Akiba Blog just posted some new images of the upcoming Kotobukiya‘s Sennin Haruka, straight from the prototype stage. I can’t really read Japanese, so I can’t really say anything on the full article ^^; Have to wait for the English version to be posted~XD
Looking at the photos, looks like Haruka’s Gi can be casted off ^^; The details looks great so far, and it looks really close as the original Illustration. Looking forward to this ( ^ _ ^ )/
It’s official. The biggest anime summer concert is finally on this year again ^^ This year Animelo concert will be called “Animelo Summer Live 2008 Challenge”, and the official site for the event is now open. A list of the preliminary actresses/band that will perform on the event is out with some familiar faces that came back for 3 concecutive years, which include Mizuki Nana, JAM Project, and Kuribayashi Minami. You can view the complete list at the official site.
If you didn’t know, Animelo Summer Live is a concert event where Actresses and Bands who have performed atleast one Anime song gathers and sing their hearts out ^^ The event was started on 2005 and has been a yearly event since. This year Animelo Summer Live will be held at Saitama Super Arena, which is an upgrade from the usual Budokan, since it can double the capacity of audiences.
I’ve been following the concert event since “Animelo Summer Live 2006 -Outride-“, and I’m really excited with this year’s event ( ^ _ ^ )/
Thanks to Seiyuu3.net for the info.
Saw this 1/7 Scale Resin kit of “Takamori Haruka” from Beat Blade Haruka over at Volks Online Store ^^ The price is a little bit expensive ^^; It’s up for 10,000 Yen.
Although I don’t collect Resin kits (Since I’m no good in painting these stuffs~XD ), I have to say, this is probably the best looking Haruka I’ve seen so far d( > _ < )b
On other news, I spotted this while browsing Foo-bar-baz. Looks like Volks is planning to release the PVC version of the previous Wonfest 2008 exclusive 1/6 Scale Hatsune Miku, this coming September 2008 (Yay~!!) ^^ It’ll be up for 6,800 Yen and reservations will start on 29th April, 2008 ^^
Well just hope that it isn’t Volks Online Store exclusive, because I so want it!! ( > _ < )v I wonder if the price is correct, because 7,000 Yen for a 1/6 scale is cheap ^^;
Kotobukiya just updated their Blog with more images of the upcoming release figure of “Nekomiya Nono” in her school swimsuit and Neko Mimi~XD Nono is the heroine from the eroge Yotsunoha, and the anime adaptation with the same name. You can view the trailer of the anime below:

The American film production company DreamWorks has revealed that it has licensed the rights to adapt Masamune Shirow‘s Ghost in the Shell cyber-police manga into a 3D live-action film. The story of an elite paramilitary unit in future Japan has already been adapted into three animated films and two television anime series. DreamWorks has released the second animated Ghost in the Shell film, Innocence, in North America. DreamWorks also released Millennium Actress and produced Transformers, another live-action science-fiction film with Japanese roots.
Variety reports that Universal and Sony also negotiated for the rights, which the Production I.G anime studio was pitching for the manga’s original publisher Kodansha. What turned the dealmaking in DreamWorks’ favor was co-founder Steven Spielberg‘s enthusiasm for the project. The entertainment trade newspaper quotes the acclaimed director and producer:
“Ghost in the Shell is one of my favorite stories. It’s a genre that has arrived, and we enthusiastically welcome it to DreamWorks.”
Avi Arad (formerly of Marvel Studios as well as of the Spider-Man and X-Men movie franchises), Arad’s son Ari, and Seaside Entertainment‘s Steven Paul brought the project to DreamWorks and will produce. Jamie Moss (Street Kings, Last Man Home) has been assigned to script the project.
