There's already a thread for this, with the covers of the novel already posted:

Sure, that sounds fair (I don't believe trailers violate the spirit of the no raws rule, though I guess I'll soon find out if I'm wrong...)

Thanks for the link!

It's not on the official site yet - I also spent last night fruitlessly searching torrent sites for it, so for the moment we're stuck with Youtube. Btw, I've started a thread for Simoun to collect what little info we have it about it so far.

Yeah you are right, its a tv show and not an OVA.

I got mislead by this: Saint Beast limited edition which was the version that got released only on DVD (meaning: OVA)
http://www.wonderfarm.co.jp/contents...sb0508021.html

First DVD released: 17/12/2005
Second DVD released: 18/3/2006

Whats the difference between the limited edition and the regular version (that got broadcasted on tv)?

Don't ask that, I don't know

She's getting another spin-off series? Looks like Hakushon Daimaou (Bob in the Bottle) is pretty popular in Japan.

Apparently based on some online game, some The tower The Recovery of BABYLYM ???

Now, where on earth did they get so much budget to produce so many shows, and TV series at that? In the past decade we've had at most an OVA of Ah! My Goddess, an OVA of Canvas 2, an OVA of Tokimeki Memorial, and then now BAM! Full TV Series. I mean WTF. This couldn't all be attributed to the advent of digital animation. I just couldn't quite figure out how so much funding is put into the industry....is it an overinflation of the estimate of the industry's capilitalization by JETRO? It must be, especially if they're planning to export all of these shows. Notice most are seinen titles. So I guess they must be targeting all the international male otakus then who are working and have spending cash. But that doesn't explain all the galgame anime...surely those do not cross borders in international licensing.

For those who are interested in some background - Oban Star Racers is based on the short film 'Molly The Star Racer' which was a pilot produced by an indie French studio called 'Sav! The World Productions'. Molly was particularly interesting as it featured music by Ayumi Hamasaki. The series has been in development for a number of years and at times it looked like it would run out of funding. It's a good example of a how an anime influenced European project (other than the Marathon franchises) has come full circle being aired in Japan. Trailer is here (Real only, sadly).
