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.

Zannen, Canada’s name has never been so apt: the site reports that both Death Note showings have been removed from YTV’s schedule and replaced with InuYasha and Eureka Seven. They have no information yet on why; my instinct says a delay rather than a cancellation (hello? It’s Death Note!). But time will tell.
