With a lineup featuring figures from the very popular three anime/manga franchises, its almost guaranteed that Bandai will be raking in the big bucks XD

There will be quite a number of movies being shown and their screening scheduled are shown below as well:

1. Naruto Shippuden Movie 4: The Lost Tower
2. Sokyuu no Fafner: Heaven and Earth
3. Gundam Unicorn: Episode 1 and 2 The Day of the Unicorn and The Red Comet
4. Gundam Unicorn: Episode 3 The Ghost of Laplace

Earlier I was complaining that I had no seen Episode 1 & 2 of Gundam Unicorn and it seems like the organisers have decided to include an additional slot to screen it, so that folks who are like me can enjoy the first part of the story before proceeding to watch Episode 3 of Gundam Unicorn.

To keep update on to the latest details on the concert, you can like the Jplex Facebook page or check out the official website.

Gigazine took an interesting video of all the 53 books of Weekly Shounen Jump magazine that were release in 2009 and uploaded it onto youtube. You can now enjoy the interesting Naruto action:

I used to have the entire collection of Dragonball manga series (before I passed it to my cousin) and the art on the spine of the manga set was one of my favorite of all time.

As you can see from the photo above, there are quite a number of important characters in the cast, and they look pretty badass.

I would love to see how they can pull off Naruto’s trademark “Taijuu Kage bunshin no jutsu” LOL

In celebration, a special website has been launched – NARUTO 10th ANNIVERSARY. The site shares some of the upcoming projects such as a new Naruto movie in summer 2009, a Naruto Premium Book Cover that will be included in the combined #6 and #7 2009 issue of Shukan Shonen Jump comic magazine, and a Naruto-themed design for the spine of the magazine.

So which is your favorite manga for the year of 2008?

I haven’t been following up on Naruto to date? What has happened to Gaara? Does he still have control over sand?

So they invited Namco Bandai marketing manager to bring us through the gameplay.

The game will be featuring 25 playable characters along with other support characters. Namco Bandai also intend to make more downloadable content in the future.

A playable demo will also be made available for download during the upcoming E3.

If you gone through the video, you’d definitely see how awesome it looks. I just can’t wait to start playing this game.

The trailer ends with: “For the first time, the line between the Naruto TV animation and gaming will truly disappear”.

I’m totally in awe of how good this game trailer looked. This should be the new standard for all anime-related games!

That would probably make everyone reading this post feel very hungry. Maybe inspire one or two to create charaben of their own.

The bentos were created by nic*mod*o, if you want to see more of her Naruto charaben, you can check it out in this gallery.

I think Japanese mothers really have it tough for them if they have to make such beautiful bento everyday. I think its impossible to come up with a different design everyday.
