Last weekend, Namco Bandai announced the newest installment of the famous music-producing simulation: The iDOLM@STER 2. Interestingly, the sequel is going straight [...]

NIS America’s famous penchant for special editions is serving it well for its upcoming anime releases of Toradora! and Persona: Trinity Soul. The game company-turned-anime company is treating its anime titles like its game releases, putting the entirety of Toradora! and Persona: Trinity Soul in two-disc sets and packaging them with, among other things, full color [...]

The freakish tableau you see above is a diorama created by store employees at Gamers in Akihabara. I’ve always loved the crazy little displays they put up to advertise upcoming products or just mess with people (one of my all-time favorites is repurposing School Days‘ infamous “There’s no one inside” for a reminder about bathroom [...]
