  Daisuki.netDaisuki.net: Exclusive Chat with the Newest Anime Video Site
Interview by Karen Gellender
 
A new anime streaming site is coming on May 16th, and good news: it’s going to be free. Even better news: with a lineup of industry heavy-hitters as partners in the new Daisuki.net — including Aniplex, Sunrise and Toei Animation — some very high-profile and much-beloved titles are going to be available soon.

While perhaps the biggest ace up Daisuki’s sleeve right out of the gate is One Piece (the biggest shonen hit that the current leader of dedicated anime streaming sites, Crunchyroll.com, doesn’t have), the site has already announced several other popular titles like Puella Magi Madoka Magica, an entry in the Gundam franchise, Lupin The Third, and the most recent Prince of Tennis series.

However, the service seeks not to just provide a place to legally watch popular series, but also to prove a destination for all kinds of anime—from blockbusters to the obscure. “Daisuki.net will not only offer new and well-known anime series but also older ones, classical ones, nostalgic ones… we hope to offer a great variety for introducing all kinds of Japanese anime to all fans over the world,” a Daisuki representative told Anime.com.

Accel World
Accel World
アクセル・ワールド

Anime Review by Karen Gellender

Accel WorldWith gamers spending increasingly large portions of their lives fully immersed in imaginary worlds, it's interesting, if somewhat troubling, to consider what the future may hold for videogames. We can wonder about how the games will change as technology continues to improve, but perhaps the more interesting question is how the act of playing these games of the future will change us. Accel World is all about the form this kind of change may take, and the ambition of the premise helps the show rise above a lot of similar fare.

A Certain Magical Index
とある魔術の禁書目録

Anime Review by Brian Cirulnick

A Certain Magical IndexDepending upon your viewpoint, this could either be one of the best anime series since FullMetal Alchemist, or this could be a complete and dismal failure of an anime series.

Sure, it's got some fascinating stuff in it, full of new and exciting ideas, it has a wonderful and thought-provoking science versus religion subtext, it has some amazing production value and overall is filled with the kind of stuff that makes me go "hrmmmm"..., BUT, it's also tripping all over itself to try and be something it's definitely not, which is a well-directed anime series.

Durarara!! (DRRR)
デュラララ!!

Manga Review by Linda Yau

Durarara!!Living in an urban city guarantees an immense population with many chaotic sights, sounds, tastes, and experiences. It guarantees that there are always strangers living in a tightly compressed space. In Tokyo, there are many neighborhoods, all linked with easy access by the Yamanote Rail Line. DRRR happens to talk about Ikebukuro and introduces a large cast of strangers just existing there. Just how would various strangers live and experience life under certain circumstances?

DRRR was initially introduced to many non-Japanese via its very popular anime series that aired in 2010. The manga is a different adaptation, and allows different fans to experience another layer that is different than the anime and its light novel counterpart. Ryohgo Narita who is the creator for this series invites readers to experience a medium and enjoy this series. Read More...
