No animation studio or release date were revealed so far, but it looks like plenty of fun is to be had with this one.

A couple of brief reports on ANN this morning are relaying word about two new boys-love anime adaptations being in the works. One of them is Hybrid Child, based on a manga by Shungiku Nakamura, in which the titular "Hybrid Child" is an amazing "doll" that can grow if it is lavished with enough love and care from its owner. Neither fully machine nor fully human, the various Hybrid Child models develop strong emotional bonds with their owners.



The other, probably-more exciting one for you girls out there, is Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi 2 (...)

First a doujinshi manga, then a couple of anime adaptations, not to mention that PS3 / X360 video game... and now, a live-action film of Afro Samurai is officially on the way, as well, with actor Samuel L.

A new Vocaloid character is coming our way (the first one for Vocaloid3, I believe), and it doesn't take more than a quick glance, to see that she's a damn cute one! She was created by the female illustrator CARNELIAN, with some sort of production input from Studio Deen, and was introduced last month on the "Vocaloid3 i-style Project" website. But now... the one thing she's missing the most... is a name. Any ideas?
