I don't really know anything about the book or the project; I know that Mahiro Maeda was going to direct it for a while after Hosoda dropped out but he's now apparently back on board, although he's got some kind of upcoming film project with Madhouse as well so who knows what the man is up to?

Dengeki Bunko's and Dengeki Bunko Magazine's mail magazine: Dengeki bootleg (http://www.mediaworks.co.jp/users_s/d_hp/i/kyuto.html) is hinting at a new adaptation >.<

Some are speculating that it might be an anime adaptation of the Toradora! light novel series:
http://d.hatena.ne.jp/kazenotori/20080401/1206982627

This might turn out to be an April Fools joke, so don't take this seriously for now :P

http://www.fezero.jp/april/april.aspx

The anime will be titled: Fantasy Earth Zero The Animation

Wiki entry for the game:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasy_Earth:_Zero

This is an April Fool almost certainly. The link and unprofessional nature of the website is the biggest clue - there's also no such thing as the "okome anime channel" (which is some kind of joke to Fantasy Earth players I believe).

I know you like to post things as soon as they go on Moonphase, but for today can you make DOUBLY sure they're accurate? Even Moonphase (or μoonphase, as it's named today) makes it very obvious that everything should be taken with a pinch of salt for the next 24 hours.

On April 1st 2007 they announced a second season of Shakugan no SHANA anime (another boy's light novel series from the shounen label Dengeki Bunko), and it turned out to be true :)

It seems they are making anime adaptation announcements of popular Dengeki Bunko light novels on April 1st on purpose :)

Sorry for lack of an announcement in my post, but... is there somewhere I could see every announced anime in an overview? If not, wouldn't that be a swell idea for a topic (or this topic's first post). ;p
If I wanted to look whatever's upcoming now I'd have to browse through a heck of a lot of pages.

I think its a good idea, something like MoonPhase's anime list (http://www.moonphase.cc/Html/anime.html) (but only for new upcoming anime).

Its going to be a lot of trouble at first >.> but I think I'll make a list for upcoming anime, and add it to the first post. A month after the broadcast of the first episode of any anime, the anime will be removed from the list (something like that).

Anyway, I'll have to ask an admin first about this.

Sega destroys the world with new RPG
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not to be outdone by The World Ends With You, Sega has announced its own apocalypse-impending RPG in the latest issue of Famitsu, World Destruction. With Masato Kato, Yasunori Mitsuda, and Kunihiko Tanaka managing the game's script, music, and character design, Image Epoch (Luminous Arc) is also working on the production, clearing up at least one of the developer's three mystery projects listed on its company site.

World Destruction will be a traditional RPG with turn-based combat and giant bosses filling up both of the system's screens. Following Blue Dragon and Inazuma Eleven's example, Sega will accompany the game's summer release with an anime starting July. Turn your Bible to the Book of Revelation and head past the post break for a glimpse at two of World Destruction's characters.

Masahiro Yokotani (Reideen) will supervise and co-write the scripts, and Keita Matsumoto (Blood+, XXXHOLiC key animation) will adapt the Tanaka's character designs.

Hi ,

this is my first post =)

The Nico Nico Douga video-streaming website has posted the first 14-minute episode in the follow-up series to last November's Candy Boy original net anime. (The website's Nico Nico Anime Channel requires free registration in Japanese, but the service otherwise has no territorial restrictions.) The anime is a "nonchalant talk of the certain twin sisters in daily life," or the slice-of-life story of Kanade and Yukino Sakurai. Happy Lesson director Takafumi Hoshikawa, character designer Tatari Habe, and the studio AIC began the project with a free ten-minute video, which is still available on Nico Nico Douga also.

Ahh, one thing I forgot to mention; the Shoujo Sect ~Innocent Lovers~ OVA series is of course an adult OVA series. It will be sold under the Milky Animation Label, a label that produces and sells adult anime.

Here's the anime title's announcement:

http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/2669/200807milkyshoujosmlxf9.jpg

Thank god they're doing this as an adult OVA, I would've been really sad if they'd treated it like most other "adult" things and taken out most of the content. Hell, there's not enough yuri to begin with anyway, so this is superb!!!

BTW, if you want to, you can pre-order the set from amazon.co.jp if you're willing to fork over 6400 Yen + shipping (7100 if you want the T-Shirt and the 2 extra CD's) and those are the sale prices... ＞＿＜

Just the DVD (http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E5%B0%91%E5%A5%B3%E3%82%BB%E3%82%AF%E3%83%881-%E9%80%9A%E5%B8%B8%E7%89%88-%E8%81%96%E6%9C%88/dp/B0018FAMJA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1210486161&sr=1-1)

It's in Japanese and you'll have to answer a question of whether or not you're 18 or older... If you are, just answer はい

No idea, since there's no news concerning the broadcast schedule of both of these titles. Though I would say Ga-rei will be animated first since the Kiddy Grade 2 has been announced for ages >.> and yet the anime hasn't gotten a broadcast schedule yet...

Apparently there's a new Gainax anime in the works, apparently scheduled to start broadcasting come this fall. No real information other than a date was given. Information came from Giapet.net's write up about Gainax's panel (http://giapet.net/2008/05/23/fanime08-this-is-gainaaax-or-awesomest-jacket-ever/):

We have just been informed that Gainax is an animation company. Wow…(I guess it’s ’cause Fanime named the panel “What is Gainax? A Day In The Life Of Gainax.”) Speaking of a day in the life– typically, they just…produce animation…every day. Currently they’re working on a fall TV anime that goes untitled, as well as the Gurren Lagann movie.

There's another project in the works that was given more information about, but the series is still tentative and may not happen in the end. Here's the information regarding this project (not the same as the one mentioned above):

The next question is about the new unnamed project: the guy wants to know if Yamaga’s trip to England was for research– maybe for setting? –or if the series actually involves foreign companies. Yamaga says that the new project he’s working on with Takeda is completely separate from the England-related project. However, the England-related project isn’t set in England, but to give a glimpse of the new project: there’s a character who is a rock musician from England, and who went to England to figure out where his hometown would be. Akai says that when talking about the project they talk about how it’d be nice if they could go to England to get a clearer picture, but “just for that, we can’t go to England, can we?” and Yamaga said “no, let’s go!” and went. Yamaga says that the other new project alsod involve a “research” trip to Egypt, to Akai’s surprise. Yamaga says that it’s because a particular sport is involved in the show and that sport has an event happens in Egypt involving this sport. They won’t tell us what sport, but…England? Egypt? I’m thinkin’ soccer. Anyone else care to speculate?

The best part : "For the movie he can’t talk about it at all because it’s in development but it’s based on a shoujo manga."

This you see might be the project Tadashi Hiramatsu his working on. It was supposed to happen at Trilogy studio but it's not featured on their HP anymore.
Back in 2005 it was announced during TAF that Trilogy studio was working with Tadashi Hiramatsu on bringing Yamashita Kazumi shoujo manga Ghost Rapsody to the big screen but since then nothing.

@manuloz: Yamaga mentioned that he was in England with the new project's director and character designer...

We can add Akemi Hayashi (Ani-Kuri (http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=BirZkZ6doGA))into the mix she said on her blog she was in England for work. I think we have found the chara designer for Ghost Rapsody.

The shounen manga Blazer Drive (ブレイザードライブ) by Kishimoto Seishi will be getting an important announcement in the next issue of the shounen manga magazine Shounen Rival (http://www.comipedia.com/magazine/shounen-rival), which will be released in July. Could this be an anime announcement?

Shounen Rival (http://www.comipedia.com/magazine/shounen-rival) is a new shounen(boy's) manga magazine from Kodansha that started on April 4th, 2008.

Blazer Drive manga started from the first issue of Shounen Rival magazine, so there should be 3 chapters released of this manga (including the chapter that's in the third issue of Shounen Rival (released on June 4th, 2008))

Could this really be an anime adaptation O.o there's only 3 chapters released of this manga (with the next issue there will be 4 chapters >.<). Anyway, we'll have to wait for the next issue to find out...

Isn't Seishi related to Kishimoto Masashi (creator of Naruto)?
