Alright so, if you’ve noticed, Anime Evo has been pretty much dead lately, with little no updates anywhere. The reason for this is that I recently had a HDD failure, and lost my data for the Layout .PSDs and the extra content I had done.

I am going to try and attempt to retreive the data. Failing that, I will be updating Anime Evo with a brand new, spaking version 3. The Wordpress and Blogs will be updated to their latest versions, and will be integrated into the site more fully.

We also have a ton of reviews ready for the recently finished shows (and those that are about to finish). We’ll have those up soon too, along with some other neat stuff that I’m not ready to reveal yet.

Rest assured that we are working on the site, and that content is pilling up while I struggle to fix the issue that’s happened. It’ll take me a few more days to get back on my feet.

I hope everyone’s watching White Album, Toradora! and To Aru No Majutsu no Index. These are the best shows of the current season, and I’m enjoying watch these three.

I’m sure by now, everyone and their dog is excited about the new Full Metal Alchemist series that’s coming in 2009. To add to the hype, the 10th Episode of Gundam OO’s Season 2 has announced (at the end) that the new Full Metal Alchemist series will be airing in April 2009!!!

Beyond that there’s even a teaser trailer for the new series uploaded onto yotube, which can be viewed below: (more…)

In a rather surprising but none the less interesting piece of news, popular eroge visual novel Utawarerumono is getting a new OVA adaption, which is set to be quite different from it’s tv series sibling.

Said Adaption will be a 3 volume OVA, and is set to be released in Spring 2009. Of course, what should really get people thinking… is the fact that some “unique changes” are in store for this version. (more…)

Those of you anticipating the second season of the Slayers Revolution series, called Slayers Evolution-R, will be happy to know that the exact air date for the show’s first episode has been confirmed! (more…)

Rumours have been going around of a sequel to the Tsukhime visual novel. The information originiates from the synopsis of volume two of Type-Moon’s “Type-Moon Ace” information magazine, due for release in January.

Tsukihime II was included in a 32 page section, presumably containing details of it’s release and information on the new Visual novel.

The details were soon retracted, however, and replaced with a note stating that “further details would follow upon cofirmation”

Think of this as you will. Some rumours are floating around, calling this new “Tsukihime” nothing more than a remake. Only time will tell but… I’m sure Tsukihime fans are spazzing all over the place.
