The Daily Dose June 10

  • The third Bleach movie will premiere in December.
  • The Slayers Revolution website has updated with a cast list (the main voice actors are still the same as always) and airdates.
  • The first episode of the mobile phone anime Chocolate Underground will be available this Thursday, June 12th.
  • The production blog for the upcoming Mission-E anime (the sequel to CODE-E) has updated with airdates.
  • The official site for the new Sky Crawlers movie has a trailer for the Ghost in the Shell 2.0 movie. Both are Oshii Mamoru-directed works.
  • According to MOON PHASE, upcoming GAINAX series Shikabane Hime Aka will have Murata Masahiko as director, Aikawa Shou on the script, and Kubota Chikashi & Sadakata Kikuko doing the character designs.
  • The official Nodame Cantabile website has updated with staff and airdate information for the Paris sequel. It’ll be returning to FujiTV’s Noitamina programming block on Thursday nights starting in October, however this sequel will only be 11 episodes long. That’s unlikely to be long enough to cover a lot, so I wonder what point they’ll stop at. As for production, J.C.Staff is still animating the series, but I was surprised to see that Kasai Kenichi will no longer be directing - instead it will be Higurashi director Kon Chiaki.
  • The To Aru Majutsu no Index website has updated to reflect the upcoming anime series.
  • Hearts Grow’s Sora will be the OP and Afromania’s will Let’s go together will be the ED to the upcoming Birdy the Mighty DECODE series. The official site also updated its airdates list.
  • If you find anything that you think I should mention on any particular day’s Daily Dose, please send me an email with the words “ANIME NEWS” somewhere in the subject line.

      Thanks for the news! This is so cool…

      Gits 2.0?? seems like a remake of the 1st movie in 3D…or is it?

    3. Cherubium at 6:25 am on June 10th, 2008

      Gee another Bleach movie. How sad, I’m just sticking to the manga.

      Yay an animated version of Nodame Cantabile. The live version of paris was funny and super sweet.

      Hmm I should check summer anime series. Winter’s failure still looms in the back of my mind.

      I’m curious to see Gits 2.0 as I loved both movies. The trailer is very poor however, mostly show scenes from the first movie and just in the end a bit of the upcoming second version.
      By 3D the mean it’ll be completely CG animated?? Like the .Hack Movie GU Trilogy??

      Nice to see another light novel series being adapted to an anime. The story sounds interesting too. 16 books out already - hope that won’t turn in such a merchandise mania like Shakugan no Shana - which second season rather disappointed me.

      11 episodes only for nodame? How about they take a break and wait for the manga first to finish before doing the anime>? That would leave a cliffhanger again…

    6. Rick at 8:28 am on June 10th, 2008

      i like the news keep me aware of any change,son can modify my schedule of anime .XD

    7. Sycia at 8:40 am on June 10th, 2008

      Slayers is BACK?! O_O omgwtfbbq! I was just listening to the soundtrack earlier and wishing I could see it all again! やった！最高！幸せ！ Cherry’s the bit about all the old staff coming back! *涙* Sure hope Xellos is still Ishida-san~ T_T

      Will never really understand why such cheery shows get shown at 1am though. But hey! It’s BACK!

      Best news for me ever since the year started! Thank you!

      Agreeing with Sycia SLAYERS IS BACK!?!?!?!?!?!!?!

      WHEN THE HECK DID THAT HAPPEN!? *joygasm*

      I seriously think hearing theres a new Slayers show/season/movie (whatever it is, it seems to have Zel and thus I’m happy) has made my day.

    9. 0405 at 9:06 am on June 10th, 2008

      I was pretty excited about the new GITS, until I realized Oshii was directing it. He ruined the first two, now he’s going to ruin another. :[

    10. miden at 9:29 am on June 10th, 2008

      yaayyy! XD slayers back0rs~!

    11. Yukiruchan at 9:46 am on June 10th, 2008

      YAY!! Slayers is back!
      And it’s going to be a continuation too, I hope?
      So we get to know how Gourry will get a new sword and maybe get introduced to Luna Inverse and Xelloss’s master Xellass Metallium?
      Amazing how my memory is. I can’t wait!

      Well, they took one year to start with movies, but now bleach has taken the same path as every shounen series with one movie per year.

      Only 11 episodes for Nodame? I feel a little dissapointed with this news; and I know one of my bets friends will feel the same.

      Nice art BTW

    13. Mia at 10:13 am on June 10th, 2008

      higurashi director….wow, even a cicada’s getting a job at directing.

    14. LastRegrets at 11:54 am on June 10th, 2008

      hmm..m hope that there’ll be no pool of blood in nodame cantibile.

      well, maybe a nosebleed but not a streak of blood leaking from the neck.

    15. Lyi at 12:21 pm on June 10th, 2008

      W00t! Looking forward to seeing the infamous Dragon Slave again :D.

    16. Sycia at 12:52 pm on June 10th, 2008

      Woots! Now that I’ve finally gotten over the excitement, I’d like to add a bit more:
      Slayers was my first anime that reeled me into the world of Japanese cartoons more 9 years ago. That kick-started something in me that led to me working towards a dream, going to Japan to study, becoming a fansubber and even a paid anime translator. I’ve always admired the lead character and used her personality as strength till today. Childish–it may seem–but hey, we all have our heroes (er, heroine).

      Through the years I’d go on Slayers marathon now and then, going through the entire 3 series within a few days–and would usually end up wishing and aching for more. But we know that Japan is famous for ending most of their animes for good.

      So this piece of news is a pleasant shock to the old fans. Suddenly the words ‘FIREBALL!’ ‘DIGU HALT!’ and ‘DRAGU-SLAVE!’ come back in a nostalgic rush. I’ll be going on another marathon very very soon.

      Omni, you can bet that today’s Daily Dose has not only been enlightening; it’s rekindled old passions and will reunite a community once lost in the sea of newer Japanese animations… :D
