Adult Swim apologizes and reschedules episode
Kim Manning, programming director for Adult Swim, issued a public apology earlier today for yesterday's programming change that resulted in the scheduled broadcast of Big O episode 26, the final episode of Big O Season 2, being replaced by episode 20.
The apology, directed at fans of Big O, explained that the programming change was a mistake and not an intentional prank. As the mistake occurred during Adult Swim's simultaneous live Webcam Halloween party many believed that the programming change was another example of the Adult Swim group's very visible sense of humour. During the 12 hours following the error, fans of the show flooded the Adult Swim message boards with complaints, with 3 times as many posts for a normal 12-hour period.
Big O episode 26, "The Show Must Go On," has been re-scheduled for Sunday November 2nd at 11 p.m., displacing the premiere of Family Guy's "Once Upon a Weinstein" episode. Family Guy has been moved to the same time block the following Sunday.

Toriko GN 12The ultimate manly man of the food world has returned, with his muscles bulging and his appetite whetted for ever tastier fare. This twelfth volume of Toriko's gourmet adventures isn't the most consecutive in the series to date, but it does provide plenty of action and exotic eats, both of which are part of what makes Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro's tale so entertaining.

Venus Wars DVDThis popular late '80s movie is back in print for the first time in nine years and looks better than ever. The story may be weak, but is action elements and mechanical designs justify its relatively cheap price.

Fairy Tail GN 20All in all, Fairy Tail's twentieth volume offers a mix of emotional content, humor, and a bit of action, as well as a chance for Mashima to show off his landscape skills and to defy gravity with a couple of Lucy's shirts.
Heaven's Memo Pad Blu-Ray
This 2011 series about a boy who gets involved with a NEET Detective Agency has some silly content but mostly takes its subject matter seriously, resulting in well-written, well-conceived, and sometimes compelling stories.
Resident Evil 6
Resident Evil 6 does have its hints of inspiration, but enthusiasm for these things is difficult to muster, stultified by the congo line of scripted events. Interesting segments exist, but they are in tiny bits and pieces, and the rest of the game is the part where you think "thank god that's over, I never want to do that again."

Sword Art Online eps. 8-14
The main story takes over and leads the eponymous game setting to a surprising resolution as the first story arc completes. Ultimately dramatic key events and broad story themes carry the series despite weak writing.
Space Brothers Episodes 14-26 Streaming
If the drawn-out third stage of Space Brothers' astronaut test tells us anything, it's that the verve of the series' opening shouldn't be taken for granted.
