Netflix is going all in on anime as they add the eagerly anticipated Godzilla movie and 12 other projects to their slate of upcoming programming. Deadline says in addition to the series the network is also overseeing the development of Cannon Busters, Devilman Crybaby, B: The Beginning, and Knights Of The Zodiac: Saint Seiya just to name a few.
The Godzilla and Saint Seiya grabs really show that Netflix is working to grab their Western audience who loves anime, but with competitors like Crunchyroll and Funimation (who was recently bought by Sony) in the mix, who knows if they'll be able to compete on that front. Time will tell, but the addition of so many projects seems promising for the future of anime on the platform.
Below you'll find details photos and some trailer for the anime projects that Netflix has picked up!

There are many famous crossovers in gaming history, and whilst many of them are flawed, some (such as Marvel vs Capcom 2, Battletoads vs. Double Dragon and many more) are sublime. I’d never played either an Accel World or a Sword Art Online game when I came into Accel World vs Sword Art Online, so I entered it with an open mind, and I’ve spent a fair few hours over the past few days in researching both series.
Both Accel World and Sword Art Online were created by Reki Kawahara, and feature a back catalogue of Manga comics and cartoons that deal with fairly light, adventurous plots and themes. Both focus heavily on the advanced, virtual reality worlds that are present in each fiction and, I discovered, fans of Kawahara have long suspected that the worlds crossed over anyway. It isn’t even a massive spoiler for me to...

Much like God Eater 2: Rage Burst and God Eater: Resurrection before it, Bandai Namco is bringing Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization to the west in 2016, when it will launch across both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita.
Pitched as a new beginning for the Sao series, Hollow Realization acts as the fourth mainline console installment from Bandai and will be based on characters introduced in Reki Kawahara’s über-popular light novel series. As such, expect Kirito and Asuna to return to the fold, with the developers teasing a batch of new characters that are yet to make their Sword Art debut in a video game.
“The Sword Art Online franchise has experienced incredible growth in popularity on a global level with light-novel and anime fans,” Bandai Namco America marketing executive Eric Hartness said in a statement. “With Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization, we’re striving to take fans even...

The fourth installment of the Sword Art Online video game series, Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization, will be arriving on Playstation 4 and Playstation Vita sometime in 2016, according to publisher Bandai Namco.
The announcement, which was made this weekend at the yearly Dengei Bunko Fall Festival, comes only weeks before the North American release date for Sword Art Online: Lost Song, which is expected to hit Playstation 4 and Playstation Vita consoles on November 17.
There’s no confirmation or guarantee that Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization will even arrive stateside at all, but given the success of 2014’s Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment in the U.S. and the anticipation for the upcoming Sword Art Online: Lost Song, it’s a safe bet that this next iteration will be localized for the American market, too.

The luxurious banquet hall in Toronto’s Royal York hotel was electric with excitement as Tiff senior programmers including Steve Gravestock and Agata Smoluch Del Sorbo announced the robust lineup of Canadian films (several world preems) at this year’s Tiff plus the 40+ short titles (out of an astounding 840 short films — an increase of over 200 titles from last year) that will screen at the prestigious festival.

If you're in for an entertaining and fast-paced drama, don't even think about renting Lost Song. Although the story is fairly well written, Rodrigue Jean's film is frustrating to watch because of its execution. Yet, it doesn't prevent this independent film to possess some qualities.
Pierre (Patrick Goyette) and Elisabeth (Suzie LeBlanc), a couple in their thirties, move with their newborn son into a cottage on a lake for the summer. While Elisabeth stays at the cottage to rehearses for an upcoming voice recital, Pierre goes to work in the city. Obviously, Elisabeth is not alone since Pierre's mom lives in the neighbouring cottage and is willing to help Elisabeth at times. However, Elisabeth feels isolated, overwhelmed by her maternal responsibilities and distressed. Besides, Elisabeth's entourage doesn't seem to get that.
Honestly, if I knew how Lost Song is like, I wouldn't have bothered to watch it in the first place.

Wrapping up the 33rd Annual Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday, September 13, a list of movies have been awarded with special prizes. Among the event's winners was "Slumdog Millionaire", a drama about an Indian teenager who is about to be a millionaire.
Considered to be an underdog, the Danny Boyle-directed movie brought home the Cadillac People's Choice Award as well as the $15,000 prize, beating out Kristopher Belman's "More Than a Game" and Cyrus Nowrasteh's "The Stoning of Soraya M.". Upon winning the award, one of the film's stars, Freida Pinto, expressed her excitement, "It was an exhilarating feeling. When they clapped and gasped and literally went ga-ga over the last dance sequence, it was a wonderful feeling...I was shaking."
Beside "Millionaire", other winner include Marie-Helene Cousineau and Madeline Piujuq Ivalu's drama "Before Tomorrow" and Rodrigue Jean's "Lost Song". While "Tomorrow" took the kudo for Best Canadian First Feature Film,...

It's not a guarantee of anything in the down the line, although other films to win the honor include Chariots of Fire, American Beauty, Life is Beautiful and Hotel Rwanda, so the future for Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire might be pretty bright after winning the Toronto International Film Festival's People's Choice Award on Saturday.
The film gained notoriety earlier in the festival for a completely unrelated reason; at a screening of Slumdog, New York Post critic Lou Lumenick swatted Roger Ebert with a binder when Ebert tried to get his colleague's attention to move out of the way so Roger could read subtitiles.
The story revolves around a young man living in poverty in India who becomes a contestant on a version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire not for his own financial gain but to prove his devotion for a friend, who is a big fan of the show.

Toronto -- Piers Handling, Toronto International Film Festival co-director, says blame the lunar calendar, not Venice boss Marco Mueller for a decision by the Italian festival to shift its dates next year closer to those of Toronto.
"There is zero friction between Toronto and Venice," Handling said Saturday after Danny Boyle's high-octane Indian drama "Slumdog Millionaire" picked up the People's Choice Award in Toronto, voted on by festival audiences.
Handling insisted Toronto and Venice will continue on the same calendar cycle followed for more than 15 years, with his own event keeping to its customary kickoff on the first Thursday after Labor Day.
Toronto started this year on Sept. 4, and Labor Day will fall on Sept. 7 in 2009. "Some of Marco's comments in Venice have perhaps been misconstrued to (mean) 2011," when the rival festival will open on Sept. 2, Handling said. He insisted Fiapf, the regulating organization for international film festivals, would...
