Art Roundup

• The wonderful commercial you can see above was created by Kevin Dart and Stéphane Coëdel, who also worked on the wonderful Yuki 7. Dart just started a tumblr account that’s worth checking, by the way.
• And speaking of tumblr accounts, Phil Noto (who has been doing great work recently in Wolverine and Jubilee and X-23) has opened a tumblr for slightly NSFW material, while also keeping his regular one. All is great.

Tokyo Jihen disbands

Tokyo Jihen, Shiina Ringo’s band, will separate in February 29th. The still have a minialbum, a greatest hits album and a live dvd-blu ray to release, so fans have something to look forward to, and of course, if Shiina goes back to her solo career it’s not all bad news.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2

 

An amusing intro between Alisa and Jack can be spotted in the Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (PS3, Xbox 360) trailer you see below.

Persona 4 The Ultimate

The official site for Persona 4 The Ultimate (PS3, Xbox 360) updated recently with a new wallpaper.

Code of Princess

 

 

 

The official site for Code of Princess (3DS) has been updating, including an animated trailer that looks ok. The thing is, the secondary characters look uninteresting, they don’t even fit with Kinu Nishimura‘s design of the heroine, it looks kind of awkward. You can download the opening in FLV format over here.

Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3

The Capcom blog has the very cool Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 (PS3, Xbox 360) hi-res artwork for all the characters available for download.

Best of 2011

The 2011 Golden Pom-Poms

The subjective, biased, kupo awards for the bests of 2011

 

Golden Pom-Pom to the best animated series: The iDOLM@STER

Not a great year for animation in general, but the im@s anime was a pleasant surprise, with great writing and an adorable cast.

Golden Pom-Pom to the best game: Catherine

Stylish puzzle game by the people that brought us Persona 3 and 4. In a time where developers play it safe, this was something different

 

Golden Pom-Pom to the best comic book: Thor: The Mighty Avenger

2011 saw the release of the last issues of Thor: The Mighty Avenger, a wonderful all-ages comic mixing adventure, fun and lots of romance, in a heartwarming package. Sadly cancelled but definitely worth checking, this will be remembered years from now as a Marvel classic.

Golden Pom-Pom to the best movie: Super 8

JJ Abrams homage to  Steven Spielberg’s 80′s movies was a wonderful movie on its own, with a charming cast and strong scenes.

 

Golden Pom-Pom to the best artist: Chris Samnee

With his runs in Thor: The Mighty Avenger and Captain America and Bucky, Chris Samnee showed an amazing sense of storytelling that few creators have nowadays.

Street Fighter x Tekken

A new cinematic trailer for Street Fighter x Tekken (PS3, Xbox 360, PS Vita) appears, featuring Cammy and Chun Li vs Lili and Asuka.
