Moved the message to a new thread.
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. |

Oh sure -- but what I meant was that I suspect these will be "omake episodes". They're going to fill in gaps left from the original anime as opposed to creating a new story. So in that sense, it's more like making the original series "26 episodes + 3".

Sweet. I was really hoping they would have an OVA series. This makes me very happy indeed.
Any idea on the release date? I can't find any info on it in those posted links.

I'd say that it's probably a ways off yet. From the sounds of the announcement, production's already underway for the first episode, but hasn't started for the second yet (they haven't decide what it'll be about yet?). So I'd guess the first episode would be at least 6 months off at this point? Obviously that's pure speculation -- who knows...

Well, I can wait. The longer it takes, mostly likely the better quality it would be. Besides, they have to write the story anyway, since the anime and the game ended in the same place, and so no more of the story exists. Either way, I am greatly looking forward to it.

Well, unless there's a comment from ADV Films or they're listed in the credits, I don't see why they necessarily would. There's no guarantee that ADV will license it, though it's certainly probable. (If nothing else, Imagica and all probably want the English dub/sub for the inevitable Blu-Ray release, as they're doing with the series.)

New material, not the DVD specials --- though you could have found that out just from reading the first few posts of this thread.
