Kirsten Dunst wore a very anime outfit and danced around Tokyo’s Akihabara district singing “Turning Japanese” by the Vapors. The music video, called “Akihabara Majokko Princess”, was directed by McG (Charlie’s Angels, Terminator Salvation) as part of Takashi Murakami’s “Pop Life” exhibit, displayed at London’s Tate Gallery last month.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the mecha anime/manga/toy/video game franchise, this 18-meter-tall (59-foot-tall) RX-78 has been erected.

Part of the “Mobile Suit Gundam 30th Anniversary Project,” the structure in Odaiba’s Shiokaze Park will stay up for only two months and be built from fiberglass-reinforced plastic over a steel frame and coated in a layer of awesomeoness.

Fifty points on the Gundam statue will emit light, and mist will shoot out of 14 different points on the statue. The 1/1 scale Gundam boasts a moveable head and a continuous stream of oh-man-this-is-so-damn-cool.

This AMV features the song Code Monkey by Jonathan Coulton, using footage from the anime Black Heaven.

It was a finalist at Anime Expo 2007 AMV Contest.
At Animazement 2007 it won Best in Show.
I’ve heard it did well at Dragoncon 2007

Others have asked about the anime, Legend of Black Heaven. This anime is about a man who was in a rock band in his younger days, but they broke up as the members grew up and got married. Years later, in a dead end job and dull marriage, he’s approached by aliens who want him to play his music to save them…

Третий фильм 2006 года, основанный на Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex адаптации манги Ghost in the Shell 2.

Фильм вполне интересный, качественный и сюжет тоже более менее не прозрачный. Если первый фильм был (как бы) про главную героиню – Motoko Kusanagi, а второй про хмурого здоровяка, вечно прикрывающего её, Batou, то третий фильм про второго по важности, так скажем, персонажа мужского пола – Togus-у. По крайней мере мне так показалось.. Может так оно и есть, не вдавался в описания фильмов. По моему, о ком больше всего повествуется и кто больше других, скажем так, психологически “взрослеет” – о том и фильм. Вот.

Из этих трех фильмов, по моему, самый лучший (или просто любимый) – это, все таки, второй “Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence” про здоровяка Batou Наверно потому что я больше всего симпатизирую ему, да и он (фильм) более зрелещный и пронизанный очень даже интересной философией

Если надо: сцылко на Ghost In The Shell – Solid State Society Dual Audio (Eng/Jap with subs) .torrent

After two years from the TV series that started all, a completely new and all-original chapter is about to emerge: Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex – Solid State Society. A.D. 2034. It has been two years since Motoko Kusanagi left Section 9. Togusa is now the new leader of the team, that has considerably increased its appointed personnel. The expanded new Section 9 confronts a rash of complicated incidents, and investigations reveal that an ultra-wizard hacker named the Puppeteer is behind the entire series of events. In the midst of all, Batou, who was stalking the case on a separate track, encounters Motoko. She goes away after saying, “Stay away from the Solid State Society.” Batou is left with a doubt in his mind. Could Motoko be the the Puppeteer? The series of intriguing incidents that Section 9 faces gradually link together almost artistically. Who is the Puppeteer? What will happen to Batou’s relationship with Motoko? What is the full truth behind this carefully planned perfect crime? And what will the outcome be? Mysteries surround the Solid State Society… © Production I.G Official Solid State Society website
