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:

I believe he's referring to the manga titled GOTH - not to any generically goth anime.

Bartender is not related to Mushishi save for the airing time slot and that is an episode conclusive anime, therefore the comment probably alludes to the expectations for a quality anime.

Since I don't see any descriptions in English yet, I've translated the synposis from the official site.

Synposis

God's Glass...
That is the monicker given to the immacluate drinks served by the brilliant bartender, Sasakura Ryuu.
The customers who visit his bar "Edenholl" become captivated by his cocktails.
At times, it rekindles memories, heals sorrows, or relights people's fire.
A healing-type anime for the mature audience.

Main characters

Sasakura Ryuu (V.A.: Mizushima Takahiro)
A young bartender who is in charge of the bar "Edenholl" in Ginza. The cocktails he makes are called "God's Glass". Past winner of an international competition, his skills are unmatched, although his secrets remain a mystery.

Kurushima Miwa (V.A.: Fujimura Ayumi)

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.

I only have the one set of screenshots frmo that show talking about it, but well... you were warned

And as for Devil May Cry, I hope they put in a good job to match I.G.'s work on Chevalier (well they're both WOWOW shows). I'm just really worried because Shotarou Suga is one of the scriptwriters and I can't say I really like his stuff. They've all been very boring to me.

Irohaniheto (what aname... ) looks pretty decent. It's not aimed in the realistic style of FLAG (which shares the same overall director), but it seems like they did put in effort to make sure it has some historical accuracy because they've got someone listed among the main staff to help them research and check the cultural settings.

What I noticed immediately is that the character designs are by Kozaki Yuusuke (Speed Grapher designs). I love that stuff - he's also a GIF animator I think, here's hoping he might do some animation like other GIF animators Ryochimo and Kenichi Kusuna. I'm hopeful cos he's credited as character design, not Original Character Design (there's no "animation character design" credit either...)

Haha, I wonder what the real people's response is to this?

WOW, thank you very much, I think I know why its being compared to Mushishi (^).

Another "human-story-anime" () to expect? Fitting name for a bar like that too. Will follow it.

wao, that link should be buried under dozens of spoiler tags.

Another anime that got announced :P

==========

うっかりペネロペ
Ukkari Penelope

Broadcast: 20/11/2006

Based on picture books for children.

A site designated for the picture book from the publisher (Iwasaki Shoten):
http://www.iwasakishoten.co.jp/penelope/

Covers of the picture books can be seen here:
http://www.iwasakishoten.co.jp/penelope/shikake.html
http://www.iwasakishoten.co.jp/penelope/ohanashi.html

Genre: Kodomo

==========

[wao]

The picture books are originally French I think.

The English title is... well I dunno, it's a series of books. For example here is Penelope at School and Penelope In The Winter. The original publisher is Gallimard Jeunesse.

[physics223]

LOL @ those pictures ... these Japanese, they REALLY don't have a limit to their imagination. (I meant that as a joke, please, don't be offended.) But we also have a War of Philippine Heroes, so it all evens out.

(GMA's ultimate is SONA [sleep]. LOL.)

Is that Tamura Yukari? The one on the top holding the magazine or whatnot? WTH am I thinking. LOL.

I don't even know Tamura Yukari ... she's the Go-Go-Igo segment in-charge, right?

[NeoSam]

Yay Yay Yay Yay Yay Yay Yay Yay >.<

Not only Kujibiki Unbalance is getting an anime, but also Genshiken is getting an anime too Yay Yay Yay

From Manganews:

New Kujibiki Unbalance manga serializing + New Genshiken Anime!: According to the latest issue of Afternoon (on sale 9/25), a new Genshiken anime is in production! Moreover, Kujibiki Unbalance, the original anime made for the first Genshiken TV series will now get its own manga series. On top of that, there will be a full length anime series of it starting October. [ Source:Nisedaiti ]

Yay Yay Yay a new Genshiken anime

[MrProphet]

I've read that "news" a couple of days ago and I am somewhat doubtful. Can anyone confirm it with the actual image from Afternoon?

Unless this "Project G2" is it. http://shop.kodansha.jp/bc/yoyaku/comics/genshiken9/

EDIT2: According to this blog, it's not going to be a full-fledged TV series, though, but rather an OVA.

Today’s scoop, revealed in the pages of Afternoon, is that Genshiken will in fact continue in animated form - but as a special add on to the Kujian DVD box releases, not as a TV series in itself. The Light Otaku Diary describes the release as mirroring that of the Kujian OVA when it originally came bundled with the R2 release of Genshiken two years ago, right down to the (very steep) price tag of 14,490 yen per box (a box containing four episodes of Kujian and one of Genshiken, for a total of three new Genshiken episodes and 12 episodes of Kujian over three boxes).

[NeoSam]

Damn it, why? why? why do they keep doing stuff like this

Only 3 episodes WTF

[MrProphet]

$125 for a single episode of Genshiken.

No decency at all. 8)

Look interesting, wonder if anyone will fansub it, looks like a different anime I would be interested in.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't that put it in the same sort of bracket as Binchotan and Aria? Well I guess the mature audience bit is arguable for those two but I'm more referring to the "healing-type anime" comment. If so I'll definitely be checking out an episode or two of this(not that I wasn't before but this would pretty much cement my standing on it.)

Life is hard people. Life is hard.

By the way, this piece of news sucks.

And wow, Bartender is looking good already.

I agree with you. But that's not a bad thing ;p especially in the creative business. They need a limitless imagination to come up with sorts of things that keep the likes of us glued to anime/manga

Ah, since the official site used the word 癒す, I wrote it as healing, but perhaps it should have been consoling/conforting/soothing or something on that grounds

In any case, it is definitely not in the same category as Binchou-tan or ARIA.

[MrProphet]

I think Binchou-tan was officially described as "Anime for tired men". 8)
