The Daily Dose June 22

  • I apologize for the lack of Daily Doses recently. The Summer 2008 Preview is taking a lot longer than I thought to write because I have quite a bit to say about some of the series. I’m compiling this Daily Dose because I don’t want to fall too far behind on the news, and because I want to point people to the newest Parallel Works video.
  • This week’s Gurren Lagann Parallel Works belongs to artist SUEZEN, and it combines the instrumental track BafBaf! Sonna ni Moeru no ga…Suki Kai? with video of Viral and the others playing a Gurren Lagann themed pachinko machine. It’s an amusing watch, though I still like last week’s more, both in song and in accompanying video. It’s hard to beat “raw! raw! fight the power!”

  • Gonzo plans to stream the upcoming summer anime Strike Witches on crunchyroll and YouTube like it did with Druaga and Blassreiter.
  • There were a lot of new anime announced this week. First up, MOON PHASE reports that kiss x sis, the manga by Mahoromatic author Ditama Bow, is getting a television anime series. Details will be released in next issue of Bessatsu Young Magazine.
  • Tabletop RPG Queen’s Blade is also getting a television anime series.
  • Popular shoujo manga Skip Beat! is getting a television anime series this fall as well. It will be produced by Hal Film Maker and will be directed by Sayama Kiyoko.
  • Game company Leaf’s White Album is also getting an anime and a PS3 port.
  • In music news, the new ED theme for SOUL EATER will be Style by Nishino Kana. The new ED theme for D.Gray-man will be Changin’ by Stephanie. The new ED theme for Bleach will be Gallop by pe’zmoku. Thanks Haz.
  • The website for upcoming summer anime Koihime Musou has (finally) updated with new information.
  • 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.

      great job omni, lovin the daily dose post.. i also think this weeks gurren lagann video was good (almost as good as the last one)

      omg! finally skip beat anime!! awesome~ i love how theres a dramatic mood for pachinko

      I’m seconding the joy for a Skip Beat! anime- done right, it will be hilarious. Hopefully the production values will be decent too…

      Third the joy for Skip Beat! finally getting animated. I think if they execute it well, they can really make the series come to life (like it should be)!

      I’m just nitpicking at this point but can these segments really be called “The Daily Dose” if it’s not daily? Unless of course your definition of a day is something other than the standard 24 earth hour period.

      Nevertheless, good job on this update. I’m looking forward to your summer preview.

      CHANGING’ is a collab between tanaka roma AND stephanie.

      Laugh @ pachinko machine
      I just hope that the Queen’s Blade series won’t end up looking too much like Ikki Tousen..
      Looking forward to the summer preview

      Skip Beat turning into an anime is one of the best anime-related news I had heard all year. If the anime is as good as the manga, then it should be one of my most favorite animes ever.

      Great job Omni keep it up. With the daily dose, your blog is going further and further above and beyoond what others have. Loving the daily dose, gives me so much info I would never know otherwise.

      Leave it up to Gurren Lagann to make a game of pachinko more epic than it really is.

    12. Yukiruchan at 1:25 am on June 23rd, 2008

      Waiting for summer preview!

    13. Hoshi at 2:12 am on June 23rd, 2008

      oh god, poor viral. loved the look on his face

    14. william at 3:39 am on June 23rd, 2008

      kissXsis manga is pretty explicit, that shows gonna be fun

    15. Kaineng at 3:47 am on June 23rd, 2008

      About the new Bleach Ending… well I was also one of them who *gasp* on it, and den found it on YouTube too… but den looks like there was confusion on pe’zmoku website noe, there was also one .net instead of the .com, why can’t they just make up their minds?

    16. nobody important at 4:36 am on June 23rd, 2008

      Queen’s Blade? lol

      Sexy warrior women with almost-not-there skimpy armour beating down on each other with pointy weapons? Yes please, that sounds interesting. :)

      falconx0101: Did you miss this post where I basically said I was suspending the daily part of the Daily Dose until I finished writing the Summer 2008 Preview? The daily part will return once I’m done with that (which should be soon hopefully), but I’m not going to change the name because that’d just lead to more confusion.

      “The new ED theme for D.Gray-man will be Changin’ by Stephanie.”
      omg yes O____O -has made my day- i can’t wait to hear/see it, the animation plus the song 8D omg!! -awaits episode 91- x3

    19. carbon at 5:59 am on June 23rd, 2008

      Well when I read this post yesterday I decided to check out skip beat and OMG, if the anime is done right I’m going to be very happy, instead of a “shoujo heroine with a broken heart” lead we will will get a character that was a good person till their abilty to love at was destroyed, if done right it will be shoujo for guys and I for one am stoked.

      LOL! Simon won and got lucky 7. So Kamina was revived cool! Wish slot machines are made that way in real life.
