North American anime publisher Sentai Filmworks announced on Tuesday March 25th that they had licensed the anime adaptation of the Haikyuu!! volleyball manga by Haruichi Furudate. The sports anime is set to premiere this April 6th and a home video release is to follow.
The original plot follows junior high student, Shōyō Hinata, as he gains a new found love of volleyball after watching a national championship match on TV. Although short in height, he becomes determined to follow in the footsteps of the championship's star player, nicknamed the "Small Giant", after seeing his plays. He creates a volleyball club and begins practicing by himself. Eventually five other members join the team by his last year of middle school, but they are defeated in their first tournament after being challenged by the championship favorite team, which includes the so-called "King of the Court" Tobio Kageyama, in the first round. Though Hinata's team suffers a miserable defeat, he vows to eventually surpass Kageyama and defeat him.
So, when Shōyō gets to high school he joins Kurasuno High School's volleyball team, vowing revenge against Kageyama. However, Kageyama is also on Kurasuno's team. The former rivals form a legendary combo with Hinata's mobility and Kageyama's precision ball-handling. Together, they take on the local tournaments and vow to meet Kurasuno's fated rival school in the nationals.
The series will be directed by Susumu Mitsunaka who will be directing from scripts written by Taku Kishimoto. Takahiro Kishida will work on character design while Production I.G (Kuroko no Basuke) will handle the series animation.
Now, since Production I.G is said to be the animator of this series many will hope that it meet the same quality standard that Kuroko no Basuke set. Also, many fans might want to compare the two sports series seeing as how they are two sports themed anime being animated by the same production company. Lets hope that this new series will bring with it the success that came to Kuroko no Basuke which currently has two seasons.
Animation studio A-1 Pictures (Accel World, Black Butler, Fairy Tail, SAO, and FMA) is producing a special anime, Toki wa Meguru ~ TOKYO STATION (Time Flows ~ Tokyo Station), to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Tokyo Station City train station.

Now you might be asking yourself what does HMD mean? Or what does this have to do with anime? Well read on and the answers to your question will be answered!
At Anime Japan 2013 Sony's new HMD (head-mounted device) takes those who wear it into the world of anime. It tracks your head movements so it feels as if you're actually inside a cartoon. Turning your head to the left or right Also Makes what your watching move in That direction as well. At Sony's Booth They Demonstrated the Technology using the anime The IDOLM @ STER, and They Demonstrated with two Different Scenarios. One Scenario Placed the user at a concert, with the Wearer in the perspective of an audience member. The other is set in the offices of the talent agency from the anime and lets you watch the cast behind the scenes.
Graphinica, a special effects studio active in several anime (The Pilot's Love Song, Girls und Panzer) blurs realities boarders and animation even further with its Live2D motion capture technology.With the use of the Xbox 360 Kinect device and a microphone they can translate not only the voice, but movements of an on screen 2D character, and while the technology is common this uses a 2-D animation while others most comonly will use 3-D to get closer to reality as they can.
With all of this technology that is being advanced and released it brings around the question of what will come next for the world of anime and even gaming? Will anime fans get a real SAO experience? And the most important question being, Will all of these advances in technology bring society further from reality than what is needed? n the comments page of the blog.

Any Sword Art Online fans out there? Well this is probably the anime for you, and as always I am here to tell you all about this epic MMORPG anime tale! For this review I will go over a summary of the series, my personal opinion, news, comparison to SAO, and a link to where to watch the series. Now, let us jump on in to the review!
I have heard that this was a good anime, but I never actually watched it whats it about?
If you havent seen it yet you must it is a series that will sneak up behind you grab hold and never let go! Anyway, Log Horizon is a Japanese novel series written by Mamare Touno. The series follows the strategist, Shiroe, and the other players of the long-lived MMORPG Elder Tale after they find themselves whisked away into the game world following a game update. The novel has received four manga adaptations, with one based on the main story and the other three revolving around characters in the series. An anime adaptation aired on NHK Educational TV between October 5, 2013 and March 22, 2014.
Well there have been many comparisons made for this series that include the obvious one that both involve people trapped inside of a virtual game after the game received an update. One other comparison fans of SAO make is that the main character for LH is not as awesome as Kirito the main protagonist of SAO, and on that I would tell those people that this series main character is in my perspective better than Kirito because he actually takes the initiative to communicate with many of the games strongest players and make rules for everyone while they are still trapped in the world of elder tale while all kirito was focused on was trying to get his self out. Now, what is drastically different when comparing the series is that in SAO if you died in the game the same went for your body in reality, and in LH it stays true to a real game in that you just revive at a designated point. I could go on with comparisons, but some get me flustered with what fans comment on and that would lead to a whole post of me rambling, but If you have anything to say/ask just post in the comments Ill answer them all :)
Izuru-san what news is there about this anime?
Well there is the good and the bad news and I will start with the bad. The season ended March 22nd with its 25th episode after 6 months of airing. Now, the good news is that it was only the end of the first season and it was announced that a second season would be ready for fans to watch come October of this year! So what that means is you should go watch it if you havent already and then wait patiently for October to roll around so you can follow the series adventurers once again!
What is it you liked Izuru-san?
By the first episode I already knew I liked the overall character design and animation. The series is very well animated and some of the attacks have an awesome visual appeal to me. The story line for LH in my opinion is much better than what was executed with SAO in that the latter had those annoying time skips always making me feel I missed something in the last episode or that I wasn't paying enough attention. Another thing I liked about the story was that it stayed true to what its would be like to play a modern day MMORPG in today's reality, and how every episode has a short explanation of real game terms such as guilds, classes, and sub classes. Overall, it was a series that moved a comfortable pace to me and did a nice job of integrating real life MMORPG elements to the anime and story line.
So, Atsushi Ōkubo's spin of to Soul Eater is set for an April 8th release on TV Tokyo with animation studio BONES animating the series. TV Tokyo has posted a promo for the Bones anime adaptation of Soul Eater Not! which has three new main characters as well as some cameos from the original series! The three lead voice actresses are also the singers for the new shows ending theme titled, "Yugure Happy Go," while the teenage vocal and dance unit Dancing Dolls perform the opening song titled,"monochrome".
Hey you sci-fi anime lovers and mech lovers as well I have brought to you an update from my last Knights of Sidonia post which you can read here!
What is this update Izuru-san? Well the fourth commercial for the anime adaptation of Tsutomu Nihei's sci-fi manga has offered another look at what we will get from this series.
This short promotional video for the series has ,in its short time, given me much insight as for whats to come. The first thing I notice from this sneak peek is the combination of both the 2D norm for character animation and 3D cgi of the series mecha. This is nice because not everyone is a cgi fan when it comes down to anime, myself included, there are few series that have actually pulled it off (Tiger&Bunny, and Gatchaman Crowds), but we will just have to see how well it works for this project.
A little Background to the production side of the series is that the spring 2014 anime is produced by Polygon Pictures (Transformers: Prime, Tron: Rising, Star Wars: The Clone Wars) as its 30th anniversary title. Kobun Shizuno, the director of 2005-2007 American TV series G.I. Joe: Sigma 6 for Gonzo as well as three Detective Conan films (Quarter of Silence, The Eleventh Striker, Private Eye in the Distant Sea), will also be directing this upcoming series.
The second season to the 2013 anime of the year, Sword Art Online, which followed the journey of Kirito and others who were all trapped inside of a Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (VRMMORPG) that they are connected to using the device Nerve Gear a virtual reality helmet that stimulates the user's five senses via their brain, and also where if the player dies in game it results in the players death in reality. Now, the second season has been announced for July of this year. This season will introduce the new female character, Sinon, a female sniper in Gun Gale Online

Miyuki Sawashiro is the voice actress who will be the voice of Sinon. She is fluent in English and played Petit Charat in both the Japanese and English versions of the anime DiGi Charat.

So, sorry that the previous post was a bit late but the announcement has already been made and I figured why not just put up both posts so this one is of the actual announcement that was made. The live announcement was recorded for those that missed it, but it is in Japanese with no subtitles unfortunately for those of you who don't understand the language. You can watch the announcement video if you visit: www.gundam35th.net
The anniversary project has launched some big plans for upcoming year. It was previously announced that, Gundam Unicorn will wraping up this spring with the 90 minute seventh and final episode screening in Japanese theaters for a limited time May 17th before the June 6th home video release. With the end of Unicorn comes the beginnning of many long awaited projects for us Gundam fans.
One such project is from Gundam series creator Yoshiyuki Tomino's space elevator project G-Reko debuts this falls as Gundam Reconguista in G.
Gundam Reconguista in G is set in the next century of the Universal calendar, the anime will feature Kenichi Yoshida on character design. Yoshida is also joined by a team that includes Akira Yasuda, Ippei Gyoubu, and Kimitoshi Yamane who will work on mecha with Yuugo Kanno.
Also, the four part anime adaptation of Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin manga is scheduled to begin the spring of next year with a "Blue Eyed Casval".
In other news, Yasutaka Nakata, an artist who has performed with Perfume and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu (Pon Pon Pon), is linked to a theme song for the anniversary.
The new Gundam for the new main character of Gundam Reconguista in G (Above) is similar in design to the Strike Freedom (Gundam Seed Destiny) with its gold accents, and also had similarities to many other C.E. mobile suits.
The Original Gundam (Right) is shown looking very nice and remastered compared to the original animation from early 90's, so I am hoping that they can keep the same designs just touch them up so they have a nice balance of modern animation and the original animation.
Thanks to Anime Channel on Youtube for the clips used in this post subscribe HERE for other cool trailers!
Images pulled from the anniversary website linked above!
Today in one hour on the anniversary website an new announcement will be broadcast live at 5:00pm JST (1:00am PST). There have been many speculations of what is to come for this announcement that include; the upcoming Gundam: The Origin anime, Creator Yoshiyuki Tomino's new anime (G-Reko or collaboration project with Legacy Effects), but we will just have to see when the announcement is made. The announcement is from sunrise who of course be the studio animating the upcoming gundam anime.
For those of you who were not aware Bandai did confirm back in July of 2013 that Tomino's newest anime work will be released as a part of the 35th anniversary of the Gundam franchise in 2014 to 2015 as well as the Gundam: The Origin anime adaptation.
I have never seen Gundam Izuru-san, what is it about? Great question! I love to tell people about this franchise any chance I get because it is the series that got me into anime when I was younger. Anyway, The Gundam Series is a metaseries of space opera anime created by Sunrise studios that features giant robots (or "mecha") called "Mobile Suits" (MS); usually the protagonist's MS will carry the name Gundam. The metaseries started on April 7, 1979, as a serial TV show called Mobile Suit Gundam. That first TV series has since spawned a franchise that has come to include works released in numerous media. Titles have appeared in the form of multiple television series and OVAs, movies, manga, novels and video games, among other modes. Out of the many series that have spawned from the original is one that is not appreciated enough among the gundam fanbase; Gundam Seed (NOT DESTINY!!!).
Well everyone Ill give you an update once the announcement has been made, so look out for that post every so often!
Magi: The Labyrinth/Kingdom of Magic, The story is set in an alternate recreation of the ancient Old World with several regions and nations having some resemblances with real-life counterparts from that time. In this world, all living beings possess an essence known as Rukh and when they die, this essence returns to the huge flow of Rukh that gives life to all subsequent beings in an eternal cycle of rebirth called "Fate". Once a person is overcome with sadness, anger and hopelessness, their Rukh turns into a corrupted, unstable, black-colored Rukh that deviates from the main guidance in a process known as "Fall into Depravity".
Labyrinth of Magic: After being secluded for his entire life, a boy called Aladdin travels the world until he meets Alibaba Saluja, a young man aiming to one day explore the nearby dungeon Amon and claim its treasures. Aladdin and Alibaba eventually become friends, and conquer Amon together, despite facing the opposition of the ruthless Jamil and his slave warriors, with only Alibaba, Aladdin and Morgiana, the only survivor of Jamil's party, escaping with their lives. After having their own adventures in separate locations, Aladdin and Morgiana end up reuniting with Alibaba in Balbadd where they learn that he has joined the Fog Troupe, a cadre of thieves opposing the tyrannical rule of King Abhmad, Alibaba's half-brother. Helped by Aladdin, Morgiana and Sinbad, a famous king of the island country of Sindria, Alibaba manages to have the monarchy dissolved and establishes a republic in Balbadd. Following the events in Balbadd, Aladdin, Alibaba and Morgiana are brought to Sindria, where they train under members of Sinbad's household to increase their abilities and help him with his mission to stop the mysterious organization Al Thamen that works in the shadows to spread chaos throughout the world as part of an unknown agenda. The trio ends up befriending Hakuryuu Ren, a prince of the Kou Empire visiting Sindria and whom they help to conquer the dungeon Zagan. After confronting some members of Al Thamen, Aladdin and his friends go separate ways for personal reasons, promising to rejoin together in the future. Aladdin enrolls in the Magnostadt Academy to study magic, Alibaba leaves to improve his swordsmanship and learn magoi manipulation in order to complete his djinn equip with the Yambala Gladiators in the Reim Empire, Hakuryuu returns to the Kou Empire, and Morgiana departs to the Dark Continent to fulfill her dream of visiting her homeland.
Kingdom of Magic: Aladdin, Alibaba, and Morgiana's adventures continue in the magical Kingdom of Magnostadt, a country ruled by magicians, and the Reim Empire, which is protected by the Magi Scheherazade.
SPOILER ALERT OVER!
Now, after that ridiculously long summary of both season one and two of the main series lets get to what this post is really about. The main series has a spinoff manga titled, Magi: Adventures of Sinbad which follows one of the main series side characters Sinbad of Sindria as a young man journeying to conquer his first dungeon and gain his first Djinn, is now to be produced into an anime adaptation produced by studio Lay-duce and scheduled to be released with the manga's third volume on May 16, 2014. It is also confirmed that Daisuke Ono will return to voice main character Sinbad, among other reprisals.
I'm excited to see this OVA of the main series and hope that it has much success so that it may convince the author Shinobu Ohtaka to keep writing more for the manga and keep it alive for the fans, but only if she can do so without succumbing to fan service and predictable story lines. Below you can watch a very short PV of whats to come in Japanese only though, but it does show some art from the manga and how it will look for the OVA enjoy!
Please enjoy the currently ongoing main story Magi: The Labyrinth/Kingdom of Magic HERE at crunchyroll your source for legal streaming anime, and manga (premium) for all of us otaku! Also, let me know if you would like to get a review of this anime/manga in the comments.
Hello again my fellow anime enthusiasts (Aka Otaku), I'm here with another post about yet another magic related anime! I know I know by now you might be getting a little tired of these posts, but I promise it's only temporary and will definitely diversify soon. Anyway on to what this post is about; recently released was the sixth commercial for the quickly approaching anime Mahōka Kōkō no Rettōsei (The irregular at magic high school), and to go along with it a new key visual was also unveiled!
Izuru-san what even is The irregular at magic high school?Oh I was wondering when you would ask! Well a Japanese light novel series written by Tsutomu Satō and illustrated by Kana Ishida was adapted into several manga, each adapting a different arc of the light novel. Now, an anime television series adaptation by Madhouse is scheduled to air from April 5, 2014. As far as the story goes, the series is set in a world where magic exists and has been utilized as a technology for nearly a century. Rather than casting spells with chants or other traditional forms of spellcasting, mages use a Casting Assistant Device, better known as a CAD. Mages infuse the CAD with psions or thought particles (a substance-less particle and psychic phenomenon) while the CAD itself provides an activation sequence, which is then used to construct a magic ritual in order to invoke the magic. This magic ritual targets the Idea, the platform on which Eidos are recorded. Eidos refers to a form of information that is attached to a phenomenon. Modern magic uses false signals to manipulate the Eidos of a target, which in turn modifies the phenomenon and causes physical changes in the real world.
Well Izuru-san you gave us the setting and all, but what is the actual anime going to be about?!Oops guess I should give you more information, so as not to leave you confused and on your own to find it somewhere else! In the year 2095(81 years from now!), Tatsuya Shiba and his sister Miyuki Shiba are new students enrolling at the Private Magic University Affiliated High School (First High School). Students are ranked according to their test scores: students with the best grades are designated "Bloom" and enrolled in the Course 1 curriculum, while those with poor scores are designated "Weed" and enrolled in Course 2. Miyuki topped the entrance exams and is selected to be the first years' representative, while Tatsuya is placed in Course 2 due to his low practical test score, despite scoring the highest in the written portion of the exams. Now this answers your question doesn't it...probably should have answered the previous question with this information huh!
This sounds interesting Izuru-san, but where can I see those commercials you originally mentioned? Oh yes! Thank you for reminding me that is the whole reson for this post anyway. Well before you start watching the commercial please do know that I don't claim any parts of the video as my own and that all rights belong to the respective owners.
Want to thank Maxim Firsov for the videos used in this post!
Those commercials were short but they looked nice! What about the Visual you told us about earlier in the post Izuru-san?Good that you asked about it I actually have it all planned out in a fun way! So, what I have decided to do is that starting tomorrow I will start a countdown in the form of a post; each post will include the number of days left until the anime premiers and an official character picture with a short description of the character. This will happen every day until April 5th which is the premiere date of the anime (We know Izuru-san you have said it at least 3 times already what day it will be out -_-). Also, any time during the countdown I may include any other images related to the anime or manga for you to enjoy and get hyped about the series.
Anything else you can tell us Izuru-san?Hmmm...let me think for a second, and then I will let you know if there is anything else! Oh I got it this might not be something that many of you would care about, but there is the people behind the scenes of the anime. Manabu Ono (Full metal Panic!, Tenchi Muyo, and Hellsing) will be directing the anime with assistant director Yuuji Kumazawa at the Studio MADHOUSE (Black Lagoon, Cardcaptor sakura, and Gunslinger Girl). The original light novel illustrator Kana Ishida is also handling the anime character designs along with sub-character designer Maho Yoshikawa. There are three chief animation directors; Ishida, Maho Yoshikawa, and Shinichi Miyamae are their names and they will be working together on most of the animations while the action animation directors are Takashi Tomioka and Satoshi Iwataki who will be working on the battle sequences of the series. Oh yeah and I also heard that the first opening song of the series is by LiSA while the ending will be sung by ELISA both popular artist you might have even heard a part of the song in the clips above.
Hey guys I'm back with another update for the rapidly approaching return of the Fairy Tail anime. So, on Sunday March 16, 2014 Avex ( holding company for a group of entertainment-related subsidiaries based in Japan) started streaming a promotional video for the upcoming series set to be aired April 5th. The promo video contains the first opening for the anime by the ''Queen of Korean Pop" Kwon Boa (Aka BoA) titled "Masayume Chasing".
Here is the promotional video:

Also, in the previous update I told you of the new character designer replacing Aoi Yamamoto, and now another staff change has been announced. Animation studio Bridge (Nobunagun, Devil Survivor 2: the animation) will be replacing Satelight (Bleach, Ah my Goddess, Code Geass, and many more) as one of the studios animating the series.
The official site for the TV anime adaptation of Hajime Segawa's psychic action manga Tokyo ESP launched today, and it announced that the anime will premiere on Tokyo MX and other stations in this summer, while the main staff and voice cast are still unknown.
Tokyo ESP begins with Rinka Urushiba as a fairly normal high school girl, though she is a bit poor and her only family is her father. This forces her to work as a waitress after high school to raise money for them to secure rent and food. One day, she sees a penguin and some glowing fish swimming through the sky. Rinka might have thought it was a hallucination if there had not been another witness with her, a boy from her school with a strangely scratched-up face. Contact with a fish causes her to pass out, and when she awakens, she has developed the power to move through inanimate objects such as the floor of her apartment. She meets a fellow high school student named Kyotaro Azuma, who has the ability to teleport. The two of them use their ESP powers to take on individuals who have decided to use them for evil. However, there is an organization that plans for a bigger scheme to secure utopia with their ranks consisting of strong ESP fighters and users.
The manga began serialization in the April 2010 issue of Kadokawa Shoten's Shōnen Ace magazine.
The anime adaptation project was announced in the July 2013 issue of the magazine. And a crossover manga series between Ga-Rei (2005-2010 manga by Hajime Segawa) and Tokyo ESP is also planned.

I have heard that this was a good anime, but I never actually watched it whats it about?
