Also, random thought, why do sword art online arc announcements get spoilered when we can lay the whole of monogatari out like this?

That's a good point, but I think that when we look at the Monogatari names, our reaction would usually be 'Wut?' because it makes no sense unless you know the actual translation (as for SAO, that's probably a different note but I'm not sure how to explain why). I'll probably add spoiler tags to them if anyone wants to.

Also to note, this is the order of the light novels and the names that each one is called, so I would say it's a half spoiler.

Kizumonogatari and Nekomonogatari Black are the only ones out of order in terms of story (both are set before Bakemonogatari).

And since I posted you added an extra season to your quote too !!

Yeah I figured I mention the latest one since that was announced a month ago. Probably won't get much notice for quite a while since only the title and season was announced.

With my current monogatari knowledge afaik only Kizu and Neko Black are out of sequence, being prequels to Bake.

This reminds me of Dark Horse and their Graphic Novels, sure it was cool each book had it's own name but it took them years to realise adding a volume number to the spine was a good idea so people knew what order they actually went in.

let wait and see what happens cause something tells me this is going to be a long one
 
Following on from the confirmation a while back that a new Macross series was in the works, the title has now been confirmed as "Macross Delta", and auditions are currently being held to find a singing voice for one of the key characters.

The World of Hideaki Anno is coming soon (24th-30th October), trailer below:

and The Japan Times ran an interview with Anno, at the end the interviewer asked about whether Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 started production..
I decide, strategically, to end the interview with a question about the fourth and final film in the new “Evangelion” series, a question the Tokyo festival PR representative has warned me Anno will not answer. Why not give it a shot?
“Any news on when ‘Evangelion 4′ will start production?” I ask.
“No comment,” Anno replies in English and the entire room, Anno included, erupts in laughter.

On an interesting note, Gurren Lagann Ultimate Edition is currently 'Temporarily out of stock' on Amazon UK. Looks like it's already sold out (or close to!).

The Simpsons's latest Treehouse of Horror episode just referenced Bleach (Marge), Dragon Ball (Santa's Little Helper), Naruto (Bart), One Piece (Homer), Pokemon (Maggie) & Shingeki no Kyojin [Attack on Titan] (Lisa) on their running gag:

I see MCM are doing their usual thing of trying to kill off the local cons here in Ireland by moving from April to an already saturated August, which puts it close to three other cons in Dublin. Arcadecon in mid July, Nomcon, the second largest anime con in the country in August, Dublin Comic Con, the largest fan run con in Ireland, the week after Nomcon and, Dublin International Comic Expo(D.I.C.E) in September
 
According to people on twitter who have already received their copies, The Time of Eve has typos and the image on the envelope for the postcards is pixelated.

According to Jeremy on Twitter, he just finished recording a Manga UK Podcast. Looks like we'll be getting the latest one sometime before MCM Comic Con London (most likely between tomorrow and Wednesday).

Still nothing on the Naruto Blood Prison Blu-ray fiasco? thought this would have been in the latest podcast at least...

I'm assuming that Jerome not being on the podcast is the reason that issue isn't addressed. I would imagine there's not much more that Jeremy can say, other than what he has already put out through Facebook/Twitter.

Wait, were you guys part of the KS for Time of Eve? And if so, is there any sort of ETA for people being able to buy it elsewhere? I sadly missed the KS and would seriously love to own it. I know all the backers get theirs first, but I'm just curious.

Is Andrew getting time of Eve and patema confused ?
Click to expand...

I think so, even I was getting confused for a bit, unless Andrew is helping out with the UK distribution? I spotted a twitter message about the copies clearing UK customs and getting ready to ship to EU/UK backers so someone in the UK is doing that.
 
Patema is already up on the shop so Andrew can't be talking about that.

If AL is handling UK Time of Eve shipments, that would explain why it's taking so blimmin' long. It might have been an idea to have left that task to a someone who isn't up to their neck in other matters.

Could be as late as "next week", ugh.

Should be today it goes out actually, preparing batch shipments now and actually what took so long was customs on that front - the fun packed little creatures they were!

Fantastic news, looking forward to receiving it - Oh I can imagine....

I have a slightly stupid hypothetical question for you Andrew.

If another company never picked up the streaming rights for a show when they licensed the TV series, hypothetically, could you go back and get them?

And, lets say it came bundled with the actual licence but they're not doing anything with them, just sitting on them, could you do anything about that?
