Synopsis:

"In the future, the world is managed by a network called the Fractale System. A boy named Crane is living an aimless life with his parents, who are actually computer-generated "Doppels". One day, he runs into a pretty girl named Furyune, who is being pursued by someone. When he rescues her and helps to keep her hidden from her pursuers, he is pulled into her troubles as well. After meeting her, his life will never be the same."

Yutaka Yamamoto (Kannagi, Haruhi S1) wrote that if this anime fails, he will retire for good. Soon to be aired on Jan 2011. So far there is 3 chapters of manga out.

More details from here.

I will watch this since I do like Yamakan's work so far. The only thing he did that I haven't seen is BRS. I have feeling this anime will one of those either you love it so much or you hate it like a rotten POS.

Gaiking Live Action.

After unexpected success of Bakemonogatari, now anime studios looking to adapt another novel series penned by NisiOisin into anime which is this one. However this time, no Shaft and Shinbo. Interesting synopsis but some of my friends don't really liked the novel. Haven't read the novel so I can't give more comments on Katanagatari.

Kimi ni Todoke / 君に届け

Stormy001_M1A2 — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 09:46:08 +0800

Kimi ni Todoke. Good romance story, based on award winning manga series (2006 Best Manga). There will be live action version soon next year.

[YOUTUBE]aH8pvZKFVYQ[/YOUTUBE]

Noto Mamiko will be main voice actress for this one, animated by famous Production I.G.

Main Site

Plot Summary: Kimi ni Todoke is about a girl named Kuronuma Sawako. She is nicknamed Sadako (from The Ring) because many people see her as strange and often mistake her for a ghost. A boy called Kazehaya kun becomes her friend and, to her, is "100% refreshness."

I enjoyed Nodame and Honey & Clover, so this might be in my interest too.

Kiddy Girland

Stormy001_M1A2 — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 06:43:09 +0800

It will start on 15th October, replacing Haruhi slot and I guess most fans of old series will rejoice on this. The creators (Keiji Gotoh and Hidefumi Kimura) managed to get funding for it. Story is set 5 centuries after our era, 2 centuries after Kiddy Grade (2002) concluded. Satelight (studio behind Macross Frontier) will be animating this instead of GONZO.

Solid Snake is real

Embarrassed officials were at a loss to explain how Jean-Pierre Treiber, 45, a double murder suspect, managed to elude detection in the box he had built himself at a workshop in the high security prison of Auxerre, Burgundy.
With its hidden human cargo, the box was loaded with dozens of others onto a lorry for delivery to the Yonne region, southeast of Paris.

Who say Metal Gear is fake? See, you can escape prison in the box, Solid Snake style. Don't play play....

Astro is under threat

Stormy001_M1A2 — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 08:18:35 +0800

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 2 — In what could be a major policy U-turn, Datuk Seri Rais Yatim is reviewing Astro’s exclusive 20 year operating licence as his ministry battles with the pay-TV company to include more government-friendly and 1 Malaysia programming......

(snip)

Astro has had several run-ins with the ministry over its programming with government officials grumbling that opposition politicians get better airplay in several channels. The satellite TV operator says it gives equal airplay to politicians from both sides of the divide.

(snip)

His officials have taken special umbrage over talkshows in Astro’s own Awani channel and Al-Jazeera, privately blaming them for the wave of dissent against the Barisan Nasional government, particularly by ethnic Indians in a rare November 2007 protest.

Yeap....we may lose Astro if things go wrong.
