Shugo Chara! Magical Girl Anime's 2nd Year Green-Lit
posted on 2008-07-20 06:01 EDTAnnouncement to be reportedly made in Nakayoshi mag on August 2
The September issue of Kodansha's Nakayoshi magazine will reportedly announce on August 2 that the anime adaptation of Peach-Pit's Shugo Chara! manga has been green-lit for a second year. The two manga artists who make up Peach-Pit have been drawing their take on the magical girl genre since the end of 2005, and director Kenji Yasuda and the Satelight animators have been producing the anime version since last fall. The manga won the Best Children's Manga honor in this year's Kodansha Manga Awards. Del Rey publishes the manga version in North America.

Garbage - Idol Fighter Su-Chi-Pai
It should come as a surprise to nobody that a short OAV based on a strip mahjong video game would probably be one of the most mind-numbing pieces of animation Japan ever crapped out.

Thunderbolt Boys: Excite GN 1-
12 Days GNIf you are looking for a sensitive depiction of lesbians that strives for literariness, you have come to the right place. Creator June Kim delivers her quiet tale of friendship, love, and loss with nuanced, high-
Strawberry Panic!: Third Wheel Sub.DVD 3Those who plodded through the cutesy, frilly content of earlier volumes while hoping that something would happen will be partly rewarded here. Greatly increased fan service, decided relationship advancement, and a semblance of a developing plot all speak in this volume's favor.
Gakuen Alice GN 1Gakuen Alice mangaka Tachibana Higuchi, who wanted to make her third series cheerful, delivers a delightful shoujo series well worthy of its U.S. publisher's push for the frontlist.
Kujibiki Unbalance DVD 3If you too cringed at the sound of Kujibiki Unbalance flushing itself down a smelly toilet of irritating humor clichés, then perhaps you'll be pleased to hear the sound of it clawing its way back out with a renewed focus on its central love triangle.
Me and the Devil Blues GN 1
The higher one aspires, the further there is to fall, but it's safe to conclude that mangaka Akira Hiramoto did not sell his soul to the devil to create Me and the Devil Blues. Though the manga is without question wildly ambitious, it fails to fully deliver on Del Rey's hype.

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion DVD 1-2
Yes, it goes way over the top, but unlike many series, Code Geass has the skill and energy to carry viewers over the top with it.
Pokemon: Diamond & Pearl Dub.DVD 1-2
Colorful, lively, and sporting a brand-new heroine, the newest season of Pokémon will be eaten up by its pint-sized fanbase while quite naturally driving all others to distraction.
Gurren Lagann Sub.DVD 2
This double-disk sub-only release covers the rest of the second story arc and the beginning of the third. Although still a purely entertaining series at heart, it shows a greater capacity than its contemporaries to adapt to its story advancement and grow beyond its original parameters.

Death Note DVD 6
This quartet of episodes is substantially better than the four that preceded them, and it's nice to finally have the forgettable Yotsuba Group conspirators out of the way. Since the DVD ends on a convenient cliffhanger that will, arguably, culminate in one of the most shocking plot twists of the series thus far, faithful viewers will certainly not want to stop here.

Gyo GN 2With all that pesky introductory nonsense out of the way, Junji Ito gets down to what he does best: undiluted grossness.
