Claymores are all well & good when they have their yoma abilties to help them - put them in a situation where all they have to work with are human guile and instinct, and are they really quite so useful? We're about to find out, as Clare must tackle a yoma that terrorising a place where Claymores really shouldn't tread...
Heh. Only went eight hours between posting this review, and realising I hadn't written an introduction for it. Oops. I have an excuse, but that's for another time - more important now are the continuing adventures of Allen and his new partner, samurai-type Japanese exorcist Kanda. While not exactly Mr Personality, Kanda has one thing Allen doesn't: experience, and that experience is about to come in very handy...New Licenses

Most companies used to keep their licensing announcements back for big event like Anime Expo (which is this weekend, in case you're keeping track), but not FUNimation, it seems. They've confirmed their license for mecha / science fiction series Heroic Age, which is loosely based on the Greek myth of the Twelve Labours of Hercules and looks at humanity's efforts to gain a foothold in space, which is dominated by the technically-advanced & tyrannical Silver Tribe. The series is slated for release at some point in 2009.Top Reviews

ADV have finally come into the open and commented on their current woes, even if only in a semi-official way. At their "Sneak Peek" panel at Anime Expo last night, ADV's Matt Greenfield confirmed that the company had parted ways with Japanese investor Sojitz, that a number of the company's titles were in limbo as a result, and that at this point no-one really knew what was going to happen next. The company is in negotiations for a number of new titles, but as yet has nothing to announce. They key point, though, is that they're not dead yet - running on idle while the Sojitz issue is resolved, but not out of the game.| GONZO Parent Company in Financial Trouble? |
|
The TSE decision is down to GDH currently owing more money (liabilities) than it has available in cash and properties (assets), and with the company currently running at a loss that may not be easy to fix. The immediate future of the company doesn't appear to be under threat, but they'll be hoping that their new batch of shows for the coming year can turn their fortunes around. |
GDH, the parent company of animation studio GONZO, has been declared technically insolvent by the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The company has been given until March 31st 2009 to get back to what the TSE considers a solvent state, or face delisting.Top Articles & Videos
