K-On!!, the innovatively titled second season of the popular K-On! anime, has now been saddled with an April 6th air date.

The weekend’s always a busy time for anime, since so many popular shows air on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Three of the big streaming highlights were the usual shounen fare, but there are some hidden gems with a lot of potential that you should keep an eye on, too.

Yesterday, the FUNimation Roll-Out Riot gave us more anime news on both the action and cute girl fronts with a pair of wildly different shows: Jyushin Enbu Hero Tales and Master of Martial Hearts (AKA Zettai Shougeki Plantonic Heart). The two shows work on completely different levels, with one being a wuxia-inspired action tale with [...]

Today’s “that was inevitable” moment came when the official site for Kyoto Animation’s musical hit K-On! was updated with the above image, which confirmed a second season for the slice of life show about a high school all-girl band. Given the stellar sales of the DVDs and the show’s massive fan base (the show’s representation [...]

Did everyone have a good weekend? I spent most of it playing Tokimeki Memorial 4, but there was plenty of motion in the anime world. Among other things, we have a manga sequel to magical girl series Shugo Chara, an anime sequel to parody/history/moe anime Shin Koihime Musou, and a note of recognition for one [...]
