Old news, indeed. But for whatever it's still worth, a new TV anime series titled Mangirl! was announced earlier this month, as an adaptation of Kagari Tamaoka's four-panel manga originally titled Soukan! Comic Earth Star Henshuu-bu (Launch! Comic Earth Star Editors). The anime is being created by studio Dogakobo, whose upcoming projects also include the Yuru Yuri 2 sequel and Natsuyuki Rendezvous, both airing from July.

Mangirl!

The Mangirl! anime, however, is only expected for 2013. The original manga's story follows the daily life of naive Editor-in-Chief Hana and "Japan's cutest manga editors" (...)

The K-ON! manga is ending again. The main series, that is, the one following Mio's group through college - as opposed to the separate K-ON! manga with Azusa, Ui and Jun who are still in high school. Apparently, kakifly will continue writing this separate manga with Azusa's fellow lolis. As for the main series, its "grande finale" will be published in the next issue of the Manga Time Kirara magazine, out in Japan on June 9.

The official website for this summer's TV anime series Chouyaku Hyakunin Isshu: Uta Koi. has been updated with several bits of news. They're mostly irrelevant stuff, but among them is also the announcement of the anime's broadcast starting date in Japan - set for July 2. Additionally, a new key visual is now being displayed there, as well as below (essentially leaving you with no reason to bother visiting the official page, how convenient!).

Chouyaku Hyakunin Isshu: Uta Koi.

This TV anime adaptation, simply known as Uta Koi., was announced back in March. Studio TYO Animations is creating it, based on a historical josei (for women) manga (...)

The recent interview with James Cameron that everyone's been linking this week isn't as bad as it sounds, for fans of Battle Angel Alita (Gunnm) who were hoping to see its live-action film adaptation at some point in life. The interview made it sound like Cameron would only make Avatar sequels (and deep-sea diving documentaries) for the rest of his career. But that's not entirely accurate, as it turns out.

Battle Angel Alita / Gunnm

Ain't It Cool News got in touch with Cameron for a comment on the state of the Battle Angel Alita movie project, and although it is indeed a far-fetched dream of his, (...)

The upcoming TV anime series Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse, previously known to be starting this summer, now has a firm TV premiere date: July 1. The announcement was made at a stage event where various production artworks were also shown (see them all further down below), and the event also included some singing. You can watch the whole thing on YouTube, if you have nothing better to do with 45 minutes of your life.

For the first time in four decades, there is no nuclear power coursing through Japan's electrical veins! All 50 nuclear reactors that had remained operational there, in the wake of last year's March 11 quake and tsunami super-special-combo disaster, are currently shut down. The last of them to go offline today, "for mandatory routine maintenance", was the Tomari nuclear plant's third reactor (the other two had been halted earlier).

No Nuclear Power In Japan Today, Children's Day

This joyous moment for the nation's largely nuke-o-phobic population coincided with their celebration of Children's Day, also on May 5. As such, the traditional (...)

Reports from the Japanese blogosquid are showing a certain magazine scan announcing that this July will bring a proper TV anime series of Upotte!! - the ongoing web-anime that's been streaming on NicoNico (and on Crunchyroll as well) since last month. Hopefully this upcoming Upotte!! TV anime will be a brand new series, not just a rerun.

Aside from this, there's also an Upotte!! OVA coming in October 2012, as a Blu-ray bundle with the 4th volume of Kitsune Tennouji's manga that spawned these adaptations. (...)

The "hypothetical science adventure" anime film Steins;Gate Movie now has a theoretical release timeframe planned for Fall 2012 in Japan, according to a report from the Monthly Shonen Ace magazine (via MAL). The movie follows last year's TV anime series that was created by studio White Fox, based on the visual novel Steins;Gate, originally developed by 5pb. and Nitroplus and released in 2009.

Steins;Gate

Speaking of release dates, the game's PlayStation 3 version is releasing in Japan later this month, on May 24. This edition includes the (...)

Oopsie, looks like I missed the last three episodes of +Tic Elder Sister when they first came out, in September and this past February. But that's only part of the reason why I have just added the remaining full, free streams locally. The main reason is actually yesterday's news that this hectic comedy web series is being continued with seven more short episodes. Thus confirming that earlier report from a few months ago...

+Tic Elder Sister episode

So with the previous five episodes released since May 2011, the series will reach a total of 12 anime shorts. These will be bundled on Blu-ray and DVD (...)

Now that's a nice rumor! According to some dubious 2ch source, a new Darker than Black TV anime series will start airing in Japan from October! The report claims that the third anime (not counting the 2010 OVA) will be titled Darker than Black: Nanpou no Houkou - among other alternative spellings for the subtitle, which roughly translates to "Wandering through the South".

Darker than Black - Yin

Some staff names are also being indicated, but since the claims are purely anonymous for now, we're better off waiting for a more official notice on this matter. (...)
