Tim Burton to Direct DUMBO
http://collider.com/dumbo-tim-burton/

This is not directed at Burton. I think if anyone could capture the bullet points, he's the man. But PLEASE NO. The original is such a highlight. Just thinking about it makes me well up. Pure beauty and emotion. And yeah, the crows. In the context of the original they make sense, despite their rough edges. So what do you do now? write them out? Soften them(in my opinion that is almost as racist as the original depiction is considered). Some things you just cannot make any better. This actually hurts my heart.
 
The Wachowskis doing Akira? Ugh! I don't think they might be doing much after that Jupiter Ascending, debacle, lol.

Can Tim Burton just direct an Operation Dumbo Drop remake? Haha. Ugh! The idea of a Burton Dumbo is so much fail.
 
‘The Simpsons’ Closing Credits Featured This Touching Tribute To Sam Simon
http://uproxx.com/tv/2015/03/simpsons-sam-simon-tribute/

Hurm. I found the 'tribute' to be slight at best. No surprise considering the contentious relationship between Groening and Simon. Basically Simon was bought out and there has always been a feeling that he claimed too much responsibility for the success of the show. Still, was nice to see regardless...

Interesting.
 
Any fans of Gurren Lagann and in particular, the team of Hiroyuki Imaishi and Kazuki Nakashima, go ahead and give Kill La Kill a shot. A story about a girl out for revenge and using half a scissors blade to do so--sounds dubious, but I am half way through and am completely hooked.

GL and KLK are ****ing gold.

One we've gotten into here recently is Sword Art Online. Neat premise: Immersive VR MMORPG played via direct nerve connection where players get trapped by the game's maker. If they die in-game, they die in real life.

SAO is one of my favourite animes. I had a small problem with the direction of the 2nd half of the season, but overall, a great show. We just finished SAO II over the weekend. Again, two great story arcs to follow--we are looking forward to a season 3.
As far as the gamer getting caught within the game genre, please give a look to Log Horizon. Basically the same premise as Sword Art, but it goes in a very different direction. I believe season 2 just finished airing in Japan and is available on Crunchyroll.

Lastly, we are giving No Game No Life a try. Just watched the first episode; animation is beautiful and what could be a really good story.
