The game will include costume customization options and combine aspects from the manga’s Nirvana, Edolas, and Tenrou Island story arcs. The UMD version will cost 5,800 yen (about US$75), and the downloadable version will cost 4,800 yen (US$62). We tackle a bunch of hot- button issues like negative fan reaction to same- sex relationships in anime, the fate of Gundam after Bandai and why everyone wants you to be so positive all the time! Madoka Magica is truly attempting to do something different, introducing a host of wildly creative and deeply sinister elements, reaching inside the very heart of the genre itself and pulling it inside out. With complimenting characters, a clear sense of the time in which is takes place, and intertwining motivations, Ono’s series is one for the older reader who is ready for something a little different that doesn’t involve students or superpowers. Fantastic mecha battles and a novel technological base highlight this gritty, graphic, adult- slanted sci fi/ fantasy story about friends forced to oppose each other in a war that neither side wants or can avoid. read more
