Hello all you otaku's! It's time for the 7 o'clock news (or whenever you're viewing this). Today's breakthrough story:
The Playstation 2 isn't even out in the US yet, and Sony is already developing the 3rd installment of PSX hardware. No specs have been released, but it is known that it iwll be out sometime in 2005. Like the Nintendo Dolphin, Sony plans to market 2 versions of the Playstation 3, one strictly for gaming and one for Digital Video, music/movie players, web browsers, etc. More news as follows.
In other news:
The anime news for today is that ADV is now selling Fansubbed videos. While still retaining the Japanese language with subtitles (done by fans who understand both English and Japanese), they are priced the same as dubbed videos, or around there. So, if you detest dubs, but are on a budget, either buy the DVD version (that's what I do!) or get fansubs.
X the Movie (known as X/1999 for you manga fans) is coming to the US in theatres. The release dates are as follows:

Now, the story:
The colors....The colors. They surrounded him, affecting him, making his mind bleed out of the ears, the nose, the eyes, the mouth. It did not hurt, it was glorious. At first the colors formed a lion, then a bear. He was afraid of bears. He took a step back, and fell. He fell on what looked like a topaz log, with a purple frog on top. The frog wasn’t a frog, but a pair of swim trunks. He put them on, and started to swim in a lake. A dolphin came, and they swam together through aqua waters, with vermilion coral formations, and fish seeming to change their shape and appearance with each shimmer of the sun. He passed out under the brilliant water, with the dolphin continuing on, through the water.
He awoke on a cloud, as high up as he could, higher than anyone had ever been without being confined to a ship or suit of some sort. The cloud held his weight, and was soft as his bedroom mattress. That he liked. He decided to jump, since his aforementioned fall did not hurt him, nor did he feel the coolness of the water. He just saw it all. And he did jump. He fell, and fell, until the wind had caused his hair to become misshapen, and he landed with some degree of safeness onto the ground.
Which is the point in which he woke up. He took out the needle, and the colors were now sane. He then sat up, put everything back, and went onto his bed, laying back and turning on the television.
