So if I understood you right, there was no second version of Piano no Mori at all. It's always the same manga? That would be good... for instance, I always had the impression that there were several versions of Tokko.

PS.

Well, the live-action movie comes out next year. Maybe the anime will follow...

I think this is simply amazing. I've always considered Freesia to be too weird for this.

Yes, there's only one Piano no Mori manga. Its just that the first 9 volumes (which got serialized in Young Magazine Uppers) got republished with new covers.

The manga started in Young Magazine Uppers and continued in Morning.

Anyway, if anyone is interested, read this pretty interesting article about Morning magazine

25 Years of Morning

You can already tell be looking at the official site that they tend to stick a lot more to the manga then the original series did. Also - the characters from the second part of the manga are all there.. so its hard to say if they'll be starting from the start of the series, carrying on where it left of.. or just retelling the story in a whole new way. Shall be good finding out~

Woa. Thanks for the info. I wouldnt mind a whole new and better remake (like Kanon2006/negima!? sort of). Recently there seem to be a lot remakes.
The Ikkitousen story was kinda cheezy and exxegareted heroic/sterioutype at times, while the setting of the story and the atmosphere were pretty good. It was like a anime show with great potential, but it was kinda messed up (even with the animation quality). It could have been another Tengou tenge, and while it might have been interesting and exiting at times, all in all it was rather disapointing.
Thats why I hope for a remake, just in case the manga is any better.


And i got shocking news.
I dont know why anime nation news and blogs are writing about the new Naruto anime coming out spring or early 2007, but as far as my crappy google translations are concerned, we might have to wait untill summer 2007 (which means ~July 1rst/2nd/3rd/4th, around that time). That would mean we still gotto bear with anouther ~30 crappy episodes.

Hakufu doesn't look as cute in that screencap as she did in the first series... Misleading, I hope, since she was the hottest and the cutest character in the first series. It looks like the rest of the characters got a nice upgrade, though.

Toei Animation's site for Yes! Precure 5 (Yes！プリキュア5) anime has opened:

Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes

Nanatsuiro★Drops anime has finally been announced

Mentioned in this post, and in this post.

http://www.nanatsuiro.com/ (site not working yet :P )

Animation production: Studio Barcelona

==========

And another anime got announced:

風の聖痕(スティグマ)
Kaze no Stigma

Based on a shounen light novel.

Based on a light novel thats published under the shounen light novel label Fujimi Fantasia Bunko.
There's 6 volumes released of this light novel, and 2 short stories light novels.
Here are the covers:



The short stories light novels:



Genre: Shounen

Animation production: GONZO

==========

Other shounen light novels from the shounen label Fujimi Fantasia Bunko that got animated:

BLACK BLOOD BROTHERS
Full Metal Panic!
Maburaho
The Third
Scrapped Princess
Slayers

[Amethyst]

I'm very happy for Unison-Shift now that Nanatsuiro★Drops is getting an anime. I finished the main heroine's path today (just 11 hours ago) and I have to say that this game was truly a wonderful experience. I really hope the anime goes along with Sumomo's path.

Spoiler:

I'd be kind of disappointed if it went Nona's or Nadeshiko's way, especially when you know how long Sumomo has had a crush on Haru and how much courage she had to build up to approach him.

I really hope for a surprise from Studio Barcelona, and as somebody already mentioned, yes, seiyuu need to stay the same. If they do a good job, they are surely getting my money. Unison-Shift's game was worth every yen of it.

If you actually played the game, you would know that it's not loli at all (it is very moe however). Even Toua has teenage bosoms. Your posts often feel like that they contain no love for the titles which are announced. Just hype created from hearing of properties' popularity. That's kind of sad. :|

Even if the characters are in their 40's, and they look like little elementary children, then if I want to call them loli, I'll call them loli.

Sorry for not putting enough Yays in my posts. Just tell me what bishoujo titles you like so if they ever get animated, I'll know that these titles have to be handled with care and lots of Yays.

[NeoSam]

And another anime: (news source here)

太極千字文 （たいちせんじもん）
Taichi Senjimon

A collaboration work between Toei Animation and KBS (Korean Broadcasting System).

It's exactly the opposite. Less yays from you for the titles you have no clue about.

I'll try to put as many Yays on as many titles that I don't know anything about.

NOOOOO, why Stdio Perrot. I hope it'll be a short anime (51 episodes max) or else it'll be garbage.

[NeoSam]

アニメ化企画進行中の「風の聖痕」と「京四郎と永遠の空」。

Kyoushirou to Towa no Sora is also mentioned, which is getting an anime in January 2007.
