Please don't, because they're not anime. ~_~ (I've just had this discussion with xris.)

Ok, I see, then Korean and Chinese animation series will not be included in the list.

Hmm.. I think if a Japanese manga/light novel series gets a korean or chinese animation adaptation, then I'll announce them in this thread, but I won't be adding them to the upcoming anime list.

[FireChick]

I heard from somewhere that a Tales of the Abyss anime is gonna be produced. ANN (Anime News Network) has something about it.

[Haohmaru]

http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost...postcount=2425 search and thou will find.

Moon Phase has more details on the Tales of the Abyss anime, although still no say on OVA or TV anime.

But the big news is that Sunrise will do the animation. The director will be Kenji Kodama, who directed City Hunter and Case Closed. Yoshihito Hishinuma (InuYasha, Yakitate!! Japan) will do character design.
