In this morning’s update: Witchblade anime site updated (and manga released), a moe coloring book, Tsuma to Mama to Boin demo movie, Shuffle! sequel announced, March 10th in eroge, and general catching up.
Media Side
- The official Witchblade anime site was updated several days ago (if transition to a Flash version can be called an “update”), along with the news that it will air starting April 5th at 25:45, following the web radio by a couple of days. There’s a link to an English version of the site as well, but something tells me the words “coming soon” aren’t quite an adequate translation for the Japanese content of the main page. Speaking of Witchblade, the first chapter of the manga hit shelves on March 18th in Champion RED… Must look into that.
- The “second” issue (in reality the fourth? fifth?) of Toranoana’s Moyori magazine will street on April 10th.
- The OP video for upcoming OVA Dai Mahou Touge is now streaming online at the show’s official site.
- TV Tokyo has a new web portal online to showcase some of its prime time anime offerings.
- If you’ve always wanted to be a moe artist but don’t have the line art skills, Moe Nurie is here to the rescue. Color in the prerendered line art provided in what is essentially a coloring book, or digitally paint it from the accompanying CD-ROM. Out on March 23rd.
Ero Side
- The release of 0verflow’s Summer Days has been delayed to June 23rd. Why they can’t color the whole game like this image of contrition instead of in zombievision, I don’t know.
- A bit late on this one, but G.J?’s Tsuma to Mama to Boin has updated with both a full demo movie and another sample in-game animation clip. April 28th will be an oppai matsuri indeed…
- This may be general news by now, but it seems Navel has a sequel to Shuffle! in the works for their next eroge project (scooped in the latest Comptiq, among other places).
- Galge.com scoops the 14 eroge titles on sale Friday, March 10th. Better late than never… the big titles from two weeks ago were Waffle’s Nukenin, Anesen’s Oshiete Miko-sensei, and Sohfu’s Hidamari no Hana. Perhaps more noteworthy than any of them would be the set Nukenin trading figures coming from Solid Theater at some point in the as-yet undefined future; more news on these as it becomes available.
- A visual fan book for Atelier Kaguya’s Anejiru went on sale March 15th. [Akiba-k scoop]
- In eroanime news, the second episode of D3 / White Bear’s Nee, Chanto Shiyouyo! OVA will be out on April 21st.

And with that we’re more or less clear through last Friday’s batch of news. On a roll here…
Shingo is talking about eroge.. all’s well with the world. (So much so, he’s forgetten about figurines) XD
lol at the moe nurie site. Moe english translators, moe moe champagne, moe canned food… where it does end!?! I like moe but this is wayyyy overboard.
Moe Nurie confounds me. Is it just a promo site for a CD-ROM colouring book with info on the collection and a random comic strip or is there some other content buried there amongst the seas of kanji?
>>DMC
As far as I can tell that’s pretty much it. A mystery indeed…
>>Shingo
Ahh. A shame, since a sample page or two would’ve been fairly kickass.
eek. Yes it is quite disappointing that there are no samples. Does it mean that we only get one illustrator? Or will there be different shapes and sizes of raw moe energy?
the tsuma to mama to boin demo was awesome.
>>kwok
I’d assume only one artist, but I might be wrong. And I do hope I’m wrong.
Apparently the work of three different artists is featured in this first volume: 風上旬, U-K, and るりã‚046. They each contribute four images for coloring; sounds about right given the price point, additional tutorial material and included CD-ROM. It’s a shame there aren’t any sample images in evidence. :(
