The Fanworks company has announced the Toyama Tourism Anime Project — an initiative to promote sightseeing in Toyama Prefecture with anime videos — via the launch of a website and three anime/live-action shorts on Friday. Creators who live in this western Japanese prefecture and local broadcasting stations have been collaborating on the project.
In particular, the P.A. Works studio (Brave Story , Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~, True Tears) animated part of the five-minute short "Nakaseru Sora ni Aitai: Tateyama no Koibito-hen," while The Berich team produced the eight-minute, Flash-animated short "Nakaseru Sora ni Aitai: Love Mountain Tateyama-hen." Another video highlights the "Toki no Shizuku" anime theme song by local resident sophie+. The campaign is promoting Toyama's natural sights and handicrafts not only to visitors from the rest of Japan, but also to international tourists.

There is but one volume remaining to Ouran High School Host Club, and it has been a fun ride. While this book doesn't quite live up the earlier ones in terms of pure, lighthearted enjoyment, it is still solidly entertaining.
Cage of Eden has all of the elements of a classic survival epic – monsters, diseases, an unfriendly wilderness with no perceived escape, and our own ability as humans to lie.
