Yesterday people were reporting on the Maple Story anime adaptation. I’m pretty sure it’s actually somewhat old news, but I could be wrong, so there you have it.

Also announced today: a mainstream adaptation of the eroge Ayakashi, which seems to rip off Allen’s arm from D.Gray-Man (’cause they were totally the first to have a character with a mutated arm!) and also make use of a mech-lookin’ monster that wears a scarf…which somehow makes me think of Dix-Neuf from Gunbuster 2. (Dix-Neuf didn’t wear a scarf, but Nono did, so I guess that’s why.)

Also, a buttload of live-action adaptations: BL manga Ai no Kotodama (a.k.a. Words of Devotion, courtesy of Juné) gets a live-action movie, while Fuma no Kojiro and Prince of Tennis get TV dramas…although PoT’s is in China.

ADV Films has seen fit to ruin all of my bookmarks by relaunching their website, which now looks somewhat fancier but is really obnoxious to use in Opera, because they have ads that take over the whole screen until you close them. Boo, ADV. BOO I SAY. And now I have to adjust my RSS feeds, too. Bah!

Oh yeah, and Illumitoon has given the license to air Bt’x and AM Driver to ADV’s Anime Network. Mm, quality “proframming,” eh, Advanced Media Network?

Meanwhile, I’m waiting on my BIG FAT package from Amazon.co.jp with Newtype, Animage, Animedia, Megami, and Comptiq. I ordered late this month T_T
