The August issue of Shogakukan’s Monthly Sunday GX magazine will confirm on Saturday that the third Black Lagoon anime project will be an original video anime (OVA) project in 2010. Director Sunao Katabuchi will return from the first two Black Lagoon anime projects, along with character designer Masanori Shino and the Madhouse anime studio. Megumi Toyoguchi will reprise her role as the female pirate Revy. The story revolves around a typical Japanese businessman who gets caught up in the escapades of modern-day pirate mercenaries off the Asian shores.
Viz Media will publish the seventh volume of Rei Hiroe’s original adventure manga next month. Geneon Entertainment released part of the Black Lagoon anime in North America, but Funimation has since agreed to take over distribution of the anime. Funimation reissued the first anime series and started the DVD release of the Black Lagoon: The Second Barrage series last August.

The September issue of Takeshobo’s Manga Club Original magazine will announce on Saturday that an original video anime adaptation of Takayuki Mizushina’s Kemono to Chat 4-panel manga has been green-lit. The story centers Chacha Kenomoto, a high school freshman girl who can understand the language of cats and speak with them. (The girl’s family name Kenomoto is a wordplay on the title, which literally means “Chatting with Creatures.”)
Mizushina is not only a prolific manga creator, but an actor as well. He has been drawing Kemono to Chat in Manga Club Original since 2005, and Takeshobo has published four compiled book volumes so far.

The August issue of Tokuma Shoten’s Animage magazine will publish a quote from producer Nobuhiro Nakayama regarding the upcoming Shana Project based on Yashichiro Takahashi and Noizi Ito’s fantasy light novels. Nakayama says that he is aiming for the finale of the storyline, but before the staffers can do the third series, they must delve into the background of the characters and their deep relationships. According to Nakayama, that is why they are producing the Shakugan no Shana S original video anime project first.

The official blog of the Flex Comix publisher has announced on Wednesday that an anime adaptation of Yunosuke Yoshinaga’s Broken Blade (Break Blade) alternate-world robot manga has been green-lit. CMX Manga is publishing the first volume of the manga in North America this month.
CMX Manga gives the following description of Broken Blade’s story:
Rygart Arrow is the only one in his world who lacks the inherent ability to power up quartz, the energy source that makes all of the machines run. Nevertheless, he’s pretty well connected. The King and Queen of his country of Krisna happen to be old college friends. But so is Zess, the guy who is leading the army of a neighboring kingdom in an attack on Krisna.
How did it comes to this? There’s little time to ponder the implications as an army in giant, mechanized battle suits attacks. Arrow just feels like he’s in the way – until he comes across a powerful, ancient mech that no one has yet to be able to figure out how to run. But his natural affinity for the suit’s operating mechanism may just turn Arrow into the most important player of all.
Flex Comix has published over 400,000 copies of the manga’s six current volumes. The wraparound jacket band on the sixth volume will feature the anime’s announcement when it ships on Thursday. Flex Comix’s blog promises to offer more details about the anime in future updates.

1st DVD/BD volume in October with “Shakugan no Shanatan” extra, Ito sleeve
The August issue of Kadokawa Shoten’s Newtype magazine will confirm on Friday that the new Shana anime project which was revealed last month is the Shakugan no Shana S original video anime (OVA) series. Cast members Rie Kugimiya and Satoshi Hino will reprise their roles as Shana and Yuuji, respectively.
Like the previous Shakugan no Shana anime, the new series is based on Yashichiro Takahashi and Noizi Ito’s fantasy light novels. The first volume will ship in Japan on October 23 on DVD and Blu-ray Disc. The video release will include a tentatively titled “Shakugan no Shanatan” video extra and an audio commentary track, and the first pressing will add a special sleeve illustrated by Ito.
Geneon Entertainment (USA) released the first Shakugan no Shana anime series in North America, and Funimation agreed to reissue the entire series in a DVD box set last September. Viz Media is publishing the fourth volume of Ayato Sasakura’s manga version this month. Neither the movie version nor the second television season (Shakugan no Shana Second) has been released in North America.

The August issue of Kadokawa Shoten’s Newtype magazine will announce on Friday that a television anime adaptation of Hideo Okuda’s Kūchū Buranko (Trapeze) short story collection has been green-lit. The collection is Okuda’s second book featuring the psychiatrist protagonist Ichirō Irabu and his various patients — the title refers to the first story about a circus artist who can no longer perform. The book won the prestigious 131st Naoki Prize in 2004.
The TV anime adaptation will premiere in October in Fuji TV’s popular late-night Noitamina timeslot. For the project, director Kenji Nakamura will reunite with his Ayakashi – Samurai Horror Tales (Bakeneko) and Mononoke character designer/chief animation director Takashi Hashimoto at Toei Animation.
The third Nodame Cantabile anime series was originally slated to premiere in the same Noitamina slot in October. However, Nodame Cantabile: Finale has since been rescheduled for a television premiere in January of 2010.

The third television anime series adaptation of Tomoko Ninomiya’s Nodame Cantabile romantic comedy manga will be the final one in the anime franchise. Appropriately enough, the third series, which will premiere in January, will be titled Nodame Cantabile: Finale. Like the second series (pictured at right), Finale will be set in Paris. The third series was originally slated to premiere in the fall. It will air in the same late-night Noitamina timeslot on Fuji TV as its two highly rated predecessors have. Kazuki Nakashima (Gurren Lagann) will be the third anime project’s series script supervisor.
The manga, the anime, and a separate live-action version all center around two music students who find themselves on parallel paths in Japan and later Europe. The 2006 live-action television version already spawned a two-part Cantabile Shinshun Special in Europe television special and two movies slated for next year. The original manga is on hold due to Ninomiya’s recent appendicitis. Del Rey is publishing the 16th volume of the original manga in North America this month.
Kodansha serializes the manga in Kiss magazine and has published 29.5 million copies of the 21 current volumes. The previous anime series both had average ratings above 4% — about twice what even successful late-night television series normally get.
