Have you guys checked out the AWSM new anime Monsuno yet? It started yesterday on Nickelodeon and is airing weekdays at 8am, so it’s not too late to get into it! There’s heaps of action and monsters look RAD. We reckon it’s the next big anime and can’t wait to see what happens next!

If you’re Monsuno mad like us, make sure you grab the latest issue of MANIA on sale now because there’s HEAPS of cool Monsuno stuff in it and we’ve even put hero Chase on the cover!

MANIA: What’s your job at Little Space Heroes?
Anthony: My job is to build the virtual universe where players interact.

MANIA: Which character from Little Space Heroes are you most like?
Anthony: The others say I sound like Shadowbot when I laugh. But I actually think I’m like Gizmo, the friendly robot. Gizmo always acts and says things in a weird way, but everybody comes to him for help.

MANIA: Do you guys get into character and walk around in space suits while you’re working on Little Space Heroes?
Anthony: We sometimes do impersonations of characters when discussing the storyline and gameplay. Some people in the team love to bake and we get to eat cookies and cakes shaped as Glow and aliens. Yum!

MANIA: What do you think is the coolest part of the game?
Anthony: Pet Kritterz. You can feed them and take them around the world. Here’s a little secret, if you have more than one pet, they’ll play tag amongst themselves when you’re inside the house.

MANIA: Can you tell us another secret?
Anthony: Go to Professor Q’s Lab in the Space Heroes Academy – you can’t miss it! Stand on the blue pad and shoot your blaster at the lever. Just see what happens!

MANIA: What’s next for Little Space Heroes?
Anthony: We’re focusing on multiplayer games. We’ve already launched the Springbot Smashball a couple of weeks ago, so we’ll keep adding games like this so kids can play games together. Meet me in Little Space Heroes! My Hero’s name is Chubby!
