    Unlikely. I enjoy both the SnK manga and anime, what I read of this manga was spectacularly awful, boring, racist, and stupid. Basically, the human characters are all Spiderman ripoffs (using different insects) who get slaughtered... More

Kuratch

Kuratch

Seeing his works in detail, I thought it might be interesting to pick them up; these images are by Kuratch, a Hokkaido based artist with a background in design and an interest in SF, both of which come through strongly in his art.

Kemeko Deluxe: The Unknown Anime

ケメコデラックス! / Kemeko Deluxe! The Unknown Girlfriend

Having just begun to air, ケメコデラックス! / Kemeko Deluxe: The Unknown Girlfriend, based on a popular manga, is an anime which is hard to describe, but to put it inelegantly, it is an ecchi school romance comedy SF betrothal battle anime.

At its heart, I would say it is a surreal comedy in the vein of Hare+Guu, with all the additional elements piled on top. It is as hard to evaluate as it is to describe…

Shangri-La Range Murata Anime Confirmed

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.

    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

Shame their budget or venue wouldn’t stretch to 1:1 on this model.

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.
