I found a rather interesting post on GameFAQs which led to a blog post which can be found here. Credits to their respective peoples.

Darker than Black Season 2 is in the works, eh? Bring on the Hei, that’s what I’ll say. There’s also talk about how the leaked cache seemed to detail some personal information about the animators, phone numbers and that sort of thing… Overall I’ll take this with a grain of salt for now but it’s certainly interesting.

In a bold move today, Kadokawa USA announced licenses for Coo ~ Our Guardian (Wagaya no Oinari-sama), H2O ~ Footprints in the Sand, Junjou Romantica, Ninomiya-kun, Rental Magica, and Spice and Wolf. Let’s shout our sarcastic enthusiasm to the stars. Yay mediocrity! Now for the sub-license predictions. ADV is here assuming they’ll stay alive and get a couple licenses.

Coo ~ Our Guardian (Wagaya no Oinari-sama): Bandai.
H2O: Funimation/ADV as the front-runners.
Junjou Romantica: Bandai.
Ninomiya-kun: Normally I would say ADV but it may also go to Funi.
Rental Magica: Funimation.
Spice and Wolf: Hmm… It’s a long shot but my money is on Media Blasters.

Watch none of these predictions be right.

Edit: Some miscellaneous tidbits grabbed from Anime on DVD. The first Darker than Black DVD is slated for November 28 from Funimation. News on the Bandai/Honnemaise front says that Sola, True Tears, and Shigofumi are still on the backburner among other things.

Lots of stuff happening on Anime Expo weekend.

First order of business, Bandai licenses the Hayate the Combat Butler anime and a manga version of The Girl That Leapt Through Time. Very exciting news, but then I remember that Hayate will get the Bandai treatment with uber expensive special collector’s packages and is also 52 episodes… Joy.

Oh yeah. Gundam 00 and its cast of androgynous men will air on the Sci-Fi channel twice a week starting November 17. Meh. Mark your calendars if you want to. Or not. The DVD release will come sometime in 2009.

Funimation is in ADV’s house acquiring their animu. 30 titles to be exact, but with a few exceptions, most of the titles are very niche. As much as I like Air, Kanon, and Welcome the the NHK, these titles probably won’t rake in tons of money for Funi. It does bring them one step closer to becoming the industry giant though.

Dark Horse acquires an Evangelion spin-off manga based on… Raising Shinji Ikari. Who wants to do that exactly? The question I raise is who actually likes Shinji enough to be interested? On second thought, don’t answer that.

Not to be left out, Right Stuf made some announcements too. Gakuen Alice boxset slated for Spring 2009 as well as a DVD release for the anime film, Toward the Terra.

Viz has been pretty busy too with a planned four disc boxset for Hunter x Hunter, as well as plans for Nana, Monster (2009), and Honey and Clover (2009).
