The most interesting news in this week's brief is probably the staff of Kekkai Sensen. Not only does it confirm that it will be one of three Bone's adaptation from a source material (I'm guessing Noragami S2 will be the other next year and there will be one other), we also have Rie Matsumoto directing the series, the same guy that did Kyousou Giga last year.

The manga imo is a bit average but I think the anime could work out quite well if done right.

Good to know that Kamisama Kiss S2 is going to be a Winter show. I wonder if Gangsta will be the next one to be added seeing we've been getting staff announcements here and there over the past few months. No doubt we will get more info on Sidonia S2 later this month too.

Not sure what I think about Etotama yet. Need more info on that...

Also, I wonder if KnB S3 will be a 2 cour. I think chances are likely. Still waiting for that PV.

Like, the foundation of knowledge you'd need to impart to this person before you could even begin to drag them out of their sinkhole of ignorance would cost thousands of dollars, if it were coming from a University?" -MAL in a nutshell.

Etotama, never heard of it, should turn out to be at least decent.

Well, here's the PV/Promo sample of Etotama:

I think there's a slight mistake about the article though. I think NicoNico will be streaming info about the cast and characters with guests rather than the actual episode unless I'm reading it wrong.

Etotama is extremely adorable and possibly one of the most adorable shounen out there.

Especially since he is one of the more well-known VA's.

Sad. I wonder what happened.

It's nice to see that Hanae is continuing to do the theme songs for Kamisama Kiss. I really think her voice suits the show.

Congratulations to Eri Sendai and get well soon, Inoue.

Kamisama Hajimemashita in winter is the best news I've heard all week! And if Kekkai Sensen didn't sound interesting back when it was announced, it sure does now.

But more importantly, oh man, what happened? :/ Hope Inoue gets better. All the best to him.

Yeah I saw this news the other day :(

Haven't been reading Komomo Confiserie recently, but I thought it wasn't as a good as Seiyuu ka or Speical A. Hopefully her next work will be better.
