Ghibli classic Kiki’s Delivery Service is receiving a (Japanese) live action adaptation, and for once there is some enthusiasm that it may not be butchered – based largely on the response to rookie 16-year-old actress Fuuka Koshiba’s “picture perfect” cosplay casting as Kiki.
Full Metal Alchemist and Silver Spoon mangaka Hiromu Arakawa’s latest manga has been announced as being yet another adaptation of fantasy novel series The Heroic Legend of Arslan, perplexing fans.

Studio Ghibli has announced its next movie will be an anime adaptation of famous children’s story “The Borrowers,” to be entitled Karigurashi no Arrietty with a theatrical release due in 2010.
Ah, I see what you did there. Well played, Sir.... More
I'm going to predict how this adaptation will go. The female character will act exactly like Ghibli's previous female characters. She will also look like Ghibli's previous female characters, only more obviously white. Then comes the usual... More
A passage describing Nazi guillotine sex action has won the unprestigious 2009 Bad Sex In Fiction Award, thanks to such memorable phrases as “I came suddenly, a jolt that emptied my head like a spoon scraping the inside of a soft-boiled egg,” and “This sex was watching at me, spying on me, like a Gorgon’s head, like a motionless Cyclops whose single eye never blinks.”
The much awaited Gundam Unicorn series has been confirmed as being an OVA of 6 parts, each of 50 minutes.

Upcoming epic fantasy anime Guin Saga, which as we heard is the adaptation of the famed 120 volume series of novels by Kaoru Kurimoto, has received a firm air date, starting April on NHK BS2, as well as some further details.
Most interestingly, we see something of the “charactor” designs:
A lady novelist has been arrested for a variety of indecent acts with an infatuated schoolgirl fan.
A TV anime adaptation of sci-fi novel Shangri-La has been announced. Perhaps most notably, the art design will be provided by the great 村田蓮爾 / Range Murata, so that alone should be interesting to see.
murata+gonzo=win blue sub no6 and last exile were both really good. hopefully this won't be another mardock scramble... More
Gonzo has some decent animation lately (Druaga, Blassreiter), and since they won't get that much power to alter the story (seeing as there's already one) I think it should turn out well.... More
The colossal and highly successful グイン・サーガ / Guin Saga series of fantasy novels, by 栗本薫 / Kaoru Kurimoto, now standing at over 120 volumes, will be adapted into an anime airing in the spring of 2009. The announcement was made on the cover (obi) of the just released 122nd volume, though that there was activity in adapting it to anime has been discussed for a few years (three years ago, in fact).
This is sure to be an interesting project, and possibly the start of a major mixed media franchise, although as yet further details are lacking. Via Moonphase.
Sorry for the double post. Also, I know it was only on the obi, but out of rhetorical speculation I wonder if they're going to attempt something long-term and take a stab at all 122... More
This all just makes me more curious as to how the anime will turn out, and whether it will be a long running series. And best of all, even if it's no good one can... More
