Set in post-apocalyptic 2018, John Connor (Christian Bale), the man fated to be the leader of the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators, and the future he was raised to believe in is altered in part by the appearance of Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a Terminator whose last memory is of being on death row. Connor must decide whether Marcus has been sent from the future, or rescued from the past. As Skynet prepares its final onslaught, Connor and Marcus both embark on an odyssey that takes them into the heart of Skynet’s operations, where they find out a terrible secret that may lead to the possible annihilation of mankind.
This week’s Gurren Lagann Parallel Works video features the song Pierce the Heavens With Your XXX! not as good as the surface-breaking arrangement, it is nonetheless a fantastic song. The video features a pioneer town of beastmen being attacked by the evil Kamina and his flying Gurren-Lagann Fortress. Viral rides into town and challenges Kamina for the sake of his deceased wife and child, as well as for the sake of the town. Excellent animation, but with a “what the fuck moment” at the end go check it out.
The Gurren Lagann movie will be a compilation of the events of the first arc of the series (episodes one through fifteen) with some newly animated scenes. In conjunction with the release of the movie, Gainax has released series of music videos entitled Gurren Lagann Parallel Works which contains alternative stories of Gurren Lagann set to songs from the original soundtrack. The second movie will be a compilation of the final arc of the series (episodes fifteen through twenty seven) and is currently in production. The official Japanese website for the movie remake has released the trailer for the movie today, go check it out.
For those of you who do not know The Watchmen series it was written by Alan Moore who also wrote the cult classic “V for Vendetta” and “From Hell“. The basic plot of The Watchmen center around an alternate reality that closely mirrors the contemporary world of the 1980s. The main difference is the existence of superheroes. Their presence in this history has altered the outcomes of real-world events such as the Vietnam War and presidency of Richard Nixon.
A few days have passed since Capcom announced the Nintendo Wii version of Dead Rising at E3 2008, the words have barely gone cold and Capcom hits us with the launch of the official Dead Rising website for the Wii. And they tease us even further with some really nice in game footage of the Wii version, that has me drooling on my keyboard. Check it out:
Bōnen no Xamdou is the new upcoming Anime show by Studio BONES. (Famous for shows like Eureka 7, Fullmetal Alchemist and RahXephon.) I tried digging around to find more information about the actual plot behind the Anime but it seems like BONES is keeping a really tight lid on this one, and the trailer posted on youtube doesn’t give much away either. But only serves to peak my interests and make me even more curious .
Currently nothing is known about the Anime aside from the staff, genre, and trailer. BONES has promised more information by the end of April, so we will have to wait and see what they have in store for us. By the looks of the character & mecha design, I’m guessing it is the same people behind the animation of Eureka 7. Sony music will be providing the series with the musical score, similar to that of Fullmetal Alchemist and Eureka 7 so we can expect a topnotch soundtrack. I am really looking forward to this title, yes I know its still early days but its Studio BONES after all so who can blame me. LOL!
Yes your eyes have not deceived you yet, the next Pikmin game in the franchise has been announced you may now cry manly tears of joy at this news. During a developer roundtable at E3 2008, Nintendo creative mastermind Shigeru Miyamoto has confirmed for the first time that Nintendo is indeed bringing back the popular franchise. Details are pretty sparse about the game right now but Miyamoto did casually mention “We’re making Pikmin ” during the roundtable presentation. He hinted earlier that a new Pikmin could be on its way when asked about the popular franchise. Somebody needs to get Miyamoto a cape, because he’s my new hero. LOL!
Oh man I am so looking forward to this game. No one does “creepy” better than the Japanese, who figured out creepy is much scarier than buckets of blood a long time ago. Not to mention the fact that the screaming Japanese girl on the couch just made my day. LOL!

And after seeing the tech demo and some screen shots from the actual gameplay, I almost wet myself. And on the 17th of May, High Voltage Software released the Gameplay trailer for The Conduit”, shortly after watching the new trailer I had to go get clean pair of underwear. More details about The Conduit can be found here and here and here and there. And the official pre-E3 trailer can be found here. And now they have released the developers walkthrough footage, man oh man I cant wait for this to get released!
