New Announced Anime

[Dernhelm]

according to hongfire, the tentative title for the Prime Minister's anime is

Daremo shiranai Koizumi Junichirou no shoutai(?) (誰も知らない　小泉純一郎の正体)

I've uploaded a trailer of Bartender here.

Just as I imagined it would be, a mature series. Could be pretty interesting.

Pursuant to this spring's announcement of the animation of Getsumen Toheiki Miina 月面兎兵器ミーナ, it was just announced that Fuji TV will be airing it as a TV series on Saturday nights from January.

Getsumen Toheiki Miina is the metafictional anime used in the TV drama version of Densha Otoko. The series will feature Tsukuda Mina, a high school student and an announcer, who transforms into Tsukishiro Miina to save the Earth from an extra-terrestial invasion.

I've uploaded the video which includes the announcement here.

I assume this would be produced by GONZO, and if thery're going to do this, might as well animate the metafictional Plrin anime they use in NHK ni Youkoso!

don't know if anybody said this already but Sumomomo Momomo airs Oct. 5

The webiste for Getsumen Toheiki Mi-na has already opened.

Airing from January 2007 on late Saturday nights on Fuji TV.
Production studio: GONZO

Synposis: As mankind seeks to emigrate to the moon where the lunar base is being completed, defense androids are being mass produced, in quantities equalling the number of craters there are on the moon. This is the comedic story of the burlesque humanoid, Tsukishiro Mi-na, who tries to do her best at studies and work.

From my post of above, it would seem she assumes the name of Tsukuda Mina, a high school girl and an announcer.

Mi-na's features coupled with her ammo is like, Anemone meets Dokuro-chan.
Being a metafiction in Densha Otoko, I reckon it'll be a moe type of show.

The popular Capcom action game Devil May Cry will get an anime series starting from Spring 2007 on WOWOW.

Official site: http://dmc-tv.com/
Animation studio: MADHOUSE
Director: Itagaki Shin (BLACK CAT)

There is a trailer within the site. Direct link is:
mms://wmt-od.stream.ne.jp/tdf/public/dmc/devil_promo_500k-02.wmv

Devil May Cry has been novelized as well as made into a manga (kindly asking NeoSam to post the covers), although the stories are different from the game.

The trailer mentions Dante, so I suppose it will go along the lines with the game.

Great, Devil May Cry anime will start next year. I like Madhouse production very much. Their fight scene is well animated and the sound is great.

Why? Why animation, and why the hell in the first place? Are they trying to change the image of anime or...

Well I guess they can do it since Koizumi's exiting soon, but since a lot of people are thinking Abe's next in line...

The bad thing is it also reminds me of this really, really scarring incident where I came across some screenshots of a Japanese TV variety sort of show that showed one yaoi doujin of...well, none other than 小泉純一× (Junichibatsu Koizumi) and E島勲 (Isao E-jima referring to 飯島勲 Isao Iijima, Secretary to the PM)
... with Koizumi being the "uke"...
The sad thing is, I actually saved the image so that on days when I think the world is boring, I just need to look at it and bang my head on the table.
(I don't have anything against yaoi, but FFS, not the likeness of the Prime Minister anime-fied and doing it with a totally bishie-fied Iijima... Noo...)

But of course I'm really quite sure that show will be quite different from this

WHAR? WHAR IS THAT YAOI DOUJIN?

Anyway, seriously - this anime is among my to-watch this upcoming season, if I can get that blasted net connection of mine fixed and that DVD writer.

Agent Aika (AIKa), the staple for pantsu anime, is going to get a new OVA release in Spring 2007.

Photo of the previous OVA series (first series aired on TV) released during 1997-99 (pantsu advisory).

Here is the announcement:


Listing from ANN: http://animenewsnetwork.com/encyclop...ime.php?id=102
Official site: http://www.aika-sumeragi.jp/

Lol, didn't think AIKa would be get a new series!
For those who want to see the ultimate fanservice anime, I strongly recommend AIKa, as you're to guaranteed to crack up.

If would be nice if they retain Sakuma Rei (Nina Appleton fron Gundam 0083, My Melody from the self titled series, Peorth from AMG) for the role of Aika, although she may be too old for this kind of thing anymore.

NeoSam:
Do you have an official report for the ななついろ★ドロップス (Nanatsuiro★Drops) anime being produced?
Which website did you see this information?
http://www.stbarcelona.com/ does not list any information about this title. (assuming this is the company that will produce and animated this anime)

This is the best news EVER.

NOw all we gotta do is wait for a Peace@Pieces anime production!!!!

Erm I saw someone comment on teh Youtube page "first Mushishi, then this." Which has got me curious: any link to Mushishi or was that just a random statement? Also I couldn't garner much from the trailer in Japanese, could you provide/link a description?

[physics223]

I want a GOTH OVA or short series PLZ. That would really make my day, week, and month.

My source (MoonPhase's anime list) which listed it yesterday as having an anime in 2007 by Studio Barcelona, but today it got removed from the list of the new tv anime and there's no mention of it in the list.

Was this only a rumor ? Its not getting an anime ?

Very Dissapointing, this is the first time MoonPhase disappoints me

Sorry to disappoint you guys >.<

And another anime got announced (news about it here):

Well, there is this:

Not exactly a "goth" story... but the main character is seriously freaky and quite gothic (more of a "horror girl" than "goth girl").

See trailer here:
