Big Week for older anime

Maybe it's just me, but this week really seems to have been a big week for older anime and I'm not just talking about the Slayers News we've all be squealing over.

First of all, another old school fandom is getting a nice surprise. For those of you familiar wtih TRIGUN, it has been announced that a movie is being made for 2009 HERE

Also, big news for the D.N.Angel manga, the author is FINALLY going to UPDATE it. For those who don't know, the author, Yukiru Sugisaki (as an awesome storyteller as she is) has a habit of working on a couple of different manga series at the same time. Thus, her last update of the D.N.Angel was about...2005. Considering her last update was in the middle of a very plot changing arch, I always thought it was a bad time to take a break from it. So, I'm very glad she's finally updating it.

I also learned that the classic anime Fushigi Yuugi is getting a new video game. And guess what? It's a Dating Game
That's right the player actually gets to become their own Miaka. Now, I was never really into this anime, but I can picture the fangirls of this series being estatic about it.

Also, apparently those rumours about making a live action DragonBall Movie were true...I'm sorry, I have serious doubts about this moive. I just can't see this ending very well. @_@

Finally, while this isn't recent news, I did discover something I didn't know about. It seems back in 1995, Hayao Miyazaki made an AMV for a song "On Your Mark" as a request by a rock group. I kind of wish he made this into a movie, because it looks interesting.

So yeah, anime wise, it's been an interesting week for me.
