  Back in 2001, two very different movies were premiering in Japan at the same time:  Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack  and Hamtaro: Adventures in Ham-Ham Land . The films joined forces for mash-up advertising under the name "Godziham-kun," and it worked. Twenty years later, they're bringing back the line back with new goods and variants.   Prominently featured are the gold and silver Godziham-kun plushies, originally sold to celebrate 2002's  Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla . The red, green, and blue variants will be back as well:     The plushies include removable Godzilla hoods, so you can see Hamtaro's adorable ears:     If you can't get enough of those Mecha-Godziham toys, you can also get them as banks:     Godziham-kun has his own shirts now, too — including one featuring  kaiju  comic book artist  Matt Frank 's realistic take on the mascot.

Image via Dragon Age's initial  announcement  of the series   This month saw both the first chapter debut and the prompt cancellation of Isekai Tenseisha Goroshi -Cheat Slayer- , or Killing the People Reincarnated into Another World -Cheat Slayer- , which comes from Kakegurui writer Homura Kawamoto. The story involved characters modeled after actual isekai series protagonists being brutally punished for using 'cheat skills' in this new world, and the creator has since come out with an apology.   Kawamoto apologized for the "pain, concerns, and fuss" caused over the manga's launch, going on to say they were ashamed of the incident and will reflect on this shame to create better works in the future.    Among the many titles that had their characters parodied with a dark twist was  That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime . The author behind that and the author of the  Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation series both commente...
