Kodansha Announces Two New Negima Anime Produced by Studio Shaft


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On a foldout page in Weekly Shônen Magazine issue 13 (released March 1), Kôdansha officially announced two new anime based om Mahou Sensei Negima! will be produced.

Production will be moved from Xebec to Shaft and will feature the creative talents of Akiyuki Shinbo (director) and Kazuhiro Ota (character designer), the team that produced Pani Poni Dash!

Spring Edition, one of the new Negima anime will be screened at a Negima event held by Kôdansha and King Records
at Tokyo Kôseinenkin Kaikan on April 23rd. A discussion featuring voice actresses from Negima will also be a part of the event. The application coupon to attend the Negima event is included in Weekly Shônen Magazine.

Release details for the new anime have not yet been announced to the public.

The best anime on TV here at the moment has got to be Samurai Champloo. It's SO cool! Don't know if it's going to be released outside Japan, but look out for it!

I DLed the OVA episode (which is Episode 11, which was never released in the west). But the series isn't out in Scotland for another month, so I haven't see it or watched the OVA. I have heard its the weirdest blend of ultra-violence and cuteness even made though.

Mm I find those new animes like Mai otome and karin kinda dry..

I essentially DLed it because all of the pics of the two girls hugging only to be really disappointed at the lack of shoujo-ai in it.

Also Dling at the moment but haven't watched a single episode of;

Kage Kara Mamoru!
Kakyuusei 2
Ichigo 100%
Lamune
Magikano
Pani Poni Dash!
School Rumble
Rozen Maiden
Starship Girl Yamamoto Yohko TV
Tactical Roar
Shinigami no Ballad
Bincho-tan
Aria
Canvas
Da Capo 2

Hey does anyone else watch Elfen Lied? I just saw the last episode's yesterday & i was wondering if anyone know's if they are planning to make more? I would love to know.
Thanks

Anyone watch Gokujou Seitokai? Its anime I watched last year, but the fansubs of the second and third last eps only just came out today......... they where..... insane

Leliel, I see you have Madlax in you're sig, you watched DVD 1 yet? I bought it on Monday, it was quite good. Not as good as Noir, but enjoyable.

Here's a question, does anyone have any Video Game or western TV series/movie they think would be great as an anime?

I Just realized just how rarely I watch non anime.

Does anybody know if the FMA movie is being dubbed and released in the U.S?

FUNimation has announced its acquisition of North American theatrical and home video distribution rights to last year's successful live action Japanese romantic action film Shinobi ~Heart Under Blade~. The movie is based on Futaro Yamada's novel Kouga Ninpoucho, which was also adapted into the manga and anime TV series Basilisk.

Update on that new GITS anime. Its a movie, which will last 90 minutes.
Here's a question, does anyone have any Video Game or western TV series/movie they think would be great as an anime?

Personally I'd love to see a series based on Resident Evil, DragonLane and Final Fantasy 7/8 (Last Order style, not that childish Unlimited).

Also I'd love it if they did a prequal anime triology to Star Wars, like three movies covering the Darth Revan war and another three charting the original Jedi/Sith war.

Also interesting would be anime versions of Dead or Alive and Breath of Fire series would also be cool. An anime DOA would certainly be better than the awful looking movie which is comming out soon.

nah, personally I think anime made from games, turn out to be either stupid or rubbish. or both.

but anime made into games tend to be good. (ghost in the shell etc).

saying that, evangelion would make an interesting game....

I notice anime games always tend to be rather good, but sport terrible sales, because the anime itself might not be too popular

Chrono Crusade was a good enough anime. Made me think of a comedy Hellsing almost. I actually think it was stronger when it remained a comedy, as opposed to when it turned serious. But, thats just my opinion. Truth be told I stopped collecting it at Volume 3 because I heard about the *spoiler*angst ending.

Have any of you watched School Rumble season two? I was expecting it to be less funnier than the first season but I ended up enjoying it just as much as the first season so far. But we'll see how it goes.
