The Network Roundup: Totally entertained

So this week’s been pretty centered around a few things for me. What’s going to happen in Game of Thrones and The Killing on Sunday, and counting down the days to get my hands on Xenoblade Chronicles. The new TV season is completely out of my hands, but come Friday, I expect to turn on my Wii for the first time in years, and achieve total and complete happiness.

Before I ascend into JPRG bliss, there’s been some exciting news around the network. Japanator is leaving their house and finally going on a date. Flixist conjures up some old JCVD action. Finally Tomopop teases me with stuff that I just can’t stay awake long enough to obtain.

Japanator

• Cooking Otaku: The Panel at Sakura-Con. Make sure you catch Japanator’s cooking Otaku panel in Seattle this weekend.
• Japanator Recommends: Jiro Dreams of Sushi. Jeff breaks down a feast for the eyes
• Final Impressions: Bakuman season 2. An anime about trying to make an anime? 

Flixist

• BADaptation: Street Fighter. Another hilarious entry, looking at one of the not so successful video game to movie adaptations out there.
• Netflix Now: My Little Pet Sematary. Get caught up with what should be in your Watch Instantly cue.
• Interview: Director Daniel Nettheim (The Hunter). Hubert catchers up with the talented Australian director.

Tomopop

• Guilty Crown’s Inori makes the most graceful Figma yet. If you didn’t love last season’s Guilty Crown, we just can’t be friends.
• Yes, you missed S.H.Figuarts Lunatic, too. If you don’t have your favorite toy store ready the seconds these Tiger and Bunny figures go on sale, you are basically screwed.
• Check out Banpresto’s new Monster Hunter prizes. Yes, there are many ways for MonHan to invade your wallet.
