Akikan!

Hobbies are often a great way of meeting people, but how could Kakeru Diachi, who collects juice cans, have ever suspected that he’d meet a girl when he attempted to DRINK her? Naming her Melon, because she’s got great melon… soda, Kakeru learns that she’s an Akikan - a girl who’s also a special can created to fight other Akikans to determine what kind of container is better: steel or aluminum! Will becoming involved in this research project complicate Kakeru’s life? Of course it will, but because Melon’s steel body needs CO2, he’s now stuck with her! And when his wealthy, attractive childhood friend Najimi gets HER own Akikan, the trouble really begins!

Shuichi Kuze’s been spending time with Mizuki Hayama and as they’ve been getting to know each other, they’ve been growing closer. Sadly, Kuze discovers that he’s contracted a fatal illness and decides to break all ties for the little time left to him. Before he can break it off, Mizuki tells him that she loves him. Will her declaration change Kuze’s mind? In another city and time, Yuu Himura meets a girl who seems to know him, but he doesn't know her. Soon enough, however, he remembers Yuko Amamiya, a girl he met long ago, and rediscovers the depth of their feelings for each other. Will Yuko’s love reach across time to find her true love once and for all?

Ever since he was visited by a spirit as a boy, Phoron’s wanted to become one of the battle bards who watch over Polyphonica. Yet even though he’s mastered the skills for singing the Commandia spells and operating a One-Man Orchestra, he can't summon the required spirit companion because of a promise he made to that first spirit. But that silence is shattered and Phoron’s musical meanderings are over when his partner suddenly returns, intent on finalizing the ’contract’ they made twelve years ago! Which would be great except for one thing: she’s not just any spirit, but the dreaded Corticarte, the Crimson Annihilator!

Updated: Question: Should A Cosplayer Be Kicked Out Of PAX East For Doing Her Job?

Day 1 Left, Day 2 Right Just to be clear, Jessica Nigri was asked to leave and change, she was allowed back in... But on day 1 of PAX east, she went dressed as Lollipop Chainsaw's star, Juliet Starling, without issue. Day 2 she went dressed as the same character in one of the multiple alt costumes and asked to leave to change. She returned in the cheerleader uniform from day 1 she was asked to change again, cover up, or leave entirely! Did I mention she was at the WB Games booth and is the official character model for the game? So what's the point of this post? Most of the Grotto staff come from a place in the US where people can go grocery shopping wearing A LOT less than what Nigri had on! Now if she were dressed in one of the alternate costumes from Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball, then I can understand the issue. What do you guys think? Let us know in the comments below or on Google+ and after the break, see Nigri's Day 3 costume! Updated 4/9/2012: Added ...

Greeting Geeks, In case you haven't checked it out yet, Nickelodeon has released their new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. As a general disclaimer: THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MICHAEL BAY'S TURTLES PROJECT . To put it simply, it's Teen Titans meets Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003). To put it more complexly...well...you'll have to hit the jump for that.
