Distant are a band that are very open about their love of all things nerdy. From video games to anime, the band will leave little hints throughout their conceptual albums that keen listeners can draw back to some of their favorite franchises. Vocalist Alan Grnja has helped to drive the anime inclusion into the band’s aesthetic since he joined. I spoke with Alan to learn more about how he is able to merge the kawaii with the 'core. Have you had any time in your busy touring schedule over the last 18 months to catch up on anime? Alan Grnja : 100 percent. Especially on the drives between states. That’s when I have time to throw things on the screen. Like I finished and caught up with the past three anime seasons on the last run. That is incredible. What was your favorite thing you watched last year? Grnja :...

Photo by Spencer Chamberlain Wilkes-Barre is a tight knit community with a thriving hardcore scene. One of the bands proudly carrying the scene forward and gaining worldwide attention is One Step Closer, who blend myriad influences into catchy, driving and fun songs. One of those influences is anime, and guitarist Ross Thompson is constantly getting ideas, especially for merch, from everyone’s favorite medium. We chatted with Ross about their new record All You Embrace (which is out now), the impeccable drip of Initial D , the community aspect of hardcore, anime, and his hometown. You've been traveling all over North America the past few months. How has that tour been? Ross Thompson : Yeah, it's been like nonstop. Right now we're home for about two months. So it's nice to kind of shut my eyes and take a little break from One Step Closer for a minute, which is nice.

Japanese automotive giant Toyota is set to debut a brand-new anime series titled Grip. Scheduled for release on Feb 26, 2024, the five-episode series will be available weekly on Toyota’s official website.
The anime series is produced by Long Beach-based marketing agency Intertrend, and aims to use the essence of Japanese animation with Toyota’s renowned Gazoo Racing motorsport division, to capture both Gen-z and young Asian-American demographics.
A new trailer was revealed to commemorate the announcement.
The series follows protagonist Jae Kang and his companions as they navigate a futuristic metropolis controlled by the tech conglomerate SynthCorp.

Everyone loves fun car films. With Fast X spawning a spin-off and sequel and Gran Tusimo (out on VOD Tuesday) doing decent business at the box office, the genre isn’t going anywhere. We thought now would be a good time to check out some less-known (or underrated) entries into the genre.

We’re going to cheat right off the start by counting this whole series and one entry on this list. The films here are action-comedy classics for fans of French movies and those who love a good car stunt. The first established the characters, but the second is possibly the best of the bunch. Only die-hard fans will want to bother from the third to the fourth to the fifth. However, those first two are worth seeking out what the French do with a modified Peugeot 406, the vacation town of Nice, and a cast that most will recognize from other movies.

Chow's 'CJ7' shakes up cell phones
HONG KONG -- New Stephen Chow comedy "CJ7", which cleaned up at the local boxoffice during the Chinese New Year holiday period, is providing the inspiration for the world's first film-inspired, motion-sensing mobile phone game, Sony Pictures Television International and Sony Ericsson said Tuesday.
"The high penetration rate of mobile phones in Asia presents us with a growing market for our branded movie and TV-based mobile content," said Rosemary Tan, SPTI's director of mobile entertainment Asia. "The CJ7 mobile pack is a vivid example of our dedicated effort in developing cutting edge mobile content,"
The plot of "CJ7" revolves around a struggling man who discovers the titular alien in a garbage dump one night and presents it to his son as a toy. In the mobile game, users must care for and look after the daily needs of CJ7.
The "E.T".-inspired CJ7 is the first CGI character in a Chinese-language film. It was created by Hong Kong's Menfond Electronic Art, whose portfolio includes "Initial D", "A Chinese Tall Story" and "Fearless".
Rather than use the keypad to control the action of the game, the user need only shake their mobile telephone.

'D' top score in Hong Kong
HONG KONG -- A Christmas push from a boy wizard and a giant ape failed to push Media Asia's Initial D off the top rung of Hong Kong's 2005 boxoffice chart, according to figures released by the Hong Kong, Kowloon and New Territories Motion Picture Industry Assn. Harry Potter knocked Pixar's The Incredibles off its second spot with $4.48 million after 10 days of release, while King Kong lumbered into fourth place with $3.92 million. Both Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and King Kong are still in release. Tom Cruise's War of the Worlds managed fifth place with $3.02 million, just slightly ahead of Mr & Mrs Smith which took $2.98 million. These were followed by Howl's Moving Castle, Madagascar and Constantine.

'Initial' estimates: No. 1 in HK
HONG KONG -- Media Asia's Initial D topped the Hong Kong boxoffice for the year through Dec. 16 with a gross of $4.85 million, according to figures released by the Hong Kong, Kowloon and New Territories Motion Picture Industry Assn. The adaptation of a popular Japanese manga of the same name was released during the summer and featured the film debut of Taiwanese singing heartthrob Jay Chou. Chou played a tofu delivery boy with an inherent talent for car racing. Hong Kong's top grosser for 2005 was a steep drop from last year's boxoffice champion Kung Fu Hustle, which became the highest-grossing Hong Kong production of all time with a take of $7.69 million.
