I can't find any newer updates concerning this anime (no staff/cast info announced yet). There's only the Spring 2009 broadcast start date...

Very good news, as for me the Ala Alba stuff is by far the best anime adaptation of the manga material. In fact, it's not even remotely close. If these new volumes are in the same weight class, we should be in very good shape.

This means that there's a high possibility of it not airing, right? Or is this normal?

Nah, many anime get announced without staff/cast info being announced (they will be announced later), its pretty normal.

Someone know if there are any updates regarding Arad Senki anime? I saw all Gonzo stuff with a date or news, but for this nothing (only 2009 lol).

When I checked earlier today, there hadn't been any info yet about when it will be telecasted in Japan and South Korea.

A few weeks ago, I recall reading somewhere that back then that at least 17 episodes of Slap Up Party -Arad Senki- had been recorded by the Japanese cast listed below:

Baron: Kondou Takashi
Ryunmei: Nogawa Sakura
Capensis (Kapenshisu): Suzumura Ken'ichi
Ixia: Tsuji Ayumi
Jeda: Kuroda Takaya
Irbek: Okiayu Ryoutarou
Hilia (Hiria): Tanaka Rie
Halsen (Harusen): Iwata Mitsuo
Roxy: Watanabe Akeno
Weri/Welly/Wellie: Tsubuyaki Shiro-

Don't quote me on the following as I'm doing this strictly from a fuzzy memory, but I think that Baron and Ixia first appear in Episode 1, Ryunmei first appears in Episode 2, Capenshis first appears in Episode 3, and Irbek and Hilia first appear in Episode 5.

Baron, Ryunmei, Capensis, Ixia, and Roxy seem to make up our merry band of heroes. Irbek seems to be the Baron's nemesis and a villain in the show. Hilia seems to be a princess and a great fighter who's madly in love with Irbek...

Is Hilia another one of those crazy if not evil Tanaka Rie characters in anime who are obsessed with someone or something? Suigintou's obsession with "Father" in Rozen Maiden. Tomoe Marguerite's obsession with Shizuru Viola in My-Otome. Koigakubo Yuri's obsession with getting married in Toradora! Liang Qi's adoration of Alphard (is it an obsession?) in the upcoming CANAAN.

Cooking Idol Anime Announced
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Japanese Anican Staff Blog reports on the voice acting recording of the freshly announced children’s anime television series Cookin’ Idol Ai! Mai! Main! (pronounced “Cookin’ Idol I! My! Mine!”). Similar to last year’s Moegaku 5 television series that combined educational live action and anime segments, the ten minute long Cookin’ Idol episodes will consist of an anime segment in which young girl Main teaches cooking and a live action segment in which Main’s voice actress, Haruka Fukuhara, attempts to cook the same dish featured in the anime segment.

The series will premiere on the NHK Educational network on March 30. Anime production studio NAS will produce the animation with Hiroshi Watanabe (Slayers, Orphen) directing and veteran character designer Atsuko Nakajima serving as animation director.

More Gundam.....

.....UC 0081?! FFS! There's no chance this won't sell.

Which sucks because just how much more stuff can you shove into that OYW/Gryps-era?? Why not a series between Char's Counterattack and Gundam F90? Or why not an adaptation of Crossbone Gundam? Or a series between F90 and Victory? Or even a brand-new UC series? Blah.
