My Melody was created by Sanrio, and the toys for her came out a couple of years after Hello Kitty debuted. Another director with a great range is Shinichiro Kimura. He directed the overly ecchi show Popotan and the completely kid-friendly A Little Snow Fairy Sugar. Coming later this week on A7 Anime on Crack Review: Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan.

I was doing some editing over at the Anime News Network Encyclopedia today and checked out the information on director Makoto Moriwaki. You're not gonna believe what he's currently working on...

According to some reports, Hogan will work on a limited schedule, depending on the condition of his hip. Meanwhile, if you missed RAW, HHH got humiliated once again by Benoit as the Crippler made him tap out to the Sharpshooter. While that's good news, it also means Benoit will job to Edge again.

Semper Fi, dude. Congratulations.

Here's a crash that will leave a mark on anyone's bank account.

Yeah, it's a sad sight to see an exotic end up like that, but I've seen far worse over at Wrecked Exotics (the Ogrish.com of cars). The site even has at least four Enzos and a Koenigsegg CCR totaled.

Cool kit. Actually looks like a diecast. As for the Integra, get the Fujimi. Revell kits, for the most part, are crap. But then again, you already knew that. If you're gonna do an Enzo kit, get the Tamiya one. Revell, once again, is out of the question.

What brand?

Wow...and right about this time, I was trying to recover from seeing Adam Warren's Cowboy Bebop artwork.

Is that a diecast model or plastic kit?

Yet another wrestler has left us. From WWE.com: And from NWA-TNA:

Minis look cool, but I've read that they're pretty unreliable. For the same price, you're better off with a 2005 Mustang.

Consumer Reports also said the Ford Focus is the best small car in the U.S. That's why you should take them with a grain of salt.

Personally, I couldn't agree more. Scions make perfect commuter and carpool vehicles, especially with their high fuel efficiency. But you're also right about the xA and xB missing their target market.

If you think that's bad, Nissan is planning to release their Cube into the U.S. market next year.

Hey, if it doesn't suck, don't buy it. Way to pricey, though.

This week in wrestling news, courtesy of TopWrestling.com: The wrestler formerly known as Goldust is in trouble with the law. Also, if you missed the NWA-TNA PPV LockDown this past Sunday, consider yourself lucky. For the most part, it was the worst PPV this year. The only major highlight was Chris Candido twisting his ankle (a la Sid Vicious) when Sonny Siaki did a cross-body block on him and he fell on his leg.

If you hate the Scion xB, you may want to grab your pitchforks if Toyota decides to build this one. (When directly replying to this quote, make sure to remove the IMG tags before posting your reply.) From Car and Driver magazine:
