So many shows to watch, so little time left. I must somehow make myself a schedule, combining the precious time I dedicate to certain hedonistic activities (mindblowing booze hardcore testing, walking like a total retard and acomplishing absolutely nothing in the lands of Gayzeroth, or, why not, actually working at my desk for a total of eight hours a day), with the godly spare moments i can dedicate to watching anime. The times when I was able to do anime multisessions for two or three days straight, without even getting some sleep, are long gone… And much to my displeasure, it seems that producers are not stopping on my account. They just keep announcing them, releasing them, and making my life a bitch. Ah well, no need to whine about it - at least they keep on cumming coming. So, here it goes:

“Tales of Symphonia” will be a 4 episode OVA, inspired from Namco’s Gamecube RPG, and, guess what, it will go on sale in Japan on June 8th. For those of you interested, there are two trailers floating about, one in “narrowband” and the other in “broadband” resolution. The trailer depicts a flower, some combat, and no little girls. Shame.

News from Toei Animation too, those hard working, loli lovers have big plans to produce a “fifth” series for Ge Ge Ge no Kitaro, after they published the previous four in 1968, 1971, 1985 and 1996. If this gets to follow in One Piece’s footsteps, with OVER NINE THOUSAND sequels, it’s going to get messy.

Shochiku has in mind to blow the public away at the Berlin Film Festival, proposing three new Japanese anime titles that will screen in Germany at that time. “Summer Days with Coo”, directed by Keiichi Hara (the dude behind Crayon Shin-Chan), “Vexille”, some sci-fi thinghie from Fumihiko Sori, also known for his production of Appleseed, and “The Country Doctor”, the latest piece of crap animation from Koji Yamamura, who once got (accidentally) nominated for Oscar.
