Banner Change! + New Anime Titles for February (Australia) 1

I know Hyperdimension Neptunia isn’t out yet (The banner will be replaced on the 18th, or I will make one for Ar Tonelico III), however I thought I would change the banner to represent something that has been long awaited to the Australian audience….. that being Higurashi no Naku Koro ni finally hitting Aussie shores! Originally only available as a (very pricey) import title, Higurashi is now coming to our shores in two DVD sets, with the first being released on the 18th of this month! Whilst it may seem like an old title to most international people, for those Aussies who have not yet had the chance to experience Ryukishi07’s epic Higurashi series, then I urge everyone to pick it up!

Anyway, the anime and manga that is being released this month include:

(Note, an * means I will most probably get and review the title!)

Just as Keiichi is beginning to assimilate into simple rural life, he stumbles upon the dark history of Hinamizawa – every year for the past four years, one person has been murdered and another has gone missing on the day of the Watanagashi Festival. When They Cry is an unnerving story of rural folklore and small-town psychosis steeped in brutal violence and horrific sadism. Cute and funny one minute, sinister and twisted the next, When they Cry broods with a unique psychological malaise.
