NewType has revealed at Anime Expo that Five Star Stories by Mamoru Nagano has been licensed for an official English translation by Titan Comics.


Titan have been translating more and more manga in recent years and were besieged by controversy when their release of Kamen Rider Kuuga for numerous faults and misleading marketing. I am unaware if their more recent offerings such as Burst Angel or
ATOM: The Beginning have resolved these issues. Hopefully these problems are behind them as more publishers and the release of more obscure yet influential titles would be ideal.

A piece from the BBC about anime songs.

They've put a remix of Tank! on their playlist rather than the original, even though it is available. No choice with the Kanada remix because the Akira soundtrack still isn't available, although I see a bunch of Geinoh Yamashirogumi albums have been added at some point recently!
Bling-Bang-Bang-Born is probably my least favorite Creepy Nuts OP/EDs. Call of the Night and Dan da Dan ones are better.
Probably could be here all day making recommendations for both old school and newer faves not on the playlist!

Fellow Voice actress Erica Schroeder reported on Thursday that fellow voice actor and script adaptor James Carter Cathcart has died.
