Gantz's Oku Also Designs Soul Calibur IV Character
posted on 2008-05-15 06:35 AESTNot-So-Daily Link of the Day: Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump magazine has announced in this year's 24th issue (released on May 15) that manga creator Hiroya Oku (Gantz, HEN) has designed a female sword-fighter named Shura for the Soul Calibur IV fighting game. She will be a rival to Ivy, the master of the Snake-Sword who was introduced in the first Soul Calibur game. The magazine also includes a pin-up poster of Ivy and Shura, as drawn by Oku. Shura will join the rapier-wielding Scheherazade (pictured below) from fellow manga/anime creator Yutaka Izubuchi (Lodoss, RahXephon), the Lucifer Spear bearer Angol Fear from Mine Yoshizaki (Sgt. Frog, Arcade Gamer Fubuki), and Darth Vader and Yoda from the American Star Wars films.
Dark Horse Comics will publish the first manga volume of Gantz in English next month, and Madman Entertainment has released the anime version in Australia.

Anime Classics: Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust / Spriggan / Millennium Actress DVDThis second set certainly lacks the same amount of punch as the first did, however that does not stop it being quite an enjoyable collection that is perfect for those who somehow overlooked these titles their first time around or are new to the anime scene.
Following the cliffhanger ending in the first volume, Death Note Volume 2 contains the answers awaited by fans.
Space Adventure Cobra is a hangover from the 80's. It has large hair, impossible missions and it's a space opera to boot, but how does it hold up with today's modern audience?
One one hand, the Valentine Brothers are to die for and they like to make sure that you do. On the other, Seras and Alucard do have a switch for god mode. So how will this clash of duos unfold?
Transformers Headmasters. To the unknowing onlooker, the title could very well have been mistaken for a series about robots running schools. But alas, this is not the case. It is however, about robots. Big, BIG robots.
