One of my favorite manga/anime series of all time is getting a much needed and much deserved movie. The movie will be part of a trilogy set to start coming out in 2012. Berserk follows Gutz(Orphaned Mercenary) and Griffith (leader of a Mercenary group called The Band of The Hawk) through their lives. Its a fantasy/horror manga that EVERYONE should check out. I CAN’T WAIT!!!! ~

Alright, I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one late on this one, but there’s a Trigun movie coming out this summer? How did I JUST now hear about this? The movie’s called Trigun: Badlands Rumble, and as you can tell from the trailer above, it’s animated and not live action (thankfully).

LOTR/WTF Mashup: Saruman Sings Trololol~

This is a video of Saruman singing the TROLOLO song (which will now be sung in my cubicle for the rest of the day) from atop Orthanc while an audience of do-gooders watch from below. They...aren't very impressed. Me, yes, but I'm tone-deaf. Also, colorblind. I think I'm gray! NOT gay, although I do appreciate a handsome man when I see one, lol~

Local news struggles to comprehend Mikunopolis~

 

So! Mikunopolis happened, and it was awesome. Besides being awesome, it happened in America, where Miku isn't as big...yet. Therefore, it was only natural that local news outlets pick it up, to fill in their mandatory "human interest" block. Or in this case, Vocaloid interest~

Such was the case with KTLA, which performed a decent enough job of highlighting this strange Japanese cultural curio. Like most mainstream news coverage it still suffers from some of the misconceptions about why Vocaloids are a thing, but Miku's label as a "virtual diva" is as good a shorthand as any. At least they didn't make any jokes about robot overlords or somesuch~

Best Beer Commercial Ever~

This is the best beer commercial ever (SET TO THE NIGHT RIDER THEME!) coming to us all the way from Hahn Brewery, Australia. It features an overview of their brewing process from beginning to end, which, from what I could gather, is almost identical to the preparation of my famous deviled eggs. Well, except with less drumming. That shit'll f*** a yolk up~
