I heard about the KoJika OVA and posted it on my blog (http://giapet.net/), and there I was informed by a reader (http://giapet.net/2008/07/13/the-kodomo-no-jikan-never-ends/#comment-8927)-- who has the DVD that came with v5 of the manga, or else knows someone who does --that the OVA actually IS the second season.
Ahh yeah, the new Kodomo no Jikan OVA series is the second season that was announced before.
Even looking at MoonPhase's anime list confirms this:
http://www.moonphase.cc/Html/anime.html
The second season was moved under the OVA list.
Thanks for the info giapet :) I'll remove the above post.

It's not that any of the OVA episodes already released are the second season. A second season is coming, but it'll be released as an OVA series. Maybe I was the only one getting confused, but there you have it... :heh:
Edit: Too slow. :heh:

"Both Tsubasa Chronicle and xxxHOLiC are getting Original Animation DVD (OAD) releases with upcoming volumes of their respective manga in a new CLAMP and Production I.G project. The first one, an xxxHOLiC episode, will come out with volume 14 of the xxxHOLiC manga in January of 2009, and the subsequent Tsubasa Chronicle episode will come out in February 2009 with volume 26 of the Tsubasa Chronicle manga.

Moonphase updated their site, and... I'm not quite sure whether to be happy or upset.
This is NOT good news for Bleach fans. Stitch!, Disney and Madhouse's reimagining of the Lilo & Stitch franchies, will be replacing Bleach come this October 2008 on TV-Tokyo and affiliates. It will also be airing on the Disney Channel. Stitch is scheduled to air at 7:30PM on Wednesday. No exact date was given other than sometime in October.
I'm wondering if they're changing timeslots for Bleach...

Looking at that list of what's coming out, it looks like I'll have to clear up some hard drive space. summer for me wasn't that great. a few shows to follow, but mostly catching up on older stuff that's been collecting webs on my drive. Not fun for me.
We'll see how things go though. HOPEFULLY I'll have a nice full season where I'm pulling my hair trying to manage 5-10 shows again >_> (reminds self to update list)

==========

Hetalia Axis Powers

Cover:

From MangaUpdates:
Think of it like WWII, except every country is a pretty boy instead. A hilariously stereotypical pretty boy. America loves burgers, Russia is into the vodka, and China has pandas and a Wok.
It is centered mostly around Italy, who has both a North and South character. The Hetaria portion of the name is probably mocking Italy, as Hetare means 'Useless'

Yeah, I noticed the Hatsukoi Limited anime >_< I didn't mention it because I was waiting for a confirmation >_< hopefully it will be confirmed with the upcoming 4th (and last) tankoubon of the manga.

Wiki entry for the manga:

Anyway consider the anime adaptation a rumor, until its confirmed.
It’s hard to believe that Hatsukoi will probably get an anime adaptation in the future. Didn’t the manga end prematurely due to a “lack of interest”? oh well, if it is confirmed, let's see how it turns out.

Yes it ended early due to very low sales which just leaves one word in mind when I see that it's getting an anime, why?
Also this is one manga adaption where I'm hoping they heavily rewrite things because frankly it needs it.

Heh I was to post the same thing. Yeah hope they do certain things differently in the anime, did not like how the characters were introduce in the manga made it hard and confusing as to who was the main character(s) or if it was going to follow anyone specifiably also concentrate more on the interesting characters or even cut certain characters because they weren't interesting at all.

Looks like Waki Yamato's Asaki Yumemishi (Tale of Genji) (http://asakiyumemishi-anime.com/) manga will be animated, scheduled on January 2009. It's gonna take up the Noitamina block, after Nodame Cantabile Paris chapter.
I find it timely that they'll be animating this not long after Kure-nai, which contains many Tale of Genji references. What a way to commemorate 1000th anniversary of this epic novel.

Early death of the manga can't always be used as a predictor; just look at "Strawberry Panic". Two tankoban, only reaching the end of the first novel, then the manga dies; followed by an anime that only very distantly relates to either. It seems that all is fair in love and anime :p

I don't know whether to feel happy or disconcerted about this announcement. Again, a choice I don't understand at all :heh:. If it’s something like Okawari, oh please, don’t give us more…
Anyway, I guess it’s better to see which studio is going to do this supposedly third installment before I get my hopes up—or down. I thoroughly enjoyed the first series, but I felt somewhat disappointed with the second. If they decide to do something with the Minami-ke franchise, they should stick with the manga this time around—which Okawari did not do as far as I know.

Oh wow, this could single-handedly counteract all the moe fanservice out there and restore balance to the Universe. Surely though they're not going to try and squeeze the whole thing into 11 episodes - perhaps they'll just adapt part of the manga and leave the door open to future seasons?
I'm ashamed to say that after all these years I still haven't read the novel. It seems that the Tyler Genji (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tale_of_Genji#English_translations) is the one to get - I've just been reading a lecture (http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/tylerlecture.html) by the distinguished gentleman that I commend to all our hard-working and underappreciated TLs:
... I used to assume that in many people's estimation there is no point in redoing a work that has already been "done,'' since what matters is to make it "available,'' as they say, in English and then move on. In other words, once the work has been "introduced'' in English, there is no point in "introducing'' it again. I took it for granted that this issue would have been forgotten by now in the case of the Western classics, their "introduction'' phase having passed long ago; but Robert Fagles told me that people ask him, too, why in the world he translated the Iliad and the Odyssey yet again. Those who ask the question do not understand that the job of translation will never be done for good, and that, in any case, there will always be people like me who like to translate, whether their product is needed or not.
I was soon wondering what had given me the idea that I had ever understood a single paragraph. I could only look back wistfully on the experience of translating a book of folktales by the French writer Henri Pourrat. French being a language I actually know, I just typed. Genji was very different, but I persevered until I actually got to the end. Perhaps that is success enough for one lifetime.

Kawasumi Ayako is a sorta surprise choice for Reina on the Queen's Blade drama CD. A casting rumor for several characters dating back to May 2008 had pegged Hirano Aya as Reina in the Queen's Blade televison animation series.
(Some Japanese fans thought Nakahara Mai would be cast as Reina.)
On the other hand, that same casting rumor did have Tanaka Rie as Nyx in the Queen's Blade TV anime series.
Maybe more on this later, including other rumored voice actor casting choices for the Queen's Blade TV anime series, as well as seiyuu who voiced characters on prior Queen's Blade drama CDs.
Unless they get Sekirei'd again, it looks like Kawasumi Ayako (Musubi on the Sekirei drama CD) will play Reina and Tanaka Rie (Tsukiumi on the Sekirei drama CD) will play Nyx in the Queen's Blade TV anime series.

From this 2ch thread (http://news24.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/moeplus/1220616096/): volume 9 of the shounen light novel series Ookami to Koushinryou might be hinting at a second TV anime series :)

I'm hearing things about Penguin Musume Heart 2nd Club, and Live On CARDLIVER Kakeru.
Whilst I doubt many people are interested in these, is there any information on these?
(sorry if I missed something about these :x )
Penguin Musume Heart is just gonna be extended from the original 12 to 22 episodes. CARDLIVER is on, airing on October 5.
It was always 22 episodes, just that the last 11 were withheld until now.
Slayers will be getting a new TV anime series. The new anime will be divided into 2 seasons.

Pretty sure they mean it's a continuation of the current series, just divided into two nonsequential cours.
Either that or they decided to just throw the alphabetical titles to the wind, and will be covering stuff at an absolutely nutty pace for the last couple episodes of Revolution.
Ahh, are you sure about that, it does say "New TV anime series production decision" >_<
100% certain? No. But making an announcement at the end of a series where everything points towards it being an unfinished story that you're making a new series that'll be be starting with an unfinished story and then a break seems... silly.
Essentially, the author's comment on the division of the 'future' series describes the situation that the current series is in. It's completely possible that he means that there'll be another series that does what the current series is doing now, but I find that a bit of a stretch, especially if it's just on the semantic definition of what exactly 'new series' entails, be it totally different production, or a new batch of episodes.
Of course, this is reading a shitload into a two sentence blurb, so I'm going to sleep.
Ahh, I see, thanks :) then we'll have to wait and see...
bahh, another request again. Thanks for the info on the other two series, anyway.
Is there any official anime artwork out there for Kurozuka, One Outs, Mouryou no Hako, Alive, and Ride Back? I have seen snatches of some, but I can't seem to find many official sites or do I know of places where such images could be.
thanks.

Very true, it looks like this is his first big TV series after doing some well-known films and episode directing and storyboarding on some big shows among other projects so hopefully he'll be pretty ambitious/motivated with this if the scifi novel supports such a thing and it's not a low-key type storyline since I don't know anything more than what ANN wrote, I'd love to see that. For now I'll be excited by the good production design crew listed and one of my favorite character designers.

Apparently, from what I'm reading, the Rideback anime has been slated for a January 2009 airdate. I think it was confirmed in Ikki Comics but I'm not quite sure. I saw a mention of it on the author's blog so I thought I'd post it here. I'm going to check out the current issue of Ikki to see if it's true or not and I'll get back to this thread.
