posted on 2007-10-23 14:53 EDT by Egan Loo

Norie Yamada and Kumichi Yoshizuki's Someday's Dreamers (Mahō Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto) magical slice-of-life manga is being adapted into a live-action film for release in Japan in Summer of 2008. The movie will star 15-year-old model and actress Rio Yamashita (Tokyo Girl drama) as a budding mage learning to use her powers in Tokyo. Director Shun Nakahara (Tomie: Forbidden Fruit) has been shooting the film from September 29 until the end of October. Tokyopop released the original manga in English in 2006, and Geneon Entertainment (USA) Inc. released the animated version in English in 2003. Thanks, dormcat. Source: Ultimatum

Are You Crazy? Volumes 1-2 Novel Review

anime

This is one of those shows that feels like it's better than it has any right to be. It drags out overused plot contrivances but then uses them perfectly as tools to explore the characters on a deeper level. ― The Ossan Newbie Adventurer is split into two distinct arcs.

manga

Despite ostensibly being a manga about a vampire working a night shift, DotNS isn’t the What We Do in the Shadows-esque comedy/slice-of-life series you might expect at first glance—because it’s not really a comedy/slice-of-life series at all. ― There's plenty of anime and manga about vampires trying to blend into human society out there, but not as many of them are terribly concerned with how their v...
