The entertainment news source Deadline reported on Monday that actor Tom Cruise (Top Gun, Mission Impossible, The Last Samurai) is attached to the film adaptation of Chōhei Kambayashi's Yukikaze science-fiction novels. The novels already inspired a 2002-2005 video anime series from the studio Gonzo.

In Kambayashi's story, the elite Special Air Force wages a secret war against aliens that unsuccessfully invaded Earth through a dimensional portal over Antarctica 33 years ago. Second Lieutenant Rei Fukai flies lonely yet danger-fraught reconnaissance missions over the aliens' home planet with his wingmate, the sentient Sylphid fighter.

Warner Bros. acquired the rights to adapt the story, and it will also finance and distribute the project. 3 Arts' Erwin Stoff and Tom Lassally (All You Need Is Kill) are producing the film.

Kambayashi wrote two Yukikaze novels: 1984's original Sentō Yōsei Yukikaze novel and 1999's Good Luck Sentō Yōsei Yukikaze. Kanbayashi revised part of his original novel to flow better with its followup, and Hayakawa Publishing released the revised version under the name Sentō Yōsei Yukikaze Kai in 2002. The attendees of the Japan Science Fiction Convention gave Seiun Awards to both novels.

Viz Media publishes the original story in North America. Bandai Entertainment released the anime on DVD in North America from 2004 to 2006, and the related Honneamise label released the entire series on Blu-ray Disc in 2008.

Cruise has been shooting a film adaptation of another science-fiction text novel published by Viz Media, Hiroshi Sakurazaka's All You Need Is Kill, with director Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity, Mr. and Mrs. Smith). Cruise's latest science-fiction film, Oblivion, opened with US$61 million overseas this past weekend.

So I just watched the Blood C movie. What the fuck was I thinking? Someone reach through the internets and slap me. It was slightly better than the TV show, but that's like saying a pile of shit is slightly better than another pile of shit...

It had nude scenes, good enough!

Saya tits do not make up for all of the other terrible that Blood C is composed of.

Yeah, no. Think I'll try to find the Anime Legends ver still.

[Pharaun]

Damn, that Blu-Ray set has some pretty nice stuff, but there's noway I'm paying $500 for all that. Maaaaaaaaaaaybe $200 and that's pushing it.

[xopher]

the extra stuff is all unsubbed too. It's just a direct import of the JP blurays. We'll never get true NA blurays.

[Gulkeeva]

Oh, looks like hunter X hunter will be doing the ant ark of the storyline. Considering the way the anime has been going, it'll be one of the more action all out fighting arks most likely.

also, looks like the several year long "mystery" has finally been solved about hunter X hunter... so many were guessing what it could be... but finally, with the recent episode, we have answers!

I know there were some people in here who enjoyed AKB0048 to some extent. I just wanted to note that AKB48 (plus its sister groups) are doing a large concert at Nippon Budokan on Sun the 28th at 17:30 (japan time) and it will be streamed live on youtube. This is apparently brought to us by Youtube Music Week (Japanese), although the streaming will likely be through AKB's official Youtube channel.

It's possible that the OP/ED themes of either 0048 season will be performed. A lot of the songs used in the series (RIVER, Beginner, Aitakatta etc) have a high chance of being performed. It'll also just be a fun live streaming event I'm sure, if anyone is interested.

4:30 AM EDT. I'd like to check it out, but that's pretty early to get up for a YouTube stream.

[Silenka]

I'm doing it lol XD Then again, I'm obsessed so it's okay. And I have work after that...

I guess if you consider 4:30 am early to wake up then it's pretty bad. If you normally wake up around 6 - 7 anyway it's not terrible.

I'm usually up for work around 6:30, but that's M-F! I should probably try to be up earlier tomorrow to work on some other stuff anyway, so maybe I'll give it a go.

[Xanthe]

Watched it, but had to leave at 7 before the encore to run projection for church. I caught 3, maybe 4 songs that featured in the anime, none of them were the NO NAME pieces.

[Silenka]

Yeah, they didn't do the NO NAME stuff. Possibly because Hata Sawako (Suzuko), Yagami Kumi (Sonata) and Nakaya Sayaka (Orine) all graduated from the group recently =/ I thought there might still be a chance that they would do it as a shuffle or something though, but no dice. Was still an awesome performance though, with a great setlist.
