A Nodame Cantabile special focusing on the Europe arc was aired recently sometime around the new year, which was a surprise to me, since although I was a fan of the series(both anime and live action), I didn’t really keep tabs with the drama. The special itself is 2 hours long and there are currently two episodes.

With the movie out sometime next summer, a special The Making Of was aired recently, giving audience a behind the scenes look on the project. Since I don’t get half of what they’re saying, I’ll just post caps instead ^^;

About 3500 fans showed up at the Washinomiya Shrine in Saitama in conjunction with the Lucky Star event with guest appearances from the seiyuus from the show. - Source

Sigh, unfortunately for me, I was there a week earlier, and didn’t know about this event till like a week prior to my departure to Japan. Apart from the opportunity of meeting the voice actors, the event also boasted Lucky Star merchandise solely available there. Damn it!

That’s right, Lucky Star live action porn. From the same people who brought us Higurashi, Melancholy of Hahiru, Lozen Maiden, and Faith/stay knight, comes Kira☆Star. Judging from the trailer and their previous releases, I’ll be too busy trying not to laugh than actually fap to this. Nonetheless, it looks set to be some weird yuri-fest intertwined with some LOL and facepalm moments, so it should be worth a sneak peek at least…

Not entirely latest news, but after watching the trailer, I was left speechless at how horrible everything looked.

Also, they used a guy for Ku Fei. That’s it. Something inside me just died. Not even turning this into porno can save it now.

Blaarragghghahah. Okay that’s not how Ku Fei looks, but it’s close.

“….it looks like a setup for some sort of porn video, only without the porn. In short, shit sucks.”

Not to be confused with the live action porno (don’t ask) there will be an actually feature length movie in theaters next year, directed by Oikawa Otaru. With additional information courtesy of Famitsu, all the actors playing the main characters have been announced. As history has shown, game/anime to movie transitions never turn out well, and sure enough, fans have already gathered together to protest against this. Below are the list of the actors and the characters they will be playing as:

Maeda Gouki(16) as Maebara Keiichi

Matsuyama Airi(17) as Ryuugu Rena

Asuka Rin(16) as Sonozaki Mion

Ono Erena(13) as Houjo Satoko

Aika(15) as Furude Rika

What can I say? Well, for one, no matter how the movie turns out to be, I guess the consolation is that the actors here look way better than the ones in the pr0n I guess ^^; Also, how they can compress so much of the story in a 2 hour(at best) movie is beyond me. In any case, this is something to look forward to, regardless of the outcome. Nii~paa. Shin out.
