After watching the previous trailers, I went on to uncover further scoop trailers on the cast and crew behind the production.

After reading this from offical Gundam Unicorn page, I went ahead and found the footage video of the voice cast interviews.

They’re certainly very energetic and enthusiastic young bunch! All looking hyped-up for the movie Spring release!

The Japanese UC Voice Cast Crew – Part 1

The Japanese UC Voice Cast Crew – Part 2

BTW, these footage videos are pretty old BTW, dated like back in August when I was away on Europe holidays. The interviews come into two parts. Each ran for about 5 – 6 minutes long. Why didn’t the author just record the entire thing into one stream… I have no idea. But that’s no longer relevant as long as they’re available to view online.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t come with any subtitles. You might as well enjoy the whole thing while you’re here. Maybe good for those who wish to brush up their Japanese language without the need of subtitles? ;-)

One of Japan’s top well known publisher, Shueisha Inc, has made a quite healthy pocket of profit during the year of 2009.

A very healthy one.

A whopping USD $759 million big ones to be precise! All the other manga publishers could not get remotely close to their latest figures.

Have a look here, the chart and you’ll see how Shueisha made such dramatic push of great results in making successful business.

If you’d ask me, I would have thought significant drop of DVD sales over that past year was the major reason it was doing too well.  That’s why they’ll getting further traction with these hence animation studios are losing out the big slice of that profit pie.  Big time!

I was supposed to blog post this yesterday. However, had experienced major problems with my internet broadband due to an major outage around my neighbourhood, so had to leave it till now.

After reading off this Danny Choo’s newsfeed, it worries me for a long while now that Japan’s having one of the lowest birthrates in the world means they’re going to be ‘wiped’ off from this side of the planet, if the government doesn’t do something about it, at this level of urgency. And one of their proposed solution was to manufacture more robots.

Is this right? Is this way forward for Japan’s future of saving its dying population?

Here’s the Youtube documentary video link below to give you a better idea what’s being said…
