Gonzo to Reduce Annual Anime Output from 8 to 4
GDH, the corporate parent of the Gonzo anime company, has announced that it will be restructuring, and therefore reducing its annual output of anime from about eight projects to four in the next fiscal year. The decision was made during the board of directors' meeting that was held on Monday. The company currently produces anime through its four internal studios and outsourcing to other companies. It plans to combine its internal studios under one division and "carefully" winnow its output from eight to four titles.
1st 11 Minutes of Resident Evil: Degeneration Posted
The IGN entertainment news source posted the first 11 minutes of the computer-animated Resident Evil: Degeneration feature. Makoto Kamiya and Digital Frontier are adapting CAPCOM's Biohazard/Resident Evil zombie horror game franchise. The story takes place seven years after the main game storyline and reunites the characters Leon (Paul Mercier) and Claire (Alyson Court). The first eight minutes are available without restrictions, although the next three minutes are age-restricted due to the graphic violence.
Sony Pictures will ship the DVD and Blu-ray version in North America on December 30.
Drive-Thru Office
Anyone who works in an office knows only too well about the annoyances that come with being in such an environment - eyestrain, backache, petty rules, pointless meetings, smelly food, photocopier fumes, colleagues....
All of the above, however, pale into insignificance as far as the workers of an office in the heart of Osaka are concerned.
These poor souls also have to contend with the risk of being knocked down by speeding traffic - just for taking a walk to the lavatory.
It can't be easy. (nothing to do with anime but only in Japan is this ok)
