Discotek To Release ‘Nagai Go World’ On Blu-Ray

The 1991 comedy anime ‘CB Chara Nagai Go World’ is coming to Blu-ray DVD for the first time thanks to a release from Discotek Media. The three-part OVA parodies the works of mangaka Go Nagai including Devilman, Mazinger Z, and Violence Jack in a chibi style. The series was written and directed by Umanosuke Iida (Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team: Miller’s Report) and produced by the Japanese animation studio Triangle Staff Corp. (Legend of Crystania: The Chaos Ring).

Discotek plans on releasing the Blu-ray in its original Japanese with English subtitles on September 26, 2023, though it is currently available for pre-order on the Right Stuf Anime website.

They revealed the DVD box art:

Discotek describes the series as follows,

“In the world of Japanese animation, Go Nagai is a legend. As one of the most prolific creators of anime works of all time, Go Nagai has single-handedly created entire genres, as well as pushed boundaries and set new standards for generations of artists and writers to come.

Whether exploring anti-war sentiments through extreme violence with his most popular work, Devilman, or carving through a culture of shame towards sexuality with Harenchi Gakuen, it’s no exaggeration to say that Go Nagai has changed Japanese culture forever. And now, his creations are super deformed! Akira Fudo wakes up one morning to find his body isn’t quite right.

And he isn’t the only one! Alongside Miki and Ryo, Akira will need to find a way to return his body to normal, and along their three episode OVA journey, they’ll meet strange people from strange lands–yet are all too familiar to fans! Catch all the super deformed fun of Go Nagai World in this Blu-ray!”

Go Nagai released a manga adaption in 1992 titled ‘CB Chara Nagai Go World Gekitotsu! Shin Shun Kakushi Geitai Kai.’

Coooooobraaaa! Threezero is making a 1:6 Cobra Commander Figure!

Cobra Commander is the latest Hasbro character to join Threezero’s line of 1:6 scale detailed action figures. Now you can pit the blundering villain against Threezero’s other 1:6 figures like Berserk’s Guts!

Threezero went with the classic blue suit and mirror-masked version of Cobra Commander. It looks great, but there will be a wait until he terrorizes your collection. The 12″ tall inept leader of COBRA won’t ship out until the first quarter of 2024.

“FigZero 1/6 Cobra Commander figure features a highly detailed and meticulously sewn outfit that captures the character’s classic helmeted appearance. From the military jacket and forearm guards to the waist belt with walkie-talkie, tactical belt, military-style pants, boots, and cloak – every piece is meticulously crafted with precision and attention to detail.”

Cobra Commander comes with the following:

  • One (1) pc of Military Jacket
  • One (1) pair of Forearm Guards
  • One (1) pc of Waist belt with Walkie-Talkie
  • One (1) pc of Tactical Belt
  • One (1) pc of Military-style Pants
  • One (1) pair of Boots
  • One (1) pc of Cloak
  • One (1) pc of Cobra Scepter
  • One (1) pc of Knife with case
  • One (1) pc of Pistol with holster
  • Four (4) pairs of interchangeable hands: one (1) pair of Gloved relaxed hands, one (1) pair of Gloved fists, one (1) pair of Cobra Scepter holding gloved hands, one (1) pair of Pistol holding gloved hands

Hasbro’s refusal to let toymakers create a hooded version of Cobra Commander is still in effect. This is unfortunate because that version of the terrorist is just as cool looking as the mirror mask helmet. Sigh. At least it is better than the weird getup we saw the character wear in the first G.I. JOE live-action movie.

His ultimate desire is to see his classmate Anna Yamada’s beautiful face writhing in pain before he ends her life. But this fantasy may never come to fruition, as Ichikawa starts to see an entirely different side to Yamada.

Often seeking refuge in the library, Ichikawa frequently runs into Yamada. It is during these encounters that Ichikawa realizes his model classmate is actually an airhead who can never read the room. As they spend more time together, the boy cannot help but feel not only a sense of endearment toward the very girl he wishes to murder but also a desire to protect her at all costs. Is it possible that this sudden change in Ichikawa’s perspective could lead to something more?”

Finally! Toy Snobs Is Making ‘Face/Off’ Merchandise!

Finally! Toy Snobs Is Making ‘Face/Off’ Merchandise!

Released in 1997, John Woo’s Face/Off pitted Nic Cage and John Travolta against each other in a high-concept thriller. It saw both actors go balls-to-the-wall with their performances, but there was a severe lack of merchandise released since the film hit theatres.

That all changed thanks to Toy Snobs. The company behind oddities like Freddy Krueger and Michael Myers TMNT figures is taking a stab at bringing Face/Off products to the market. However, they’re going about it in an unusual fashion.

First up is the Face/Off Buddy. This double-sided retro-inspired stuffed toy features Nic Cage’s and John Travolta’s likenesses on both sides.

The Face-Off Buddy is priced at $54.99, and pre-orders end today. Production of the odd collectible will start soon, but it will take between 6-8 weeks for these stuffed Sean Archer and Castor Troy toys to ship.

  • Approx 22″
  • Soft Touch Print
  • Polly Filled
  • Woven Tag
  • Double Sided

The second Face/Off product is shorts. Yes. You can get the faces of Nic Cage and John Travolta right on your crotch. The $39.99 piece of clothing isn’t underwear. They appear to be gym shorts complete with a sport zipper pocket and drawstring.

However, Toy Snobs does not list what material is used. Regardless, you’ll be the envy of all the other gym bros if you show up wearing these bad boys.

FACE OFF (SHORTS)

As with the Buddies, the shorts will take between 6-8 weeks to be produced and shipped. Pre-orders end today!

Face/Off‘s significant selling feature was that the main stars swapped literal faces. Cage got to play Travolta’s character, and Travolta got to play Cage’s character. It is just as weird as it sounds, but holy crap, did it work.

What did you think of Face/Off when it hit theatres in 1997? Let us know in the comments section below.

Squidward Will Fight and Dance in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2

Squidward Will Fight and Dance in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2

If you’re a big fan of cartoons on Nickelodeon, then you’ve probably heard about Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl and its upcoming sequel. The original game was heavily inspired by Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. series but included many popular and iconic characters from the line-up of cartoons from Nickelodeon. Although no specific release date for the sequel has been set, fans are getting some looks at new characters being added to the roster. One such inclusion is from Spongebob Squarepants who has quite the attitude.

A recent character spotlight video released by the official Twitter page for Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 focuses on Squidward, the grumpy friend of Spongebob. Squidward’s move list plays up many of the character’s funny moments from the show, including his love for playing the oboe and art. Luckily for everyone, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 will feature voice acting from the start. This means we’ll get to hear all of the sass and attitude from Squidward as he fights opponents during in-game matches.

One Twitter user noted in response to the character highlight for Squidward how the game pays homage to his dance routine in Spongebob Squarepants. The dance is from an episode of the show titled “Culture Shock” that has Squidward dancing for a crowd in hopes of giving them a sense of art and culture but is received very poorly. The steps of the dance are part of different attacks for Squidward in the game, but it’s a nice touch of fan service that is sure to make hardcore Spongebob fans smile. There’s even a fun nod to a Krusty Krab pizza attack that comes straight from an episode of the show where Squidward hilariously delivers it to the face of a customer.

There’s going to be a lot of fan service littered throughout the game across the entire roster. Any major fan of these shows will have a fun time spotting all of the little details that the developers have placed around. Besides Squidward, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 will be adding more new characters as well, including one Jimmy Neutron, along with the respective voice actors that played them on the original shows. Hopefully, more new announcements and reveals for the game will come out soon. As of now, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 is set to release later in 2023 for multiple platforms.

Are you excited to see more news from Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2? Will you be checking out the game when it finally releases? Let us know your thoughts about it in the comment section down below!

Call of Duty Zombies Are Coming to Modern Warfare 3

Call of Duty Zombies Are Coming to Modern Warfare 3

One of the most popular game modes to play for Call of Duty players has been Zombies. Originally added into the series with the release of Call of Duty: World at War, the Zombies mode has been a staple for many entries of the franchise. But Zombies have never been part of the Modern Warfare releases of Call of Duty that have come out in the past. That will be changing with the upcoming release of the reimagined Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 for multiple platforms. Are you ready for Modern Warfare zombies?

The news about Zombies coming to Modern Warfare 3 originated in a Twitter post by YouTuber MrDalekJD, a content creator who makes content mostly focused on Call of Duty titles. He shared a short clip of how texting the word “zombies” to a certain phone number, which appears in the trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, gets a response with a zombie emoji and a special link. When MrDalekJD clicks on the link, it leads to a special sound file that is on the Activision website.

While the sound clip is very short, it’s obvious that the audio is of zombies screaming. For MrDalekJD and many others who saw the clip, it was official confirmation that a Zombies mode will be included in Modern Warfare 3. Besides this one tease, no other official details about Zombies in the game have been released by Activision.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 is the first of the Modern Warfare games to include any mode that involves zombies. Previously, Modern Warfare games have included a Spec-Ops mode that gave players a chance to complete objectives cooperatively. Call of Duty players who wanted to check out Zombies had to play any of the Treyarch-developed games of the series that had Zombies. Specifically, the Call of Duty Black Ops games were what fans needed to play for anything zombie-related. But with so many things crossing over between the games in releases like Warzone 2.0, this was bound to happen at some point. Hopefully, soon, Activision will give fans a quick look and some concrete details about what to expect from Zombies in Modern Warfare 3.

What do you think of the teaser that Zombies mode is coming to Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3? Were you a big fan of Zombies in previous Call of Duty games? What was your favorite version of it? Tell us everything about it in the comment section down below and let your voice be heard!

‘Tearmoon Empire’ Anime Gets A Fall Release Date

The 2019 light novel fantasy series ‘Tearmoon Empire’ from writer Nozomu Mochitsuki and publisher TO Books is getting an anime adaption from the Japanese animation studio Silver Link. After being announced in September 2022, information trickled out, but now there has been an update that assures fans of a release date for the Fall of 2023.

Crunchyroll said on their website, “Mia Luna Tearmoon will officially restart her reign with a fresh head on her shoulders (literally and figuratively) on October 7 at 25:00 JST (effectively October 8 at 1:00) in the Tearmoon Empire anime series…”

The show will be directed by Yūshi Ibe, written by Deko Akao, character designs handled by Mai Otsuka, and Kōji Fujimoto will be composing the music for the anime.

Voice actress Sumire Uesaka (Restaurant to Another World, Overlord) will tackle the role of Princess Mia.

The rest of the cast includes:

  • Shun Horie (The Dangers In My Heart) as Sion Sol Sunkland
  • Tomori Kusunoki (Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online) as Anne Littstein
  • Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba) as Abel Remno
  • Yuichiro Umehara (Fruits Basket the Final) as Ludwig Hewitt

You can watch the trailer below:

Wikipedia describes the synopsis as follows,

“At the collapsed Tearmoon Empire, 20 years old Princess Mia, who was scorned as the selfish princess, was executed through guillotine. Instead of dying, she awakens to find herself back in her 12 year old body. Pleading to avoid the execution at all cost, she decides to rebuild the empire. As such, she would “put her own safety first.” Her supposedly selfish action, mixed with her knowledge from her first life, somehow charms the people around her instead as she works hard to turn her enemies in her first life to be her allies.”

TO Books also publishes a manga version of the series illustrated by Mizu Morino. J-Novel Club releases the light novel series and the manga in the United States.
