The Morning After: Friday, February 10 2017
Welcome to the end of the week. Read how the new FCC chairman is already making moves when it comes to net neutrality and cable TV reform, Samsung's new (expensive) 4K TVs and how hundreds of thousands of artworks are free online, courtesy of the Met. Oh and the secret to dancing is that it's all in the hips. Science says so.
This transforming phone is all heart, no brains
In Japan, people still use feature phones. But despite the smartphone revolution, dumb phone innovation is not dead. Not when a phone can magically, (Transformer-ly) convert from a heart shape into something approaching a chubby handset you can actually talk into. Imaginatively titled "Heart", it'll come to Nihon in both red and black options, and according to our Japan team, weighs a mere 54 grams. Curiously, it doesn't launch until after Valentines' Day (late March), but when it does arrive, the phone will also come with in a special Sailor Moon iteration, with magical wand dangly accessory and livery.
Sailor Moon arrives on Hulu Plus in its full, uncensored glory
Raise your hand if you remember that anime from the '90s called Sailor Moon -- now put that hand down and fire up Hulu if you want to see the show's female warriors kick ass on screen again. Apparently, the company recently cut a deal to stream a remastered version of all 200 Sailor Moon episodes, full and uncensored. Yes, that means you'll finally see all the elements that were infamously butchered during the series' first run on US TV. In addition to all the existing episodes, the deal will also include the Sailor Moon remake that'll start airing later this year, three feature films and various specials. Hulu might not be the friendliest to VPN-using international customers, but the company's been creating originals and signing up exclusives to grow its user base. With a new Sailor Moon show on the horizon, picking the title up is a good way to drum up interest in the service's anime portal, which features several other popular series you've probably heard of -- like Pokémon.
Rumor: Namco to bring Sailor Moon to the Wii
Rumor has it that the Japanese anime from the 90's Sailor Moon could be getting a game on the Wii. This rumor comes from a game listing that originated at YesAsia, showing a release date of December 31st for Japan, with Namco set to publish. With no other information on the title, we're left to speculate on what exactly the game will include.And speculate we will! We imagine the Wiimote acting as Sailor Moon's wand, waving about like a total loon as we summon cosmic powers of unequalled strength. In battling foes (can you tell we never saw the show yet?), we will be thrust into many a battle, vanquishing foes and saving the land for all of time. What do you imagine the game could be like?[via Cubed3]
