The fantasy manga Letter Bee (Tegami Bachi) may be getting an anime adaptation (http://www.animekon.com/news-711-Letter-Bee-Anime-Adaptation-Hinted.html) in 2009, according to comments made on TV by Shueisha's Jump Square magazine editor-in-chief, Masahiko Ibaragi. Not to be confused with the recent anime short (http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p=1572954&postcount=2349) that was shown this fall during the Jump Super Anime Tour events in Japan.

The Tegami Bachi manga was so far compiled into 5 volumes, and was licensed for North American distribution by Viz Media earlier this year.

Kawasumi Ayako is a sorta surprise choice for Reina on the Queen's Blade drama CD. A casting rumor for several characters dating back to May 2008 had pegged Hirano Aya as Reina in the Queen's Blade televison animation series.

(Some Japanese fans thought Nakahara Mai would be cast as Reina.)

On the other hand, that same casting rumor did have Tanaka Rie as Nyx in the Queen's Blade TV anime series.

Maybe more on this later, including other rumored voice actor casting choices for the Queen's Blade TV anime series, as well as seiyuu who voiced characters on prior Queen's Blade drama CDs.

Unless they get Sekirei'd again, it looks like Kawasumi Ayako (Musubi on the Sekirei drama CD) will play Reina and Tanaka Rie (Tsukiumi on the Sekirei drama CD) will play Nyx in the Queen's Blade TV anime series.

Interesting, for what I can see is another historical anime, just after Tale of Genji (and Sugiura (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=46746) retired 15 year ago). To bad the title is no just "Eden" ;_; (well, maybe Endo's Eden is not suitable for Noitamina... or maybe it is).

Edit:

Young Animal has announced (http://www.earlbox.sakura.ne.jp/#20081125) that Eden of The East, originally a 1989 manga series by Sugiura Hinako, will be getting a TV anime series. Kamiyama Kenji will be directing. Broadcasts are slated to start in Fuji TV's Noitamina time slot in April 2009.

So this was the missing Noitamina series, then.

It's not a manga adaptation. Kamiyama is credited as both creator (原作, gensoku, literally "original work") and director.

The character designs are by Chika Umino, artist of Honey and Clover and March Comes In Like a Lion. As March Comes In... is serialised in Young Animal, that's where the announcement is.

Interesting, for what I can see is another historical anime, just after Tale of Genji (and Sugiura retired 15 year ago). To bad the title is no just "Eden" ;_; (well, maybe Endo's Eden is not suitable for Noitamina... or maybe it is).

It's clearly not a historical anime. The promotional picture shows a hybrid mobile phone and watch, not something historical in the slightest (we're about due for another sci-fi Noitamina show anyway, it'll have been three years since Jyu-Oh-Sei). Sci-fi with Umino character designs could be very interesting indeed...

I'm definitely intrigued (I'm always interested in Noitamina shows), but I'm still a bit wary of Kamiyama as a director, let alone a writer. I really don't care for the GitS saga in the slightest, and Seirei no Moribito was very much an up and down experience for me.

No, what I mean is the time between Bakemonogatari anime announcement and actual broadcast schedule is exactly one year, so I think Katanagatari might be the same, that is, if it's going to be produced under Aniplex.

But again, announcing new series while his first anime series still haven't revealed casts information, or even main character's character design, is definitely strange. :heh:

Ghibli Confirms Plans for 2 New Films
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The November entry (http://www.ghibli.jp/15diary/005554.html#more) in Studio Ghibli’s “Itsumo no Ghibli Nikki” (Habitual Ghibli Diary) blog reveals that director Hayao Miyazaki addressed the Ghibli staff last month in a speech that included confirmation that the studio will produce two new feature films within the next three years. Miyazaki reportedly emphasized that the production of the new films will be driven by the studio’s younger staff. Further details about the new productions are being kept secret.

Last February Studio Ghibli President Koji Hoshino stated that Studio Ghibli directors Isao Takahata and Goro Miyazaki are both developing new works for release after Studio Ghibli’s Ponyo on a Cliff by the Sea motion picture.

It got cancelled. This project was suppose to shape up before Madhouse took an hold of him. I don't know why, i think it had to do with Gonzo financial problems at some point they were suppose to embark on animated movie production as Madhouse do, but they never had the chance after Brave Story. There was also a movie project around Mahiro Maeda... that never happenned too.

Scanned through the thread, and apparently the information hasn't been posted.

For those who remember Basquash, apparently the information has been released "officially", regarding the staff and production. According to Moonphase, it's been confirmed that the series will air sometime in 2009 on MBS. The Staff and Character listing (as with voice actors) were also revealed. Here's the translation (as with the original japanese) writing of the information:

By the way, you were wondering on ANN if this project was a co-production with France. The answer is no, as you can see on the staff it's a satelight original project. After Oban Star Racer some of the french staff stayed in Japan mainly Thomas Romain and Stanislas Brunet. I thin they stayed a bit longuer with the japanese studio who produced the animation for Oban, then they moved to Satelight. Thomas Romain worked on Kissdum as art designer, then Stan worked on Macross F as set decorator. Stan is also working on Basquash but apparently he is not credited on the main staff, but he also worked on the mecha design.

If the question pop up, that was Thomas Romain who spoiled the news to soon on the Catsuka (http://www.catsuka.com/home.php) forum ^^'

Event-Only Urusei Yatsura Anime to Debut This Month

2009's combined issue #2/3 of Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine has confirmed on Wednesday that the long-delayed new Urusei Yatsura anime special will premiere at the "It's a Rumic World" exhibition on December 23 in Sendai, Japan. This will be the first anime spinoff from Rumiko Takahashi's 1978-1987 slapstick comedy manga in 17 years, and it will be exclusively shown at this traveling display of Takahashi's artwork. The exhibition began this past summer in Tokyo with brand-new Inuyasha and Ranma ½ anime specials, but the Urusei Yatsura special was not finished in time.

Voice actress Fumi Hirano reprises her role as Lum, an alien princess who came to invade Earth, but ends up "marrying" a lecherous Japanese boy in a comedy of errors. Hirano played the same role in 195 television episodes, one television special, six theatrical films, and 11 animated videos from 1981 to 1991. Hirano and Toshio Furukawa (Lum's accidental mate Ataru) also voiced their roles in a separate opening animation clip for the ongoing exhibition; that crossover clip included the main characters from Urusei Yatsura, Ranma ½, and Inuyasha.

I wish a proper animation studio could take this title and turn it into an anime...but you know...ZUN ain't gonna let that happen so easily :(

There are rumors of a Touhou TV anime series in 2010 authorized by ZUN, scheduled for 24-26 episodes (2 cours), animated by JC STAFF, etc.

It could be fake information. For now, take it with a grain of salt.

If true, however, then it does seem to make sense for Tanaka Rie to announce on her blog her role as Izayoi Sakuya in a doujin anime.

Considering this (http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2008/12/15/touhou-creator-zun-to-masses-no-touhou-for-you/), I kind of doubt it.

Sankaku is famous for interpretable borderline news...Zepy's translation is far more accurate in term of copyright handling :

http://zepy.momotato.com/2008/12/15/zun-on-touhou-and-derivative-works/#more-2638

And guess what? In the replies, Sankaku's news writer is trying to start a flame. Well we now have 2 interpretations of ZUN's blog entry about copyright case, it's up to you to judge folk, but I think he just want to not be involved too much in copyright management, which is a pita with all the doujin masses around.

And the 1st animated episode is due to C75, so supposed to be released at 29/12

I'm with ZUN on this boat.
I don't want to repeat one thing over and over, so I'll borrow this post (which is better than mine in term of wording):

Obscurity lets ZUN maintain the “soft control” over his characters he’s exerted all these years- he’s never had to tell someone “you can’t do that with those characters” and shut down a work of love. A big project, however, could force his hand.

For example, what if the anime killed off a character? You could just shrug and say “it’s a doujin”, but it rings a bit hollow with an big-name cast and years of effort. People getting into the scene from the anime would have a slanted view of the series, which (in significant numbers) would create pressure on ZUN to accept the anime as canon. If the anime is successful- and it probably will be- what if people start talking about a series? Things could get ugly fast.

In short, this could force ZUN to start approving and disapproving of how characters are used- something he’s never done before and probably never wants to do. By saying this now, he’s trying to maintain the status quo- but Touhou’s rising popularity is probably going to change things sooner or later.

Horiguchi is supposedly employed by Kyoto Animation, unless she's recently left to work independently (or has permission to work with outside contractors).

It's interesting that their directors and leading animators tend to be employees, which might suggest some difference in corporate culture.

In this post I'll mention 4-panel manga magazines that are aimed at the male otaku. These manga magazines serialize moe 4-panel manga aimed at the male otaku.

Male oriented moe~ 4-panel manga magazines:

Manga 4Koma KINGS Palette Lite (http://www.comipedia.com/magazine/manga-4koma-kings-palette-lite)

K-ON! (serialized in Manga Time Kirara)
GA Geijutsuka Art Design Class (serialized in Manga Time Kirara Carat)
Kanamemo (serialized in Manga Time Kirara MAX)

I actually like the idea of more 4-komas being turned into anime. They are not really laugh-out-loud-funny (with a few exceptions, of course), but they always try to give you a heart-warming and fuzzy feeling. And yes, I'm actually looking forward to these adaptations (now, if they mind to release more information together with the announcement... :heh:)

K-on! seems to be set for Spring 2009, though I can't really confirm this, myself (there are some changes to the website (http://www.tbs.co.jp/anime/k-on/) and the addition of a blog (http://www.tbs.co.jp/anime/k-on/blog/blog.html)).

I thought last year when Special A was about to end I read on this forum that they would continue with a second season. Maybe I'm blind or losing it but I wonder if that's not the case anymore :( Or what the news is? I can't seem to find anything and I'm preetty sure I know what that means... although i hope i'm wrong... anyone have news on Special A? if any 2nd season starts? :heh:

2009-02-03, 17:11

facepalmWhy facepalm? He's right -- read the article more closely.

Since the DVD is advertised as shipping "right before the second season," the second television season will not start before April.So, if it's right before the second season, and this ships on April 30th, then we can speculate that the second season will probably air this summer (July). If the second season actually started in April, this DVD clearly wouldn't ship right before it.

In any event, the true takeaway here is that it's "coming soon", but probably not April.

Among the survivors who had been abandoned inside the Blackspots, labeled as "those who were unneeded", came forth possessors of uncanny abilities -- Fire, wind, brute strength...they were defined by their supernatural abilities.

I've checked out the manga raws for this series and it's somewhat like Scryed but not a complete ripoff. For one thing the main characters are quite crazy in a very funny odd way... you'll see what I mean when you see the series. There's also lots of comedy even when there's deaths of characters or when their killing their opponents so it's a bit of a dark comedy. It's quite gory at times too you even see guts of the enemies near berserk level I see this being tone down in the anime. I'll be interested in seeing the anime I found the manga to be very fun, fast pace and very funny as well.

Are there any updates regarding Rainbow? I mean, I hope they would say they didn't push through with it or something, since I don't want to be kept hanging.

I can't find any newer updates concerning this anime (no staff/cast info announced yet). There's only the Spring 2009 broadcast start date...

Negima! OAD is getting (http://catmania.blog13.fc2.com/blog-entry-2049.html) a second series, as announced in today's Negima!: Ala Alba event. First volume dated for this summer and will be covering Magic World arc. Total of four volumes will be released. Production staffs are the same as previous Negima!: Ala Alba. If this OAD project success, Negima! Movie will be next.

Very good news, as for me the Ala Alba stuff is by far the best anime adaptation of the manga material. In fact, it's not even remotely close. If these new volumes are in the same weight class, we should be in very good shape.

Someone know if there are any updates regarding Arad Senki anime? I saw all Gonzo stuff with a date or news, but for this nothing (only 2009 lol).

When I checked earlier today, there hadn't been any info yet about when it will be telecasted in Japan and South Korea.

A few weeks ago, I recall reading somewhere that back then that at least 17 episodes of Slap Up Party -Arad Senki- had been recorded by the Japanese cast listed below:

Baron: Kondou Takashi
Ryunmei: Nogawa Sakura
Capensis (Kapenshisu): Suzumura Ken'ichi
Ixia: Tsuji Ayumi
Jeda: Kuroda Takaya
Irbek: Okiayu Ryoutarou
Hilia (Hiria): Tanaka Rie
Halsen (Harusen): Iwata Mitsuo
Roxy: Watanabe Akeno
Weri/Welly/Wellie: Tsubuyaki Shiro-

Don't quote me on the following as I'm doing this strictly from a fuzzy memory, but I think that Baron and Ixia first appear in Episode 1, Ryunmei first appears in Episode 2, Capenshis first appears in Episode 3, and Irbek and Hilia first appear in Episode 5.

Baron, Ryunmei, Capensis, Ixia, and Roxy seem to make up our merry band of heroes. Irbek seems to be the Baron's nemesis and a villain in the show. Hilia seems to be a princess and a great fighter who's madly in love with Irbek...

Is Hilia another one of those crazy if not evil Tanaka Rie characters in anime who are obsessed with someone or something? Suigintou's obsession with "Father" in Rozen Maiden. Tomoe Marguerite's obsession with Shizuru Viola in My-Otome. Koigakubo Yuri's obsession with getting married in Toradora! Liang Qi's adoration of Alphard (is it an obsession?) in the upcoming CANAAN.

Cooking Idol Anime Announced
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Japanese Anican Staff Blog reports (http://ameblo.jp/anican-staffblog/entry-10213961697.html) on the voice acting recording of the freshly announced children’s anime television series Cookin’ Idol Ai! Mai! Main! (pronounced “Cookin’ Idol I! My! Mine!”). Similar to last year’s Moegaku 5 television series that combined educational live action and anime segments, the ten minute long Cookin’ Idol episodes will consist of an anime segment in which young girl Main teaches cooking and a live action segment in which Main’s voice actress, Haruka Fukuhara, attempts to cook the same dish featured in the anime segment.

The series will premiere on the NHK Educational network on March 30. Anime production studio NAS (http://www.nasinc.co.jp/) will produce the animation with Hiroshi Watanabe (Slayers, Orphen) directing and veteran character designer Atsuko Nakajima serving as animation director.

Its called D.Gray-man Over. I never bothered to look it up, but I've definitely heard of it. Whether it made it past rumor stage is a different question, though.

Edit: I doubt it even has a schedule yet though. Since the plan was to wait until the manga was sufficiently ahead enough to start again. There's no way that would happen in just a few months.

Well more rumors (for now)... but they are great :D one seinen(young men's) manga that has yuri in it might get an anime adaptation and one shounen(boy's) light novel series that has a catgirl might get an anime adaptation :D

The seinen(young men's) manga Sasameki Koto (ささめきこと) by Ikeda Takashi might be getting an anime adaptation. The manga is serialized in the seinen manga magazine Comic Alive (http://www.comipedia.com/magazine/comic-alive) (the same magazine that serializes the seinen manga Maria†Holic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Holic)).

The shounen(boy's) light novel series Asobi ni Ikuyo! (あそびにいくヨ!) by Kamino Okina (author) and Houden Eizou (illustrator) might be getting an anime adaptation. The light novel series is published under the shounen light novel label MF Bunko J (http://www.comipedia.com/light-novel-label/mf-bunko-j).

If they combined both to create a catgirl yuri manga or light novel, I would be the happiest :D :heh:

Anyway, until they are officially confirmed to be be getting animated, consider both to be rumors...

I remember reading the first chapter of Sasameki Koto... I think, or maybe not... oh never mind, this memory of mine doesn't work anymore... it seems that only the first volume and the first chapter of the second one have been so far scanlated. Otherwise, manga is still ongoing. oh well, I have something to do for now... :heh:

Omamori Himari is 28 chapters. Even if the anime didn't come out until around Spring of 2010, it would only be something like twice that. Would it really be wise to start an anime adaptation with so little in the way of source material?

Fumi and Akira were best friends when they were little, with Akira always looking after the crybaby Fumi, but that all ended when Fumi's family moved away. Several years later, Fumi's family returned, and she and Akira happened to bump into each other on their way to school. They became friends again, quickly slipping back into old patterns. Shortly after, Fumi began dating a cool, attractive upperclassman who, coincidentally enough, had ties to Akira's current school, the prestigious Fujigatani Girls' Academy.
