I'm very much looking forward to this. I assume that they're going to use these episodes to explore more of the fun/comedic side of the Utawarerumono world that got cut from the anime due to time constraints.
I guess the timing isn't too surprising with the Blu-Ray set of the series being released in Japan at the end of January. And Tears to Tiara arriving on PS3 and in anime form in the not-too-distant future.
Anyway, good stuff.
