Say it ain't so! They're trying to make manga "cool" or trying to appeal GG and Twilight to the manga crowd. Yen Press is making a Gossip Girl manga-- and the Twilight manga; and yes, this isn't just a rumor. The Twilight manga is also getting an anime-- I don't have a source on this but HOLY HELL DNW. I do like the comment someone made though-- "The drawings have more personality than the actors." Don't be afraid though-- Avril Lavigne and Courtney Love have both created manga-- and they BOMBED. They were absolutely awful. LET'S MAKE SURE NO ONE READS THESE In other news-- GOOD NEWS-- Zac Efron talked about being Kira in Death Note! In an interview, he talks about being approached for a Death Note movie (towards the end.) He says it's not a big project yet-- it's still on the back burner, but he loves Death Note (lol he reads WSJ or something) and he'd like to see it come into fruition. Also, in case you haven't heard, Iron Man and Wolverine are getting anime. Iron Man Wolverine. Though, Iron Man looks better than Wolverine, because Wolverine looks like a fucking scary bishounen. (lol sorry-- this news is quite old)

yet another notification that humanity is quickly falling into a pit of despair - gossip girl and twilight manga. In the pristine pool of artistic expression that is the interface known as manga... SPARKLY VAMPIRES AND 50 COLORED PAGES OF BITCHES BITCHING ABOUT NOTHING

What!? No! NO! Say it isn't so! Yen press lost my vote when they changed the cover jacket on spice and wolf to appeal to non-otaku. Original Japanese cover: American release cover: After a lot of complaints, they offered the original cover in the form of a removable sleeve but the actual cover is forever trapped in the realm of scary 3D lady. How is Zack Efron good news? The only person fit to be in deathnote is Samuel L. Jackson. Yes, knew about the iron man and wolverine thing. They look okay but I probably won't watch it. If creepy wolverine doesn't suit your tastes, you might be interested in the x-men manga. It's a shoujo starring Kitty Pride(the cutest x-men ever!).

D> I am mildly upset moreso at the Spice and Wolf cover change... Like seriously why? I'm sorry to say this but I don't think anime has the capacity to break into mainstream America. Sure culture changes over time, but I don't think throwing on some creepy lady with a wolf tail that looks less "moe" and obviously animu will increase sales. Sorry, no go.
IF they wanted sales why not just a naked picture of Horo?
... D: And I think Zac Efron as Kira would be a good thing. For the LOLs. Will Light and L's epic tennis match be turned into a round of basketball hohohoho

I'm not sure if I will hate a DN musical, or LOVE a DN musical...... *EDIT* nvm, it will probably end up like this: or if 4Kids handles the movie, like this:

Dude. I don't think 4Kids can get their hands on a motion picture company. And if they could... *BARF*
Also - DN musical would only be worth if if there was a montage spoofing "I Feel Pretty" during the first kill-spree following the "I'll take a potato chip and eat it" line

Actually, Zac Efron says in the video that he's glad he's finally being approached for something that ISN'T a musical.
Also, Yen Press runs 1001 Nights so I still like them ):

Actually...I liked that DN musical.... I heard about the Twilight manga a couple of years ago...I hope the money fills the empty place the souls of the producers once inhabited... Zac Efron as Raito? I wonder if he could pull off the awesomeness that was in the cartoons. Good luck with that. Either way, I would be the chick dying in her chair from laughter.

Oi, didn't they already try a Wolverine manga that bombed? I know in the story line he spent some time in Japan, but it looks nothing like him. Besides, the action is all slow-mo and just shifting people sort of gliding through the air. It doesn't even feel like they're fighting so much as ice-skating.
Iron Man actually doesn't look half-bad, at least as far as the action goes. It has a sort of "Karas" feel to it.
And I'm not worried at all about Gossip Girl, but that Twilight crap is scaring me. There are enough blood-thirsty (pardon the pun) vampire fans out there that they'll buy anything that has fangs and sparkles.

you know what mainstream news should really be talking about? This new game I found recently called Liar's Poker. It's really fun, and can totally be the life of the party
