I was looking for something and found this by mistake >.>

This seems to be the official site of Koutetsu Sangokushi (鋼鉄三国志) anime:

http://www.koutetsu-sangokushi.jp/

The site seems to have opened on 27/12/2006, but nothing on it yet :P

But why isn't this site mentioned on MoonPhase or any other site

I mentioned the anime in a previous post:

Quote:

While the manga is serializing in Comic Sangokushi Magazine, it seems like a TV anime is also starting next spring:

鋼鉄三国志
Koutetsu Sangokushi

Broadcast: Spring 2007

Koutetsu Sangokushi manga started recently in the seinen manga magazine Comic Sangokushi Magazine (a bi-monthly manga magazine).
(first chapter got out on 28/11/2006)

LOL

after I mentioned Koutetsu Sangokushi's site here, the site got mentioned on MoonPhase

Animation Studio: Imagine

Prism Ark eh. Now I don't ever have to worry about playing the bloody oversized game. Better be as good an anime as everybody said it was an RPG.

cyth · 2007-01-05, 07:04

Koutetsu Sangokushi's site got heavily updated just now, though the layout is still a mess.

NeoSam · 2007-01-05, 11:16

And more anime:

==========

地球へ…
Chikyuu he... (Chikyuu e...)

Broadcast: April 2007

Director: Yamasaki Osamu
Mecha Design: Izubuchi Yutaka
Character Design: Yuki Nobuteru

==========

エル・カザド
El-Khazad ???

Broadcast: 2007

Director: Koichi Mashimo
Character Design: Kikuchi Youko
Animation Studio: Bee Train

==========

Chikyuu he... is this based on the manga that got serialized in Monthly Manga Shounen between 1977 to 1980 ???
It has the same exact title in japanese (地球へ…).

Look at its japanese wiki entry here:
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/地球へ…

(Chikyuu he... is a SF manga, and it won the 25th Shogakukan Manga Award in 1979.)

MrProphet · 2007-01-05, 11:40

NEW El-Hazard? YAY!

By BeeTrain? NOOOOO....

Oh, and a Nobuteru Yuki/Yutaka Izubuchi pairing should be awesome.

Indeed, Yutaka Izubuchi must be juggling this and Skull Man. Anyway this is not the first time Chikyuu he... has been animated though. There was movie of it made in 1980 by Toei. If anyone cares for such trivia...

This is El-Hazard in japanese: エルハザード and whats mentioned on MoonPhase is this エル・カザド, which is El-Khazad (or something like that I think >.<).

So I was right

Any relation with Keiko Takemiya's manga ?

Hmm, thats the manga I'm talking about, Keiko Takemiya is the author of Chikyuu he... manga, which I think this TV anime thats starting in April is based on.

Chikyuu he... is a manga by Keiko Takemiya that got serialized in Manga Shounen between 1977 to 1980.

Usually when an anime is based on a manga or a light novel, the author (and illustrator) of the work would be mentioned, but no author is mentioned, thats why I'm not sure if this anime is based on that manga or maybe its just an original work anime that has the same title as an old manga but no relation to it at all >.>

(But if its really based on her manga, then this wouldn't be the first time, (as mentioned by Sonhex a few posts above) since Chikyuu he... manga got adapted into an anime movie in 1980.)

Manga Shounen is a manga magazine that serialized Sci-Fi manga for boys (a Shounen Sci-Fi manga magazine), it started on 1976 and got defunct on 1981.

eggplant · 2007-01-05, 21:35

Yes, Terra e is the same as the Takemiya Keiko manga which became a movie (very nostalgic for old timers like myself).

Interestigly enough, Terre e is going to replace Tenpou Ibun Ayakashi Ayashi's time slot, which is going to be shortened from its original 50 episode run due to poor ratings.

Although this may be an irregular case, I don't think bringing back a classic manga is going to change the ratings. They certainly need to appeal to the fangirls who made SEED and FMA staple anime titles in terms of popularity, which I suppose TBS is counting on with the Gundam sequel from fall.
Here are the ratings for Ayakashi Ayashi and its predecessor, BLOOD+ for the first eleven episodes.

BLOOD+
1　　2　　3　　4　　5　　6　　7　 8　　9　 10　11
5.4/4.1/4.0/4.2/3.6/4.7/4.0/3.6/4.9/3.5/3.8

Tenpou Ibun Ayakashi Ayashi
1　　2　　3　　4　　5　　6　　7　 8　　9　 10　11
3.6/3.3/2.4/2.5/2.9/3.4/2.6/2.5/3.1/3.7/3.6

Despite the fall, I don't see a significant drop which would prompt a cancellation.

Dagger · 2007-01-05, 22:50

Damn... Ayakashi Ayashi is going to be shortened? That's a shame. If Terra e is starting in April, I guess that means Ayakashi Ayashi is being cut down to around 2 cours? I wonder if they'll rewrite the story to fit more of it in, or just cut it off without an ending.

Blood+ was that popular either. Compare with FMA ratings. Same channel, same doroku timeslot.

5.9/5.6/3.7/6.8/6.7/6.0/6.8/5.9/7.0/6.1/6.7/6.5/6.6

I think the network execs were sick and tired with the much less fangirl-inducing series, so they are doing another about face with Nobuteru Yuki.

I was surprised from the start that something like Ayakashi Ayashi would even warrant a prime-time slot. Perhaps they thought BONES would do their voodoo trick, or something...

Haha, exactly my reaction when I read that.
And I'm glad to see I'm not the only fan of Yutaka. Kawamori and him are probably my most favorite mecha designers among the anime industry.

First you announce Birdy the Mighty, now Towards the Terra. Wow, I'm getting quite a nostalgia fix this year. It makes me wonder what they'll remake next. I'm voting for Blue Sonnet.

Slightly nostalgic. Not as classic, but still it joins the nostalgia craze suddenly sweeping anime-land.

Yes, I missed your reference. My mistake, sorry.

So Terra e might be adapted into a TV series, then. I wold be overjoyed if it was really the case, as serious, classics shoujo manga are not often given this chance. Maybe Jyu Oh Sei and Nana helped ? Anyway I can't help but think it's a little regretful that we had to wait for so long. Izubuchi Yutaka to do mecha designs is well and good, but I hope the staff will keep the mood of the original manga and not make it into a Gundam clone. The same for Nobuteru Yuki, as I used to be a fan of him long ago but all his works since Chrono Cross look ugly.

Apparently it's El Cazador.

EDIT: It seems they've taken Kajiura Yuki and Bee Train aboard, so we can expect something in NOIR's and MADLAX's style. This is good news.

Koichi Mashimo usually brings out the best in Yuki Kajiura, so musically it's very good news. As for that pic well, this looks like another addition to Mashimo's 'two chicks n guns' obsession, not that I'm complaining...
