Welcome to November, can you feel the anticipation? It's not long now till the silly season really hits us and things wrap up and wind down for the year. That's not really happening here at Madman though!

Why? Because we've got an awesome line up of titles this month AND in December, as well as a very special event taking place on the 14th of November - the first annual Madman National Cosplay Championship Finals in Melbourne! The "November Five" have been busily sewing away their costumes, styling their awesome wigs and of course putting together what will surely be a bunch of spectacular skits! The anticipation is building and we remind everyone that you too can be a part of the event, simply by coming down to the Sebel Hotel - Albert Park, for a fun filled day of cosplay and some awesome anime screenings. Check out the event guide for more info.

Now, onto November! What an awesome slate of titles we have, including the highly anticipated launch of CODE GEASS R2, which is also now streaming new episodes every week! You can catch each episode online for up to 2 weeks so remember to tune in every week! New episodes will be uploaded every Tuesday. Speaking of people with god like powers, DEATH NOTE also returns in DEATH NOTE RELIGHT - VISIONS OF A GOD. A feature length TV Special that depicts the entire saga between Light and L, this is your chance to relive the DEATH NOTE experience! Not only that though, there's some awesome new scenes never before seen included.

And for those of you living in a high definition future, we have not one, but THREE unmissable Blu-Ray releases - the all time greats AKIRA, GHOST IN THE SHELL 2, and FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST: THE CONQUERER OF SHAMBALLA!

That's all from me this month, I'll see you at the Cosplay finals!
