We all know Shinji Aramaki's work on Appleseed. We know what he can do. Now Sony Pictures has announced that they are producing the new Starship Troopers: Invasion film with the talented Aramaki as director. Joining Aramaki is Flint Dille as the lead writer, Hidetaki Tenjin as the artist and Joseph Chou is producing the whole thing.

Sony Productions has released this description of the plot:

A distant Federation outpost Fort Casey comes under attack by bugs. The team on the fast attack ship Alesia is assigned to help the Starship John A. Warden stationed in Fort Casey evacuate along with the survivors and bring military intelligence safely back to Earth. Carl Jenkins, now ministry of Paranormal Warfare, takes the starship on a clandestine mission before its rendezvous with the Alesia and goes missing in the nebula. Now, the battle-hardened troopers are charged with a rescue mission that may lead to a much more sinister consequence than they ever could have imagined....

Unfortunately there are no great details about this production yet but we'll be sure to keep you in the know.

Starship Troopers the animated cartoon was something I grew up with as a kid so this is something I can't help but dance around in my chair for.

Toaru Inryo no Campaign

The convenience store chain in Japan known as LAWSON have released the details of the second phase of their new campaign. Toaru Inryo no Campaign (A Certain Beferage Campaign) A giveaway campaign all based around Toaru Majutsu no Index and Toaru Kagaku no Railgun.

From the 11th of October to the 24th select Asahi beverages will hold special entry codes. The customers that purchased these wil be able to enter these codes in order to earn points the go towards some awesome prizes.

Each prize 'block' is separated alphebetically. A being the top prize & G being the lowest.

10 Lucky winners will receive this awesome and adorable 'Index Biting Hat' and a ticket to a prize presentation with Index's voice actress, Yuka Iguchi. Warning, the hat may cause headaches of cuteness.

10 lucky sons of barcodes will get a Misaka Mikoto's Gekota Pajamas to wear. (J-Large Size.) They'll also receive an invitation to a similar prize presentation with Mikoto's voice actress, Rina Satou. Now is it just me that is seething with jealousy and rage at the lucky ones who win this?

Next up 50 winners get some Originally designed curtains using the image that the campaign uses. So now those 50 people can show their neighbours how nerdy they are without even inviting them in the house!

And in the D-Trunks is 1,000 Originally illustrated pillows with the characters Kanzaki and Accelerator. Just think, you'll either be resting your head on a sexy katana wielding heroine in a maid costume or a homicidal meta human with a loli-complex. Sounds like a Win-Win to me.

Next up are 200 500-Yen Toaru Prepaid Cards holding the series' Magic Sect and Judgment logos. I can't think of anything funny to say about these. . .

Almost at the end now is 5,000 Sets of Five Clear Files displaying character art of Index & Touma, Misaka & Kuroko, Accelerator & Last Order, Itsuwa & finally Kaori Kanzaki. (100 of each.) Wait a second . . . aren't these better than the previous prize?

And to finish off the block prizes is 5,000 Gokota Masks. Now I don't know about you but an electrified girl wearing a frog masks does everything for me.

And finally is a prize reserved only for Ponta Cardmembers only; 100 Original Prepaid Cards holding the campaign image.

Okay so all I have to do is wait until the campaign is over, hit up ebay and convince my girlfriend that I got these pyjamas for her because they looked cute. Not for any personal reasons at all.

. . .

Too far?

Woman Beaten by a Man She Met at a Con
Written by Matt Dixon

Sir Wilfred Camaligan was arrested on Friday on the charge of holding a woman captive after they'd moved in together in July. The prosecutors say that the two met at an anime convention back in June. Camaligan was denied bail and is now facing charges for attempted murder, kidnapping and aggravated domestic battery.

Police have released to the public that Camiligan and the 20-year-old woman had correspondance over Facebook and agreed to meet at an anime convention in June. They've also said that Camaligan kept the woman captive for two months after they'd moved in together in July.

Police and prosecutors have claimed some of the horrific tortures Camaligan inflicted on the women were beatings, cutting an "X" into her chest and forcing her to kneel on rice while cutting herself. The woman told police Camaligan often choked her until she lost consciousness. On one Friday the woman was allowed to leave the house on an arrend, she contacted her Mother on a borrowed mobile and her Mother then contacted the police.

The scars still remain as the woman now has hearing loss in one ear and a fractured shoulder blade.

With MCM in London only a month away we at Otaku, No Video can only warn you to be careful. Internet friends, no matter how long you'e known them, can never be trusted on the first meeting.
