Funimation Announces Anime Renewals Including ‘The Case Study of Vanitas’

The Sony anime streaming service Funimation made a slew of announcements regarding the future of several shows that they have picked up. On their website, they told viewers that 2022 will see the return of vampire quest ‘The Case Study of Vanitas,’ sports drama ‘Yowamushi Pedal,’ and action-adventure ‘Golden Kamuy.’
Funimation explained that Part 2 of ‘The Case Study of Vanitas’ is set to premiere on January 14, 2022.


“It’s a wonderful morning but the night is calling, as we’ve just caught word that we’ll be able to sink our teeth into The Case Study of Vanitas Part 2 on January 14 next year,” they said. “The much-anticipated sequel to the hit vampire anime was teased at the end of the first part’s finale in September, previewing the addition of Rie Kugimiya (FAIRY TAIL) as the mysterious Chloé.”
‘Yowamushi Pedal’ is renewed for a fifth season titled ‘Yowamushi Pedal: Limit Break’ will hit the streaming service in the Fall.


“2022 is going to be a difficult climb, but there’s already something exciting waiting for us on the other side: Yowamushi Pedal: Limit Break, a fifth season of the fan-favorite cycling anime, has just been announced for October 2022,” they said.
The historical adventure ‘Golden Kamuy’ is officially returning for a fourth season, which also got a teaser.

“Brain’s Base (To Your Eternity) is taking over production on the new season, with Shizutaka Sugahara and Takumi Yamakawa on board as chief director and character designer, respectively, and Noboru Takagi returning for series composition,” Funimation added.
The synopsis is as follows, “Separated from Sugimoto, Asirpa now travels toward the Russian border, focused on discovering more about her and her father’s involvement with the coded tattoos. But Sugimoto is determined to find and protect Asirpa! Along the way, he’ll discover new people, new cultures rich with history, and an unforgiving terrain. Will Sugimoto and Asirpa survive their journeys and reunite?”

Why?! Garfield Is Coming To Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl … For Free

Why?! Garfield Is Coming To Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl … For Free

Garfield. Oh, genuinely, I’m not too fond of that lazy cat. Yet he keeps showing up in my news feed like a bad penny. A nasty, chubby, lasagna-obsessed penny. First, we learned that the suction cup plushie Garfield trend was coming back. Now it has been revealed that the orange cat who hates Mondays is being included in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl … for free.
The news came down from the fighting game’s official Twitter account. Yup. Garfield will be included as a free bit of DLC on December 9th. The game is available on Playstation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, and Steam.



 
The game appears to be sitting in the 60-70 range on Metacritic between the multiple consoles. Looking at the gameplay, it is very reminiscent of Super Smash Brothers. I mean, there’s more than just a passing resemblance. But, to give it credit, the reviews point to a pretty solid experience where classic and new Nickelodeon characters and Viacom-acquired IPs get to beat the crap out of each other.
For those of us who grew up with Nicktoons in the early and mid-1990s, it’s a fun little flashback. Given that Nick now has so many IPs under its belt, the roster should be pretty robust in the coming year.
According to PCGamer, the lineup of characters at the title’s launch were as follows:

  • Aang (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
  • April O’Neil (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
  • CatDog (CatDog)
  • Danny Phantom (Danny Phantom)
  • Helga (Hey Arnold!)
  • Korra (The Legend of Korra)
  • Leonardo (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
  • Lincoln Loud (The Loud House)
  • Lucy Loud (The Loud House)
  • Michelangelo (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
  • Nigel Thornberry (The Wild Thornberrys)
  • Oblina (Aahh!! Real Monsters)
  • Patrick Star (SpongeBob SquarePants)
  • Powdered Toast Man (Ren & Stimpy)
  • Ren Höek (Ren & Stimpy)
  • Reptar (Rugrats)
  • Sandy Cheeks (SpongeBob SquarePants)
  • SpongeBob SquarePants (SpongeBob SquarePants)
  • Stimpy J. Cat (Ren & Stimpy)
  • Zim (Invader Zim)

Note that April, Mikey, and Leo are based on the 1987 TMNT animated series and not on the newer Nick cartoons.
Since the game launched in October, no new characters have been added. It’s just too bad they had to sour it with Garfield. F’ing Garfield. What’s next? Nermal, too? Ahhhh!
Have you played the cartoony fighting game? If so, let us know what you think about it in the comments.

HasLab’s Rancor Fails While The G.I. Joe Skystriker Sails To Victory

HasLab’s Rancor Fails While The G.I. Joe Skystriker Sails To Victory

Hasbro’s Star Wars Black Series Rancor failed to gain enough backers this week and has since vanished from HasLab’s landing page. We covered the struggling crowdfunding project over at Pirates and Princesses. Between the dismal stretch goal unlockables and the overall appearance of Jabba’s pet, it’s no wonder it flopped.
The G.I. Joe Skystriker campaign launched around the same time, and for a while, it looked like the combat jet wasn’t going to make its goal either. When I wrote about the Cobra Commander takeover of the project a couple of days ago, there were still more than 3k backers needed.
As of today, the Skystriker has been fully funded with six hours left. The Skystriker currently sits at 10,994 backers. Earlier today, it had just crossed the 10k mark. There are three tiers still left to unlock when it comes to stretch goals. It is probably safe to say that the 13k, 16k, and 18k levels won’t be reached within this short period, but you never know.
I attribute this considerable spike coming from collectors who just freed up $350 from the sunken Rancor campaign. The Skystriker is only $230, and the money is only taken out if the number of backers is met. So, it would make sense for collectors to use that newly liberated cash to go right back into another collectible.
Whether the stretch goals are reached or not, Hasbro is delivering way more with the base toy than with the Rancor. The vehicle is fully equipped with missiles, firing effects, a stand, two figures, ejecting parachute seats, and of course, the newly added Cobra figures.
If all three extra funding goals are met, you’ll get an exclusive variant of Scarlett in her flight suit, Rip Cord, and two pit crew figures. Nothing too special. At least Hasbro isn’t locking a necessary accessory behind that wall as they did with the hose for the Spengler Proton Pack…

William Shatner’s Journey Into Space Recounted In New Documentary

William Shatner’s Journey Into Space Recounted In New Documentary

“Space, the final frontier.”
William Shatner recited those lines as his iconic character Captain James T. Kirk for the hit science fiction series ‘Star Trek.’ At the age of 90, the actor was able to experience a taste of that journey on his own when he traveled with Blue Origin on a ride into space. Now, Amazon announced that their streaming service Prime Video will release ‘Shatner in Space,’ a documentary that recounts the trip.
“Prime Video and William Shatner today announced that Shatner in Space, a one-hour special, will premiere on Prime Video on Wednesday, December 15,” Amazon said in a press release. “The announcement was first made by Mr. Shatner during a virtual panel for CCXP Worlds, the virtual version of the world’s largest fan convention in São Paulo, Brazil.”
They continued, “The special details the events before, during, and after Shatner’s life-changing flight—which made him the oldest person to ever travel to the cosmos—and the growing friendship between the Star Trek icon and Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos, whose dreams of space travel, like many, were inspired by the original Star Trek series.”
William Shatner shared his own thoughts about the Blue Origin trip.
“My time in space was the most profound experience I could have ever imagined,” the ‘Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan’ actor said. “This special documenting my journey gives a dramatic view of that experience, and my hope is that it inspires the world to see we must go to space to save Earth.”
The special will be produced by Amazon Studios, Blue Origin, Film 45, Jason Ehrlich Productions, and Bright Spot Content.
William Shatner portrayed Captain Kirk for three seasons of ‘Star Trek’ as well as stared in seven films within the franchise. He would also direct the 1989 film ‘Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.’

‘Pokemon: Black And White’ Finds New Streaming Home On Tubi

Want to catch some Pokemon? Or at least follow along as Ash Ketchum and his friend Pikachu continue their journey to become Pokemon Masters? Tubi made the announcement that three full seasons of ‘Pokemon: The Series’ have landed on the streaming service. ‘Pokemon: Black and White’, as well as its follow-up seasons, have been uploaded, totalling 150 episodes of the series.
“Tubi treats its viewers to three full seasons of the globally popular Pokémon animated series,” Tubi said in a press release. “‘Pokémon: Black and White’ (Season 14), ‘Pokémon: BW Rival Destinies’ (Season 15), and ‘Pokémon: BW Adventures in Unova and Beyond’ (Season 16) – comprising nearly 150 episodes – are now available on FOX Entertainment’s free streaming service. The iconic animated television series premiered more than 20 years ago and chronicles the fantastic adventures of Ash and his Pikachu, alongside their many friends and Pokémon companions. “Pokémon the Series” has taken viewers to a variety of different regions, islands, cities and towns in the Pokémon world.”
This saga follows Ash (Sarah Natochenny) and his companions as they battle Team Rocket and other adversaries in the region of Unova. Along the way, they encounter new types of Pokemon, UFOs, and stiff competition at the gyms.
Here is an official clip from ‘Pokémon: BW Rival Destinies’:

Tubi Chief Content Officer Adam Lewinson expressed his enthusiasm for the acquisition.
“The addition of Pokémon animation to Tubi Kids demonstrates our commitment to expanding our robust library of iconic kids properties and providing free premium content for all families,” he said. “We’re thrilled that Pokémon fans can now follow memorable adventures with Ash and his Pikachu on Tubi.”
The synopsis for ‘Pokemon: Black and White’ is described as follows: “When Ash and his mother accompany Professor Oak to the distant Unova region, Ash discovers Pokémon that he’s never seen before… and that he can’t wait to catch! He may have Pikachu at his side together with new friends Iris and Cilan, but he’ll still need plenty of new Pokémon on his team if he wants to challenge Unova’s expert Gym Leaders. His quest to become a Pokémon Master just got even tougher!”

The Spengler Special Is Unlocked At HasLab’s Proton Pack Campaign!

The Spengler Special Is Unlocked At HasLab’s Proton Pack Campaign!

Hasbro’s Spengler Proton Pack crowdfunding campaign has smashed through three or the four stretch goals. There are still six days left for the project to gain over 2,500 more backers to reach the final unlockable tier.
At this point, we’re getting a hose, Mini-Pufts, and now the Spengler Special tier. So what’s in this third unlocked level? Well, it’s probably the most underwhelming part of this whole thing. It’s a notebook and stickers. Yup. For reaching 13k backers, we’re getting what looks like something you’d find at the checkout line of your local Barnes & Noble.

Hasbro

This stretch goal really slaps! That’s right, unlock the exclusive Spengler Special and get a sheet of Ghostbusters-themed decals to slap on your pack, your notebooks, or whatever else you want to have a little eerie flair! We want you to be able to bust in style while expressing yourself. And lastly, we want to make sure you all know exactly how to bust ghosts, and that’s why we’ve decided to include Egon Spengler’s 16-page notebook. Featuring schematics, handwritten notes, and personal anecdotes, this exclusive notebook is a must-have for any card-carrying Ghostbusters fan! Electric.

I’m disappointed with the Class III unlockables. This tier should have been something more beneficial for the proton pack. You know, like an actual ALICE pack! Those packs range between $50-$100 but can be obtained in bulk for even less. Why not include those?
The journal and stickers feel like throwaway items. If Hasbro wanted to include paper goods, why not replicas of Egon’s various degrees? Maybe a copy of Tobin’s Spirit Guide? Hell, even a scaled replica of Muncher would have been more appealing than this.
Think about where this stretch goal sits in the grand scheme of things. It’s one tier below the grand finale that is the custom stand for the pack. So how do a 16-page journal and some stickers even build up to that? It’s such a weird choice.
Then again, when we see how the Rancor campaign rolled out, I shouldn’t be that surprised with mediocre unlockables.

Three New ALIENS Pulse Rifle Replicas Coming Soon

Three New ALIENS Pulse Rifle Replicas Coming Soon

ALIENS wasn’t only a fantastic sequel, but it also brought with it a slew of memorable props. The power loader, the APC, the smartgun, the dropship, the motion detector, and of course, the M41A pulse rifle. Each would make for a great display piece, but they only show up every few years for sale. Luckily today, you can choose from not one but three different versions of the famous colonial marine weapon.
HCG is bringing three versions of the M41A to market. The Brown Bess, Weathered Brown Bess, and the standard olive drab pulse rifle. Each comes with the same features: they’re all 5lbs, made of polystone, and have a display base. That’s it. No thrills, frills, or working ammo counter. It’s not even clear if the ammo counter is illuminated.
Each pulse rifle is priced at $605. The standard version is due out this month, while the Bess variants will be coming during the first quarter of 2022.

I was lucky enough to handle one of the original “hero” M41A pulse rifles many years ago. They were indeed heavy. Having a lighter version for display purposes and cosplay would be great for those who don’t want to undertake the task of building one from a kit.
Over the years, many different companies have taken turns producing either stunt replicas, airsoft replicas, and even Hasbro is making a Nerf variant. Some of these replicas were great, while others turned out to be garbage.
What worries me is that these three new entries are being made by Hollywood Collectibles. A friend of mine bought the company’s replica ghost trap from Ghostbusters. It was priced almost four times more than the older Matty Collector replica and had zero features. It wasn’t exactly worth the price admission in comparison.
I hope HCG has improved its craftsmanship since then.
What do you think of the stunt pulse rifles? Worth $600, or are the DIY kits a better deal? Let us know in the comments section.
