Warning, the topic of this open letter centers around crucial plot points of this film also known as “spoilers”. Read on only if you have seen the film, or have no interest in doing so.
From the Desk of aDam Gardner: Sad Asuka Fanboy
Dear Mr. Evangelion movie,
Thank you for the Asuka nude scene, 18 instances of Asuka fan service and last but certainly not least, the pervy unit 03 test suit which will forever be immortalized in pervy toys and merchandise by our friends in the east who have wisely decided that such a thing is culturally and socially acceptable…
I certainly appreciated that this film was a departure from the source material, while the first film was a less than compelling rehash of existing scenes. While certainly some details can be changed, there are certainly some things which are so fundamentally Evangelion that they should not be touched.
Simple themes like Shinji being a bitch with daddy issues, Rei being cold and boring, Evas fighting angels and… oh that’s right…
Here’s your first look at footage from the new Italian Nintendo DS game Sailor Moon La Luna Splende. Expect a full video review down the line but I just wanted to share this footage so fans can get an idea of what to expect from the game.
The new Italian Sailor Moon Nintendo DS game will be released at the end of this month. The game is now available from pre-order from a number of sites that offer international shipping. For ease of use users may prefer to order from this link at the Italian Amazon which just went up today. Aside from it’s familiar layout Amazon.it is also compatible with existing amazon accounts. The game itself is 31 euros (~$42 US). I just put an order in with express shipping for 20 euros (~$27.50 US), which isn’t cheap. Slower shipping is also available for a slightly less expensive 14 euros (~$19.30). The game is also available from bol.it for 27 euros (~$37.20 US) but shipping seems to be over 30$.
Earlier this week Sailor Moon fan site Moon Chase reported that the game’s release date was moved up to the 21st of March. This reference a press release by TOEI that used that date, though various online stores included the new Amazon link still show a March 31st a release date.
Keep checking out Powet.tv for all your Sailor Moon news as well as information about this game. You’ll surely be sick of hearing about it once I get my hands on it.
I am the danger that fights evil by moonlight! I am the middle schooler that wins love by daylight! I am … Sailor … Duck?
Here’s Drake Malard aka Darkwing Duck from issue #8 of Boom’s recent Darkwing Duck comic, dressed as Sailor Moon! This is hardly the only cameo in this issue, as a seemingly endless number of alternate Darkwing Ducks all appear and it seems any mildly relevant comic or pop culture character from the past several decades makes an appearance. Tron, Sherlock Holmes, Where’s Waldo and more and more and more and … more.
Just check out a few examples from just that frame:
We can only guess as to just how this game will play out but it looks like a classic side scroller kind of game not completely unlike the Sailor Moon S game for the Sega Game Gear.
Sailor Moon vs. Lord Kaspar
We see a “Sailor … vs. Lord Kaspar” screenshot for each of the five girls. Is this a screen showing for a boss battle? Maybe something for a one on one mode? Kaspar would be the Italian name for Kunzite or Malachite as he’s known in the dub. One nice thing seems to be that we shouldn’t need to put up with too much Italian text in this game from what we can see.
Sailor Jupiter fighting Kunzite
Keep reading for the rest of the 16 screenshots from this very promising game.
As part of the current Sailor Moon revival going on in Italy there will be a new Sailor Moon game for the Nintendo DS this Spring! Fans have speculated about this game for some time but some substantial information, including box art, is now available.
Players will be able to play as either of the five girls, Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter or Sailor Venus, with the help of Tuxedo Mask. Naru (known as Molly in the dub) has fallen into a deep sleep caused by magic and the girls must enter her dreams to rescue her. Players will go through three worlds, “Jewel Palace”, “Mystery Castle” and “Flower Garden”, each of which will have 20 to 30 stages. Naru is certainly no stranger to sleep. She spends a good part of the first season being put to sleep by one enemy or another.
I wish this was a joke. At this point, I’m not sure what to believe, but basically this trailer for a new Sailor Moon show in Hong Kong popped up on YouTube today. I had not heard anything about this show until then. In an attempt to verify this was real I went to the web site listed at the end of the commercial to check out their schedule. Checking every day at 6 I found that Friday, August 13th, at 6pm is listed “?????” or, as that translates to English, Sailor Moon. The show is not listed as having played this past Friday, so it looks like this Friday will be the premiere!
It just looks so horrible. The girl playing Sailor Mars is completely obese. The actresses appear to change when transforming. I wonder is this even an official show or some kind of cheap knockoff? The music in the video is from the Sailor Moon anime, but that doesn’t mean much. After such an amazing live action Japanese show a few years a back a show would have to be pretty amazing to top it, and this show does not appear to be at any risk of doing that.
Powet.tv will be keeping you posted on more information about this horrible looking show as it becomes available. Leave a comment and let us know if you think this show will be bad, horrible or downright unwatchable.

I ain’t talking about no damn laundry soap. Bleach is a very popular anime and manga series created by Tite Kubo. It debuted in America is 2006 and is currently shown Saturday nights on Cartoon Network’s late night Adult Swim programming block. It can best be described as Ghostbusters and X-men meet Gi-Joe and Samurai Showdown. It enjoys a nice following, particularly amongst fansubbers and bittorrent pirates, almost becoming as iconic of an anime as Sailor Moon, Gundam, or Naruto. This article deals with the anime, although most of it is adopted from the manga. The series has been on hiatus since last November, and re-runs have been shown in its Saturday night time slot since then. New episodes are set to premiere August 28th. [Read the rest of this entry…]
