Hype: Code Geass: Rozé Is Into Boobs, Funny Suicide Anime, Shin Godzilla: Orthochromatic, Space for Sale & More


 There's a number of animes for the Summer season to get into and this is the horniest. And, you can't complain it's from the ladies over at CLAMP!


No Longer Allowed in Another World English Dub has started on Crunchyroll. The main character wants to kill himself, so there's gonna be a lot of suicide prevention warnings when watching. It's such a a dark comedy and at the same time, a really dumb anime.

Space for Sale is available now in Steam Early Access. Been looking forward to it for a while.

It came out in Japan last October, but the US Premiere was just this July for Shin Godzilla: Orthochromatic. Yes, another black and white version of a semi-recent Godzilla movie. 

Just for you to know Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga Black & Chrome Edition is out this August.

We make fun of these editions, because they were never intended by the directors to be this way, but later on it's seen as prestige because classic movies are in black and white.

And, because they make studios more money. Cha-Ching!

Anyway, last month, Japan Cuts screened the awfully titled Shin Godzilla: Orthochromatic for audiences to see in two colors.

Here's the blurb from the movie's page from Japan Cuts that explains the weird name:

"Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi’s 21st century masterpiece is reborn with this stunning black-and-white version, released in Japan last year in the leadup to Godzilla’s 70th anniversary. A major critical and commercial success that earned seven Japan Academy Prize awards, Shin Godzilla (2016) pays tribute to the monster movie franchise’s origins while reinventing the iconic kaiju within the context of Japan’s political present. Proposed by Anno and overseen by Higuchi, ORTHOchromatic adds new dimensions to the film’s visual impact by rendering it in orthochromatic (“ortho” for short) black-and-white, a type of monochrome characterized by starker contrasts and more pronounced blacks. The results are awe-inspiring and presents Shin Godzilla as never seen before."
