For anyone who's ever come up with a good story for a manga and has never been able to put it on paper because they have the drawing skills of a cooked duck (like me), check this out...
"ComiPo! Program Makes Manga for "People Who Can't Draw"
The Tokyo-based software company Web Technology *** Corporation announced on Friday a new piece of Windows software called ComiPo!, which allows users to create their own manga with pre-created 3D characters and settings. According to the company, even "people who can't draw" can create manga with this software.
Manga creator Keiichi Tanaka (Minori no Seishun, Doctor Chichibuyama) is currently the company's General Manager & Solution Sales Division, while Even A Monkey Can Draw Manga's Kentaro Takekuma consulted on the software's development.
Character designer Kumi Horii (Seitokai no Ichizon, Zone of the Enders) created the built-in character models. These models, along with the backgrounds, are available in 3D, allowing the users to shift the angles of either when designing their manga's panels. Users can also customize Horii's designs with different hairstyles, hair color, eyes, expressions, clothing, and other features. Users will be able to import their own original designs into the program; however, Tanaka told Otaku USA Editor-in-Chief Patrick Macias that the 3D modeling software will not be included at launch, but debut in a later version.
ComiPo! features a female character, 17-year-old Miho "Comipo-chan" Koishikawa, who gives advice to the users. Sayaka Nakaya (Usaru-san) of the female idol group AKB48 voices the character. As leader of the "ComiPo! Supporters," she will record the dialogue that will accompany a weekly one-panel manga starting in December.

Also in the works are translated versions of the software in multiple languages, including English, and a Flash-based version of the software. Tanaka said that the company expects the software to be popular both with casual users interested in visual storytelling, and with professional manga creators who need help with layouts and other work typically done by assistants.
Macias reports that users will be permitted to "make manga for limited business applications (such as fliers)," but that Web Technology *** retains the copyrights to all of the models within the program. A free open beta will be available for the Japanese-language version in November, with the software's full release in mid-December. At the formal launch, there will be three purchasing options: a free, limited version; a downloadable version (6,700 yen or about US$83.00); and a "deluxe" package in stores (9,700 yen/US$120.00).
Web Technology *** has launched an official website and a You Tube account for the new software. The company is currently streaming a five-minute demo.
The Japanese content agency Dopamin released Tanaka's Minari no Seishun manga in English for the Android mobile phone app market in June.

It sounds alot like that game "the movies", just with the actual gameplay cut out of it so that only the movie creator system was left (and who honestly actually cared about the gameplay anyways?). Its pretty expensive, but i am SO buying this when it becomes available.
With the 3D modelling though. Does that mean theres going to be a second version of the same software with it included, or will it be coming in an expansion????
Also, this coming from japan and all, whats the betting you can swivel the camera up the girls skirts :P . I predict a large amount of amateur ecchi manga will begin circulation on the internet starting next year...

I lost interest in shiki after the first 6 episodes or so. To much of the time its just uninteresting characters walking around talking to other uninteresting characters, and because they basically fed you the first mysteries solution so early, there inst any intrigue left to keep me watching it.
In other news, ive been reading the visual novel "chaos;head". Interesting (if strange) premise, but the story reminds me exatly why i hate books where there's a detective who does alot and isnt the main character.
Said detective can just "discover" something at any given time to advance the plot without any explination as to how they made their deductions, so if your trying to keep track of the whole mystery there are alot of grey areas.
One second the detective is looking into it from a purely "everyday homocide" type view, then next thing you know he's swinging pendulums around and going on about GE rates and elliptical gravity...i dont get it.

Alright, its been a good 3 months since I've posted.
Recently I've been re-watching Full Metal Panic since I purchased the complete collection last night at my local Best Buy. Now that I'm in the FMP mood im probably going to go back and purchase Full Metal Panic Fumoffu and Full Metal Panic the Second Raid since I haven't seen either of those yet.
As far as other shows go I haven't really watched anything in a few months. I started Kanon and Air tv but failed to finish either. I've actually been reading a lot of manga recently. I bought up to volume 17 of One Piece and up to volume 3 of Black Cat. Really enjoying them both. I highly reccomend Black Cat the anime and the manga series to anyone.
Well thats enough from me,
