Anime Updates

Meaning to do this for a while. Features upcoming series, new announcements and whatnot's like that.
Yozakura Quartet ~Hoshi no Umi~ OAV
It's not an announcement for a second season (though I really wouldn't mind one), but rather an announcement on a remake of a specific arc in the anime. Can't remember how it played out in the anime, but the remake will be more faithful to the source material, being the manga. For those who read the manga, the OVA should cover chapters 25-33. Doesn't seem like the seiyuu cast has changed from the anime, so those of you who watched the first run (the anime) won't have any problems adjusting, since it won't be any different. The first episode is being released bundled together with the 9th manga volume.
Kure-nai (OAV)

Is happy about this. Kure-nai was great and the OAV is great news! It seems that the character design isn't the same the TV series, though the animation production is done by the same company, Brains Base, who have really made a name for themselves, having done Spice & Wolf, Baccanno!, Natsume Yuujinchou, and more recently, Durarara!!. From the looks of it, it'll be starting at chapter 18 in the manga (no clue about the original light novel). You can see the trailer for the OVA over at the official site, or over on YT.

The title's a mouthful, yes, but it's great. Animated by AIC, and keeping the seiyuu castings that did the drama CD. AIC has a bit of an iffy track record, as their branch companies have done better works than the main company. Not sure when this is airing, there are rumours of it starting up in the fall season, and it running for two cours (24-26ish episodes). It's an otaku-centric comedy, with a dash of romance and whatnot. Interpersonal relationships, and the prejudice against otaku and whatnot are all themes in this one.

YEAAAAHHHH. This deserves a huzzah to the highest degree. All together now, huzzah!! Anywho, this isn't new actually, it's at least a few months old. It airs this summers and I'm going to do the Summer Anime Previews later in the month so I won't talk much about it here. What I will say is that it's being animated by MADHOUSE and that the manga also restarts serialization along with the airing on the anime. You can see the trailer over on the official site here.
