Hirano Aya’s official site has announced that she has gotten a regular spot on an upcoming late night variety show called Pikaru no teiri. Also at the same time she doesn’t have a regular spot on any anime for the coming autumn season.
She’s going to be on Downtown DX next week too, I guess she’s ready for normal TV now!
The official Kara no kyoukai website has announced that the Blu-ray disc box set will go on sale for 52,500 yen on the 2nd of February 2011 and it’ll contain a bonus disc with the final chapter of Kara no kyoukai (30 mins). There will also be a standalone dvd release for the final chapter that will go on sale on the same day for 4410 yen.
They made good their promise that they’ll properly animate the epilogue and not leave the story at chapter 7!
Also I guess there’s no hope of seeing Mana or Shizune now.
The official Gackt website has updated with this message:
Animelo Summer 2010 is on the 28th of August…
What am I doing…
This isn’t the time to be having the manly festival!! (referring to his live concert)
You guys, go to Animelo Summer! (held on the 28th and 29th of August)
And with that, the manly festival is canceled!
So yeah Gackt’s concert at Zepp Tokyo on the 28th of August is canceled. All the people who have already bought tickets will have their money refunded.
5pb president Shikura Chiyomaru has announced on twitter that Steins;Gate will be made into an anime.
Angel Beats had a full page ad on the Yomiuri newspaper today. It’s apparently only for the kantou region. Using the ad cost calculator by Yomiuri, this means the ad cost about 33 million yen (US$356,438) if they paid at full price without discounts.
There has to be something more than just a one season TV anime if they’re spending that kind of money on it. Either that or they really are thinking it’ll be huge hit.
Also without colors it just looks even more like Haruhi.
Bonus: 1
Toei has announced that there will be an all-night screening event for Precure on the 3rd of April in commemoration of the new Precure all-stars DX2 movie. The event will start at 17:30 and they’ll watch a bunch of Precure movies and end at 05:00 the next day.
However for this event, no children under the age of 18 are allowed to attend, not even if they have a guardian with them.
I guess they’re not even going to pretend that this is supposed to be a children’s show anymore!
Film strip showing Nagato’s collarbone sells for 356,000 yen (US$3,987) on Yahoo auctions
The cool thing recently is to give out film strips for repeated viewings of the same anime movie, and the other cool thing is to bid high money for it on Yahoo auctions.
Also it lost to Fate’s smile that was worth 532,000 yen.
