I don't know much about that type of transactions in Japan but isn't 1 yen per share really cheap? Is AIC in some kind of trouble resulting in such poor price or is Aplix so desperate they need 70 bucks? ^^

Perhaps their 'corporate' minds deem AIC not worth investing anymore.

Personally, I don't know. AIC still has the Persona 3 movies to make more money.

that Isshuukan Friends friends series interests me, it looks really cute and also kind of sad since the girl has amnesia, reminds me a bit of chihiro's story in EF but looks more upbeat, i think ill be adding that to my ptw

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

For Date a Live II, there was also an announcement much earlier than that for the seiyuus of two other characters. I think they should be mentioned as well.

Isaac Ray Pelham Westcott: Okiayu Ryotaro
Ellen Mira Mathers: Itou Shizuka

Also, Seikoku no Dragonar will be airing on Spring. I dunno if this is a credible source though.

    Yeah you can find a post about it here. Like I added to the end of the link it was preview to show what the titans in the live-action movie will look like.

    I got anticipated when Asumi Kana was announced as Ene's seiyuu in Mekaku City Actors since I am a big fan of Asumi Kana. *rubs hand excitedly* This is getting interesting.

    I dunno if this is related or not (but I hope this is a yes), but I got the news that Asumi Kana stars as Female Protagonist in the upcoming Persona 3: The Weird Masquerade stage play.

    You know an anime is successful when it stars in a car commercial.

    Still enough for /pc/ to call it the worst Precure season yet

    Speaking of HapCha, I just came to the realisation that Tomatsu Haruka's character won't gain her Precure powers until half way through the show. Although considering half of Doki was enough for me to be turned right off of Ace I suppose she'll have a good amount of presence.

    I'm sure we'll get one after the last CM. By announcing each seiyuu one by one they are building continuos hype. Showing PV now would kinda ruin the surprise.

    If they are going in order of the songs then Kido's(Blindfold code) seiyuu announcement should be next. I predict it will either be Miyuki Sawashiro or someone with a similar voice.

    not really. in the article I read back at ANN, the movie staff stated that this commercial doesn't mean that the titans will look like that in the movie; it's still pretty early and this was just used as a very welcomed experience :x

    Which percentage of the total shares do the 8000 shares (previously) owned by Aplix equal to?
    That piece of news might be not worth a damn depending on the answer.

    I like that your compiling this smaller news into one thread. Gets rid of a lot of clutter and I don't have to keep clicking on threads.

    Anyway Issuukan Friends is adorable, not exactly the best thing ever, but I've enjoyed reading it. I wonder if this means an adaptation of koe no katachi is possible someday. It deals with a similar premise, but much better fleshed out IMO.

    Only other thing I care about is Tokyo ESP since its by the creator of Gai-Rei Zero. I read the manga for abit, wasn't very impressed. Hopefully the anime turns out okay though.
