[Videos] Two new live-action Bakuman movie trailers streamed

The official TOHO movie channel has started streaming two new videos for the upcoming live-action movie adaptation of Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata’s manga about making a manga, Bakuman. The first video is the movie’s full trailer and the second one is the teaser trailer

Both videos also feature the movie’s theme song, “Shin Takarajima” by the J-Rock band, Sakanaction, which is a nod to manga legend and Astro Boy creator, Osamu Tezuka’s “New Treasure Island” manga which was released back in 1947. “New Treasure Island” was Osamu Tezuka’s first published manga and is fitting for a movie which pays homage to the manga industry itself.

Takeru Satoh, who is known for playing Kenshin Himura in the live action Ruruoni Kenshin movies will once again be playing a Shounen Jump! character in aspiring manga artist, Mashiro Moritaka. Playing Mashiro’s manga-writing-partner, Akito Takagi, will be Ryunosuke Kamiki who plays Soujirou Seta alongside Satoh in the live action Rurouni Kenshin sequel movies.

The movie will be based on Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata’s best-selling manga series about making mangas and is scheduled to premiere in Japan on October 3, 2015.

Blood Blockade Battlefront final episode is delayed until further notice

Some bad news for anime fans as the official website for the Blood Blockade Battlefront anime adaptation has announced that the anime’s 12th and final episode, originally scheduled to be aired on July 4, 2015, will be delayed until further notice.

This means that fans will have to wait a lot longer than expected to finally see how the series will end. The anime’s staff announced that they have determined that the final episode cannot be aired in a 30-minute timeslot.

Now that’s a bummer indeed as the anime is currently at its climax. The official website however announced that a special program will be aired it its place instead

[VIDEO] Assassination Classroom 3DS game to feature God Eater costumes

The Assassination Classroom anime adaptation may have already ended, but its 3DS video game is still going strong, and it adds several very special God Eater DLC costumes this July 16, 2015, and they are all going to be free!

This new DLC will include two new “Mission Time” missions, both of which contain the collaboration between Assassination Classroom and God Eater. One mission has the students attempt to kill Koro-sensei, who is wearing an Ogretail Aragami headgear, for a certain amount of time. The other mission meanwhile will have the players play as Koro-sensei himself, and still wears that Ogretail Aragami headgear

Those who clear both of these missions will be rewarded with special collaboration costumes, which include the Ogretail Aragami headgear for Koro-Sensei, Alisa’s hair and costume for the female students, and Lindow’s hair and costume for female students. I wonder if Nagisa can wear both since he is considered a trap after all…

The new Assassination Classroom game was released in Japan for Nintendo’s 3DS last March and it allows players to create their own avatar to be a Class E student and interact with the students, teachers, and other characters from the manga

Building which served as Nico Yazawa"s home to be demolished

The Shouhei Bridge Building in Akihabara, Tokyo has served as the anime pilgrimage spot for many Love Live! fans, also known as Love Livers, as it has been featured in the second season of Love Live! as the apartment complex Nico Yazawa lives in.

However, there are some sad news about the anime pilgrimage spot as the building has failed earthquake safety tests and been deemed unsafe when a major earthquake strikes Japan once again as it has been found out that it may collapse. Because of this, the Tokyo Kouyuukai has determined that it must be torn down and tenants must find a different building to live in and vacate the premises by the end of September. The building is set to be demolished by the end of the year. Here are a few comparison images around the building’s area

Now that’s a shame indeed. Hopefully, this will give rise to an even more structurally sound and safer building for tenants

We are not surprised with #1 as Charapedia ranks the Top 20 best voice actresses who are the best singers

In Japan, voice actors, or seiyuus, are pretty much considered pop stars, and they even release their own songs, some of which are part of the soundtrack for the anime they are voicing a character for.

For this week’s Charapedia poll, the Japanese anime character database has asked 10,000 anime fans, 53.7% female and 46.3% male, which seiyuu is the best singer out there. The rankings are divided into male and female seiyuu rankings, with the male results being released on a later date. Here are the Top 20 females”:

20) Yuka Iguchi (A Certan series’ Index and Kantai Collection’s Kaga)

19) Suzuko Mimori (Love Live!’s Umi Sonoda and Yuru Yuri’s Himawari Furutani)

18) Yui Horie (Kanon’s Aki Tsukimiya and Love Hina’s Naru Narusegawa)

17) Aki Toyosaki (K-On!’s Yui Hirasawa and To Love-Ru’s Momo Deviluke)

16) Chiaki Takahashi (iDOLM@STER’s Azusa Miura and Chaos; Head’s Yua Kusonoki)

15) Miyuki Sawashiro (Black Rock Shooter’s Dead Master and Durarara!!’s Celty)

14) Asami Imai (iDOLM@STER’s Chihaya Kisaragi and Hyperdimension Neptunia’s Noire)

13) Yukari Tamura (Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha’s Nanoha Takamachi and Akame Ga Kill!’s Mine)

12) Aya Hirano (The Haruhi Suzumiya series’ Haruhi Suzumiya and Fairy Tail’s Lucy Heartfilia)

11) Sora Amamiya (Seven Deadly Sins’ Elizabeth and One Week Friends’ Kaori Fujimiya)

10) Megumi Hayashibara

(Evangelion’s Rei Ayanami and Ranma 1/2’s female Ranma)

9) Minori Chihara

(Beyond the Boundary’s Mitsuki Nase and the Haruhi Suzumiya series’ Yuki Nagato)

8) Haruka Tomatsu

(Sword Art Online’s Asuna and Magi’s Morgiana)

7) Maaya Sakamoto

(Ghost in the Shell: Arise’s Motoko Kusanagi and Monogatari’s Shinobu Oshino)

6) Youko Hikasa

4) Kana Hanazawa

2) Saori Hayami

(OreImo’s Ayase Aragaki and Monogatari’s Yotsugi Ononoki)

1) Nana Mizuki

(Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha’s Fate Testarossa and Naruto’s Hinata Hyuuga)

Fans think Nana Mizuki is the best singer among the seiyuus?! Who could have seen that one coming?! With chart-topping singles and collaborations and singing the theme songs for anime she is not even voicing a character for, Nana Mizuki is currently one of the most on-demand seiyuus today, and her victory comes at absolutely no surprise at all!

#2 ranked Saori Hayami meanwhile ain’t any slouch either as she has voiced many AniSongs as well, and we all know what Love Live! seiyuu Yoshino Nanjou, as well as the versatile Kana Hanazawa can do on stage as singers.

Hyperdimension War Neptunia VS Sega Hard Girls to have original protagonist

Compile Heart’s Shingo Onodera and Sega’s Masahiro Nakayama have recently sat down with Dengeki PlayStation Magazine to talk about their Hyperdimension War Neptunia VS Sega Hard Girls crossover game as well as the upcoming Extreme Dimension Tag Blanc + Neptune VS Zombie Army game. In that interview, they revealed a few details about the games

For Hyperdimension War Neptunia VS Sega Hard Girls, it was revealed that the game will not have good’ol Nep-Nep (Neptune) or the Sega Hard Girls as the main characters, but will instead focus on an original protagonist named Hatsumi Sega. She will be designed by renowned illustrator, Tsunako, and will be a short girl with an s-shaped ponytail (Because it’s Sega). Development for the game has already started last fall and is handled by Felistella.

Many fans have believed that the game will be a crossover fighting game, however, the interview revealed that the game will in-fact be an RPG, just like the Hyperdimension Neptunia games, however, the gameplay will be quite different. It will focus on Hatsumi Sega and Hyperdimension Neptunia’s IF, who is based on Idea Factory.

As for Extreme Dimension Tag Blanc + Neptune VS Zombie Army, Nakayama and Onodera revealed that Tamsoft is developing the game and it will not be a direct sequel to any of the Hyperdimension Neptunia games or any of its spin-offs. It will feature a school sports story where all the characters who appeared in Hyperdimension Neptunia U are featured wearing school uniforms.

Both the Hyperdimension War Neptunia VS Sega Hard Girls crossover game as well as the upcoming Extreme Dimension Tag Blanc + Neptune VS Zombie Army game will be released for the PlayStation Vita

The 7 NEW anime to look out for this Summer 2015

As June is about to end to make way for July, new anime are about to take over and replace a few which have just ended. We now take a look at seven new anime fans should watch out for this upcoming Summer 2015 season.

Previously, we presented our list of returning anime that we think fans should continue, and this time, we take a look at new anime. These anime have not yet been officially adapted into an anime in the past, so therefore, you won’t be seeing titles like Dragon Ball Super, Non Non Biyori Repeat, and iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls part 2 here. After careful deliberation and much debating, arguing, and fighting, here are our picks:

Monster Musume

Summer usually means ecchi anime, but out of all of them, the one which has the most hype coming into summer is Monster Musume, which is based on the New York Times bestselling manga by Okayado, which follows an exchange program between humans and monsters. Monster girl fans, rejoice!

Chaos Dragon

Based on the tabletop rpg, Red Dragon, Chaos Dragon is a massive multi-media collaboration featuring characters made by some anime heavyweights, including Gen Urobuchi (Madoka Magica and Aldnoah.Zero), Kinoko Nasu (The Fate series and Tsukihime), and Ryohgo  Narita (Durarara!! and Baccano). The story is set in the country of Nil Kamui, which was wiped out in a war.

Sore Ga Seiyuu!

Sore Ga Seiyuu is a behind-the-scenes comedy anime about seiyuus and is based on the manga written by actual seiyuu, Masumi Asano (Ikki Tousen’s Hakufu Sonsaku and Hayate the Combat Butler!’s Risa Asakaze) and illustrated by Hayate the Combat Butler! mangaka, Kenjiro Hata. With the success of anime like Shirobako and Bakuman, which give us a behind-the-scenes look at the anime and manga industries respectively, Sore Ga Seiyuu! is one which should not be missed

God Eater

Based on Bandai Namco’s popular and bestselling video game series, this new anime adaptation depicts humanity’s war against the aragamis. With ufotable animating it, this one is surely going to feature beautiful animation and an engaging story

Ranpo Kitan: Game of Laplace

Edogawa Ranpo has left an indelible mark in the history of Japanese literature, and Ranpo Kitan: Game of Laplace is inspired by this literary legend’s works and was made to celebrate the 50th anniversary of his passing. The anime is scheduled to be a part of the legendary Noitamina anime block which has produced many anime classics like Honey and Clover, Psycho-Pass, and Nodame Cantabile.

Charlotte

After making us cry with Angel Beats!, Jun Maeda and Key Visual Arts are back with a new original anime titled Charlotte, which explores the lives of teenagers with supernatural powers. Since this is a Key anime, make sure you pack lots of tissues because you may be crying a whole lot… Just like Clannad

Gate

What happens when fantasy and reality meet? This is the premise of Gate, which follows Japan’s Self Defense Force members as they explore a new world which was opened in a “gate” in the middle of Tokyo. This “gate” leads to a world filled with fantastical creatures from elves to dragons and everything in between
