I just got linked this on Twitter. It seems that Aniplex could very well be releasing the Nanoha movie soon on DVD and Bluray formats.

This is very surprising. King Records has always been the ones doing the releases related to both music and videos. And now, a Sony Music subsidary is doing the videos? If you ask me, they seem to be more interested in someone related to the franchise, rather than the franchise itself, going by the happenings of the past few months. This is just pure speculation on my part.

Just a short while back, Precure Allstars DX2 was released on dvd and blu-ray. Its a pity I can’t catch it in the cinemas but its worth the long wait till now.

Behold the latest hero in town. =D

Yes, apparently it can be done, and not just as a late April Fool’s joke. I honestly do not know what to make of this. Perhaps we are observing a grand experiment to expand the role and profile of seiyuus within the entertainment industry. Or maybe we are witnessing the beginnings of an attempt to spin more money out of seiyuus. Or probably both.

Anyways, have a look at the trailer and the movie website. If you are a seiyuu-ota, you are going to see a lot of familiar faces in there, including a deliciously slutty sexy Takahashi Chiaki. The movie is directed by Namikawa Daisuke and stars Mamoru Miyano, which means it is already guaranteed to bring in the fangirls. And no, Nana-chan is not in the movie.

Well, I am sort of jumping the gun since I did not watch the movie, but I thought I might as well post about the info I read around the Net. Spoilers ahead, so be warned.

EDIT: Updated with more new spoilers.

The list of items available to lighten your wallet has been released at the official Nanoha website. Just click on the link and click on “Goods”, and plan your budget from there.

I really want to just go for the whole set and be done with it, but nah, resources are tight this month. Since that’s the case, I will likely go for the Fate Testarossa T-shirt or mug. And at the same time I will pretend I never read the weird engrish sentences on both the Nanoha and Fate T-shirts.

This album is ownage. Pure, unadulterated ownage.

If you like Nana, you should… nay, you NEED to go out and buy a copy of this. This album is beautiful, refreshing and epic in its musical arrangement, featuring Nana as you have never heard her before. This album made me shiver in bliss at the epic musical arrangement, and made my spirits soar as Nana’s voice took flight. 

Above all, this album proves why Nana is the Eternal Diva. 

Get it.

For our Singaporean readers out there who are fans of Nana, you will be pleased to know that Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva will be coming to Singapore’s cinemas, thanks to Encore Films. Links here. And yes, Nana-chan is credited in that link. So yeah, we should all go watch it.

Found this while checking out the movie site for updates. Limited release is limited. But the list of cinemas showing the movie has yet to be finalised and more may be added. Same date as the UBW movie to boot.

Good news for fans of Tosaka Rin. The rumor of a Fate/Stay Night movie has finally been confirmed to be the animation of the Unlimited Blade Works arc. The movie will debut on the 23rd of January next year, and apparently the seiyuu cast from the anime series will be carried over wholesale into the movie.

That means we will get more of Kana Ueda as Rin, which is a very good thing since I consider Rin as one of Kana Ueda’s best work ever. She almost always stole the show from Shiro and Saber whenever she appeared, and the Rin fan in me rejoices in her getting a whole movie to call her own.

The UBW movie aside, this trend of producing anime movies seems to be on the rise. Off the top of my head I can think of Nanoha, Gurren Lagaan, Evangelion, Macross Frontier and Kara no Kyoukai, with KnK having the distinction of never having a prior anime series adaptation before hitting the theaters. What’s next…. a K-On movie perhaps? I know I would dearly love to see a Shin Mazinger movie!
