Hmmm, maybe I’m late on the news, but just a reminder for those who are currently in Singapore that next week on November 12th, 2009, Cathay Cineplex will start the screening of “Evangelion 2.0: You Can (Not) Advance” movie ^^
Didn’t expect them to screen it in the same year as the Japan one, was expecting next year ^^;
Watched the 1st one and been dying to watch this. 100% gonna go~ ( ^ _ ^ )

It has been decided that the Playstation 3 game Valkyria Chronicles by Sega will be getting the Anime treatment ^^ The anime is scheduled to air in Spring 2009 next year, and will be done by A-1 pictures, the animation company behind Birdy the Mighty Decode and Kannagi.

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.
Just a reminder that the second season of Code Geass will starts airing on April 6th, 2008 ^^ You can view the new CM below. Opening theme by Orange Range.
So, what happened when the cast of “Suzumiya Haruhi no Yutsuu” switched gender with each other (The male cast as female, and vice versa)? You’ll get yourself a new series called “Kyon no Yutsuu”!! ^^
Anyway, just saw this video on Haruhi dance this morning on Youtube, and it’s not your typical dance video ^^ You’ll just have to see it yourself ^^ Looks like it’s the same maker as the “Lucky Haruhi” video, and of course, it’s still incomplete ^^;
