According to the channel’s schedule on May 24th (The date the 8th episode is supposed to run) an episode titled “Sasa no Ha Rhapsody” or “Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody” will air. Not only is that not an episode title of any in the first season, but this would be the title of the next episode of season two if season two …

The June issue of Akita Shoten Champion RED magazine will announce on Tuesday that development has begun on a television adaptation of Hiroyuki Yoshino and Kenetsu Satou’s Seikon no Qwaser manga.

It has been announced that Hikaru Utada will be singing the theme song of Evangelion: 2.0 – You Can (Not) Advance film.

Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance will premiere in Japan on 27 June 2009. Hope Singapore would get the film not too long after that!
Are you looking forward to the second …

It seems that Kadokawa Anime Channel is streaming the first two episodes of the anime series Basquash on Youtube!
Curious whether Basquash is worth catching, I checked up the plot summary from ANN. Here it is as quoted:
On the planet Earthdash, its inhabitants gaze on its moon and the technologically advanced lunar city of Mooneyes with awe. Dan JD, a boy living in Rollingtown on Earthdash’s surface, gets caught up in Bigfoot Basketball — a fast-paced sport played with giant Bigfoot robots.
It sounds fun, a mixture of mecha plus sports? Maybe …

Nyantype magazine just came out a few days ago in Japan. I have yet to grab a copy at the local Kinokuniya, will probably do so once I have recovered from this terrible flu I have. Hopefully there will still be copies available.. Lol.

How long do you think you can lie and trick people into believing that you are someone special or talented? Well this College Lecturer managed to trick two universities into believing that he is Takeshi Honda for 8 YEARS.
Khara, the anime studio founded by Evangelion creator and director Hideaki Anno, announced on Friday that a person had been misappropriating the name of Khara animator Takeshi Honda to teach at two universities.
However the real Honda has not been teaching classes in universities or vocation schools. In an investigation that it began …

So what happens when you mix one of the most popular mainstream anime ever with Hollywood?
Apparently a Dragonball Movie… It comes out in 2009 for those lucky enough not to have heard about it yet, and a decent trailer was just released. All I can say is – Goku is American o.o
I’m not even sure who this movie is targeted at? Little kids? Because they don’t show Dragonball or Z any more… Older fans? Because no one above the age of 15 is going to have the guts to go …
