Not that there’s any such thing as “too much anime,” but I mean to say because I’ve been watching piles and piles of first episodes (along with, you know, working, and stuff). But without further ado: news, and stuff.

News:

  • Death Note is set to air on YTV in Canada, again.
  • The 1977 mech comedy Yatterman is being remade.
  • The manga Tsukiuji Uogashi Sandaime will be adapted into a live-action movie.
  • James Wong has been tapped to direct the Dragon Ball Z live-action movie.
  • The theme song of Ghibli’s Gake no Ue no Ponyo (Ponyo on a Cliff) is going to come out six months before the actual film. That makes soooo much sense…
  • Comic news site Newsarama has been bought by Imaginova, owner of Space.com

    Fun Stuff:

  • NOVA instructors chat about teaching mentally disabled students along with the regular ones on Japan Probe.
  • Also from Japan Probe: Japan’s first schoolgirl uniform.
