Anime on iPods

It's nice to know the porn industry isn't the only early adopter of new technology. Anime characters can now be found on video iPods too, the New York Times reports. Nine days after Apple introduced the device, anime distributor Central Park Media announced it would make some titles available on iTunes for the video iPod. Titles the Times mentions include "the adventures of Chirico Cuvie in the series 'Armored Trooper Votoms'," and - to be offered a little later - "Descendants of Darkness," "Revolutionary Girl Utena," and "Shadow Star Narutaru."
