It’s been rumored to be in the works for awhile, but according to the email I received just a little while ago, PS3 owners can finally look foward to an end to all those lonely nights of crying themselves to sleep because they couldn’t watch Netflix on their console like those cool Xbox 360 kids next door. Yes, it’s true. Playstation owners will finally become apart of the in-crowd when they gain access to Netflix’s online streaming library of films and TV shows next month.

According to an article posted on ICv2 this morning, AMC has purchased the rights to make a TV series based on the zombie comic book series, The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman. The series, which follows the day to day struggles of a small band of everyday people trying to stay alive in the wake of a zombie apocalypse, would be written, directed and produced by three time oscar winner, Frank Darabont.

No word yet on when casting or production will begin, but it’s safe to assume that zombie nerds like my wife and I are suitably stoked to see this project come to fruition. Despite the pedigree of the individuals involved in the project so far, I still have deep reservations concerning AMC’s potential handling of the dark, violent and extremely gory content that is prevalent through out the series.

Just got a press release from Nozomi Entertainment (a.k.a. The Right Stuf) stating that they will be blessing us lowly otaku with even more ARIA sometime next year. They also announced that they plan to release both seasons one and two of Junjo Romantica as well as season one of Antique Bakery.

Although I’m quite pleased that the final season of ARIA will be seeing a stateside release next year, I’m a little disappointed that an HD option isn’t available. As for the two yaoi releases on the list, I’ve seen a few fansub episodes of Junjo Romantica to date. While the sight of two chicks with penises men holding each other close while pink flowers float around them isn’t really my thing, my wife and I found it charming enough that I’ll probably end up renting it from Netflix when it’s released. As for Antique Bakery, well I don’t know anything about it, but I’m sure there’s quite a few lewd jokes out there that could be made involving bread and gay sex. Since I run a classy website here, I’ll refrain from making such jokes and allow you to come up with some of your own.

Hit the jump to read the full press release complete with descriptions of all three series as well as release dates for several previously announced items.

Alas, saying goodbye is so hard to do sometimes. Although I’m grateful that Futurama finally got the send off it deserved, I’m quite bitter that it had to end at all. Still, I guess I should be glad that the crew of Planet Express got the chance to go out at the top of their game, rather then devolving into mediocre dreck like Family Guy and The Simpsons.
