posted on 2009-10-23 22:45 EDT
The Box Office Mojo website reports on Friday that Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli's Ponyo anime film has surpassed the US$15 million threshold at the box office in the United States. As of October 22, the film has earned US$15,006,092. It has been in American theaters for 70 days, although it was in just 45 theaters during the October 16-18 weekend. It is still the fifth highest grossing theatrical anime release in the United States, below Pokemon 3 - The Movie (US$17,052,128).
Frank Marshall, the co-producer of the film's North American dubbing and theatrical release, reported on his personal Twitter account last weekend that the DVD "will be out in March."

Ouran High School Host Club GN 17There is but one volume remaining to Ouran High School Host Club, and it has been a fun ride. While this book doesn't quite live up the earlier ones in terms of pure, lighthearted enjoyment, it is still solidly entertaining.
Cage of Eden GN 2 & 3Cage of Eden has all of the elements of a classic survival epic – monsters, diseases, an unfriendly wilderness with no perceived escape, and our own ability as humans to lie. While it can be laid on a bit thick at times, and the fanservice or treatment of the adult female characters may be objectionable to some, Yamada's story is an engrossing one.
