Poll: Which Anime Girl Attracts the Most Desperate Fanboys?
0In a new Biglobe poll, over seven thousand Japanese anime fans named which female characters attract the most unhealthy fanboy obsession. There’s an evident recency bias at work, so while Madoka Magica has a strong showing (two of the five are left out), along with the obvious K-on! and Haruhi, Aquarion EVOL is also well represented.

Baccano! Blu-ray Gets Re-Release
0Aniplex USA held their panel at Anime Central on Friday and while it was light on new news, the company did bring up one welcome piece of news. They released a limited edition run of the Baccano! Blu-ray box set back in May of 2011 which mirrored what the Japanese release was and included a bit more English language material. The set was done with a box made specifically for that release, which was why it was considered a limited edition. Aniplex is now set to re-release the show itself on Blu-ray again, date to be determined, and like Oreimo, it’ll be a regular edition version of it.
Baccano! is one of the unusual releases in that Aniplex only has the Blu-ray rights (at the moment?) as FUNimation has released the show on DVD with a dub, but they never had the Blu-ray rights. Aniplex’s Blu-ray release does include the English language dub as well as the subtitles.
Plot Concept: Hot off the “Roaring Twenties” and headfirst into the uncertain volatility of the “Dirty Thirties,” criminal syndicates stormed into power by bootlegging alcohol during the Prohibition Era – but the most notorious “liquor” of all time is about to set off a violent chain reaction within the mafia underworld!
Each story involves several unrelated plots intersecting and crossing each other as events spiral further and further out of control. Immortal alchemists, mafia-operated speakeasies, and many other elements of pulp fiction are mashed together for a world straight out of the movies.
