Oct 8, 2014 5:59 PM by Jao

drrrrr will be back
but next year
it's in my willpower to be happy with that

Oct 7, 2014 1:35 PM by KoSparrows

Durarara news made my whole week already. I didn't think it'd be so many episodes coming out, 2015 is gonna be a good year! Though making it split cour makes it look like studio Shuka will only be depending on Drrr sales eh?
Also: They should try harder on Izaya's face and make it a taaad longer like before, or else the fangirls will get mad :P

Oct 7, 2014 11:18 AM by Yeri-chan

I will be looking forward to the one piece spin off

Oct 7, 2014 12:51 AM by MadaraUchiha69

They are going to split Durarara into three seasons, huh. I guess, that's a good news.
Spin-off Manga of One Piece and Code Geass?? I hope that it will get an Anime adaption, too.
I'll keep an eye on Sui Ishida's upcoming new Manga. Might be related to Tokyo Ghoul.
Congratulations to Yuuko Sanpei~
