Blaue Rosen, Volume 4…

Thursday, February 28th, 2008


At first when i saw the cover, it didn’t state that the content is not suitable for children hence I “innocently” thought that this volume of the manga should not have been as bad as volume 3 with all the skin showing and such…

Boy, I am soo wrong…

Comic to Film with Barry Levine

Thursday, January 24th, 2008


A very interesting event have passed me without me knowing… sad, even when this is taking place in Singapore Polytechnic’s MLT1

But luckily for me, over at The Fool’s Progress, one have written a very nicely done article about what have happened.

He has also showed us many of the new IP by Imaginary Friends Studio, and Radical Comics.

What I like most is Caliber and Freedom Formula(not the Nisim Noodle one), so cool!

The best part is that MADHOUSE is going to be animating Freedom Formula’s prequel and Caliber is going to be turned in a movie directed by John Woo!
