, and the Shining Hearts and Valkyria Chronicles 3 games. Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity will debut in Japan on February 24, 2011. Red Company developed the first Sakura Wars game for Sega in 1996. The strategy role-playing game franchise follows the alternate-history adventures of several all-female mechanized task forces — that also perform musicals to maintain their top secret cover. NIS America, a subsidiary of the game company Nippon Ichi Software, adapted the Sakura Taisen V ~Saraba, Itoshiki Hito yo~ game as Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love, the first Sakura Wars game to be released in North America. There have also been many anime and manga adaptations over the years [img width=137 height=160]http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk241/Eudemon_Randy/twinangle.png Kaitō Tenshi Twin Angel (not to be confused with Twin Angels) began as a magical girl pachisuro (pachinko-parlor slot machine) game with Yukari Tamura and Mamiko Noto as Haruka "Red Angel" Minazuki and Aoi "Blue Angel" Kannazuki. It already spawned a manga, a two-volume video anime series, and a new web anime. The Kaitō Tenshi Twin Angel 2 game shipped last year.

Takashi Yamaguchi, a lawyer who opposed the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's bill to restrict manga, anime, and games with sexual and "anti-social" depictions of children earlier this year, has posted the revised version of the bill that the government plans to submit at the end of this month. Later on Monday, the "nonexistent freelance writer Taniwake" and a Twitter user named "beni-uo" highlighted the differences in the revised text. The proposed bill would amend the existing Youth Healthy Development Ordinance, which already prevents the sale and renting of "harmful publications" to people under the age of 18. The current ordinance defines harmful publications as materials that are "sexually stimulating, encourages cruelty, and/or may compel suicide or criminal behavior.” The proposed bill would require the industry to also self-regulate the sale and renting of "manga , anime, and other images (except for real-life photography)" that "unjustifiably glorify or emphasize" certain sexual or pseudo sexual acts. The revised bill will specifically target depictions of "sexual or pseudo sexual acts that would be illegal in real life, or sexual or pseudo sexual acts between close relatives whose marriage would be illegal" and therefore be "detrimental toward the healthy development of youth." Another section of the revised bill would allow the government to directly restrict the sale and renting of the above images if the depicted acts are also "considered to be excessively disrupting of social order" such as rape. The revised bill no longer uses the controversially vague term "nonexistent youth" as the original version did before its rejection by the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly in June. Instead, the proposed restrictions applies to all characters, regardless of their perceived age. The proposed bill specifically includes "manga, anime, and other images" but excludes photography and live-action materials. It also includes materials that are not necessarily "sexually stimulating" as the current Youth Healthy Development Ordinance states.
