Ahh, Gakuen Heaven is originally a BL game, that later on got adapted to manga and an anime. I can't seem to remember when was the last time a BL manga got a non-adult anime adaptation (not an 18+ OVA).

Picky picky! But the TV anime took the same 'route' that the manga did too, didn't it? (I'm not a fan; I gave up on the anime after only a few episodes, so I could be way off.)

If we're going to be super-picky though, a fair few yaoi OVAs aren't necessarily 18+ anyway Like, say, Angel's Feather, which was fairly recent and also completely softcore.

I see. thanks for the info

Hmm... I'm not sure why I'm asking, this is not the type of stuff that I would ever watch. I'm just trying to keep this thread a little more interesting by asking these questions. (hopefully I'm not giving anyone the wrong impression LOL ).

Pachisuro combines pachinko (a Japanese vertical pinball game) with a slot machine. Yukari Tamura and Mamiko Noto will reprise their game roles of Haruka "Red Angel" Minazuki and Aoi "Blue Angel" Kannazuki. Monako Sena's manga started in the October issue (on sale August 25) of Kadokawa's Comp Ace magazine. The project will be the latest kaitō (thief) magical girl series after Kaitō Saint Tail and Kamikaze Kaitō Jeanne. Daito Giken produced another pachisuro anime named Yoshimune last year.

This just sounds crazy enough to work, and I mean it's like got Nanoha and other Popular Moe Seiyuu Mamiko Noto in it as angel characters. Plus it's bloody pachinko, which to my knowledge has never been the focal point of an anime. And people still say there's no original ideas left in anime (they just don't have the think way outside the box ideas like me and the guy who came up with this one have).

The source of the news about the Junjou Romantica anime is not only not working for me >.< its not working for anyone >.<

On the following page the news about the Junjou Romantica anime was mentioned:
http://www.kadokawa.co.jp/ciel/2007/08/post_18.php

But it seems they have removed the above page. oh well, this is not the first time I have seen an anime being announced then right afterwards the source of the news gets removed (which after a while this type of stuff gets very very annoying).

I remember liking the manga - really hope this one turns out well

[domino]

Junjou Romantica...?! Anime..?! I never would have expected this in a million years...

I don't remember the manga well, but I remember it being very funny and very perverted. Far more suitable for an 18+ OVA than a TV series, so a TV series just wouldn't seem right...! I wonder how they'd make it work? And of all the BL out there, I wonder how this got to be animated?

In any case, as long as it's funny, I'll watch it...! (though I'm starting to question my standards, since I thought Gakuen Heaven was the best BL anime I've ever seen... )

[NeoSam]

Another anime got announced:

墓場鬼太郎（ハカバキタロウ）
Hakaba Kitarou

http://www.toei-anim.co.jp/tv/hakaba/

Animation Studio as can be seen from the site is TOEI ANIMATION.

Edit:

Another GeGeGe no Kitaro anime adaptation ???

From the wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ge_Ge_Ge_no_Kitaro

GeGeGe no Kitaro (ゲゲゲの鬼太郎, GeGeGe no Kitarō?) is a comic (manga) series created in 1959 (under the alternative title Hakaba Kitarō (墓場鬼太郎, Hakaba Kitarō?)) by Japanese cartoonist Shigeru Mizuki.

Can't wait to see if it will be closer to the original art (please!) or more like this year's style

[jcdranzer]

Okay...just now at FTV...someone just stated that there "WILL be a second season to Ghost Hunt"...and I checked a few of my sources and there's no mention of it...so for now I'm assuming it is BS but can someone please confirm whether it is BS or not. Thank you.

But if they were to make a second season, it will be most likely 12-13 episodes long.....hmmm I know what happens after the first season....

Spoiler for its a DAMN spoiler =P:

Naru's dead twin brother, Gene (aka Eugene) who resides in Mai's dreams.

I'll let NeoSam do the proper post, but Aria the Origination (Season 3) in production. Based on the manga in Comic Blade, anime published by Media Factory, with the same staff as the OVA to be released in a few weeks. Awesome!

Thanks for the info. I don't think there's anything else that needs to be added but Yay

Aria TV Anime's 3rd Season Greenlit for Production

The October issue (on sale August 30) of Mag Garden's Comic Blade magazine will announce that a third animated television season based on Kozue Amano's Aria surreal slice-of-life manga was greenlit. Director Junichi Sato (Gate Keepers, Pretear, Princess Tutu) will return after overseeing both of the previous Aria television seasons and the OVA. The staff will largely be the same as the OVA version's. The broadcast date has not been set yet, but the third season has been in production since this past spring. Source: Moon Phase

More Aria! That's wonderful news!
Now if only someone would license the first and second seasons...!

[Yakhobian]

Going to be called "ARIA The ORIGINATION" apparently.
Fingers crossed it's another 26 episodes.
Though I wouldn't complain if it's longer.

But will they still love 'Nekomusume'? Since they've done a lot to liven up her looks. She's cute. But her old designs will scare the piss out ya. Hahahaha!!

I can't believe they're doing another remake. They just did one, and is it still airing? How much more will it be like the comic? How about getting it right the first time.

To be honest I always wanted to see this series when it aired in the 80's but never got the chance. I mean, it's a boy with an eyeball in his head. And he's got "youkai" for friends. Not saying he's any more normal himself.

And on the new 'Otome -Zwei' project...I guess that's more money to plop down. Hell, I haven't even picked up 'HiME' yet. Well, I'm looking foreward to the new series. I guess there's more to tell. As long as it good. The OVAs were a little bit of a mess to some but hey not all OVAs can be winners. Since this story will concentrate on 'Rena', I'm curious to see which otome's will be used in this installment. Will 'Sara Gallagher' be in in her earliest attire? Whatever the case I hope 'Sunrise' will fill in the blanks and leave us satisfied.

Y'know what this means?

More "fanart", the fun never ends.

"C'mon 'Sunrise' you're fans need to come up with more perverted ideas for the series!"
