The anime series will be a remake of the original anime series by Madhouse. And from what I’ve seen so far in the trailer, it looks really good.

Can’t wait for this anime to be broadcasted.

The seiyuu cast is not a big surprise since from the start I forsaw that Taiga would be voiced by Rie Kugimiya.

Here are the cast listings:

Taiga Aisaka - Rie Kugimiya

Minori Kushieda - Yui Horie

Ryuuji  Takasu - Shouji Majima

Yuusaku Kitamura - Hirofumi Nojima

Ami Kawashima - Eri Kitamura

Rie Kugimiya is doing so many tsundere roles nowadays. But I guess its a good fit since Louise and Taiga are such similar characters.

Here’s the combine results of men and women together:

1. Doraemon
2. Gundam
3. Time Bokan
4. Evangelion
5. Atom Boy
6. Mazinger
7. Mashin Eiyuden Wataru
8. Macross
9. Patlabor
10. Yuusha Raideen

So which is your favorite anime robot/mecha? I think it would be doraemon for me since I grew up watching the anime series.

The news articles was amazed at how much visitors paid a trip to the shrine due to the anime series popularity.

And here’s what the editor has to say about Lucky Star fans:

Young men, some clad in miniskirts, stockings and pastel-colored wigs, were lining up for photos at the shrine’s vermilion gate.

Since the anime debuted last year, visitors have reportedly spent 42 million yen (about US$390,000) in Lucky Star food and goods, including 20,000 charms.

Well maybe someday the shrine will be listed as a World Heritage site. LOL

This piece of new is announced in the latest issue of Megami magazine.

The movie will be based on the storyline in season 1 but will have new character design and transformation sequence.

So who are excited like me to see more Magical Shoujo action?

For those unfamiliar, Chaos;Head (カオスヘッド) is a Japanese visual novel developed by 5pb. and Nitroplus.

It was released a few months back on the April 25, 2008.

Apart from the violence, gore and sex that is found within the game, its popularity is also linked to this feature called “Delusion Science” whereby the player can access alternate scenes when triggered.

Here’s the basic outline of the storyline, a high school student named Takumi Nishijō unknowingly walks into the scene of a gruesome murder on his way home.

More mysterious events starts happening afterwards as more gruesome murders occurs in the area.

Takumi struggles to cope with reality and the delusions he experiences as he tries to avoid being getting caught by the perpetrator behind the chain of murders.

Somehow, I get abit uneasy knowing that this visual novel get adapted due to the unfortunate Nice Boat incident during the airing of School Days. Hopefully, nothing bad will happen when this anime gets aired on TV.

But then I must say that this game is really good, and I would recommend it to any folks that can stomach gory scenes.
