Aarggghhhhh… Sorry for the loss of control, but it’s really been a rough week, with no end in sight. It’s sad, really, because this time of the year used…

    Anime News Network has plenty of details on an upcoming live-action adaption of Naoki Urasawa’s terrific 20TH CENTURY BOYS manga. I love this series — I really don’t know if I prefer MONSTER or not — and so I’m personally really excited to see how it’ll come off. It’s planned as a trilogy, with the…
