» Kingdom Hearts - News Archive

Square Enix has re-opened and updated the Kingdom Hearts Portal Website, where links to all of the official Japanese sites are displayed as well as the “Message to the Kingdom” blog and the Kingdom Hearts mobile site. This update introduces an “About” section which gives information about the entire Kingdom Hearts series and even a chronological look at all the Kingdom Hearts games to date.

There are so many potential untold stories that Nomura missed in Kingdom Hearts, and so many scenes that could have been realized. Though he may have left them out of the games, or just had not thought of them, we can look to fans to apply their talent in story-telling, brush and art to recreate the whole Kingdom Hearts universe. Join Arcane this week, as we step into the ever-wondrous world of fanworks. Just what angles are these creators coming from? And what are they trying to create?

We’ll have a special bonus blog to close off 2010. It’ll be rooted in Christmas cheer…Kingdom Hearts style! So look for us on Christmas Eve!

So, it’s that time of the year again. Time to watch anxiously above door frames checking for mistletoe, time to drink a little too much eggnog, and most importantly – time to buy everyone presents.

To help the season pass a little easier this year, we here at KHU compiled some of the coolest Kingdom Hearts present ideas from Amazon.com for those friends you know who, like us, love Kingdom Hearts a little too much (if there even is such a thing)!

Haley Joel Osment, Hayden Panettiere, Jesse McCartney…the names we could recite in our sleep for their memorable contribution in voice acting in the Kingdom Hearts series. Of course, they are just one drop in the bucket out of the large cast of eclectic talent consisting of Disney-based, free-lance and professional actors.

This week, Kupo Mog engages you in an enlightening discussion about voice acting in Kingdom Hearts and how casting has changed and evolved throughout the years.

How do you feel about the voice acting swaps? Did you like new Aerith over old Aerith? Be sure to cast your opinion in our poll and broadcast your own say in our commenting area!

This week, Xaldin Puppy gives us an inside look at the prominent KH atmosphere that has continuously defied the original event purpose at anime conventions. He offers us his insight on why the anime community is just as healthily attached to KH as the rest of us.

Tell us-are you an anime fan who has also set foot in KH fandom? Or maybe it’s the other way around and you were introduced to anime at a later time? We want to know!
