(Or Wagnaria!!) project in development.

According to a certain pin-up poster included in the 22nd issue, the new project is the next step after the ongoing second television anime season this Fall 2011 – but the poster does not specify the project’s release format or even if the project is anime or live-action.

Anyone watching the 2nd season of Working!! ? Currently watching it and I have to say I like the minor developments they made for the characters. Even Oto0-san’s story came into the plot ^^”.

What will the new project be? I have a feeling it might be an anime movie! :O

More information to be revealed in future issues of Jump Square.

The Blu-ray versions of the two Rurouni Kenshin original video anime (OVA) and Rurouni Kenshin: Ishin Shishi no Chinkonka [Requiem] film will ship between August 24 and October 26. Compilation CD will ship on July 27. A new game for the PSP system, titled Rurouni Kenshin, Meiji Kenkaku Romantan Saisen has already been out last month.

I remember catching the anime back on TV when I was young. I love the OP, still remember how it sounds like up till today. Really one of my fave anime series. New Kenshin anime? I’m all up for it. I know many fans might be against this but hey, Fullmetal Alchemist remake (Brotherhood) wasn’t that bad. It got better towards the end!

I’m neutral (probably because I stopped at Episode 5 and I still feel no sense of urgency to rush the remainder of the episodes xD). The official website of Puella Magi Madoka Magica has made an announcement on Sunday that the anime will resume its 11th and 12th episodes — the final scheduled episodes — on April 21.

The MBS television station in the Kansai area will run the 11th and 12th episodes back-to-back on Thursday, April 21 at 26:40 (effectively Friday, April 22 at 2:40 a.m.) The TBS television station in Tokyo’s Kanto area will run the 10th, 11th, and 12th episodes on Thursday, April 21 at 27:00 (Friday, April 22 at 3:00 a.m.) TBS had preempted its airing of the 10th episode due to its news coverage of the earthquake. CBC in central Japan will also air the last three episodes on Sunday, April 24 at 26:45 (Monday, April 25 at 2:45 a.m.).

I’m probably going to wait for the final episodes to air before catching up on the anime.. I am as confused as hell what is happening in the show. I only know I hate QB a lot ^^”.

Any further news about the continuation of the broadcasts or streams will be announced on the official website. On the Official Twitter, it is reported that the staff is aimming for the middle of April to get through the final episode

The first five volumes of the anime releases on DVD and Blu-ray have also been delayed by one month.

Volume 1: 30 March > 27 April
Volume 2: 27 April > 25 May
Volume 3: 25 May > 22 June
Volume 4: 22 June > 27 July
Volume 5: 27 July > 24 August

The staff have already revealed that they have been working on episodes 11 and 12, and the 11th episode was scheduled to be streamed this week before the announcements. However, the official website does not list a Blu-ray or DVD release for the volume containing these episodes. The third volume of the manga version has also been delayed to a date to be announced.

I only watched till Episode 5 and I don’t feel any connection to the anime series at all. I don’t know whats the hype as to all the other comrades – maybe that’s why I’m not interested in the anime after 5 episodes. Lol.

So far 46 episodes have been aired. Only 4 more to go before the show ends. Quite frankly I was a bit disappointed that the show was going to end so soon. I love the Sweet Spirits in the show (little chibi characters helping the humans in their dream to become a Patissiere)! Looks like I won’t be disappointed after all.

The October issue of Shueisha’s Ribon magazine has confirmed that a new Yumeiro Patissiere anime series will premiere on October 3. The anime series will be titled “Yumeiro Patissiere Professional”.

Unlike the first television series, which adapted the shoujo manga by Natsumi Matsumoto (St. Dragon Girl) about a teenaged pastry chef trainee, the new series will take place several years later. The former trainee, Ichigo Amano, is now an adult, and the cast will add new characters. More information on the new anime will be provided in the November issue of Ribon.

Interesting. I always like shows whereby the characters grow up and we will be watching their adult life. Can’t wait for it XD.

Lol. With the way they ended the show, I highly doubt that there will be a second season. However, word has it that the 7th BD/DVD volume will include a special unaired episode.

In addition to that, both BD and DVD volumes will bundle a bonus DVD that contain the making-of and also a booklet.

Production for Toaru Kagaku no Railgun OVA has been confirmed as you can see from the image above (it is a flyer included in the preview sample of its manga’s 5th volume). No other news has been released about the OVA other than it is slated for an October 29 release. That is just four months away! (T_T). Oh well… At least we will get more Misaka =).

It is most probably going to be just a single episode OVA, so I really hope that it is going to be epic! Or really really funny =). Let us all wait and see for ourselves.
