News Manga UK Adds Sci-Fi Anime TO From Vexille's Sori
posted on 2010-10-19 14:47 EDT
The British anime distributor Manga Entertainment revealed through its Twitter account on Saturday that it licensed the 2009 original video anime (OVA) TO from director Fumihiko Sori.
Sori adapted two stories from Yukinobu Hoshino's 2001 Nights (2001 Ya Monotogari) manga. "Symbiotic Planet" and "Elliptical Orbit" are part of Hoshino's centuries-long storyline about mankind's voyages into space.
In the past, Sori produced the first computer-animated Appleseed film and directed Ichi, Ping Pong, and Vexille - 2077 Isolation of Japan. Jun Fukuyama and Aya Hirano lead TO's voice cast as Ion and Ariina, respectively. Sori is now directing the anime film version of BioWare's Dragon Age role-playing games.

Dawn of the Arcana stumbled at bit in its second volume, but with this one we seem to be back on track.
As far as conclusions go, this arc has one of the strongest. While Eye Opening revealed some important information about the Sonozaki family in general and the twins in particular, Atonement makes us look at what information we already have in a different way.
While the story still has its logical flaws, it remains an engaging read that holds up well despite the passing of years and this volume continues to keep up both the promise and nostalgia of Takeuchi's masterwork.
Overall, neither Pokemon the Movie: Black or its White counterpart really stands out from the already packed herd. While not terrible, these are films that can be safely left alone unless you or your child have a compulsion to truly catch 'em all.
