Kita ze Inbou! - キタぜ陰謀!

Production Company: Bee Train
Genres: Action, Girls-with-guns, Adventure, Drama, Mystery
Official Site: エル・カザド
Targeted Release Date: April 2007

As a big Bee Train fan this is one of the spring anime that I’m really looking forward to. For the uninformed, Bee Train’s resume would include titles such as Madlax, Noir, and the .hack anime franchise. Also, this is director Mashimo Koichi’s third and final installment in his Girls-with-guns genre.

Another huge plus for this series will be Kajiura Yuki, who will be handling the music. She has never disappointed with her music compositions in my opinion (she has also done music compositions for Noir and Madlax). Character design is being handled by Kikuchi Yoko (character designer for Noir and Kimi ga Nozomu Eien). And may I say that the character designs of the two female leads are very nicely done.

Like it’s predecessor, Ikkitousen: Dragon Destiny is already pulling out all the stops to tease it’s fans but this time with nudity to be shown in the series. Can it get any better? Well, I’m certain this show will be rated R-15 most of the time considering it’s content. Ikkitousen: Dragon Destiny airs February 15th on AT-X. I’m definitely looking forward to it.

Leon (and Youko) here. Well, the winter season is here (well it’s been here/started for a while now) and so that means it’s time for choosing what I’m going to watch. There’s no way that I’m writing up or watching/blogging all of them but I will write on the ones that I’ll be checking out (obviously). I can’t say exactly which shows I’m going to blog but it probably won’t be more than 4-5 since there’s still a few I’m watching from the past season. However, I will probably blog the first episodes of everything that interests me/that I’ll be watching. Note that we may watch other stuff not listed here, but why mention them? Spring is where it’s at!

The spring selection list will probably be twice as long. Maybe. Who knows. But there are a lot of new and interesting shows are appearing in that season. So I’m sure I’ll be checking/watching/blogging a good portion of them. God, it’s a good thing that I’m taking only two classes next semester otherwise…

Yup. Now the trailer is available and the release date for the DVD is just a few days away.

I just recently received this along with a few others like Danny and so I’m doing my part in helping promote it as well. It’s a great adaptation of a great manga and deserves to be checked out and bought.

Well I’m sure you’re all aware of this by now… or not. If not, then this is very very important news to you Naruto anime fans. Remember two years ago when some Studio Pierrot affiliate announced the anime would continue the manga story in Spring? Apparently we all assumed it was the following Spring of ‘06. No dice. So that must mean that the bastard was referring to ‘07. Hachimachi!!!

More evidence indicating the end of fillers were leaks of Part II merchandise floating around. (And now I have to get those keychains/plushies for good measure). Anyways, a few scans from the latest Weekly Shounen Jump should explain everything, including new PS2 game based on Part II!! The anime series is getting the “Z” treatment as well. The 2.5 year timejump is now known in the anime as NARUTO: 疾風伝 with the kanji read as “Shippuu-den” which means “Hurricane Chronicles.” Of course anyone not following the manga right now has no idea what the means… =D For all the pimps, you rather stick to calling it N:HC!!! Such wonderful Thanksgiving news ain’t it? I sure as hell am very thankful for this. ^^
