Today Comic Zenon launched this commercial for a DVD collection of the quirky super-deformed take on Fist of the North Star named DD Hokuto no Ken:

The twelve-episode series (total run-time approximately 45 minutes) was originally animated in Flash and published on the web. In addition, a short series of 4-koma manga was published in Comic Bunch shortly before the magazine’s relaunch and departure of editor Nobuhiko Horie. A serialized DD Hokuto no Ken manga is now being published in Horie’s Comic Zenon.

The DD Hokuto no Ken anime will be available on the Comic Zenon web store, and goes on sale May 25th.

Next Tuesday North Americans will finally be able to buy the pulse-pounding anime masterpiece REDLINE. If you have no money or like free things, you should know multiple websites are giving away free copies of it. Here’s a rundown of all the contests of which I’m aware:

• Beyond Hollywood
• Rama’s Screen
• Ain’t It Cool News (Closed)
• Blu-ray.com (Closed)
• Nerd Reactor (Closed)
• We Got This Covered (Closed)

I’ll add any new ones I run across to the list.

HOLLYWOOD, C.A.—Insiders are reporting human waste found near a portable toilet bears a striking resemblance to the hit 1988 science fiction anime film Akira.

An anonymous source shared with Blog of the North Star that the ongoing police investigation currently attributes the mystery stinkpickle to Leonardo DiCaprio, a movie star long attached to the live action remake of Akira. Other named suspects include Stephen Norrington, Albert Hughes and Jaume Collet-Serra.

Moments ago metropolitan police released a statement explaining the incident to be a crime of soulless corporate passion. There’s no immediate danger, but the public should make efforts to avoid contact with the booty cake if at all possible.
