I don't think I understand the granularity of their rating system when I read things like this.

loooool

They'd give Prog Irony a run for their money, I'm sure.

That needs to be Bill & Tedded up.

"Hello San Dimas! We are... Myld Syx RyfyrynceS!"
No Syx please, we're Egyptian.

Not sure why that came into my head. Anyway, wouldn't that be "six"? You could probably get away with "Rifirinces" at least (bonus points for a "riff" pun). I may be overthinking it.

I figure punctuation in titles is generally symbolic. A full stop could represent "and nothing else", maybe kind of a statement of being an absolute since nothing can be added without being in a separate sentence (or, y'know, before the title). That said, I'm not sure what that would really mean but it sounds cool.

Considering that K-ON! The Movie was given a 12 certificate as a result of a single scene where, while in their hotel room, Azusa thought Yui had "improper intentions", I was actually quite worried that Love Live! School Idol Project was going to end up with that rating too.

Glad to know that Nozomi hasn't ruined everything, like she did in Australia:

K-On is the most sexless thing ever - I'd be surprised if the concept of sex even existed in that show's world.

As for Nozomi, every pic I see of her now, her facial expression looks mischievous.
 
I wouldn't go that far. IDK if you've seen the movie but the Yuri undertones are very heavy in that scene that Joshawott mentioned. Plus I'm sure there are one or two examples of innuendo and stuff throughout both series like when Mio exposes her underwear on stage for example.

Nisekoi Part 1 got delayed slightly. Apparently it's coming out tomorrow instead.

My biggest concern about the story is that review copies are apparently no longer being sent to outlets, especially given how issue-prone Kazé releases have been in the past. I also find it odd that this has only been announced now - surely Manga UK and at the very least, Kazé, must have foreseen that something was amiss before they came into the office this morning?

Since Kaze review discs are usually finished copies, it's no surprise that there haven't been any review discs to outlets as yet. It isn't the first time with Kaze, but it's hardly a trend. And it doesn't say anything about no review discs in the article you've linked.

Considering that the shipment delay Nisekoi encountered pushed the release back by only a single day, I have to wonder whether it would have actually affected the supply and distribution of review discs at all and if it did, then surely Manga UK would have seen this coming earlier than the official launch day? I find it hard to believe that they only found out about the issue this morning - and if they didn't, then maybe they should have communicated it to fans earlier?

In regards to the review copy bit, I found out about that from people I follow on Twitter, such as Andy Hanley of UK Anime Network.

Insistent Terminology..
Remember when ANN tried simulcasting? Well we have "togainu no chi - Bloody Curs" in the encyclopedia because the licensor insisted it be lower case. Not to mention Akiyuki Simbo.
It's not the first show with a period. at the end even, although I mentally edit them out so can't recall any other examples.
 
A low quality clip has surfaced on youtube, puporting to be the opening sequence for the Italian broadcast of the forthcoming Lupin III tv series. It hasn't been confirmed as the genuine article and the song itself has been widely criticised, but it does contain some additional footage from the show not yet seen elsewhere.


Edit: I'd missed that ANN ran the clip as well. According to them, it was released by the Italian broadcaster for the show and is indeed the genuine article.
