Shaman King: Flowers got axed....And there i was hoping for something....but still the current arc is kinda annoying so i'm not so surprised after all.

And R.I.P Iemasa Kayumi.

I painted my teary face with a disguised smile[COLOR=#ff3333] and pretended it was a cry out of joy.[/COLOR]

Pretty excited about the PP movie next year. Also, God Eater got a recent update again. I wonder if that means the series will be ready to debut next year during...possibly Spring? I doubt Winter though. The Rolling Girls anime looks kinda amusing and...

R.I.P Iemasa Kayumi.

Wasn't it ARMS who was doing Shinmai Maou? Seems they changed studios huh. I'm expecting QUALITY panty shots then with that studio. The cast is not too shabby.

I'll try out Rolling Girls just for Ozawa Ari. Glad she's getting another lead role and I hope this continues for her.

Wasn't there news of new casts for Nanatsu no Taizai? Think that should included.

And Girlfriend(Kari) keeps on adding casts. I got dizzy already from the first episode and they're still adding more. Not to mention I'm disappointed with how it seems to be going. Ah well.

There will be no cast announcements anytime soon. This past Saturday (Japan time) was the final day of cast announcement this time. It's because there's already many characters from the game that the cast announcements are mostly review for those who played the game.

So that's the last batch of girls for Girlfriend (Kari), well with so many girls you'd have to stop or the merchandise manufacturers will be overwhelmed. Hopefully Chloe and Matsuri get a character CD.

ooh, God Eater seems to hold the most promise among the above mentioned, mostly because of its name. the rest don't really capture my interest except Psycho though I would have to finish the first season first.

Even if I am not liking it as much as the originals... I do not want it to end without a properly closure, I hope Takei can find another magazine :(

Rage of Bahamut looks like it has potential & the Psycho-Pass movie make me very happy indeed. It's also interesting to see news of the God-Eater adaptation.
