If you are one of the people who does not have time for sitting down in front of a computer to watch anime, but has all the time for games, good news. Koonami is considering launching an anime rental service on the [Japan] Playstation Network which would allow [Japan's] PSN users to rent episodes from different anime series. According to Konami’s press release, rentals will be available for 30 days to be played. When played, the time limit decreases to 72 hours before the rental period expires.
The rentals are downloaded to the PS3 system in which they could be viewed, or transferred to an authorized PSP system to be viewed while on the go. The anime sets that are announced contain episodes from Tokimeki Memorial OnlyLove, Quiz Magic Academy -Original Animation-, Skygirls, Saint October, Fairy Musketeers and Best Student Council. Each episode will go for about 300 yen which is about 3 US dollars. (200-300 yen dependent on series)
You have to wonder if Sony’s headquarters would have been located, if us Americans would have received access to this juicy content. An announcement if Konami / Sony will expand this service to European and American customers or include other publishers / content providers.

I’ve been informed that Animeted has been redirecting to a suspicious page recently – it seems that we weren’t the only ones.
The problem seems to be resolved now, but please let us know if some of you are still experiencing problems with the site.
Thanks,

It’s coming to the end of another season and some series have been licensed, some have been dropped, some have been worked on furiously by multiple groups… but who do you get if you’re still waiting on subs or looking to start watching one now? Are there better ones than what you’re currently watching? Here’s the rundown.

Urgh it’s a boiling summer – and anime is starting. I doubt it’ll be making me cooler but at least it should distract me for a while, hehe.
We’re kicking off Summer 2010 and so far, so good. Here are the pilot reviews for *long inhale* Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakamatachi, Amagami SS & Mitsudomoe!
Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakamatachi
The first of Summer 2010 I watched – I had no idea, what I was going to be watching but I almost had deja-vu when I instantly recognized the narrators voice and then later many other voices from other productions from the same studio – J.C.Staff.
J.C.Staff, from what I’ve seen from them, have never really excelled in terms of animation quality, and using the same voice actors from not so long ago is frustrating but not off putting – after all it’s the story that’s most important.
To start it gives off the cutesy action feeling of a slapstick-comedy but quickly changes till you get the feeling that this is exactly what it claims to be – a Romantic Comedy…. erm.. more like Comedy Romantic right now but it was quite funny and Ookami-san herself gives off a very “awesome” feeling as she kicks ass with those neko-gloves of hers – but when Akai Ringo gets involved it soon becomes apparent she may have a sweet/soft side the audience could fall for if it’s played on well enough.
It definitely has potential – if it doesn’t last too long. 7/10

So after Bandai sort of vanished from the field of view after their “canceled” Shigofumi and Sola releases (they since cleared up what happened with sola), they have (unsurprisingly) announced the licensing and release of the Second Season of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and now it’s available to pre-order from Amazon.com (USA) – the question is, will you pay for a season of anime that contains 8 episodes of practically the same thing? How much of a fan are you?

Meanwhile, Section23/Sentai Filmworks have also made pre-orders available for Shigofumi: Complete Collection (Amazon.com), previously licensed (and never released) by Bandai. Which is especially nice to see as it’s a favorite of mine and I’m sure it captured the hearts of many more fans too.
Happy Days!
