What’s Hot Right Now:

Ah Gad Guard, | mean who doesn’t love
odd-looking steam tech robots that are
made from random garbage? Some sort
of weird magical cube computer thingy
collects garbage and makes it into a
robot. Okay, I know there is more of a
plot than that—the kid has a hat, a hat
so important it comes with the first
DVD, I mean everyone loves hats right?

What’s Going to be Hot:

Newly licensed Stelvia of the Universe
will be quite the series when Pioneer
releases it, and I know they’re called
Genon right now, but I'll keep calling
them Pioneer until they change the
name back to that. Is it good, you ask?
Well, its your standard high school
drama thing but it’s in space, and
involves space ships and stuff. No, I
swear, I watched it and it’s not like
Prince of Tennis, where | made every-
thing up. It’s just they took too long to
license it.

What's Hot in Japan:

Tl tell you what’s not hot, or at least
what scares me: live-action Sailor Moon.
I mean seriously, why did they cast peo-

ple who not only don’t look like they ©

should be in high school, but look like

they haven't been there for a good ten

years. So yeah, that’s food for thought I _

guess, but it does go to show that I don’t
have anything better anime-wise to
watch right now that I haven't already
mentioned.

What’s Coming in a Box:

As you know, Gundam Seed is slated for
an August 10th release. But did you
know that it will be coming with a fancy
box for an obscene amount of money,
and that it currently contains some sort

of mystery prize or something? Why _

does this demand mention? Since I’ve .

already given Gundam Seed ten out of __
_ five on my rating scale, I figured it’s.
.. worth mentioning the fancy box mys-
_ tery. I assure you all we will have the lat-

est on this emerging mystery.

This Month in History

Amanda Aikman
Arts and Entertainment Editor

 

June 11, 1995:

Courtney Love, lead singer of the group Hole and
widow of Kurt Cobain, is hospitalized in Seattle after
a reaction to prescription medicine caused her to pass
out on a flight. Scary, huh? Don't worry though, it’s
not likely to happen to you since most doctors are no
longer prescribing heroin for sinus headaches.

 

June 21, 1988:

The Fat Boys file a $5 million lawsuit against Miller
Beer and Joe Piscopo for using their likeness in a
Miller Lite “Rappin Fats” Piscopo commercial. The
Fat Boys didn’t get the $5 million though, because the
jury unanimously decided that the defendant had
already suffered enough just from having to be Joe

Piscopo.

 

  

Jone 23,1989;
New Kids on the Block are nearly thrown out of a
hotel in Anaheim after they were caught throwing bal-
loons filled with Kool-Aid at guests. Anaheim? Balloons?
Kool-Aid? Those boys were about as rock and roll as
the Family Circus gang.
