FollowAs long time fan of the series, I have to post that Blade of the Immortal (currently being released in NorthAmerica by DarkHorse) is being adapted into an anime. I’ve heard similiar rumours here and there for years so hopefully this one’s the real deal.
Tokyopop has confirmed two licenses previously announced a few months back. The manga adaptation of the popular game franchise, Shin Megumi Tensei is slated for release along with Shin Petshop of Horrors, the sequel to Petshop of Horrors. Shin Petshop of Horrors is being released under the name, New Petshop of Horrors.
Looks like YTV has done some rethinking about playing Death Note. The premiere episode has been taken down from their schedule with no word as to why. Fans hope that it’s merely being pushed back, perhaps due to waiting for more episodes to be dubbed, and not cancelled due to a relooking at the content, much darker than YTV’s usual showings. Replacing Death Note’s first showtime is Inu-Yasha. YTV’s new Bionix schedule can be read here.
The North American premiere of the Death Note anime will be on Canada’s YTV. Playing during the later half of YTV’s Bionix showing, Death Note, episode one, will play on Friday September 7th, 11pm Atlantic-time, 10pm Central.
The first episode of the popular OEL animation Avatar, season 3, will play on YTV, Friday September 21st, 6pm Atlantic-time, 5pm Central.

A new magazine revolving around yaoi and its fans, suitably named Yaoi Magazine has recently popped up. It’s first issue is set for a November release. Yaoi Magazine is currently accepting submissions of original art, stories reviews and articles.
A possible leak may have revealed that the popular manga series, Junjo Romantica, a yaoi by Shungiku Nakamura, is being made into an anime. While the page which gave this information was quickly removed a day later, it still leaves fans wondering and hoping for the best after such a slew of successful manga-to-anime series in the yaoi genre so far this year.
