| Naruto Pop-Up Shop Features Characters in Futuristic Techwear Posted: 23 Apr 2022 02:00 PM PDT
Medicos Entertainment is hosting a new Naruto Shippuden and Boruto pop-up shop in Japan. The revealed illustrations for the event feature many popular characters from the series wearing glowing futuristic techwear of various colors. The pop-up shop will be open from May 17 to May 31, 2022, at the Shinjuku Marui Annex Medicos store. The featured illustrations include a total of nine characters in the "cyber" style. These characters include Itachi, Gaara, Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura, Shikamaru, Kakashi, Mitsuki, and Boruto. Each character has an associated color and unique clothing choices, as well as futuristic ninja weapons like kunai and katana. https://twitter.com/medicos_et_02/status/1517337397725470721 While it's unclear what products will be available at the pop-up shop, Medicos said that it will sell new items featuring the above illustrations. It will also sell nine limited-edition cards. The company will also make these products purchasable via the Medicos Online Shop. Medicos will reveal said products at a later date. Finally, full-scale panel boards of each character will also appear at the store. Earlier this month, G Fuel revealed a Naruto miso ramen-flavored drink as part of April Fools. It also sells a normal peach and pomelo drink. The Naruto Shippuden and Boruto pop-up shop will open on May 17, 2022, and end on May 31, 2022. It will appear in the Medicos store at Shinjuku Marui Annex. The post Naruto Pop-Up Shop Features Characters in Futuristic Techwear appeared first on Siliconera. |
| The Demon Slayer Coloring Book Focuses on Certain Characters Posted: 23 Apr 2022 12:00 PM PDT
Coloring books can be a soothing thing. Given how stressful the day-to-day can be, taking a moment to fill in images of familiar faces can be a way to have a moment. Or, if perhaps you aren't artistically inclined, customize a beloved hero. So as someone might expect, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: The Official Coloring Book is a chance to spend time with beloved characters. It's a generally pleasant experience, though not every page might be perfect and Tanjiro Kamado and his core group get the most attention.
A lot of it is going to look familiar too! You know how in manga volumes, you'll sometimes see small character art between chapters? Well, as I went through the book, I saw some images that felt familiar. This means occasional omake art that could be out of character or whimsical. Though don't worry! Most of the art is the people as you remember. But it's fun to suddenly see, say, baby Tanjiro and Nezuko dressed in the outfits they wear in the series or Nezuko and Makomo in school uniforms. These images tend to be arranged in such a way that you can really appreciate and have enough space to do them justice while coloring them. What I also really appreciated were the actual pages taken straight from the manga. These include the actual dialogue boxes. However, the pages are blown up so, if someone desired, they could provide the proper shading and context for each one. There's an opportunity to really go all out to ensure everything looks incredible. Though if someone does want to take a more simplistic approach, I imagine that would look quite good too. You also will see a few covers in there, such as the one from the first volume. Which means you can take a different approach from the original designs.
There are also some situations in which the line art might not be as complex. For example, I noticed Demon Slayer coloring pages with Giyu Tomioka, Shinobu Kocho, Muichiro Tokito, and Obanai Iguro would have less elaborate hair. Perhaps because originally these characters' hair or uniforms are primarily black? It can happen with some Nezuko pages too, which makes sense. But if you have a page which features one of them and a more detailed character, like one that pairs Giyu and Tanjiro for a single page, it feels disjointed. Generally, though, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: The Official Coloring Book accomplishes everything someone would expect. It prioritizes major characters. It features Gotouge's art. You're getting chances to color in covers, panels, and single pieces of art with important people. There are some pages that might not be perfect. But as long as you have your own pens and get creative, you could probably make any one of them look pretty good. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: The Official Coloring Book is now available outside Japan. The anime is streaming on Crunchyroll, and Viz Media localized the manga.

| Amane Kanata Scale Figure is in Development Posted: 23 Apr 2022 10:00 AM PDT
A scale figure of Hololive VTuber Amane Kanata is in development. Revolve will be in charge of its production. More details on its release window will appear in the near future. Kanata herself announced news of this upcoming figure during her 3D live concert, which took place on April 22, 2022. [Thanks, Hobby Watch!] Kanata is a fourth generation member of Hololive. She will be the first from her generation to appear as a scale figure. Similarly, the Kanata scale figure will be the first Hololive scale figure from Revolve. As the figure is in the early stage of development, there are no pictures of the prototype just yet. If the picture on the announcement will match the figure's pose, though, it seems that the Kanata figure will have her reaching her arms out, with her wings spread. Earlier this year, in February 2022, the person behind Kanata announced that she had tested positive for COVID-19. After this announcement, Kanata mostly posted short videos updating her followers on symptoms, as well as confirming that she is still alive. In April 2022, she released song covers, such as one of "Phony," and streamed, which seems to show that she is recovering. The Amane Kanata figure is in development. More news on its release window and pricing will appear in the near future. The post Amane Kanata Scale Figure is in Development appeared first on Siliconera. |

| Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes Early Story Details Shared Posted: 23 Apr 2022 06:00 AM PDT
Nintendo shared some details involving the early story of Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. Notably, it revealed that the protagonist will join one of the three student houses at the beginning of the game. The player's choice will affect the perspective of the game's storyline. Similar to its predecessor, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, players will join one of the three main student houses of the series: Black Eagles, Blue Lions, or Golden Deer. Unlike Three Houses in which protagonist Byleth started as a teacher, though? Players will instead join as a student at the start of the story. As each student house is loyal to a specific nation, this choice will dictate from which perspective the story plays out. The Black Eagles will follow the Adrestian Empire. The Blue Lions will follow the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus. Finally, the Golden Deer will follow the Leicester Alliance. https://twitter.com/FireEmblemMusou/status/1517427996155691012 Nintendo briefly expanded upon each of these story routes in an earlier Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes story trailer,introducing main character Shez. Byleth made an appearance in that same trailer as "The Ashen Demon." Furthermore, Nintendo revealed that players will be able to choose Byleth's gender similar to Shez. As Byleth was a teacher at one of the three student houses, they could be the reason why Shez eventually becomes a student. Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes will release for the Nintendo Switch on June 24, 2022. The post Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes Early Story Details Shared appeared first on Siliconera. |
