“Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles”
Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles is the latest exciting chapter of the Robotech saga. A heroic cast of returning characters, led by Scott Bernard and Vince Grant, fight to end a decades-long struggle against an enigmatic alien race known as the Invid. However, the mysterious disappearance of the legendary Admiral Hunter will unfold in a treacherous mystery that could tear apart our young heroes and threaten their very survival!

“Full Metal Alchemist – The Movie – Conqueror of Shambala”
It is 1923 in Munich . Two years have passed since Edward Elric’s sacrifice ripped him out of his world and into ours, separating him from his younger brother, Alphonse. In that time, Ed’s continued research into rocketry has allied him with Alphonse Heiderich, a fellow researcher who oddly resembles Ed’s brother. Progress has been slow, however, and Ed has become discouraged. But when he saves a quiet Gypsy girl with the power to read minds, Ed is quickly pulled into a plot by the Thule Society and the burgeoning Nazi Party that could drag both worlds into a terrible war. Back in his own world, Al has been unlocking new secrets of alchemy and gaining incredible powers, all in the hopes of finding Ed.

Battling the occult, ideological extremists, and monstrous Homunculi lurking in the shadows, can the brothers find a way to reunite without causing chaos and bloodshed? What will happen when the world of alchemy and the world of modern science collide?

“Lupin the III: The Castle of Cagliostro ”
When master thief Lupin III, a.k.a. "The Wolf," inadvertently steals a fortune in counterfeit bills from a casino, he is quick to realize the high-quality printing plates that made them are worth even more. Tracing the source of the money to the small European country of Cagliostro, Lupin and his team of colorful outlaws cross swords with the local count over his forthcoming marriage to the last princess of the Cagliostro family. It’s a fast-paced adventure as Lupin must battle fearsome ninjas, rescue a damsel in distress and uncover the key to the lost Cagliostro fortune. This is the first feature film written and directed by Academy Award™ winning anime pioneer and visionary Hayao Miyazaki.

“Karas – The Prophecy”
MIKURA IS ON THE RISE AGAIN... Tokyo - a city populated by both humans and by ghostly beings. They exist in both dimensions, seen and unseen: spirits, apparitions, demons. The balance between these two dimensions has long been upheld by the city's guardian raven Karas and his masters. But that balance has been thrown into disarray as Eko, a former Karas, has attempted to seize power and bring order to the streets through force. The entity Yurine, who represents the will of the people, stands in his way with her newly risen Karas. Now an ageless battle stretching across both dimensions and killing humans and spirits alike is in progress between the two sides and their armies. Karas is humanity’s last hope.

National Public Radio on the Danish Islam cartoon controversy - a bibliography

National Public Radio on the Danish Islam cartoon controversy - a bibliography

In September 2005, Danish paper Jyllands-Posten published cartoons of Mohammad, ostensibly to satirize and call attention to the issue that a children’s book about Mohammad could not find an illustrator due to the accepted proscription against depicting the prophet. After several months of attempting to raise interest, Danish Muslims in February were able to draw attention to them – after adding three non-cartoons faked from photographs -- which led to extreme violence in Arab countries. NPR’s coverage was generally excellent, especially Steve Inskeep’s provocative interview with one of the Danish clerics. These citations are in reverse chronological order. Many, but not all of these articles can be found linked at http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5196793. These citations are being compiled for the Comics Research Bibliography by John Bullough & myself at http://www.rpi.edu/~bulloj/comxbib.html.

A new tactic has emerged in the angry debate over cartoons depicting religious figures, as an Israeli artist launches a contest for the best anti-Semitic cartoon -- drawn by a Jew. Amitai Sandy says the Israeli Anti-Semitic Cartoons Contest is a response to an Iranian newspaper's competition for cartoons on the Holocaust.
Sandy, who is also the publisher of Dimona Comix, describes the issue as a matter of pride. He insists that Jews can offer sharper, more offensive satire of themselves than anyone. After the contest's deadline of March 5, 2006, the winners will be displayed in Tel Aviv.

It was only a handful of newspaper cartoons, but it was apparently enough to trigger angry protests - some of them violent - throughout the Middle East and Asia. This week, Bob gets several perspectives on the uproar over the Danish Mohammed caricatures. First, he talks to an American newspaper editor who quit after his bosses refused to reprint the images. Then, he speaks with a law scholar who's worried by the post WW-II European legal tradition of restricting hate speech and "incitement." And finally, he hears from a Middle East historian, who thinks that framing the controversy as a free speech conflict misses the real story.

The Sound and Fury over Danish Cartoons.

Controversy over the publication of cartoons depicting the prophet Mohammed and Muslims continues to roil much of the Islamic world.
On Wednesday, President Bush called on governments to stop the violence as protesters took to the streets in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indian-controlled Kashmir, and in Afghanistan, where police shot and killed four protesters marching on a U.S. military base.
A U.S. military spokesman says the U.S. and other countries are now investigating whether extremist groups are inciting rioters.
But elsewhere, a satirical news magazine in France became the latest to display the cartoons -- plus a few more based on a variety of religions. And the Arab European League, citing the right of artistic expressions, posted a cartoon on its website depicting Hitler in bed with Anne Frank.
Meanwhile, Flemming Rose, the Danish editor who sparked the entire controversy by commissioning the cartoons in the first place, told CNN that he does not regret publishing the original 12 cartoons back in September. And he offered to publish any cartoons on the Holocaust drawn as part of an Iranian newspaper contest.
Also today, listeners to NPR's Morning Edition heard from the leading Danish imam, Ahmed Abu Laban, who led the campaign to bring the published cartoons -- and some even more derogatory ones that were not published -- to the attention of government leaders in the Middle East.
Guests:
Naser Khadar, a member of the Danish Parliament for the Social Liberal Party, which is in opposition to the current government. Khadar,is leading a group of Muslim moderates trying to quell the controversy.
Joe Jofee, the editor and publisher of the Germannews weekly Die Ziet, which last week decided to publish one of the cartoons.

U.S. Media Avoid Publishing Controversial Cartoons.
National Public Radio's Morning Edition (February 7).
online at http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5193569
Riots sparked by the publication of cartoons in a Danish newspaper led to sharp debates in American newsrooms in recent days as editors weighed how far to go in covering this important news.
Ultimately, few U.S. publications have reproduced the offending cartoons, which sparked riots across the Muslim world. These protests have resulted in the death of at least five Afghan protesters and the destruction of the Danish Consulate in Lebanon and the Danish Embassy in Syria.
On Monday morning, Amanda Bennett, editor of The Philadelphia Inquirer, dropped her kids off at school, went to the gym and soon found protesters right outside her office.
"About 25 people came out," Bennett says. "I came down and met with them. I assured them that neither the paper nor I had any interest in being disrespectful to them or to their religion, and I was actually proud of them exercising their freedom of speech to protest in front of my building."
Bennett's newspaper made the decision to run a cartoon depicting the Muslim prophet Muhammad. It was one of the most incendiary ones from a series of 12 cartoons published by the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten last September. Other European papers picked up the cartoons since then and published them, in solidarity with the Danish paper's right to print what it wants. The cartoon in The Philadelphia Inquirer showed a bomb with a lit fuse tucked into the prophet's turban. ...

The furor over the publication of cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed is growing across the Islamic world. In Gaza, armed gunmen surrounded the office of the European Union, firing shots in the air, searching hotels, and threatening violence across westerners unless the cartoons were retracted. Aid workers and other foreigners are pulling out of the region as a result.
The cartoons were originally published in September by a Danish paper -- ostensibly as part of a contest to find a book illustrator.
Some of the images are benign and some are not. One shows Mohammed as a terrorist with a bomb in a turban. The furor escalated this week as other European newspapers printed the cartoons, claiming free speech protections.
Joining us to take about the caricatures and the response they are drawing across the Islamic world is Jyette Klausen, a professor of politics at Brandies University. Klausen is from Denmark and studies the experience of Muslim immigrants.
