Some news before 2011 is gone

Posted by: Cybermario @ 6:25 am Share in Facebook

So that special time of the year is coming and Gendo Claus is coming to town! Ho~ Ho~ Ho~! It has been some time since posting any news, my sincere apologies to our readers.


There’s been many ideas and projects i wanted to make a reality but alas, i did not, mainly for lack of manpower, a few health issues and what not.
If you know who can perform a cheap surgery so i can get Doctor Octopus arms, like in Spiderman to multitask and work more on the website drop me an e-mail.


Evangelion Gendo Claus



Well, there are ideas, i am dropping and/or changing to bring more anime content to the website as it was intended, as i am unable to work “Artist of the Month” and i’m not really that knowledgeable about Seiyu, sorry my Otaku powers are weak! This project will be on the backburner until someone with the proper desire to work on it jumps in the bandwagon.
In the meantime “Artist of the Month” will become “Opening/Ending of the week.” Where i’ll post and comment about a theme i like and why, a bit about the artist, etc.
The Anime Gallery doesn’t have much content now, but then again doing my best will be uploading new images soon, the lyrics database is semi functional but i dont want to release it to the public until we make it work like we want.


Anime Radio, for a long time wanted to bring this back to life but could not, finally got a host for it, not perfect and may crash from time to time but 90% uptime is not bad, been uploading tons of music and soon will be adding the link on the website.
Stay tuned because we will have more reviews, including anime, and don’t hate me, if i spoil some shows for you. It’s hard not to when you write about some shows, some contests coming soon and more.


If you feel generous this season, click our Splitreason and Play-Asia banners, you will be supporting the web and you will make me smile.
Last but not least, THANK YOU!! Thanks everyone for visiting the web and hope you enjoy what we have to offer, we are steadily growing and will have more this 2012. So please stay with us, Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

Shaman King Returns!

Posted by: Cybermario @ 12:15 am Share in Facebook

The highly popular Shaman King by Hiroyuki Takei makes a return with a new manga! To be published in the Jump X (KAI) magazine on november 10. This new chapter has 44-pages, including full-color pages opening the story, plus a poster that im sure will be desired by many.


The new story will be a one shot manga, this will be an untold “Zero Story” focusing on the main character Yoh Asakura.
Seems that this new story will be the beginning of a major project of Shaman King, which could be revealed this next spring.


Shaman King Manga



We can only speculate, it is possible that it is a new manga or maybe a new anime that follows the manga story unlike the previous one? Whatever this new project is, im sure it will be great news for any Shaman King fans around the world.

He’s convinced that the mythical Psyren Secret Society has something to do with the recent rash of disappearances. And now he seems to be caught up as a player in their very deadly game…


“Ageha Yoshina embarks on a dangerous adventure in this action-packed new series where he attempts to alter the future and save the world,†says Joel Enos, Editor. “Readers will be transported to Psyren, a stark wasteland inhabited by insect-like monsters, where Yoshina and his friends must complete missions assigned by the mysterious Nemesis Q if they ever hope to return home. PSYREN is a bestseller in Japan, where it also spawned a pair of popular novels. Don’t miss the new manga release coming in October!â€


Manga creator Toshiaki Iwashiro was born in 1977, in Tokyo, and his debut manga series was the popular Mieru Hito (Divine Eye), which ran from 2005 to 2007 in Japan in Weekly Shonen Jump, where PSYREN was also currently serialized.
