With Ep0 of the 3rd (And final) OVA series out today (R2 DVD in Japan), and the manga over (still thinking what a lame ass ending that was!!!) wasn't expecting to find (6) new plush out (not UFO catcher either (and last set of those was 1 (2?) years ago now), but "retail" ones). 18cm high. 1890Yen each.

( Guys in sitting pose in their school uniforms and whoah, a Shishido one!! )


Crap load of CDs still just out or coming out in next few months too.

ALSO, for 9000+ Yen (~6900 if order now though), the 100 Song Marathon special event DVD (2 discs, 170minutes) is coming out June 25... sigh, to buy or not to buy....

Maybe not a full chapter - can't say - but SOMETHING POT is in issue 14 which goes on sale March 3 (in Japan) there's one full colour page at least. If go to Shounen Jump and click in the box below the image of Vol13 a new little window opens and says 3 colour sections: Neuro, HXH and Ryoma....

Edit: Mar 3: OK, so it was 379 in Vol14. Tenpuri comm had the chapter posted LAST week (impossible) so figured it that was 379 so 380 in SJ14... meh... still sucks!

7:30am checking a couple auctions if had won... wander to LJ, click friends page ... ok, expectation of it coming but still...

OVER?!! O ________ O
Tenipuri comm jump to... seems it was rather sudden... another crappy (not remotely what hoped for) manga ending (although I have a good chunk to catch up with)... *sigh*

Well ANIPURI isn't done yet ^^;

Happy Birthday Fuji!

Edit: Hmm... so is that why Feb 28 was picked for the re-release of all those CDs?? Cushion the blow for POT fans?

Tried asking other week and no one answered... sure there's 3-4 people onflist more up to date with POT than me...

on tenipuri comm back in Sept:
"... forums, and according to one of the posters, the Prince of Tennis manga will end on November 26th. I saw the same information posted to weeklyjump , so... true. Even though it's pretty obvious that the manga is coming to an end, cutting it on November 26th means that there are only..., I don't see any possibility of the manga coming to a satisfying, non-rushed conclusion. I ..."

Obviously BS since I still see new files being posted...

Wiki

"Though publication was scheduled to end in late November in issue 52 of Weekly Shonen Jump,[1] it was later confirmed that the series would not cease publication and will continue being published in the magazine."

Soooo... no definite planned ending yet right????????????????????????

Just read this on Anime News Network page:

"The February issue (released on January 9) of Fujimi Shobo's Comic Dragon AGE magazine has announced that Yuna Kagesaki's Karin manga will also end in the next issue. The 12th compiled volume was published in Japan last August. Tokyopop publishes the supernatural comedy manga under the title Chibi Vampire in North America, and has scheduled the seventh volume for February. "

So I guess Volume 13 will be the last Japanese release. ; ____ ;
Seemed like plenty of story left to tell from Volume 12 !!


So Inu Yasha winding down apparently... And Golden Days only has one more volume dammit and is Prince of Tennis still kaput soon too (or is it still in the realm of rumour instead of concrete fact)???

Well, I really didn't think Prince of Tennis would be over at Vol7 but didn't think the it would continue on so soon either... stumbled across the news at animenation this afternoon...

YES 2nd OVA SERIES ANNOUNCED YESTERDAY, 1st volume out in June which of course means the merchandise machine will keep grinding away...

... and dang, that seiyuu character page of mine will just keep growing, already 3 volumes behind.

No info on how long the 2nd series will be ... title is "National Championship Semi Final"
(so know that means there will be a 3rd OVA series)

~~~
Damn, more new series starting in April listed at Moon Phase I'll have to go through... sigh
