posted on 2010-11-22 03:23 EST
The official website for the 10th anniversary of TV Tokyo's Yu-Gi-Oh! anime franchise confirmed on Saturday the opening date for Yu-Gi-Oh! 3D: Bonds Beyond Time (Gekijō-ban Yu-Gi-Oh! ~Chō-Yūgō! Jikū o Koeta Kizuna) in the United States next year. The digital cinema developer and distributor Cinedigm will run the 49-minute film in about 250 theaters in the United States on February 26 and 27, and again on March 5 and 6. There are also plans to release the film in Europe and Asia afterwards.
4Kids Entertainment had already announced in September that it would release the film in stereoscopic 3D theaters and on home video worldwide in 2011. To commemorate the worldwide opening, the film will return to Japanese theaters on February 26 as well. The encore Japanese run will add about 10 minutes of 2D special footage.
The film's story features the main heroes of all three TV Tokyo anime series: Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters' Yuugi Mutou, Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monster GX's Judai Yuki, and the ongoing Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Yūsei Fudō. The story brought together the three heroes to fight Paradox, a powerful new enemy who appeared for the first time in the film.
The 2004 Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Movie remains the #3 Japanese-animated film in North America, below Pokemon: The First Movie and Pokemon 2000 - The Movie.

This week's Answerman column answers the one question that's been at the heart of every human being, young or old, since the dawn of time: just how frequently does Brad Pitt check his French fanmail? There's also some questions about Funimation's "war on fansubs" and Japan's "lack" of CGI features too, I guess. And Answerfans. 2011-01-28

This final volume doesn't make up for the series' often slapdash execution, but it does bring Peepo Choo's stronger points to a predominantly satisfying finish by continuing to explore the culture shock they share.

This book's title speaks for itself like an apology from the artist. Either stagnant and predictable, or unnerving and unpleasant, there's little to recommend about this boring batch of tropes that falls short of even making fun of itself.
Black Butler makes no effort whatsoever to respect the restraints of British literature and instead favors the Stones approach and paints it all black. The series shifts from Dorian Grey to Monty Python in Sebastian's dark pastiche, where he chuckles at lost souls amongst the uppercrust and gutter-
