| 11:55pm | Kiddy Grade to stream on Hulu | | | | The Hulu advertising-supported video service has announced that it will be streaming a number of Viz Media and Funimation titles, including Kiddy Grade. I cannot attest to the picture quality as I've heard of the site before and would have signed up to watch movies if it wasn't for the fact that you... |
| 12:40am | Kiddy Grade full series on Youtube | | | | FUNimation posted up the remaining episodes while my site was down so I couldn't update, and I was also on holiday and have been busy/ill since so not had time to update my playlists until now. FUNimation do have their own playlist for the series but in the words of Magnus Magnusson "I've started so... |
| 11:25pm | Gocky Club Summer 2008 | | | | My copy of Gokikura 22 arrived via SMJ the other day and I finally have time to throw an entry together about it. This is, to my knowledge, the second full colour volume but it is no Gocky Colour 02 - the title is Gokikura Compilation (soushuuhen) and that is essentially what it is - most of the art... |
| 8:32am | New Kiddy Grade Eclair figure 2008 | | | | I've had a couple of blips on my news filters recently that I thought were just spam, but it turns out there's a brand new Eclair figure due out in November from Musashiya priced at 19,800 yen (!). It is 1/5 scale (apparently about a foot longin total) in resin and comes pre-assembled and painted (which... |
| 1:59am | Four new Kiddy Grade episodes up on Youtube | | | | The next four Kiddy Grade episodes (5-8) are now up on Youtube. FUNimation has now added a playlist of their own that plays through the first 4 episodes, but haven't added the new ones to it yet so here they are: Episode 5 Episode 6 Episode 7 Episode 8 All episodes |
| 1:16pm | Kiddy Grade episodes online - legally | | | | This is something I should have reported on at the time, but it apparently slipped my mind. In addition to the two episodes streaming on their website and on Gaia (as reported previously), FUNimation are also now streaming episodes of Kiddy Grade (and other of their series) free on Youtube (four episodes... |
| 8:39pm | Gocky Club 22 update | | | | The Gocky Club site has been updated. As well as a new top image (the old top image has been archived to a new gallery page) the products page has been updated to indicate that the Gocky Colour 2 book I reported previously has been postponed, so volume 22 is instead going to be a regular issue. Cover... | | |
| 2:06am | Kiddy Grade DVD Box 2 | | | | The second box containing the last 12 episodes arrived today, pictures and screenshots at the album linked below. The sound layer, which is about 15 mins long, starts with Norio Wakamoto (Chevalier) being Norio Wakamoto but, as with last time, Liquiy (Ikue Kimura) then arrives to much hilarity. She... | | |
| 1:03am | Ga-rei zero to air this Autumn | | | | Ga-rei zero, the anime adaption of the Ga-rei manga by Segawa Hajime is, like Kiddy Grade 2, to be animated by asread. According to Moonphase it is now scheduled to air this Autumn. Since they only have two completed series under their belt where they were the lead producers (Shuffle! and Minami-ke... | | |
| 12:10am | Double Cast Dakimakura | | | | A piece of news that I would have posted back when it broke were the site not also broke at the time, is that along with the Gocky Club 22 there is also going to be a Gotoh illustrated dakimakura (body/hugging pillow, link somewhat NSFW) cover on sale at the Summer Comiket (Comike 74 in August) featuring... | | |
| 11:39pm | Kiddy Grade box 2 images | | | | It's a little late since the release date is already past (my copy was shipped out yesterday), but the official site has posted images of the 2nd DVD box. The image is, of course, the same as the one that was published ages ago but with a simply background, which is slightly different again to the one... |
| 10:12pm | Kiddy Grade 2 in Animedia | | | | As an update to my earlier post regarding a couple of magazines out this month featuring Gotoh illustrations, apparently I need to add a third Japanese magazine to my list of things to buy as there's to be some Kiddy Grade 2 illustrations in Animedia (one each of Ascule and Que Feuilles). My order from... | | |
| 1:52am | Lucky Star OVA available for pre-order | | | | The Lucky Star OVA is now available for order from CDJapan: Lucky Star OVA (Title subject to change) The release date is the 28th of August and the price is 5800 yen (6090 yen with tax). Yasuhiro Takemoto is directing as per episodes 5 onwards of the TV series. There's no other information on CDJ, but... | | |
| 12:52am | Kiddy Grade DVD box 1 | | | | The first DVD box has arrived, and you can see pictures here. It is smaller than I imagined - the case isn't much taller than a DVD. The disc prints mirror the original cover artwork rather than the original discs themselves (at least when compared to the Collectors Edition as I do not have any of the... |
| 8:09pm | Kiddy Grade box images | | | | Somehow I've missed this till now, but they have posted images of the first DVD box on the official site, so as my copy is yet to arrive (still waiting for Clannad 6 as well and that was posted a couple of days earlier but then they have a fair way to travel and need to stop over in Croydon on the way..).... | | |
