Umm…here’s a quick Friday update: There’s a new ‘HYPERTRAILER’ for Death Note II: The Last Name. This is the first time I’ve ever heard the words ‘hyper‘ and ‘trailer‘ together, but I guess it’s a new social media word. I wasn’t sure what to expect out of a ‘HYPERTRAILER’, but here’s the official statement about it:
Check out the ALL NEW EXCLUSIVE Death Note II: The Last Name HyperTrailerSM – the next evolution in the movie trailer – interact with the trailer, embed it on your blog, see exclusive behind the scenes footage, view production photos, buy merchandise and much, much more! More than just a trailer…it’s a HYPERTRAILER.
So basically, it’s supposed to be ‘the next evolution in the movie trailer’. I think that’s a rather lofty goal, but hey – check it out and tell us if you think it deserves the title of ‘the next evolution’. Personally, I was hoping that Smell-O-Vision™ would be ‘the next evolution’ in movie trailers, but oh well. Here ya go:

I love anime. Specifically, series involving any of the following things: weird fantasy elements, super-powers, robots, aliens, wicked humor, crazy villains, horror, ninjas and samurai. I guess that means I like a lot of anime. I am pretty particular about the quality of animation and voice acting. If the character designs and animation quality aren't of über-quality, I quickly loose interest.The first anime-related series I ever watched was Battle of the Planets - otherwise known as Gatachman. The first true theatrical anime feature film I saw was Akira. My first exposure to manga was later in life when I read Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy.There are so many incredible elements of Japanese culture. Some of the most exciting to me are the style of design and storytelling. I'm a web designer & illustrator, and I find myself looking to Japanese design for inspiration all the time.Anime blogging has taught me even more about Japanese culture and anime than I ever expected, and I continue to learn more every week. In fact, I'd love to travel to Japan. Rachel and I hope to visit sometime within the next few years.
Wow! This looks amazing. Reminded me of the video game Metroid. Scary and appealing.
