The Morning Catchup

  • ANN managed to go to the Shojo Beat panel, where it was announced that Arina Tanemura’s Kanshaku Dama no Yuuutsu will be published under the title Short-tempered Melancholy in the magazine.
  • According to Canned Dogs, the Korean drama I Am Sam stole character designs from the eroge (and anime) Shuffle!, plus they found some more manga toilet paper.
  • Japanator reported that Bandai Entertainment had changed their minds and was going to dub CLAMP School Detectives after all - apparently it was an Otakon announcement. They’re currently down, but they should be back up in a little while, I think.
  • Gunota notes that jrock band L’arc-en-Ciel will perform the opening theme for Gundam 00, called “Daybreak’s Bell.” I think they should rename the show “Gundammit, women, watch something other than Wing.”
  • The Mainichi has an article (in Japanese) about the birth of the manga Tonari no 801-chan.

    Today, the final panel: CMX. And that’ll be the end of SDCC coverage! Wait, really? @_@ What a long and short weekend it’s been…
