Well, springtime sure came pretty fast ain’t it? The likes of cow-cash animes such as K-On are rocketing up to fan hype once again, as usual for Kyoto Ani stuffs. They’ll do whatever it takes to drain every single drop of money out from their production, even outright lying? Anyhow let’s just put aside that sad little studio for I have another promising theatrical anime to introduce.

Guys, meet Summer Wars. Same studio (Kadokawa) as the one who did Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo (The Girl Who Leapt Through Time).

Judging by its promo vid, this is a sweet looking production. Very fluid and smooth movements, likable characters and detailed backgrounds as well. For those who watched Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo before, Kadokawa’s productions are indeed theatrical-class quality. I’m looking forward to it.

Anyhow I’ll leave the judging to you guys. Do check out the PV below.

So FINALLY GONZO did learned something from their recent crisis eh? At first glance, this new production of theirs looks a lot more Japanese market oriented, with several promising characters abound to bring the burning fire of moeru out of anime otakus, will they recover this time!?

The promotional poster depicts crisp lines, brilliantly outlined cel-shading and such, obviously a mark of GONZO’s forte but hold on, what really caught my attention to this would be the voice actors.

Fukuyu Jun (Lelouch), Koshimizu Ami (Horo from Wolf & Spice), Ueda Kana (Tohsaka Rin in F/SN, Yumi in Marimite), Rie Kugimiya (Taiga in Toradora and all other tsunderes ever) and Itou Shizuka (Rei in Marimite). qwewqrqgomfg so many tsundere chara voice actors! I’m getting moeru spasms just by reading their names alone!!

Though I don’t really know much on it’s storyline, aside from the obvious mahjong influence; with such brilliant cast in hand (Rie Kugimiya alone would also be more than enough of a factor for me to watch lol), coupled by the fact that it’s being handled by GONZO, this would be one of my personal pick for the first half of the year. Definitely an interesting  title to look forward to.
