posted on 2009-11-24 23:26 EST
The North American film and video distributor Funimation will be showing the live-action film Ichi for one night only at theaters across Canada this Thursday, November 26.
Ichi re-imagines the story of the famous blind swordsman Zatoichi as a female. The film stars Haruka Ayase (Oblivion Island: Haruka and the Magic Mirror's Haruka, Crying Out Love in the Center of the World's Aya) as the title character. Fumihiko Sori (Ping Pong, Vexille) directed Ichi before directing To, the computer-animated adaptation of two science-fiction stories from Yukinobu Hoshino's 2001 Nights manga.
Ichi had previously been screened at the 8th Annual Asian Film Festival of Dallas back in July. The film will be available on DVD and Blu-ray on December 22.

Review: Final Fantasy XIII-2
"Rather than reinvent its predecessor, Final Fantasy XIII-2 just improves its ideas in smaller ways. It's more casually enjoyable than Final Fantasy XIII, but it's still unsatisfying in the long run." Check out Todd Ciolek's verdict on the latest in the long-running franchise now.

There's plenty of visual flourish to keep fans interested, with over-the-top action poses and superhuman fighting moves every few pages. Now if only the plot could catch up to that level of accomplishment.

Ouran High School Host Club GN 17
There 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 & 3
Cage 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.

A perverted young man becomes the master to a sexy, emotionally stunted, angel-like android with frightening power in this 2009 harem series. Though occasionally good, the series much more often wallows in crass stupidity.
Blue Exorcist DVD 2
Nothing here shakes up the series the way parts of the last volume did, but it's consummate entertainment nonetheless: slick and effortlessly propulsive, yet still respectful of its audience and characters.
