Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? Light Novels Have Anime Planned
posted on 2010-05-17 11:45 EDTShinichi Kimura's story of boy resurrected as a zombie by necromancer girl
Fujimi Shobo's website and Twitter account for Shinichi Kimura's Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? light novel series have announced that an anime adaptation of the series is in the works. The website indicates that the creator of the series will appear on the tentatively titled "Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? Hai, Kimura Shinichi One Heart With You" web radio program to make the announcement and provide more details on Thursday.
The story centers around a lazy high school boy named Ayumu Aikawa who gets killed during a spate of mysterious serial killings. However, Ayumu is resurrected as a zombie by a necromancer girl named "Yū" (Eucliwood Hellscythe), who Ayumu had just met before dying. Ayumu reawakens in a world surrounded by "masō shōjo" (magically equipped girls) and vampire ninja. Ayumu is assigned the duties of a masō shōjo by a magical warrior girl named Haruna.
Kimura published the first Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? light novel volume last year, and the fifth volume is shipping this month. Sacchi has been drawing a manga adaptation in Fujimi Shobo's Dragon Age magazine since January, and a drama CD shipped in December.

Bad Boys Motorcycle Gang Manga Gets Live-Action Film
posted on 2010-05-17 03:00 EDTHiroshi Tanaka's story about delinquents already inspired 5-part video anime
A live-action film adaptation of Hiroshi Tanaka's Bad Boys motorcycle gang manga has been green-lit for release in Japan at the beginning of next year. Takashi Kubota, the director of the film Yesterdays and Mr. Children's "Hibiki" music video, will begin shooting the Bad Boys film on location in Hiroshima in the middle of next month. (When the film is completed, Hiroshima will get advance screenings next January, before the rest of the country.)
The story follows Tsukasa, a naive son who rebels against his rich parents by joining a motorcycle gang called the Paradise Butterflies. Tsukasa and his friends (Yōji, Hisao, and Eiji) try to be the most powerful gang on the streets of Hiroshima.
The original manga ran in Shonen Gahosha's Young King magazine from 1988 to 1996, and 40 million copies of its 22 compiled book volumes have been published. A sequel manga, Bad Boys Glare, also ran in the same magazine from 1996 to 2003. Toei Animation and directors Osamu Sekita (Cross Game, Ichigo 100%) and Takeshi Yamaguchi (Happy Lesson, Slayers Next) adapted the manga into a five-part original video anime series from 1993 to 1998.
The main cast of the film will be announced on the official website . The website is already recruiting supporting cast members (gang members, police officers, children, okonomiyaki shop workers, and gang members' mothers) and extras.

The Japanese anime studio Shinei Animation has announced on Monday that it has begun streaming original net anime titles for free as part of its Shinei Puchi Ani Gekijō (Shinei Petit Anime Theater) on its YouTube channel. Shinei is best known for producing the animation for the Doraemon and Crayon Shin-chan television anime series. The first two net anime series of shorts are Nanchatte and Potakko Babies (Potekko Beibiizu).
In Nanchatte! (pictured at top right), Tetsuo Yasumi (ATASHIn'CHI, Gokyoudai Monogatari, Zenmai Zamurai) directs a satire gag story about politics for adults. Potekko Babies (pictured at left) received recognition in Shinei's 1st in-house character contest, and that resulted the studio greenlighting an anime version. Animator Shinichi Kuniyasu (The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Naruto the Movie: Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom, Doraemon: Nobita no Kyoryu [2006]) directs this project about potato characters.
The Japanese video website GyaO! will also start streaming the net anime shorts in late May.

Magic Spells
provided by: http://www.animeyume.com/slayers/magicspells.html
Magic Spells
This section covers the most common and most powerful spells in Slayers. There's descriptions as well as pictures.Attack Spells
Fire Ball
Fire Ball is one of the most common spells. A fiery ball forms in the user's hands that he or she can throw at will. Though not a very powerful attack, it's quick and easy to perform.
Dynast Bras
Dynast Bras is a powerful and icy shamanistic spell.
Elmekia Lance
Elmekia Lance is a pretty powerful and effective white magic attack. It shoots out strong blades of magic light from the user's hands.
Gaav Flare
Gaav Flare is a fiery dark magic attack. Similar to Fire Ball except that it's stronger.
Flare Arrow
Flare Arrow lets the user shoot off arrows made of fire.
Rah Tilt
Incantation: "Source of all souls which dwells in the eternal and the infinite. Everlasting flame of blue. All power hidden deep within, be called forth here and now: Rah Tilt!"
Rah Tilt is an extremely powerful attack, especially against a monster. It's an attack from the astral plane(where most monsters exist), so it can't harm a human but it's devastating to a monster.
Other Common Spells
Amplification
Incantation: "Lord of darkness of the four worlds, grant me all the power that you posses."
Amplification spells can be used to increase the power of the user's next attack. However, it requires magical talismans to perform(Notice Lina's cool glowing talismans in the pic above ^_^)
Healing
Healing spells can be used to heal anything, from tiny wounds and fatigue, to serious injuries, depending on the strength of the spell. Recovery(used for minor conditions) and Resurrection(used for major conditions) are two types of healing spells.
Lighting
Lighting creates a bright sphere of light in the user's hand that can illuminate dark areas. A strong lighting can also be used to temporarily blind enemies.
Flying
Two of the most common spells used for flying are Levitation and Ray Wing. They allow the user to fly fast and high.
The Most Powerful Spells
Dragon Slave
Incantation: "Darkness beyond twilight. Crimson beyond blood that flows. Buried in the stream of time is where your power grows. In thy great name, I pledge myself to conquer, all the foes who stand, before the mighty gift bestowed in my unworthy hands. Let the fools who stand before me be destroyed, by the power you and I posses: Dragon Slave!"
The Dragon Slave is one of the strongest spells. It's a dark magic attack that draws power from Shabranigdo himself. It's strong enough to blow up an entire city. Only a few skilled magic users can master it.
Ragna Blade
Incantation: "Lord of the dreams that terrify. Sword of cold and darkness, free yourself from the heaven's bonds. Become one with my power, one with my body, and let us walk the path of destruction together. Power that can smash even the souls of the gods: Ragna Blade!"
A dark magic spell so strong, that its only record comes from the rare Clair Bible manuscripts. Since very few have actually read these manuscripts, not many monsters nor humans have even heard of this spell. It draws power from the mighty Lord of Nightmares, and concentrates that power into a huge sword of dark energy. It takes a large amount of willpower to control the blade.
Giga Slave
Incantation: "Darkness beyond blackest pitch. Deeper than the deepest night. King of darkness, who shines like gold upon the sea of chaos. I call upon thee, and swear myself to thee. Let the fools who stand before me be destroyed by the power you and I posses: Giga Slave!"
The Giga Slave is, without a doubt, the most devastating spell of all. It doesn't draw power from the Lord of Nightmares, it calls forth power from her! The Giga Slave is the Lord of Nightmares herself! If the one using the Giga Slave were to lose control of it, or make even one little mistake in casting it, it could create a dark power that could consume the entire world, and reduce all existence into a chaotic void of oblivion! Lina is the only one who's capable of using this spell. Though she was able to use it to kill Shabranigdo, she didn't have the same luck with Phibrizzo. The Giga Slave did destroy him, but the Lord of Nightmares succeeded in consuming Lina's body and soul! Only because of Gourry's strong determination to bring Lina back, did the golden lord decide to return her...what a lucky fluke for them! ^^,,, Even though the Giga Slave could kill anything, it's way too risky to use!
