So in-line with Alter's recent release of their 1/7 Fate Testarossa Movie Version PVC Figure, COSPA was quick to also put out their own version. Though less advertised, COSPA's version is definitely something you do not want to miss. This figure by COSPA has it’s advantages over the Alter release, as the entire figure is not suspended in the air. Though lacking in the awesome pose, Fate’s cape is still something to behold. The facial expression is a lot more serene as Fate is captured in a non-action scene.

Mankind Will Be Replaced…
Torrance CA (July 1, 2010) Aksys Games, a publisher of interactive entertainment products, announces an epic tale: Blazing Souls Accelate for the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system. Blazing Souls Accelate!
It has been years since a war called the Seven Year War ended and peace finally arrived in the land.
The story begins with Zero the protagonist making his living as an independent contractor. One day he is investigating a certain site. It is there that he finds a mysterious stone infused with a powerful magic known as the Core Elemental. As he takes on more and more jobs to investigate other locations, he discovers more and more Core Elemental stones. On his travels, he begins to encounter the Human Genomes—new creatures created by God to replace mankind.
One thirsts for power.
One desires only the eradication of mankind.
And one hopes to retrieve what he has lost.
To get what they desire, each one appears before our protagonist. Through his battles against the Human Genomes, our protagonist begins to learn the truth about the secret of his birth, and before long finds himself at the very place where he was born…
Finally, he will learn the truth of his existence…
Accelate Your Soul!
Battles full of strategic characteristics
* Actions such as Chain, Charge, Hold, Original Skill, Chain Skill, Special Chain Skill, Break, Break Arts and Overkill are available during the battle!
* Position your forces on the battlefield and wait for the right moment to string together massive combo attacks using multiple party members—both in melee and at range!
Abundant Item Creations and Monster Capturing
* Blazing Souls gives the player plenty of fun elements like creating over 200 different items and skills! Players are given the ability to capture monsters and have them placed within the party.
New Concepts in Strategy RPGs

Torrance, CA (July 1, 2010) - Aksys Games, a publisher of interactive entertainment products, announces the horror visual novel, Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors, for the Nintendo DS®.
For three years running, Anime Expo has taken place in the Los Angeles Convention Center. It would seem that AX would get in the groove of things and host the most successful convention yet. Instead, this year was marred by changes in management, hikes in fees for merchants, and almost an overload of guests. The result was disorganization and inconsistency in almost every possible event, an exhibit hall that was only about half the size of Anime Expo 2008’s, and problematic scheduling that forced attendees to choose between different guests they wanted to see.
There were still positives to this year’s Anime Expo, though. While many directors and character designers appeared last year, the theme this year was certainly idols and voice actors. From the idol group AKB48 to Macross Frontier stars Megumi Nakajima and May’n to veteran voice actor Yui Horie and Eri Kitamura, AX 2010 had something to satisfy every fanboy.
From panel coverage to exclusive interviews, read on for The-O Network’s coverage of Anime Expo 2010!
Stay tuned in the coming week as we add more content!
Anime Expo 2010 was over before I knew it! And with the conclusion of a convention, I wanted to share my loot to everyone. Probably not as impressive as some people, but I think I got some good stuff. Luckily all of the items fit in one image, which is included inside. As you can see, it's all sketches from various artists! From the left, we have Hitagi Senjougahara by Akio Watanabe, Nanael by Kuuchuu Yousai, Kirari Shiino by Shinji Katakura, and Mitsuki Hayase by Himukai Kyousuke. Thanks for viewing!? If you attended Anime Expo, show me your loot in the comments

Davis FanMega Super J-Rock Band to Hold Music Video Recording Event the Evening of
July 1, 2010 at Club Nokia Immediately Following the Yoshiki Foundation
Launch Party
Los Angeles, CA and Tokyo, Japan (June 24, 2010) ‹ Fans of X JAPAN, are in
for a once in a lifetime treat, will have the opportunity to ³X-perience²
the power and magic of the legendary J-Rock super-band in the filming of the

L.A. Live on the evening of July 1, 2010 immediately following the Yoshiki
Foundation launch party.
Fans are encouraged to ³dress to impress² as the entire band will take over
the famous Club Nokia venue and ³rock the house²!
Calling X Japan the most successful rock band in Japan is not a statement
made lightly. X Japan has sold more than 30-million albums, singles and
videos, headlined and sold out Japan's 55,000-seat Tokyo Dome 18 times - so
far - and has started playing to tens of thousands of fans outside of Japan.
The band's look and sound sparked a global interest in Japanese
entertainment, especially with the Japanese cultural rock phenomenon,
"Visual-Kei," a movement X Japan pioneered that went on to become a catalyst
for today's worldwide Anime craze.
Yoshiki, the band's leader/songwriter/drummer and classically-trained
pianist, has been referred to by his first name only throughout his
professional career, and is arguably Asia's most influential musical artist
and biggest rock icon. According to one industry insider, "Yoshiki is to
Japan what Bono is to the UK." The members of X Japan include Yoshiki, Toshi
(vocals), Pata (guitarist), Heath (bass), and Sugizo (guitar).

Angel Beats! has seen it's fair share of Nendoroid Petit figures showing up in various magazines. The August 2010 issue of Dengeki G's magazine comes with a Nendoroid Petit Tenshi figure. The G's Festival Deluxe Vol. 06 magazine (Angel Beats! Edition) came with a Yuri Nendoroid Petit figure. But now, finally and officially, Good Smile Company has opened reservations for their first Nendoroid Petit Angel Beats! Set. This is the first set of possibly three total. This set features Yuri, Shiina and Yusa. An odd choice for combination, but none-the-less, still very cute.
