By the way, Chiaki, it seems like Minami-ke will be animated again.

I heard that, too. Congratulations! Haruka-neesama.

You, too. Chiaki. We’ll do our best again.

Yes, oneesama. Let’s do our best.

Why did you say that? I wanted to say that Minami-ke would be animated and give congratulations. I should have been the one to announce that.

We used to do OAV before.

I hope that this will be on television.

And now, we’re out of time.

Tokyo MX, Tochigi TV, Gunma TV, and other television stations will show the first episode of the new series one month early, starting on September 3.

The anime is based on Karino Takatsu’s manga of the same name, which revolves around a high school freshman named Sota Takanashi who works part-time among a restaurant’s high-spirited, eccentric, yet cool staffers. The first season aired during the spring 2010 anime season. NIS America, the American subsidiary of the Nippon Ichi Software videogame company, licensed the series last November and released it under the name Wagnaria!! earlier this year.

Working!! (2nd Season) will formally launch in Japan this October, after the preview showing.

Kimi ni Todoke 2nd Season Coming This January http://zotaku.com/2010/10/06/kimi-ni-todoke-2nd-season-coming-this-january/ http://zotaku.com/2010/10/06/kimi-ni-todoke-2nd-season-coming-this-january/#comments Wed, 06 Oct 2010 06:13:48 +0000 zenical http://zotaku.com/?p=10741 This year, Kimi ni Todoke Season 1 ended with an ending that I wasn’t quite satisfied with. It led to me thinking that there might be a Season 2.

And well, the November issue of Shueisha’s Bessatsu Margaret magazine is announcing on its cover next Wednesday that the second season of the Kimi ni Todoke television anime series has been green-lit. Woot!

This means more Sadako – I mean Sawako ^_^.

The new season will premiere next January on the NTV network in Japan.

Currently the live-action film adaptation of Karuho Shiina’s original manga is already playing in Japan. It premiered on 25 Septemeber 2010. I recognised the actor who’s acting as Kazehaya! :D Love him a lot, hopefully I can get to watch it in cinema.. O.O.

Mitsudomoe 2nd Season Green-lit http://zotaku.com/2010/09/06/mitsudomoe-2nd-season-green-lit/ http://zotaku.com/2010/09/06/mitsudomoe-2nd-season-green-lit/#comments Mon, 06 Sep 2010 14:49:54 +0000 zenical http://zotaku.com/?p=10092 Rejoice!! If you have been catching Mitsudomoe this season, you should be thrilled that a second season has been given the green light!!

According to the cover note of Volume 10 manga, the second season of Mitsudomoe was announced. The information has already been leaked by animator Kubo Satoshi last Tuesday, August 31st. Kubo said it will start in January 2011.

I am extremely excited for more nonsense from the triplets :D Mitsudomoe is seriously one show you shouldn’t be missing. Please do not turn away from the anime just because they look like lolis. :P. My fave character is Futaba, the second of the triplets! She is obsessed with oppais. :D

New Yumeiro Patissiere’s Series to Start in October http://zotaku.com/2010/08/30/new-yumeiro-patissieres-series-to-start-in-october/ http://zotaku.com/2010/08/30/new-yumeiro-patissieres-series-to-start-in-october/#comments Mon, 30 Aug 2010 06:02:13 +0000 zenical http://zotaku.com/?p=9946 Every Sunday morning, I would catch Yumeiro Pastissiere. 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.
