Interest Kayako & Sadako Now Haunting the Virtual Realm
posted on 2016-11-23 14:47 EST by Lynzee Loveridge
The Ring series' Sadako and The Grudge series' Kayako are moving on from the realm of the living to haunt virtual reality. From December 2-4 and December 9-25 at Laforet Harajuku, Hybrid Mind Market will hold a virtual reality experience featuring the spooky stars of Sadako VS Kayako to celebrate the film's home video release.
The VR simulation recreates Kayako's house where the user is attacked by both the ghosts as well as Toshio in full 3DCG.
While the film was in theaters, Sadako and Kayako worked hard promoting their upcoming film, whether its trying out professional baseball, teaming up with Hello Kitty, competing in a horse race, scaring up votes on Twitter, teaching theater etiquette, or just hanging out for a cold drink.

"Who Is The Next Hayao Miyazaki?"

Seems like every new anime director with half a success gets called "the next Miyazaki". Kevin Cirugeda considers the most common "Next Miyazakis", and why that title is totally dubious.
― If every anime viewer were to write a shortlist of the most essential creators in the industry, I have no doubt that Hayao Miyazaki would receive the most mentions with a massive lead over everyone else. And that's...

Sword Art Online: Progressive Novel 4
novels
A long-overdue split between Kirito and Asuna's viewpoints results in the best and most complete novel of the series to date. Theron Martin dives in.
― Volumes 2 and 3 of the Progressive series were told entirely from Kirito's viewpoint, which I felt was a disservice to his co-star Asuna. That changes with this volume, making it the best and most complete story to date for this branch of the franchis...
