The Daily Dose July 19

Filed under Anime News, Daily Dose by Omni | 33 comments

  • Both Tsubasa Chronicle and xxxHOLiC are getting Original Animation DVD (OAD) releases with upcoming volumes of their respective manga in a new CLAMP and Production I.G project. The first one, an xxxHOLiC episode, will come out with volume 14 of the xxxHOLiC manga in January of 2009, and the subsequent Tsubasa Chronicle episode will come out in February 2009 with volume 26 of the Tsubasa Chronicle manga. After Tokyo Revelations turned out so good, I’m glad to hear that there’ll be more by Production I.G. Thanks Julie for the heads up.
  • The School Rumble manga has ended. I hear a lot of people aren’t too happy about the way it ended, and there is a follow-up called School Rumble Z coming.
  • It’s now official that Xam’d Lost Memories will premiere in Japan via the Playstation Store in September. It will get a weekly release for 26 total episodes. The first episode is already available in the US Playstation Store, and I wrote about it here.
  • Popular fujoshi manga Tonari no 801-chan is getting an anime to be aired next year.
  • The official website for the upcoming Umineko no Naku Koro ni anime is now open.
  • The Gurren Lagann movie website is now hosting a trailer, though it requires Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player to watch. If for whatever reason you can’t watch it, don’t feel too bad because there’s nothing new in it other than some music.
  • 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.

      Where’s my School Rumble san gakki… bastards!!! :(

    4. rock at 11:04 am on July 19th, 2008

      I hate the way they ended the manga of school rumble, I hope that school rumble Z would be a continuation of school rumble san gakki

      Haha, the only interesting point in this post is the beautiful picture of Setsuna.

      School Rumble Z? That is like a bad joke!

      “I hear a lot of people aren’t too happy about the way it ended”

      Hobo Harima + time skip + Tenma vision + Pie Fight + Tenma ending only = rage

    8. KillerB at 11:36 am on July 19th, 2008

      ending was not done well.
      not much resolution for most of the characters.

    9. GhOsTeDgE at 11:38 am on July 19th, 2008

      ^^ And even after all that, KJ still prolly hit his magic reset button. =P

    10. Drakron at 11:38 am on July 19th, 2008

      Only Tenma got it … everyone else is stuck in Namek.

      Worst of all was Harima, this pretty just flushed 280 chapters of development.

    11. dustandechoes91 at 12:37 pm on July 19th, 2008

      Aww only 26 for x’amd. Although I wasnt expecting something the length of FMA i thought it would be along the lines of Eureka Seven

    12. Artanis at 12:53 pm on July 19th, 2008

      umineko wtf?

    13. Chicle at 1:21 pm on July 19th, 2008

      Umineko will be awesome.

    14. Ken at 1:34 pm on July 19th, 2008

      dude, when I was the school rumble was ending @ ANN, I was freaking out man…

      ehh, I hope Kenji and Tenma get together….

      @Drakron

      Couldn’t agree more. The story was doing good and just abruptly changed and now looks like it will end.
      It’s like either the mangaka just decided to quit or the publishers decided to pull the plug.

    16. Yukiruchan at 2:22 pm on July 19th, 2008

      Missed the doses!
      Hurrah for Tsubasa OVA! It’ll be great to see the Infinity arc which is my favorite.

    17. Chimasternmay at 5:15 pm on July 19th, 2008

      One more chapter to School rumble right…283… If 282 was last then people probably pissed because It was only a one sided ending , i mean what about Harima.

    18. BROOKLYN otaku at 6:13 pm on July 19th, 2008

      HAHAHA to all who still followed SCHOOL RUMBLE. i got sick of that “HOOK-UP-TEASE” thing a while ago…lotta people mad huh?? nigga please!! like u didnt see a disappointing ending coming?? but i guess u cant please everybody

    19. GP at 7:05 pm on July 19th, 2008

      c283 is the final, but I don’t think you’ll get much.

      It feels like the editors pulled the plug on this one guys. And lets face it, the whole thing was BS if it ends like this. It was reset after reset after reset. Talk about a POS.

    20. Crystalique Fairy at 7:52 pm on July 19th, 2008

      Thanks for sharing.

      Does.. this mean that Xam’d Lost Memories can only be watched with purchase from the playstation store? It won’t be available online anywhere?
