Gotham High

Here's something you fans of the Batman might find interesting: link.
Apparently, at one point in time, a series was put forth that re-visioned various characters of the Batman universe as freshmen in high school. :)
Can you imagine? The awkwardness of Batman and the Joker in gym class together? Or Poison Ivy and Catwoman having girl talk in the caf? I don't know whether to consider the whole concept ridiculous or ingenious.

Follow the link for some interesting concept art and an article explaining the premise of the series.

Lelouch's Awakening AMV

Sefa has kindly sent a wonderful Code Geass AMV for those of you who are interested. Obviously, as with all AMVs, you run the risk of spoilers if you have not watched the show - so view at your own discretion.

Mass Effect 3 Teaser

Being the Mass Effect fan that I am, I thought I might share the teaser released for the final installment of the trilogy:





This trailer was shown along with the teasers for Mortal Kombat, Uncharted 3, Batman: Arkham City, Oblivion: Skyrim and other various goodies and previews at the Spike Video Game Awards.

It looks like 2011 was going to be a great year for video games.

All the best,

Every Anime Opening Ever

Melvin has once again sent me an awesome video he found here.
The following video is a collection of anime openings showcasing the repeated use of the same imagery.





Watching this video really does make one realize how many anime openings use the same images. It's quite hilarious actually. It's also fun so see how many anime openings you can identify through the short opening clips. Have fun.

All the best,

University of Toronto Anime and Manga Association

Since some people showed an interest in knowing more about university manga clubs, I thought I'd give you guys the link to the U of T club I am a member of: UTAMA.

This club is a great place to meet people and make friends. I've met some of my best friends through this club. They have monthly meetings, and a variety of group outings and events throughout the year. The forums are also a great place to interact. Even if you don't plan on going to U of T, I'd check out/join the forums if you want a good place to interact with fans and discuss a variety of topics (there's more then just manga and anime out there too).

All the best,

Jess
