.:My 2 Yen:.
BY: ELLY
Hello and welcome to my fist ever My 2 Yen segment! Here I talk about that which is anime related along with my interpreted view of the matter. Despite my age I'm a very experienced otaku and would be more than willing to answer any and all anime-related questions my readers have regarding anime, so if you have anything you'd like to be answered in this segment feel free to e-mail me at RadicaLElly@yahoo.com RE: My 2 Yen. On to my news, views, and reviews:
 THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 09, 2004 Anime Central – Geneon License Announcements New installments of Inu Yasha will be skipped on October 23rd and 30th. In its place, The Animatrix will be twice shown on Saturday, October 30th, once at Midnight and once more at 3:00am (early Sunday Morning), and on October 23rd Read or Die will be transmitted in the same time slots.  TUESDAY, JUNE 22, 2004 Anime Central – Geneon License Announcements Anime on DVD reports that it appears that C.B. Cebulski has stated that CLAMP will be working on a project for Marvel Comics.  TUESDAY, JUNE 22, 2004 Anime Central – Geneon License Announcements Famed anime director Hayao Miyazaki came in fifth, preceded by singer and actress Akiko Wada, actor Takuya Kimura, comedian Sanma Akashiya and actor/director/comedian Beat Takeshi.  MONDAY, JUNE 12, 2004 Anime Central – Geneon License Announcements FUNimation announced at AKon that they have acquired the license for Gunslinger Girl (TV). Meanwhile, ADV announced the licenses for Mermaid Melody: Pichi Pichi Pitch, Sakigake!! Cromartie High, and E's Otherwise.  MONDAY, JUNE 07, 2004 Anime Central – Geneon License Announcements Tokyopop has sent out a press release announcing the upcoming release of Coutney Love's Princess Ai, a collaborative work between Coutney Love, DJ Milky, Ai Yazawa and Misaho Kujiradou. Details about Princess AI were first made public last July.  WEDNESDAY, MAY 26, 2004 Anime Central – Geneon License Announcements As much as I'd like to say that if there's anywhere 'Innocence' can succeed it's at the ultra-elitist Cannes, that simply isn't true. Those people are prejudiced against animation for the most part; if it were live-action, they'd be tripping all over themselves to lavish it with praise. Since it's animated, though, I just can't see it winning much of anything.  TUESDAY, MAY 18, 2004 Anime Central – Geneon License Announcements Maybe Geneon is getting revenge on ADV for getting "Nurse Witch Komugi" (the "SoulTaker" spin-off)? While I suppose it's a possibility, Pioneer will not likely have the balls to use the original Dub cast like ADV did for Komugi.  SATURDAY, MAY 13, 2004 Funimation licenses Fullmetal Alchemist Square-Enix announced at E3 that it would be localizing Fullmetal Alchemist in association with Funimation.  SATURDAY, MAY 13, 2004 Zeta Gundam Movie in 2005 Sunrise has a website for the Z-Gundam Movie up at Z-Gundam.net. Of course, I hope that this film means brand new cartoons for my preferred Gundam name... please say it is so!  SATURDAY, MAY 08, 2004 More on Gunbuster 2 According to this month's subject of Newtype Japan, the first quantity of Gunbuster 2 will be free this Autumn (September 24th according to Moon Phase), and will be six incidents, with following incidents approaching out each next month.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 05, 2004 Hollywood makes plans for Casshern The new live-action Casshern film (based on the 1973 Robot Hunter Casshan anime series) may be on its way to the US.  TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 2004 Mmmmm… Kiki… As a co-production with the French screening of Kiki's Delivery Service, French dessert chain “Paul” is making Kiki themed cakes. The chain is a huge with more than 240 cafés in France and 30 more worldwide.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16, 2004 Unpopular Manga Mag Seeking New Path Raijin Magazine, circulated, unfortunately for itself, at the height of Shonen Jump USA's popularity, is going on a hiatus. Publications, though popular among certain fans, hasn't reached a broad enough market. All subscribers (all 18 of you) will be getting their money back.  WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10, 2004 Tickets Sell Out As They Go On Sale Just one day after tickets went on sale for the first US Final Fantasy concert, being held at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Disneyland on May 10th, sold out. Concerns first arose that this also takes place during E3 - the biggest US gaming convention of the year. However, the concert is now actually being considered a part of E3.
