Anime Vice News

Friday is Family Day! 12/19/08

This week's best news from our big brothers Comic Vine and Giant Bomb. MOM, TONY'S ON MY SIDE OF THE LINE AND JEFF KEEPS POKING ME!

Comic Vine:
  • Ethan and Tony discuss what comic book characters have the best hair. This inspired our question of the day here a Anime Vice: what anime/manga characters have the best hair? And no, I refuse to go as far as Tony and get any kind of mohawk.

  • The Comic Vine kids are also chatting about Keanu Reeves as Spike Spiegel, and they don't seem to like it any more than we do on average. (And yes, they also got the requisite “whoa” comment.)

  • And of course, in news that was both inevitable and completely depressing, the Watchmen movie trial has been pushed back because apparently Charlie Brown is the wishy-washy judge in this case.

  • I also want to link you guys to this interview with Batman voice actor Will Friedle, because I am a giant dork and really liked both Boy Meets World and Kim Possible. Yeah, I know, shoot me already.


Giant Bomb: Middle, Cool/Slacker brother.

Giant Bomb:
  • Valkyria Chronicles isn't selling as well as its makers would like, apparently...which is a shame, because it's a beautiful game. (Meanwhile, I'm contributing to the not-buying by, uh, not having bought it. Oops!)

  • Meanwhile, Metal Gear Solid is going iPhone. You can now also buy an iSnake cover for the iPhone-- it's a cardboard box. (Badum-ting!)

  • Finally, Brad reviews the latest entry in the Prince of Persia franchise, which looks pretty and apparently has excellent gameplay. He overall recommends it as a way to get back into the franchise if you've dropped out.
