OBJECTION! An anime series based on Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is in the works. The series is on track for an April 2016 première. I have to wonder, though, if the translators will turn rice balls into hamburgers in the dub…?

More Rin-Ne on the way. NHK announced that Rin-Ne will get a second season next year.

Sie sind das Essen und Wir sind die Jaeger! Attack on Titan fans who are curious about the upcoming PlayStation game are in luck! Koei Tecmo showed eight minutes of footage from the title at Tokyo Game Show.

Weekly Fun Stuff!

When Final Fantasy VII hit the market in 1997, it quickly became the darling of RPG fans across the globe. It’s an iconic title, that defined a generation of gamers. Nowadays, though, the spectre of age has crept in. The character models are a bit blocky, the dialogue is a bit cheesy, and there are numerous bits and pieces that seem a bit out-of-place in today’s gaming industry.

The folks at Team Four Star, who made their mark with the fan-favorite “Abridged” series, have set their sights on the classic game. Final Fantasy VII Machinabridged is an irreverent take on the world, that’s dripping with the quirky humor that made Team Four Star such an endearing force in the fan community today.
