- Shangri-La, a sci-fi epic novel that was serialized in the Newtype magazine (and inspired by a more classic novel), will be getting a TV anime adaptation. We'll have studio Gonzo to thank for that. Hopefully thank...

- The second (half-)season of the Penguin Girl anime began "airing" online on the Nico Nico Douga website this month. If you don't have an account there, just follow this not-so-complicated registration process. Penguin Musume Heart will presumably end with episode 22 on November 15.

- Finally, going even further back in time, at the beginning of this month it was announced that a New Hell Girl manga, literally titled just like that - Shin Jigoku Shoujo - will start in the next issue of Kodansha's Nakayoshi magazine, on October 3. Just in time for the third anime season, Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae, which is premiering in Japan on October 4. Have you seen the trailer, by the way?
