Some are old, most are new, some are copy-pasted borrowed, none are blue. But they're all worth an editorial catch-up, and a select few of them should even be worth getting excited about. Unless you've had enough of Horo - in which case you might want to go see a doctor.

- 428: Fuusa Sareta Shibuya de - the upcoming Nintendo Wii visual novel game from Sega is getting an anime adaptation done by studio P.A. Works (Ghost in the Shell: SAC - Solid State Society, Darker than Black). Meanwhile, Type-Moon is already producing a bonus anime scenario for the game, whose story involves a detective, a young man, a virus researcher, a freelance writer, and a cat mascot character.

- Asura Cryin' - based on the semi-serious supernatural school action light novels of the same title. Begins in 2009.

- Black God (Kurokami The Animation) - confirmed to be in the making at studio Sunrise, as first revealed during the summer. Looking good, though it sounds a bit Shana'istic - not that it would be a bad thing, no sir (website).

- Devil Kings (Sengoku Basara) - an anime adaptation of Capcom's action-adventure game franchise, in the works at Production I.G. Begins in 2009.

- Evangelion 2.0 - now officially titled Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance, with a tentative release date set for early summer 2009. All thanks to the recently relaunched website, which also promises that the second movie will feature the fan-favorite character Asuka, the EVA-02 unit, "new Evangelions", "added items previously unknown to anyone", "a shocking new story, and new visuals" (via ANN).

- Floating Moon - "an original environmentally aware sci-fi" anime feature produced by Marvin Media, a newly-formed independent licensing, development and production firm. Begins in 2010.

- Oblivion Island: Haruka and the Magic Mirror (Hottarake no Shima: Haruka to Mahou no Kagami) - tentative title for a new Production I.G computer-animated film. From their press release, it sounds like a family-oriented thingie, driven by the tagline "Where do all your childhood's treasures go when you grow up?". Begins in summer 2009.

- Spice and Wolf 2nd Season - hell yeah! The foxy (or rather wolfy?) Horo will return in a new TV anime, as confirmed on the series' website. The potentially-bad news is that the sequel is being animated by studio Brain's Base, not by Imagin (who did a great job on the first season).

- Street Fighter IV - a 50-60'ish minutes long anime feature produced by Studio 4°C, based on Capcom's upcoming ass-kicking game; not to be confused with the in-game anime cinematics created by the same studio. You can get a taste of it by watching the Street Fighter IV trailer shown a few days ago at Tokyo Game Show 2008.
