Thanks to images gathered up by Moon Phase, we now have printed confirmation that To Aru Majutsu no Index is getting its much-awaited second season. Sparse information has been provided, but since a PSP game is scheduled for the winter, it’s safe to assume that this one won’t slip any later than the Winter season. [...]

If 2008′s To Aru Majutsu no Index anime felt incomplete to you, that’s because it was – the original novels have a lot more material to cover. While the spinoff To Aru Kagaku no Railgun was quite popular, Japanese blog Kyou mo Yarareyaku’s picture of a To Aru Majutsu no Index 2 announcement has sent [...]

It’s been a while since we had a proper comedy-fantasy, with the Slayers series and its many imitators going into general dormancy after the ’90s. That’s why I’m mildly hopeful for the redundantly-named The Legend of the Legendary Heroes, which follows the good ol’ fantasy formula of a lazy, dumb guy and a hyper-violent girl [...]

Last week, I was pretty vocal about how much I love Baka To Test To Shoukanjuu, and I’d like to remind everyone that if you’re in the United States, you can watch the wonderful high school fantasy/comedy on FUNimation’s video site or on Hulu.

We’ve been getting a lot of good spring anime previews over the last couple weeks, and Marvelous Entertainment adds to the momentum with its promo for Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou (“The Demon King in the Back”), now available on the anime’s official site. The anime is based on a series of light novels (seriously, is [...]

I’ve become a huge fan of Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu, but I’ve gotten impatient and have started reading the novels to try and devour as much of it as I can in a short time period. I can’t recommend this course of action to anyone else because it’s expensive and requires a working knowledge [...]

The new winter season has brought a flurry of excitement to the anime world, but the latest batch of streaming anime to hit the ‘net reminds you that you don’t always have to be on the bleeding edge of what’s on to enjoy yourself. FUNimation is going to stream episode 40 of Full Metal Alchemist: [...]

Head over to the official Fate/stay Night page right now and you’ll see a new Flash trailer that provides a fairly comprehensive overview of the all-new movie, which tells an alternate version of the story of the popular Fate/stay Night anime. The animation and the music, combined with the promise of less time for main [...]

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 [...]
