    Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva is the anime installment of Level-5's fantastic DS series. I haven't yet seen this feature film, but the press release provides the following summary:

    Professor Layton, a true English gentleman, renowned archaeologist, and the world's greatest amateur super sleuth, sets out on his most daring adventure yet! A letter from Janice Quatlane, his old student and now a famous opera diva, draws the Professor and his loyal assistant Luke to the legendary Crown Petone Opera House to investigate a mysterious occurrences at the theater. Meanwhile, a rash of disappearances of young school girls hits London... How are these two mysteries related to each other, and to the secret of Eternal Life?!

    The DVD will be available next week, and you can purchase it here.

    At New York Comic-Con, Viz Media announced that they will be publishing a new digital-exclusive manga magazine: Weekly Shonen Jump Alpha. The new effort will feature translated chapters of popular series like One Piece, Bleach, and Naruto only two weeks after they are released in Japan's Weekly Shonen Jump.

    The new publication will be accessible via the Viz Manga app and their website. Readers will have the option of purchasing a year-long subscription for $25.99 or can rent issues for a for-week window for $0.99. This announcement is great news for manga fans who have felt left out, and shows the disruptive power of digital distribution to help get content to interested people quicker and cheaper.
