According to MoonPhase's anime list, 07-Ghost (セブンゴースト) the fantasy manga by Yuki Amemiya (雨宮由樹) and Yukino Ichihara (市原ゆき乃) will be adapted in TV anime series.
Besides the online listing for the 6th volume of Enterbrain's Charaberrys magazine includes a mention of a "preview guide book for the new 07-Ghost show in April." However it's not officially announced.

Sailor moon lasted around 200 episodes, Doremi is also around 200 episodes. Why is Pretty Cure getting another season D: Toei, I want a new mahou shoujo series from you.

I doubt we'll get anymore Doremi. Since the director went to make Ouran and Soul Eater...and they're both good ^_^''

OK guys, I grant that XEBEC doesn't do much for me, but you have to give Takao some slack on To Love-Ru; he did pretty good, considering the scripts he was working with.

XEBEC manages to sneak it into every anime. Seriously. I've not seen one anime they've done where there wasn't fanservice.

Anyways, seems that Square Enix is shooting to get anime adaptions for alot of their serialized manga. I'm a bit curious about this, so I'll check it out once it's animated. I'm just hoping that sooner or later we'll get something "Kingdom", and not just "Pandora." :heh:

The fantasy manga Letter Bee (Tegami Bachi) may be getting an anime adaptation (http://www.animekon.com/news-711-Letter-Bee-Anime-Adaptation-Hinted.html) in 2009, according to comments made on TV by Shueisha's Jump Square magazine editor-in-chief, Masahiko Ibaragi.

The Tegami Bachi manga was so far compiled into 5 volumes, and was licensed for North American distribution by Viz Media earlier this year.

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.

Young Animal has announced (http://www.earlbox.sakura.ne.jp/#20081125) that Kamiyama Kenji will be directing a new TV anime series titled Eden of The East. Broadcasts are slated to start in Fuji TV's Noitamina time slot in April 2009.

So this was the missing Noitamina series, then.

[Woland]

Interesting, for what I can see is another historical anime, just after Tale of Genji (and Sugiura (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=46746) retired 15 year ago). To bad the title is no just "Eden" ;_; (well, maybe Endo's Eden is not suitable for Noitamina... or maybe it is).

Young Animal has announced (http://www.earlbox.sakura.ne.jp/#20081125) that Eden of The East, originally a 1989 manga series by Sugiura Hinako, will be getting a TV anime series. Kamiyama Kenji will be directing. Broadcasts are slated to start in Fuji TV's Noitamina time slot in April 2009.

So this was the missing Noitamina series, then.

It's not a manga adaptation. Kamiyama is credited as both creator (原作, gensoku, literally "original work") and director.

The character designs are by Chika Umino, artist of Honey and Clover and March Comes In Like a Lion. As March Comes In... is serialised in Young Animal, that's where the announcement is.

It's clearly not a historical anime. The promotional picture shows a hybrid mobile phone and watch, not something historical in the slightest (we're about due for another sci-fi Noitamina show anyway, it'll have been three years since Jyu-Oh-Sei). Sci-fi with Umino character designs could be very interesting indeed...

I'm definitely intrigued (I'm always interested in Noitamina shows), but I'm still a bit wary of Kamiyama as a director, let alone a writer. I really don't care for the GitS saga in the slightest, and Seirei no Moribito was very much an up and down experience for me.

It's not a manga adaptation. Kamiyama is credited as both creator (原作, gensoku, literally "original work") and director.Ahh, thanks. Funny though, Sugiura's manga does exist, and yeah, I've considered it to be "historical" in nature too, considering Noitamina and all.

A Katanagatari review can be read here:
http://easternstandard.pbwiki.com/Katanagatari

[sirn]

wait, what? Katanagatari? His Bakemonogatari series still haven't even aired yet! Since Bakemonogatari announced back in April, and is going to aired in (presumably) April next year. Katanagatari will probably aired sometimes in January, 2010.

[Westlo]

^ That only really applies if the same studio team were going to handle it. SHAFT are doing Bakemonogatari, for all we know J.C Staff could be doing Katanagatari...

[sirn]

^ That only really applies if the same studio team were going to handle it.

No, what I mean is the time between Bakemonogatari anime announcement and actual broadcast schedule is exactly one year, so I think Katanagatari might be the same, that is, if it's going to be produced under Aniplex.

But again, announcing new series while his first anime series still haven't revealed casts information, or even main character's character design, is definitely strange. :heh:

Ghibli Confirms Plans for 2 New Films

The November entry (http://www.ghibli.jp/15diary/005554.html#more) in Studio Ghibli’s “Itsumo no Ghibli Nikki” (Habitual Ghibli Diary) blog reveals that director Hayao Miyazaki addressed the Ghibli staff last month in a speech that included confirmation that the studio will produce two new feature films within the next three years. Miyazaki reportedly emphasized that the production of the new films will be driven by the studio’s younger staff. Further details about the new productions are being kept secret.

Last February Studio Ghibli President Koji Hoshino stated that Studio Ghibli directors Isao Takahata and Goro Miyazaki are both developing new works for release after Studio Ghibli’s Ponyo on a Cliff by the Sea motion picture.

Looking forward to that! What ever happened to his Gonzo project anyway Manuloz?

[manuloz]

It got cancelled. This project was suppose to shape up before Madhouse took an hold of him. I don't know why, i think it had to do with Gonzo financial problems at some point they were suppose to embark on animated movie production as Madhouse do, but they never had the chance after Brave Story. There was also a movie project around Mahiro Maeda... that never happenned too.

Hopefully I got everything correct... Character names I'm unsure on. Not sure if the person who posted the staff listing by accident earlier could correct me if they know anything.

[manuloz]

By the way, you were wondering on ANN if this project was a co-production with France. The answer is no, as you can see on the staff it's a satelight original project. After Oban Star Racer some of the french staff stayed in Japan mainly Thomas Romain and Stanislas Brunet. I thin they stayed a bit longuer with the japanese studio who produced the animation for Oban, then they moved to Satelight. Thomas Romain worked on Kissdum as art designer, then Stan worked on Macross F as set decorator. Stan is also working on Basquash but apparently he is not credited on the main staff, but he also worked on the mecha design.

If the question pop up, that was Thomas Romain who spoiled the news to soon on the Catsuka (http://www.catsuka.com/home.php) forum ^^'

Event-Only Urusei Yatsura Anime to Debut This Month

2009's combined issue #2/3 of Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine has confirmed on Wednesday that the long-delayed new Urusei Yatsura anime special will premiere at the "It's a Rumic World" exhibition on December 23 in Sendai, Japan. This will be the first anime spinoff from Rumiko Takahashi's 1978-1987 slapstick comedy manga in 17 years, and it will be exclusively shown at this traveling display of Takahashi's artwork. The exhibition began this past summer in Tokyo with brand-new Inuyasha and Ranma ½ anime specials, but the Urusei Yatsura special was not finished in time.

Voice actress Fumi Hirano reprises her role as Lum, an alien princess who came to invade Earth, but ends up "marrying" a lecherous Japanese boy in a comedy of errors. Hirano played the same role in 195 television episodes, one television special, six theatrical films, and 11 animated videos from 1981 to 1991. Hirano and Toshio Furukawa (Lum's accidental mate Ataru) also voiced their roles in a separate opening animation clip for the ongoing exhibition; that crossover clip included the main characters from Urusei Yatsura, Ranma ½, and Inuyasha.

This really feels like it will be getting an anime adaptation :) I was wondering about an anime adaptation here (http://lightnovel.org/2008/10/11/bungaku-shoujo-to-get-a-second-manga-adaptation) (when it got a second manga adaptation), but now, there's even an official site :eek: its almost as saying "an anime adaptation will be announced".

I wonder if an anime adaptation of it will be announced on Comiket 75.

If it doesn't get animated, I know just one person here (ganbaru) that will be dissapointed about my false prediction. oh well :heh:

Hopefully this post (http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=1591735&postcount=2) that contains upcoming TV anime series is helpful to some.

I'm also thinking about the creation of another post that will contain trailers of upcoming anime series. why go to many threads to check out if a new trailer of the upcoming anime series has been posted... or if you want to check out the same trailer, why go through the trouble to look where the link to that trailer was posted on. One post containing the links to trailers of upcoming anime should make it easier for everyone. A "Trailers of Upcoming Anime" post :) the post will be updated constantly just like the "upcoming anime list (http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=1591735&postcount=2)" post.

Anyway, I'll have to ask an admin about this :)

MY REIMU TURNS INTO A FREAK oy-z

I wish a proper animation studio could take this title and turn it into an anime...but you know...ZUN ain't gonna let that happen so easily :(

There are rumors of a Touhou TV anime series in 2010 authorized by ZUN, scheduled for 24-26 episodes (2 cours), animated by JC STAFF, etc.

It could be fake information. For now, take it with a grain of salt.

If true, however, then it does seem to make sense for Tanaka Rie to announce on her blog her role as Izayoi Sakuya in a doujin anime.

Considering this (http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2008/12/15/touhou-creator-zun-to-masses-no-touhou-for-you/), I kind of doubt it.

[Shinova]

Unless he got paid lots of money. :D

[stassy]

Sankaku is famous for interpretable borderline news...Zepy's translation is far more accurate in term of copyright handling :

http://zepy.momotato.com/2008/12/15/zun-on-touhou-and-derivative-works/#more-2638

And guess what? In the replies, Sankaku's news writer is trying to start a flame. Well we now have 2 interpretations of ZUN's blog entry about copyright case, it's up to you to judge folk, but I think he just want to not be involved too much in copyright management, which is a pita with all the doujin masses around.

And the 1st animated episode is due to C75, so supposed to be released at 29/12

[Duo Maxwell]

I'm with ZUN on this boat.
I don't want to repeat one thing over and over, so I'll borrow this post (which is better than mine in term of wording):

Obscurity lets ZUN maintain the “soft control” over his characters he’s exerted all these years- he’s never had to tell someone “you can’t do that with those characters” and shut down a work of love. A big project, however, could force his hand.

For example, what if the anime killed off a character? You could just shrug and say “it’s a doujin”, but it rings a bit hollow with an big-name cast and years of effort. People getting into the scene from the anime would have a slanted view of the series, which (in significant numbers) would create pressure on ZUN to accept the anime as canon. If the anime is successful- and it probably will be- what if people start talking about a series? Things could get ugly fast.

In short, this could force ZUN to start approving and disapproving of how characters are used- something he’s never done before and probably never wants to do. By saying this now, he’s trying to maintain the status quo- but Touhou’s rising popularity is probably going to change things sooner or later.

(The character design is by Yukiko Horiguchi, the same person that did Lucky Star)Well, unless the article also provides other information to support that, at this point I would just suspect that she's doing the designs on contract. Character designers will often work on shows for various companies; a lot of them are contract artists to begin with, even if they often do work for a given studio.

Don't know if legit, but I don't have a lot of doubt since 2ch is already discussing about Kyo-ani being involved.

Check that poster's history, but it's probably not. The rule of thumb is that if there's a secondary source to back it up (image, website), it's legit.

Horiguchi is supposedly employed by Kyoto Animation, unless she's recently left to work independently (or has permission to work with outside contractors).

It's interesting that their directors and leading animators tend to be employees, which might suggest some difference in corporate culture.
