Latest Hidden Messages in Bandai Entertainment’s HTML.
Bandai Entertainment, the company which (among other series they’ve licensed) released all of the various Mobile Suit Gundam series stateside, likes to put hidden messages in the HTML code of their web page to tease future releases. I’m bringing this up because AnimeVice.com has the latest messages.
Analysis of my own below the cut
Weekend Review – Bleach (Season 1)
Alright, this weekend I’ll be starting off one of the biggest Shonen Anime to be released stateside in the past few years that don’t involve knucklehead ninja – Bleach. I’m not going to do a “Complete Bleach” thing this time – the show is still running and and not all of the currently released seasons have been released in the US yet.

Over the last 10 days (from the 22nd until the 31st – yes, the 31st is tomorrow but bear with me) – Funimation has been announcing a new license per day. All 10 licenses have been announced, and they are all, with one exception, genre (and you could argue that one is genre too). So, below the cut you will find the list and some comments on the items.

Weekend Review – Project A-Ko: Versus/Uncivil Wars
This weekend we get to the final Project A-Ko OVA, something of an “Elsworlds” piece, which makes the tone a little more serious, while continuing with the action and comedy. Does it work?
Note: Versus is the Japanese title of the OVA, Uncivil Wars is the American title. I’ve got no idea why they changed the name.
Weekend Review – Project A-Ko: Love and Robots
Our Project A-Ko review series continues with “Project A-Ko: Love and Robots”, which is the US release of 3 half-hour long short films featuring the main characters of Project A-Ko.
Weekend Review – Project A-Ko
This weekend we’re starting a series of reviews of the Project A-Ko series of films and OVAs, starting with the first one.
