Wow, I didn’t think it had been that long since I’ve done
one of these updates (at least since the Blogs Anniversary in March).
So, felt it was a little overdue to give you
guys an update: forthcoming titles, events and the return of familiar segments.
It’s been a rough year but I’m toughing
through it as best I can and working plenty to keep the Anime Corner ready with
articles galore at all scheduled times.
Anyway, now that we’ve somehow jumped right into July and the hotter
than Hell weather, let’s see what we’ve got coming up in the next couple of months
July
We’re in the busy month now…which isn’t saying much since
the last few months have felt about the same in that regard.
It’s time for the next Extended Summer
Series: that time when I take a slightly longer series and give it a slightly
accelerated review schedule, usually 3 reviews a week.
This year it’s a Toonami classic that sits
fondly on the same bench Gundam Wing, Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z.
In Japan theyre known as the
Legendary
Armor Samurai Troopers.
Here in the
States, we know them as
Ronin Warriors.
I’ll be checking out all 39 episodes of the TV Series plus the 3 OVA
follow ups (
Gaiden, Legend of the Inferno Armor and
Message).
Usually, this accelerated review schedule is
timed with my eventual going to Otakon…but since that’s not happening this
year…yeah.
Still, not letting that stop
the forthcoming reviews.
And in lieu of
lack of Otakon (or summer conventions for that matter), I’ve got a string of
Top
5 Wednesdays planned, focusing on the best cosplays of my very first years
at Otakon from 2010-2015.
Plus, I may or
may not have something to celebrate Otakon seeing as how this would have been
my 10
th one…if I can get around to it.
August
Since there’s no Otakon, there’s no need to take a week
break from reviews. Originally planned
for March of this year, August will see another little grab bag of titles,
though all of these have similar tether: theyre all Anime Films based on Video
Games. I’m taking a look at several
popular franchises taking the dive into the Anime realm, all with varied
success rates. Halo Legends, Mass
Effect: Paragon Lost, Bayonetta: Bloody Fate, Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture and
Resident Evil Vendetta are all on deck to take us through the month. Oh and the next round of First Impression
Friday features will start up again around this time for another extended
stay through the end of November.
September
Nothing really extensive about September…yet. Only major note is the series I’ve got lined
up for the month, one I’ve been looking forward to since its announcement. Well I got to see it earlier this year,
reviewed it and penciled it in for this spot.
It’s time to see if Psycho Pass can dig itself out of the hole Psycho Pass
2 tragically dug itself into with Psycho Pass 3.
And yeah, that about covers everything that’s coming for
the next few months. I’ll reveal some
more things about the fall and winter probably once I’ve wrapped up Psycho Pass
3 at the end of September. Til then,
stay cool, stay hydrated, and stay safe everyone. The Gundam Anime Corner hopes you have the
best summer possible. See ya around.
