Anime And Manga

Episode was good enough for some laughs and tender moments. Kirino found out that Kyosuke is dating Kuroneko so that question remains…Who was that person that Kirino mentioned before? We know. Lets go straight to the juicy facts. Kuroneko´s cosplay for the date was hilarious, with wings and everything! Of course, that comment about Kuroneko´s boobies was a no, no…Kyosuke is so dense. It was a fun ride to see both hanging around and holding hands….awwww Next thing was the hilarious moments with Kuroneko sisters! The older one thought Kuroneko was dating a 2D character and She got excited to see that it is a “real” boyfriend.  I laughed a lot here. Next thing is Kirino facing Kuroneko in this new scenario. ] It was an awkward for them. Finally, it is a fireworks night with Kuroneko and Kyosuke. At the end of the episode, we see a final note on Kuroneko´s book: Break up with Senpai. Damn, it was a fun ride but guess it just happened too soon. There is a drawing of Kyosuke and Kirino in Kuroneko´s notebook. The “Ideal World”. Guess that would never happen if They keep the relationship going. She choose Friendship.

Josh Grelle, Brina Palencia star in Future Diary series shipping on DVD on August 13

It's a good time to be a fan of the original Digimon anime series! We've seen the entire series released on DVD, cameos in the latest anime series, new video games, and now more collector figures. The newest figure from MegaHouse for the P! G.E.M. series features a jumping Tai with Aguman being held up in the air. This appears to be the first in a smaller scale of the popular high-end G.E.M. figure line, but there are few details to really go on. Price and release date aren't known yet, but I'm pretty sure we'll be seeing a lot more from this series in the near future.  [via Akiba Hobby] Read more...

According to the official website, the second season of TV Anime Infinite Stratos will be aired in this Fall, starting from October 2013. We’ve been taling about the rumor for quite a while, and the announcement of second season was just made last month. Several new heroines were mentioned in the previous rumor and we can already seen one of them Tatenashi Sarashiki (?? ??) on the official website. Even though you might not be very interested in the cliche Harem story, it is still good to have loads of cute girls and Charlotte back. The blog was lack of update recently, due to recent busy schedule partly. Also as you might already know that I am currently working on the next theme for the blog, and quite a lot new stuffs are around the corner. Stay tuned and it will be coming some time next month.Source: Official WebsiteThis post Infinite Stratos Second Season in Fall was written originally at TheAkiba. and is not allowed to be copied on other sites.Related posts:Infinite Stratos Second Season AnnouncedIllustration of the Week 2: Infinite StratosWill there be a Second Season of Infinite Stratos?

Kristina and Pedro already mentioned some of the goods that MegaHouse had on display at the MegaHobby Expo in Japan but the series that really caught my eye are the Oobu from Sakura Taisen (Sakura Wars, in English). As you may have gathered from looking at the photos, the Oobu are the psychic energy-powered armored mechs that the girls use in the series. I always loved the look of them. Each of the Oobu comes equipped its corresponding weapons. Sakura's pink Oobu is armed with her katana. The red Oobu, belonging to Kanna, has spiked knuckles. Ogami's twin swords come with his white Oobu. Iris's yellow Oobu don't come with weapons, as she sort of acts as medic to the team. Kohran's green Oobu has rocket launchers. The purple Oobu, which belongs to Sumire, is equipped with a naginata. Maria's blue Oobu (it looks more black in the picture) is armed with several types of guns.  No word on a release date yet. For now, we just have some pretty pictures to look at. [via Akiba Hobby] Read more...

This Saturday post is the weekly Type-Moon news in addition to the regular APB post on Sunday. If you have any suggestions for what to highlight on the Type-Moon Weekly News Roundup drop me a line via email or Twitter. And So it End Before it Begins Or more like it was announced that StylipS is doing the ending song to the Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya. (Even though I scientifically proved last week it should have clearly been Kojima Megumi.) Apparently it is about more than just capturing cards. Magical Girls are All About the Costumes There are some more Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya character designs. Now you can see Luviagelita Edelfelt in her full glory. Competition for the Ahnenerbe More information about the Fate/Zero cafe 4-koma manga is getting an anime with the Garden Of Sinners re-release. Maybe this is where  Chikagi Katsuragi and Hibiki Hibino go to relax. The Wedding of Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus Tomopop gives the Saber Bride Figma the once over. Don’t worry Arco Wada fans. They made sure to include the ass crack window in the figure. ‘Cause Baby, You’re a Firework It seems they have not totally forgotten that Sakura is one of the three main heroines of Fate/Stay Night and got around to finishing her yukata figure. Now on to Saber Alter. You Trigger My Trap Card, Kid Gilgamesh! In order to truly betray my roommate Type-Moon is not only just releasing a Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya for the 3DS but they are making it a card battling game. In their defense if there is one type of game to make for Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya it would be a card battling game. (At least it is not a dating sim.) Sure Beats Fighting for Your Life on the Moon The latest game to get some sweet Type-Moon skins is Valhalla Knights 3. This time it is Saber and Caster from Fate/Extra CCC. I would not mind playing a GothLoli Caster. The Master of Rider’s Release Date … Wavers A little delay before the new Waver Velvet figure comes out from ALTAiR.

You just can't keep Valvrave the Liberator down. The least sane anime of Spring 2013 is set to inflict itself on other media, this time heading for print. But it isn't just any old prequel/side-story production, oh no.  Instead, Valvrave the Liberator: Comet Valkyrie is a spin-off starring Saki Rukino, idol, pilot of the green-colored Valvrave IV (she calls it "Carmilla"), and all-around manipulative alpha lady. The plot details are sparse at the moment, but it looks like the story will be centered around Saki's idol days "and other things". Given some of the developments seen in the most recent episodes of Valvrave, the possibilities for those "other things" are practically endless. I'm certainly interested, though I have to say that the manga will have its work cut out for it. Can it out-crazy its animated parent? It'll have to, because to be totally honest, Valvrave isn't very good when it's not being insane. Read more...

Cover Shot! is a regular feature here at the Café. I love discovering new covers, and when I find them, I like to share. More than anything else, I am consumed with the mystery that each new discovery represents. There is an allure to a beautiful cover. Will the story contained under the pages live up to promise of the gorgeous cover art? I have loved every cover for Anne Lyle’s Night’s Masque series, and the cover for The Prince of Lies is no exception.  What a bad-ass cover!  I have these on my TBR pile, and I’m hoping that I’ll get to them soon!  In the meantime, I’ll just drool over the covers. In stores November 2013       Elizabethan spy Mal Catlyn has everything he ever wanted—his twin brother Sandy restored to health, his family estate reclaimed and a son to inherit it—but his work isn’t over yet. The guisers’ leader, Jathekkil, has reincarnated as the young Prince Henry Tudor, giving Mal a chance to eliminate his enemies whilst they are at their weakest. With Sandy’s help Mal learns to harness his own magic in the fight against the renegade skraylings, but it may be too late to save England. Schemes set in motion decades ago are at last coming to fruition, and the barrier between the dreamlands and the waking world is wearing thin…
