Fangirl Update: Week of 8/30 - 9/5--Solid Smiia

I feel that we should all take a moment to appreciate the fantastic timing with Monster Girls having a Metal Gear parody the same day the final game is released.

Kojima Says Goodbye to Metal Gear. A good watch if you have any fondness for the franchise. Bring tissues.

Production I.G. Aquires FLCL Rights, Mentions Remake. This news received immediate backlash from fans who consider FLCL a "masterpiece" the way it is. I'm reserving judgement until when/if the remake is released.

Weekly Shounen Jump and Kodansha Manga Titles Now Available on Comixology! This is great news for people who use the service, as well as for making manga more widely available!

Hiroshi Kamiya Becomes the First Male VA to Make the Oricon Top Three! I've been a fan of Kamiya for a long time, so I'm always happy to hear good news about his career!

Support the Barefoot Gen Kickstarter! By the time this post goes up, there will be about three days left for this Kickstarter. Consider supporting this great cause to bring this manga to schools and libraries!

Nendoroid Bootleg Alert: Pokemon Trainer Red. If you're in the market for this Nendoroid, watch out for this bootleg! And it's not just a question of price: bootlegs use subpar materials that may be hazardous, and your money may be supporting crime! Do not buy!

But here is something you can buy: Fundoshi for your Nendoroids! This was an April Fools product, but fan demand made it a reality! If you ever wanted traditional Japanese underwear for your figures, now's your chance!

This week on Rokka, the bunny princess has snapped!
1) Rokka -Braves of the Six Flowers-My Anime Power Ranking List this week:
