iPhone Apps! Shin Chan & FMA

Published at: 03:03 pm - Wednesday March 17 2010 by Rojas

Price:  $0.99

Description:

Integrate the antics of the Shin-Chan anime characters into your photos with the new Shin-Chan Picture Stamp app from Appliya and FUNimation. Create a funny pose with Action Bastard, or have Shin do his famous “a*s dance” in the photo you just took. The Shin-Chan Picture Stamp app allows you to make any picture more interesting with Shin and his friends and family.

Place “stamp” pics of characters from Shin-Chan on top of pictures you take with your iPhone. Like sticker-pictures, you can create a new image and save it for use as a wallpaper or share it with your friends. You can choose from 80 character images from the Shin-chan show, with a number of images of Shin in various costumes, including his famous frog suit. Once an image is picked, you can  move, rotate, and scale the character image on top of your original photo. You can add as many character stamps to your photos as you like.”

Share your Shin-Chan-ified creations on our Flickr Group: http://www.flickr.com/groups/funimation/ and I’ll get them posted to the blog.  w00t!

Countdown to Take-Off: T-minus 4… 3…

Published at: 05:03 pm - Tuesday March 16 2010 by Rojas

2 weeks left until the launch of Strike Witches on DVD on March 30th (Pre-order TODAY!).

With all the happenings of last week, we ended up skipping over the third panty “aeroplane”, as Lieutenant Anomay puts it. Scoop up both the third and fourth PDFs to fold up your own planes. I challenge one of you to make a pretty mobile with all the planes on it. Maybe I’d even be willing to throw in a Strike Witches DVD as motivation.

Find out more about the War on Pants in these posts and videos.

Download the panty paper airplane PDF and take some photos of your finished planes in action.
Share them on our Flickr page: Flickr.com/groups/FUNimation.
Or upload videos to YouTube and link them in the comments.

This week’s featured paper airplane is:

Lynette Bishop

and

Perrine H. Clostermann
