Random Musings – Extra Episodes Edition

A couple of quick, important tidbits:

  • If you haven’t heard yet (news travels so fast on the Internet), Mai-Otome is getting a set of four OAVs to be released this autumn. The article, from Megami Magazine, thanks the fans for their support and says that they’re using new characters while still considering which of the current characters to use. Since the TV series explores the training of Otome, the OAVs will cover the next crisis that befalls the world of the Otome System.
  • MOON PHASE notices that there’s a lot of series getting extra episodes in the DVDs including Kashimashi (episode 13), IGPX (episodes 25-26), SOLTYREI (episode 25-26), Yomigaeru Sora – Rescue Wings – (episode 13), Binchou-tan (episodes 10-12), and Mushishi (episode 21).

    Random Musings – Aquarion Season 2? Edition

  • The official Aquarion Blog features this image you see to the side from the Tokyo International Anime Fair with the words “2006 Autumn.” No word yet whether this means that a sequel is in production or if it’s an OVA or a game or something. I’d certainly love to see a second series, but I won’t get my hopes too high just yet. Thanks to Guido and BluWacky for the head’s-up.
  • This is semi-old news, but there’s going to be a Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid OVA coming out on May 26th. It’s supposed to be about a day in the life of Tessa, which would suggest that it’ll be a lot more light-hearted than TSR was.
  • The next set of Bleach opening and ending songs have been announced:
    OP4: 「TONIGHT,TONIGHT,TONIGHT」 by BEAT CRUSADERS
    ED7: 「HANABI」 by いきものがかり (ikimono-gakari)
