10/24/07 2119 hours

Nipping on the heels of an announcement that a couple of classic Gundam flicks are being released on Sony’s Blu Ray, two other very popular anime movies have been announced for the next-gen format: Vision of Escaflowne and Cowboy Bebop: Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door.

The Gundam discs are out February 22nd; Escaflowne and Bebop are due January 25th.

Aaaand the daily tidbits

  • Vision of Escaflowne is going to see a high-definition remastered box set (although not next-gen), according to SaiAni.
  • Japanator notes that in spite of calling it the “One Piece Panel & Premiere,” FUNimation didn’t actually premiere the dub at the Otakon panel. (They say it was a “tease,” so either they only showed a short trailer or they didn’t show anything. I’m not sure. ♥). Maybe they cut it as part of that 10% everyone’s talkin’ about.
  • Some of you may remember that I posted to animeOnline about the new CLAMP in Cardland TCG, but since anime!anime! just posted about it again, I thought I’d mention it.
  • Also, I’ve just made an agreement to do some news for another site, on a temporary basis to begin with and then we’ll see where it goes. I’ll still be posting here too, for the time being, so don’t worry ;D Who is it? It’s a seeeecret! For now.

    ‘Night night! Tomorrow I’ll actually be around more of the day, so you can probably expect more posts. Especially a round-up of the stuff I’ve been watching lately @_@ (Maybe the Reckoning, part II?)
