Media Side
- WOWOW launches a “genetics” page for Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora. From what I can make out, it’s a link to various other broadband Hantsuki portals such as Biglobe that are currently offering a 15 second trailer for the show. I’m getting a good vibe from those 15 seconds, enough to convince me to watch the first episode at least. In other WOWOW news, Shinigami no Ballad is now slated to air in March 2006.
- Animate has a bunch of streaming previews online today, starting with one for the first Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Anthology drama CD. Other sample offerings include Miyazaki Hagoromo’s Girl Meets Boy maxi single, and… I guess it’s just those two.
- Episode 11 of To Heart 2 web radio is online today. If I were to provide a caption for this picture it would be something along the lines of whispered: “CURRY”.
- On sale today: everyone is going crazy over Kogado’s Joukyou Kaishi!, including Dengeki Online, Game Style, and EG. I would make some terribly crass and tasteless joke about this bringing an institutionalized face to Japan’s “comfort women”, but HD holds itself to higher comedic standards… *cough*

Ero Side
- Galge.com scoops the 20 eroge titles on sale today, December 16th. This weeks heavy hitters include Terios’s Yatohime, Talisman’s Blaze of Destiny III, Lass’s Festa!!, Clover’s Quilt, C-side’s Renaibyou, Moonstone’s Gift, and MBS Truth’s Mome! Chichi Shimai Katei Kyoushi 11. Of greatest personal interest, however, is the INO-designed Kiss x 400 from Winters. The official site is deplorably bad, but the sample CG tells another story entirely.
- Crossnet’s Ayakashi announces today that a sequel is in the works, and starts building hype with a serial web novel, a four panel manga, and a new trial edition of the game.
- This week’s Galkko feature is Black Cyc’s Gore Screaming Show. [sample CG]
- The release date for M de Pink’s Sister Scheme has been pushed back to December 29th. That still makes for three INO-designed games in one month… I’m not sure how well this will do at launch, seeing as Mink has yet to announce a presence at Comiket.
- The third part of Game Style’s 15th Heroine to Talk feature is online today, featuring another character in the cast of Clover’s Quilt.
- Galkko scoops the nurse-cosplayful December 4th lauch (cosplayful? …) of Soft On Demand’s Nanase Ren OVA.
- Novelized today: Overflow’s School Days and Candy Soft’s Tsuyokisu.

Hobby Side
- Yujin’s SR Samurai Spirits capsule figures, originally out in August, are seeing a repaint edition release this month. I prefer the black and white Iroha to this new red version, but as I missed out on the first one it’s any port in a storm.
- The few. The proud. The diary update.
- Fox Publishing / Toranoana’s Suigetsu Palm Scenery trading figures have had their release date changed from mid-December to some unspecified point in the future. No Comiket release, then…
- Pick up Anikore vol. 4 on December 20th and you’ll have the chance to order this 1/6 scale Tessa Testarossa doll from Full Metal Panic.
