UPDATE: Mild EleMints has been downloaded over 12000 times :3

First off, Cliché Magazine has been accepted to the App Store, and has almost reached 800 downloads after just a week. This app presents a new, original set of gestures exclusively for viewing a magazine. They were designed to allow a user to stay zoomed in for a short amount of time while they read an article. Landscape, table of contents, quick scrolling, along with other minor features, will be added soon.

EleMints is a continued favorite on the App Store. It has sold over 6000 copies to date, while the free version, Mild EleMints, has been downloaded well over 10000 times since its release. A much anticipated update will be posted to the App Store in about a week, with Isotopes, Equation Balancer, and other, useful things that I don't quite remember off the top of my head :P. Also, Mild EleMints fans will be pleased to hear that there will be an update for the mild version as well, with more info of course :).

In other news, I will also be working with Christian Aubert, creator of SmartFrench, to bring SmartFrench to the iPhone. This program focuses of teaching users the natural and intuitive way of speaking the French language, assuring you won't be laughed at when you visit Paris for the first time. Expect it later this summer.

Finally, I must admit that I have been taking some time off during the past 11 or so weeks watching 「東のエデン」, or Eden of the East in English. From the creator of Ghost in the Shell, this is a must see anime. Two movies are also slated to be released in November of this year and again in 2010. While I'm in Japan (67 more days!), I'll be sure to watch it and report back :P.

For the longest time, I've been watching Code Geass, and I've always wanted others to watch it. It can be best described as a history-themed anime about revolutions and overthrowing an empire the size of a third of the world with a twist of futuristic technology mixed in. As Japan strives to get back their identity, they meet up with a character with much bigger plans. Although only the first season is complete, and the second one being at episode 14, it is definitively a great watch and should be looked into if you get the chance.

This week I have also been introduced to both the anime and manga of Elfen Lied. Probably not very suitable for younger audiences because of fairly realistic gore and sexual references, it is definitely something to watch as the anime contains well done animations and an enriched story line. Lucy, a mutant of sorts bent on killing off the human race who has always treated her as trash, escapes from the research facility where she is being held, and looses all her memories (including those of speech and knowledge of everyday objects) on the way out. You follow her along as she goes in an out of two very different personalities as she fights to find a place on this world. Unfortunately, the anime was started before the manga was finished and contains a slightly different ending, so be sure to check out both if it has grasped you as much as it has done to me.
