Seikon no Qwaser Manga to Get TV Anime Adaption

I just love it when Manga gets their TV Anime Adaption. Don’t you?
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.

The story is known for its heavy emphasis on fan service, using breast milk as the plot device (lol?!). The manga started has been running since 2006, and the seven volume will be released for sale this month in Japan. ^_^

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

The title of the theme song has yet to be made public, but I know definitely the song will be awesome. Love the song Beautiful World which was also sang by Hikaru Utada for the first film ending credits.
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 …

The accident occurred on April 14 when Kawaguchi was going out to get lunch and skidded in the rain. The fracture occurred …

Basquash on Youtube

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.
The 4th series of Nanoha known as Mahou Senki Lyrical Nanoha Force, debuts on Nyantype in April. That being said, I read online scanlations of the manga just a few minutes ago, and I really want it made into an anime T_T. Despite reading the news on …

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 …

Dragonball Evolution Trailer

 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 …
