Sailor Moon, Licensed by Funimation?
One the world’s worst rumors in the anime industry is that Funimation has acquired the rights to Sailor Moon. We wait for the big cons like A-kon, Anime eXpo, Otakon, SDCC, NYCC for them to make the grand announcement.
An upcoming Canadian convention recently announced Stephanie Morganstern as a guest. In the video posted below, she puts a call out to get the entire Sailor Moon cast to appear.

Game Review—Poker Night 2 (Still a Better Casino Experience than Delaware Park)
Publisher: Telltale Games
System: XBox 360, PS3 and PC
Genre: Casino
Release Date: April 24th, 2013
Rating: M
Review by Ari Rockefeller
Casino games translated into video game form are a tricky venture. There are only so many ways to make the same array of casino games interesting, and unless you make them especially appealing with some kind of visual or story gimmick (professional poker tie-ins notwithstanding), then you might as well pick up a handheld poker game at whatever Walmart or Target is nearby and tool around on that. Telltale Games most likely had this in mind when they designed Poker Night 2.
PAX East Cosplay Picks
I love going to PAX East every year. It’s a refreshing break in between all of the anime conventions I attend. This year’s cosplays I saw were wicked awesome.

You may have heard by now that Bandai has finally released information about the new S.H. Figurearts Sailor Moon action figure for the 20th anniversary. Due for release in Japan in August, while a release in the States is slated for August or September, the price tag of 4,410-yen is slightly more than the $42.99 price tag it will be here.
