Aura: Maryūinkōga Saigo no Tatakai Anime Film Officially Unveiled



The company Marvelous AQL opened a website to officially unveil the anime film adaptation of Romeo Tanaka's Aura: Maryūinkōga Saigo no Tatakai light novel. The anime's website lists the release date as "coming soon."
The 2008 school romantic comedy novel revolves around Ichirō "Menzu" Satō, a high school freshman who forgets his textbook at school one day. Ichirō encounters a beautiful girl while sneaking back into his school in the dead of night. The girl calls herself a witch from a parallel world. Ichirō used to suffer delusions of grandeur like this, but vowed to stop so that he can successfully re-invent himself as a freshman in high school.
 
Seiji Kishi (Persona 4, Angel Beats!, My Bride is a Mermaid/Seto no Hanayome) is directing the anime at AIC ASTA. Makoto Uezu (School Days, Is This a Zombie?, My Bride is a Mermaid) is collaborating on the story composition with scriptwriter Jun Kumagai (Persona 4 The Animation episodes). Kazuaki Morita (Carnival Phantasm, Kamisama Dolls, My Bride is a Mermaid) is adapting the original novel illustrations by mebae (C – Control – The Money and Soul of Possibility).

In December, the Japanese publisher Shogakukan revealed on the Shonen Sunday Super magazine's website that a theatrical anime film of Aura would open in 2012. However, the editors at Shogakukan's Gagaga imprint reported a day later that the information was "partially in error." Then this weekend, retailers listed the Blu-ray Disc and DVD volumes for the Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita television anime series with promotional videos for the Aura film. (Tanaka wrote the original light novels for both Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita and Aura.)

Sword Art Online Anime's 4th TV Ad Aired


The official website for the television anime adaptation of Reki Kawahara's action-fantasy light novel series Sword Art Online began streaming a fourth television commercial for the series on Friday. The commercial features the opening theme song "Crossing Field" by LiSA.

The story revolves around a boy named Kazuto "Kirito" Kirigaya who enters a virtual-reality, massively multi-player online (MMO) world called "Sword Art Online." There is no escape from this world unless the player clears the game, but "game over" means the death of the player.

The two-cours (two-quarter or half-year) television anime will premiere in Japan on July 7 with music by Yuki Kajiura (Noir, .hack, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Fate/Zero). Voice actress and singer Haruka Tomatsu will perform the anime's ending theme song "Yume Sekai" (Dream World), and she will also play Asuna in the upcoming series.
 
Crunchyroll announced at Anime Expo on Friday that it will stream the series as it airs in Japan.

'Completely' New Hayate the Combat Butler Anime Slated for Fall with Manglobe

This year's 31st issue of Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine is revealing on Wednesday that the new Hayate the Combat Butler anime will begin airing this fall. The issue shows new artwork from the anime studio Manglobe.

The "99th volume" of Kenjirou Hata's Hayate the Combat Butler manga officially announced the new anime last August. The Weekly Shonen Sunday issue does not refer to the new anime as the third season as Hata once did before then, and emphasizes that it will be a "completely new Hayate the Combat Butler" based on Hata's original concepts.

According to Weekly Shonen Sunday, the new anime is "now in earnest production." More information is slated to be announced "in the near future."

[Via Manga News]

  If Athena's not going to be in this season, then all hype will be down the drain I guess. She's what the manga people have been waiting for in a long time. I thought she'd appear in Season 2 but I guess she might be relegated to Season 3 so make it happen Manglobe and your odd character designs.

Kumi Koda to Perform Total Eclipse Opening Theme Song

The official website for J-pop singer Kumi Koda announced on Friday that Koda will sing the opening theme song "Go to the top" for the Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse television anime series.
Koda is writing the song's lyrics and Clarabell (RzC) is composing and arranging the song. A release date for the song's single has not yet been decided. Koda's latest album Beach Mix (pictured at right) will go on sale on August 1.
Koda previously sang theme songs for the Final Fantasy X-2 role-playing game, Crayon Shin-chan: Densetsu o Yobu Odore! Amigo!, the live-action Cutie Honey film, Gilgamesh, The Law of Ueki, and Re: Cutie Honey.
This will be Koda's first anime collaboration since she announced her pregnancy and her marriage to Kenji03 last December.
Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse will premiere in Japan on July 1, and it will also premiere at Anime Expo in Los Angeles on the same day. Crunchyroll will stream the anime into several countries as it airs in Japan.
[Via Yaraon!]




 My thoughts: It's quite surprising Koda Kumi will sing the OP for Muv Luv. She wasn't a singer for the Muv Luv series before unlike Granrodeo, Okui Masami, JAM PROJECT, Aki Misato and Kuribayashi Minami. Let's see if she will do a good job in the OP. I've heard Kuribayashi Minami's voice before in the Muv Luv series.

Astrogation - Mizuki Nana (J-Pop song of the day)

Because she had an achievement today, the J-Pop song of the day will be from her of course. On the sidebar, there are a lot of her songs so I had to choose another song of hers.

Nana Mizuki Beats Voice Actress/Actor Record for Top-10 Singles



"Time Space EP" marks Mizuki's 17th top-10 song — 1 more than Megumi Hayashibara

Nana Mizuki has become the voice actress or actor with the most top-10 singles in Japanese music history as of the Oricon weekly single ranking charts dated June 18. Mizuki's 27th single, "Time Space EP," was released on June 6, and placed third on its first week on the charts to become her seventeenth top-10 single overall and her sixteenth in a row. She was previously tied at sixteen with Megumi Hayashibara. The ranking also marks her fourteenth single in a row that charted in the top 5, and her tenth to chart in the top 3.

The single includes the song "Metro Baroque," the theme song for the Blood-C: The Last Dark film, as well as "Space-Time Sapphire," which was used in an animated Meiji candy company commercial directed by Rintaro.

Mizuki will begin a national tour of Japan this summer on June 24, and will be releasing a new single titled "Bright Stream" on August 1. All three songs on the "Bright Stream" single will be anime-related, as it includes "Bright Stream," the theme song for Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha the Movie 2nd A's, "Sacred Force," an insert song for the same film, and "Fearless Hero," the opening theme for Dog Days'. The "Bright Stream" single will cost 1200 yen (about US$15).

 Congratulations to her. She's one of the greatest singers and also a voice actress.

Highschool of the Dead - Review (SPOILERS)

In a world that was once peaceful an unity turns into one of corruption and division. What if a zombie outbreak happens? There's a lot more than zombies and fighting.
 



Art (8/10) 
The artwork was good, for the most part. The animation was fluid and easy to watch. The zombies were based from the current manga. What I want to see in the zombies was there. The drawback of this anime is that the character designs are quite unoriginal. I don't mind the dark uniform for guys and the light uniform for girls. The bloddy theme of the anime is quite amazing. The contrast of red and black are fine with me. I'm not an artist myself but it looks fine to my eyes because it fits the anime. The good overshadows the bad but I can't give it higher than 8.


Characters (7/10)
I think I can reflect with the characters more than the story. I honestly thought that killing of Hisashi was unnecessary. The evil teacher was also kind of unnecessary. The teacher would only be a mere destruction to the team. Since the story is about how to stop the outbreak, the team needs to flee and rest and stopping some of the zombies in their way. Most of the time, the sound would trigger the zombies so any weapon that would produce the minimum sound is key. For the cast, at first I thought Shizuka was kind of useless because, she was just there and not fighting. Even useless characters like her have a purpose especially during survival. Alice, the small girl would be useful in a long run. Rei was a bitch and I'm sure of it. Saya more often scowls at the others. Hirano was an awesome gunman. Takashi and Saeko for their leadership mostly led the way for the group. The cast met some minor people. Shizuka's friend who gave the team her house to rest. The police who Hirano came to know in a short while. After all they are memorable but I can't give them more than 7 because they just don't appeal to the average viewer.


Sound (6/10)
The BGM is not as memorable because there was no music to remember for. The intense action and some conversations kept me in the anime. The OP was good, but that was the only good thing in the anime. The seiyuu are good anyway, not really an all-star cast but decent performance.The emotions were there so they were believable. 


Story (7/10)
It's just one of the post apocalyptic series that deals with zombies. The term 'survival of the fittest' is one of the major concepts of this anime. It emphasizes too on teamwork and friendship. Sometimes, there are times that it is useless to banter on such things but the main goal is to survive and live. It may be unrealistic at times but the small things will make you watch it - including fanservice. 


Overall (7/10)
Run off the mill service anime. It's one of the anime in which it doesn't really cater to everyone. If there's something you like especially zombie apocalypse then this is the one for you.

Otaku's Verdict 2011 Picks

http://otakusverdict.zenhonbuph.net/ov2011/nominees/

Although the voting period is done, I kinda voted on the poll but I didn't understand all the choices except for the easy choices. So here we go. No results yet released.

Event/Convention of the Year: Major Category

  • Ozine Fest 2011
  • 10th Philippine Toys, Hobbies and Collectibles Convention (Toycon 2011)
  • HERO Face Off 2
  • Best of Anime 2011
  • Cosplay Mania 11
  • AME Monogatari
  • TOEInty Five! – Toei Animation Philippines 25th Anniversary Celebration 
Ozine Fest is the easiest choice. It's the biggest event of the year and it happens in April. It's a summer so a lot of folks go to this event. Cosplay Mania and Best of Anime seem to be big events but Ozine Fest is everything, not only catered for the cosplayers, but for the casual anime fans as well. There are gaming tournaments and a lot of games and bands performing.

Event/Convention of the Year: Minor Category

  • 4th Philippine Cosplay Convention
  • Tamashii Con
  • Metro Comic Con
  • 5th TAGCOM Toys & Hobbies Collection
  • Otaku Expo 2011
  • Cosplay Got Talent – Season 2
I picked Otaku Expo. PCC looks big so they can be put into the semi-major category. Everything else is minor. Otaku Expo is the smaller version of Ozine Fest but a few people go at this time. It happens in January.

Event/Convention of the Year: Online Gaming Events

  • Pinoy Gaming Festival
  • Level Up LIVE!
  • E-Games Domination
I picked Level Up Live! Since the merge with E-Games, I think Level Up is so much better now.

Male Anime Character of the Year

  • Endou Mamoru of Inazuma Eleven
  • Natsu Dragneel of Fairy Tail
  • Takumi Usui of Kaichou wa Maid-sama!
  • Joey of Heroman
  • Saito Hiraga of Zero no Tsukaima
  • Souta Takanashi of Working!!
  • Shin Kanzato of Persona: Trinity Soul
  • Rygart Arrow of Broken Blade
  • Rikuo Nura of Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan
  • Lag Seeing of Letter Bee
  • Akihisa Yoshii of Baka and Test: Summon the Beast
  • Tatsumi Oga of Beelzebub
  • Joon Sang Kang of Winter Sonata
  • Takashi Komuro of Highschool of the Dead
I picked Nura because he has the patience and the strength when fighting. Others are driven by emotion/emotional or that they are clumsy, has the White Knight trait in them. Oga fights delinquents so he is a little annoying. Lag feels stupid sometimes. Takashi shows his emotional side a lot. Souta likes small girls. Kanzato is not as appealing. Usui is more of the face. Natsu seems to be aggressive. I don't find Mamoru, Joey, Joon Sang Kang and Arrow interesting. Saito is still loyal to the bitch even if he goes with other girls. Akihisa is a baka.

Female Anime Character of the Year

  • Lucy Heartfillia of Fairy Tail
  • Misaki Ayuzawa of Kaichou wa Maid-sama!
  • Lina of Heroman
  • Louise de La Vallière of Zero no Tsukaima
  • Poplar Taneshima of Working!!
  • Sigyn Erster of Broken Blade
  • Mizuki Sakaki of Lovely Idol
  • Tsurara Oikawa of Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan
  • Niche of Letter Bee
  • Mizuki Himeji of Baka and Test: Summon the Beast
  • Hilda of Beelzebub
  • Yoo Jin of Winter Sonata
  • Rei Miyamoto of Highschool of the Dead
Misaki is my pick because she seems to be a popular choice. Tsurara is another but I find Kana and Yura more interesting. Saeko and Saya instead of Rei, Aoi instead of Hilda, Yamada instead of Poplar, Henrietta instead of Louise and Erza instead of Lucy. Shouko is more interesting and maybe Minami over Himeji.

Anime Theme Song of the Year

  • “Kanpeki gu~no ne” by Watarirouka Hashiri Tai – Fairy Tail ED1
  • “Dadada” by Group Tamashii – Beelzebub OP1
  • “missing” by Kylee – Heroman OP2
  • “SOMEONE ELSE” by Kana Asumi, Saki Fujita and Eri Kitamura – Working!! OP1
  • “Magia” by Kalafina – Puella Magi Madoka Magica ED1
  • “Destin Histoire” by yoshiki*lisa – GOSICK OP1
  • “Asu e” by Galileo Galilei – Mobile Suit Gundam AGE OP1
  • “My Dearest” by supercell – Guilty Crown OP1
Since all of the songs are awesome in their own way. Let's pick. missing's tune is kinda catchy. SOMEONE ELSE is good but there's something better than that. Kanpeki is not interesting for an ED. Be as one is a better ED from Fairy Tail as well. The 3rd OP of Beelzebub is good and is much better than Dadada. Asu e seems gloomy. Destin Histoire has power but could not beat Magia. Magia from Kalafina is one of their best singles but even if they are good, the experience of supercell wins here. My Dearest gets my vote. Kalafina is still young. The girls started their career at 22/23 years old, they blend their voices together but the experience is still lacking. In a few years, they will only get better. If they can match the popularity of Kuribayashi Minami and Mizuki Nana (even if they are pop stars and not singing in a group), maybe they will be very successful.
Of course I would have put other songs in there given the chance. Light My Fire by KOTOKO should be in nomination, Love Song by LM.C, In My World by Rookiez is Punk'd are just some of the songs that should have been up there.

Japan’s Newest Title

  • Puella Magi Madoka Magica
  • GOSICK
  • Tiger & Bunny
  • Steins;Gate
  • Ano Hana
  • Denpa Onna
  • Blood-C
  • Mayo Chiki!
  • Gundam AGE
  • Persona 4
  • Fate/Zero
  • Guilty Crown
  • Kimi ni Todoke 2
  • The World God Only Knows 2
  • Shakugan no Shana III – Final
Steins;Gate is my pick. Madoka and Ano Hana don't come as close as this. Fate/Zero is divided into 2 seasons and Shana doesn't reach the level of Ano Hana. Tiger and Bunny is good but it seems to be overlooked. GOSICK is not as good as the ones above but decent story. Kimi ni Todoke 2, Kaminomi 2 and Mayo Chiki! are not even half of the success of Steins;Gate. Guilty Crown had a lot of negative criticism even if the ending was decent. Blood-C is at the bottom of the list but the saving grace was Mizuki Nana-sama and Junketsu Paradox. I find it weird that Mawaru Penguindrum is not on the list. It's severely underrated but could be on the top 5 anime of 2011.

Singer/Voice Actress Shokotan Describes Her Dating Type



On a Saturday television broadcast featuring a concert by Shoko Nakagawa ("Shokotan") celebrating 10 years since her debut, the singer/actress stated that now, at 27, she has started to feel a strong desire to give birth to a child with "otaku genes." When asked about the type of man she would like to date, she answered that her type is a "macho otaku who likes cats" with "long silver hair" and who "coughs up blood for some reason."
Nakagawa recently starred as Madoka in the live-action comedy inspired by Puella Magi Madoka Magica anime that premiered last month at the Nico Nico Chōkaigi convention. She is also starring in and singing the theme song for the Saint Seiya Omega television anime series.

via My Game News Flash

What I think:

It's good I'm not one of them. I'm not the kind of person who likes animals so much, doesn't have long hair and is macho.

I do respect her decisions if that's what she wants. Her singing career and being herself (Shoko) is what people might remember her for. I haven't watched Saint Seiya Omega since I'm not an old school kind of guy and also I think that I must follow the original series if I wanna understand what's happening in there.


I feel that she's fooling her fans once again, most likely to gain attention.

Hyouka - Episode 2

Read the damn book.
Solving mysteries again? You guessed it right. It might be a letdown to others but please think of it as build up and just introductory episodes. Things will only get exciting from here.

Anyway there's a new girl named Ibara Mayaka who really knows Hōtarō in a long while. I think she is the childhood friend of Hōtarō if I'm not mistaken so there are 4 of them in the classics club. She has an interest with Satoshi so the more the merrier. I won't buy into pairings so even if it's quite evident that Hōtarō x Eru and Satoshi x Mayaka are the pairings this episode, I don't think the anime would have romance as a big element in the story.

So moving on to the mystery, it's not a big deal about the book. It's said that there are 5 people who borrowed the book according to the log. I think one borrowed it on a Friday and every Friday, another one gets to borrow it. It is revealed that they are from the art thing because Eru smelled the book. I like how Hōtarō analyzed that there was no time to read the book in between lunch break and dismissal class. At first I thought this mystery was good but too easy to solve.

At the end, there was a cliffhanger about Eru's 'confession'. We will find out in a few days what it is and it seems she's serious.

Hyouka - Episode 1

What's this? Nice artwork




First episode on the way, Eru's eyes were sparkly. She's definitely an eye candy material don't you think? Anyway Kyoto Animation did a good job on the fluidity of the animation. Themes were presented in a way that it would be interesting to many viewers. I kinda expected a very good performance overall from Kyoto Animation, who are actually coming off their recent anime in Nichijou, which was their only anime project last year besides the K-On! movie.

Hōtarō isn't really a character I would really want to deal with. True, he's smart but there have been male leads with the "I don't care stuff." I can only guess that he will get better. To start off, he rants on things about people spending their energy on clubs. He wants to get things done in a flash. He doesn't want to spend his energy on useless things unless he needs to. Anyway, he joins the Classical Club which to me, isn't really a good name for a club without goals, missions and what like. It felt more to me like an investigation club so there. The Classical Club is almost on the brink of disbanding so Hōtarō's sister told him to join the club. Even if he acts in a way that would make him a loner or an outcast, Chitanda Eru  and Satoshi (Hōtarō's friend) might be the ones to give him that character development later on.

Chitanda Eru is a very beautiful. She had captivating eyes and a nice face. Her personality is like the happy-go-lucky type with a childlike innocence.

As for the story, the little mysteries are a start. The locked door was kinda lame since even an ordinary student can find out what happened. What bugged me is the part where the room is next to the staircase, so I thought Eru was able to pass by the rail just outside the window of the staircase and somehow, get into the room by the window. The Silk Spider Association club was just a small piece of paper, I just don't get why Hōtarō had to reveal the whole thing to Eru but the day ends and Hōtarō still doesn't give a care to the world.

Anyway nice episode.
