RECOMMENDABLE!

-Figure this would be a good time to recommend flash artist Skaijo. She's a huge Yotsuba fan that makes some pretty funny Yotsuba flash animations. Her recent fan work is a series called "Great Moments in Yotsuba Manga" where she takes random panels, has someone read them quite over the top and extravagantly , but yet accurately portrays how wonderfully wacky it is. Also, Metal Gear Yotsuba. I didn't find this funny the first time I watched it, but after reading a lot of the manga, I've enjoyed it quite extensively. The voices have a very South Park-ish sound to them.

-Really stylish Lupin III parody with Metal Gear here.

-Some news from Anime Central. Stuff includes bits from Funimation and Bandai Enterainment. Including a Girl Who Leapt Through Time Collectors Edition (DO WANT), Ghost in the Shell, and Funimation's recent acquisitions.

-New Screens and Art from the new Tatsunoko vs Capcom here. There's a lot of talk on what systems this will be on. We won't really know until what kind of ARCADE board it's on. A couple of recent, forgettable licensed games they did were on the System 256 which would lead to easy PS2 ports. However SF4 is on the Type X2 which is pretty much on the Next Gen end of things. Some people think the graphics aren't quite as impressive or "Next Gen" looking enough for PS3. But if it does, remember the PS3 is Region Free. However, maybe it's just me, but Capcom USA seems to hint that they're willing to try to get over all the licensing hurdles and bring it out over here.
