Tytania – New SF Anime Air Details

Air dates for upcoming SF anime タイタニア / Tytania have been released by NHK; the anime is an adaptation of highly acclaimed author 田中芳樹 / Yoshiki Tanaka’s space opera novels

Air dates for upcoming SF anime タイタニア / Tytania have been released by NHK; the anime is an adaptation of highly acclaimed author 田中芳樹 / Yoshiki Tanaka’s space opera novels of the same name, and so at least has promising source material. His other notable works include 銀河英雄伝説 / Legend of the Galactic Heroes and アルスラーン戦記 / Arslan Senki.

Air details are that it is set to air on NHK BS2 at 23:32 each Thursday, starting in October.

Visual details of the anime seem a little scarce at moment (in fact completely absent), so we’ll just have to wait and see how it turns out.

    Looks kinda cool. For some reason it's reminiscent, for me at least, of the first Gundam series' artwork.... More

Tales of the Abyss Anime Confirmed?

Anise Tatlin - Tales of the Abyss anime?

It seems that unofficial confirmation of a Tales of the Abyss anime is forthcoming by way of a mention of the title in an anime producer’s portfolio of products worked on. Apparently the production staff has already been settled up to episode 7, so an official announcement can’t be that far away. Other details are still lacking. Moon Phase thinks this can serve as reliable confirmation, and Moon Phase certainly qualifies as a reliable source for such matters.

As an aside, the same source reveals the progress of a new Inuyasha title, although details on this are even scarcer.

I can’t help but be enthused by this news, since Tales of the Abyss probably ranks as my favourite console RPG; hopefully they will do it justice. Looking forward to seeing some more of Anise and Ion, and all the others…

    They said episode 7 already has staff, so it sounds too long to be an OVA... 13 episodes is my guess.... More

    Kinda amused as well, though there's still no definite answer to whether it's a TV series or an OVA...... More

Kisaragi Gunma’s Love Selection to get Ero OVA

如月群真 / Kisaragi Gunma - Giri Giri Sisters, Love Selection

The excellent erotic manga Love Selection, by 如月群真 / Kisaragi Gunma, is due to get an anime adaptation for release at the end of August, produced by Pink Pineapple. This potentially great news somehow got buried at the bottom of one of Heisei Democracy’s ever informative updates.

I must admit that lately I have not been impressed with the output of some of these studios – it seems the need to appeal to a common denominator means less original works find themselves adapted, and those that do often suffer inferior or mediocre animation which hardly recommends itself over the original manga. Still, it is quite possible this will turn out well.


Count & Fairy Anime Adaptation

Count & Fairy Anime Adaptation

An anime adaptation of 谷瑞恵 / Tani Mizue’s popular light novel series 伯爵と妖精 / Hakushaku to Yousei, Count & Fairy, has been officially announced. Staff will include participants in Fate/Stay Night and Mushishi, so high things are expected of the anime, though whether it will appeal to a broader demographic than the above cover art suggests is unclear. Cats in top hats will apparently feature, in a 19th century London setting, as well as fairies, unsurprisingly enough. Official site here, source here.

屍姫 / Shikabane Hime & とある魔術の禁書目録 / To Aru Majutsu no Indekkusu are in the works

Two interesting new anime adaptations are pending announcement, according to Moon Phase. First up is 屍姫 / Shikabane Hime, “Corpse Princess”, a manga which focuses on gun toting zombie hunting school girls and so is sure to be popular; though the author is renowned for his reluctance to grant upskirt schoolgirl panchira (he seems to rely on strategically placed guns instead, or possibly nopan as evidenced by the above cover), so it may be interesting to see how it works in motion.

Secondly is the interestingly named とある魔術の禁書目録 / To Aru Majutsu no Indekkusu, “A Certain Magical Index”, which promises to explore the largely uncharted territory of nun moe and nun service through fantastic magical comedy. You may not have heard of either of them, but if the anime adaptations go through that will change soon enough, I’d wager; “A Certain Magical Index” has already run the usual course of manga/novel/drama CD adaptation, so it seems likely the only direction is now to game and anime status, and Shikabane Hime has plenty of volumes already out, so its success seems to have been established.
