Anime News CLANNAD Daily Dose Dragonaut Macross Miscellaneous Series Introduction

If you've been wondering why I haven't written one of these posts in about three weeks, it's because I've been in the middle of a move and haven't had much time to do anything extra over the shows I'm blogging regularly. Things haven't quite settled down yet, so my schedule's still in a bit of a flux, but I didn't want to put this off any further since there's so many new series announcements, PVs, etc piling up. Unfortunately all this also means that I won't have time to continue keeping up with Tetsuwan Birdy like I wanted to, so I had to drop that.

New Upcoming Anime Promo Videos • Casshern Sins • CHAOS;HEAD (the first white link under What's New and then the first yellow link after that) • CLANNAD After Story • Kannagi (Mirror for those of you with IPs outside of Japan) • Kurogane no Linebarrels (Mirror for those of you with IPs outside of Japan) • Macademi Wasshoi • Michiko to Hatchin

New Anime Announcements • Guin Saga is coming Spring 2009 • Inazuma Eleven is coming October 2008 • ONE OUTS is coming October 2008 • Taishou Yakyuu Musume is getting an anime • Tetsuwan Birdy DECODE Second Season is coming Winter 2009

New Official Websites • Akikan! now has an official website • Asu no Yoichi! now has an official website • Bakemonogatari now has an official website • Chrome Shelled Regios now has an official website • Kyou no Go no Ni now has an official website • Maria†Holic now has an official website • Tonari no 801-chan now has an official website and will be produced by Kyoto Animation

Remember that show Dragonaut from earlier this year that was heavily panned? The show's official website has posted a preview for the DVD episode 26 that's due to be released in September. I feel like I should watch it if for no other reason than to make fun of it.

The anime adaptation for the shoujo manga Skip Beat! - coming this October - will feature Inoue Marina as Kyoko and Miyano Mamoru as Shou.

Anime News CLANNAD CODE GEASS Daily Dose Suzumiya Haruhi

The Daily Dose

By Omni June 7, 2008

Welcome to the first edition of the Daily Dose! One of the things I've always wanted Random Curiosity to be is a reliable source of news. I've tried to do this a little in the past with my Random Musings posts, but that hasn't really been consistent, and hopefully this will be. The goal is for this to be a daily news digest of what's going on in the anime world. I'll be pulling from a lot of sources, and with luck, there'll be stuff here that you won't necessarily find from other places (though admittedly that can be hard in this day and age). So without further ado...

The 2nd CODE GEASS R2 opening song has been officially announced to be FLOW's WORLD END. As most of you may remember, FLOW sang the first OP to the original CODE GEASS series, so it's nice to see this come full circle, especially since ALI PROJECT is also doing R2's new ED. The WORLD END single is due out August 13th, 2008.

The official CLANNAD site is now hosting a short preview video for the Tomoyo-centric episode 24 of CLANNAD. If you listen until the end, you can hear Mr. Ubiquitous Fukuyama Jun. In any case, the episode takes place in an alternate universe where Tomoya and Tomoyo are dating and will be released on July 16th with the eighth DVD. eggplant has a spoiler-filled report of the special screening from last week.

Canned Dogs has compiled together some images from the newest issue of Newtype that features Suzumiya Haruhi.

Amazon.co.jp is streaming the first five-minute episode of the animated version of Detroit Metal City. This comedy story involves a shy guy who becomes the lead singer of a death metal band, and there's a live-action movie version coming out in August.

Oh and I almost forgot to mention: if you find anything that you think I should mention on any particular day's Daily Dose, please send me an email with the words "ANIME NEWS" somewhere in the subject line.
