Two of the main heroines wear such revealing, stripperific outfit in the middle of battle . . So Madan is going to be action fanservice eh? Kind of shame since the show's got one of the more interesting premise of the fall season.

Only the vanadis don't need to wear armor, Lim the blond wears near full plate in battle.

Another two Pokémon manga has been serialized. I wonder when will Pokémon end.

Never. But it would be cool to end Ash story, that has been dragged on forever. Ash is also a pedo as well, having adventures with 12 year old girls.

Not sure what you mean here. The main Pokémon manga is Pokémon Special, where the main characters depends on the arc. The character known as Ash does not even exist.

There are several Pokemon manga that come from the movies (those that include "Gekijouban" in the title because of that), yet those last about 1 or 2 volumes. Those are the only mangas nowadays that might include Ash as a character.

The remaining (apart from Pokemon Special) usually are just spin-offs, such as the Pokémon Ranger or Pokémon Try.

This will likely happen in the future.

Aw man, I am just sad to hear AnimeNation shutting down :/
I don't frequent the site, but 20 years, man.....

Danna ga nani - bleh..(what a mouthful title). The manga looks like something drawn by early grade schooler and it gave me headache. But having full cast of married couples once in a long time wouldn't hurt.

Thanks Snow-san! :)

I need that Love Stage OVA *~*

Sep 15, 2014 8:09 PM by Kenchiin

Can't wait for Love Stage!! OVA.

Attack on Titan with Levi looks sooo epic! *o* So definitely going to watch it!! <3

Sep 15, 2014 7:05 PM by Liaeves

Darn. I really wanted to see Cencoroll 2 this season...

Sep 15, 2014 5:09 PM by einonymous

Really cool news about Magic Kaito. 8)

Sep 15, 2014 2:13 PM by BluaPapilio

How nice it would be if the Girlfriend series that got an anime adaption is the yuri one instead of this one..

And hopefully Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji wouldn't get too much hate because of.. well you know if you read the manga..

Can't wait for World Trigger, the shounen series that survived Jump in it's early phase. I haven't read it yet, gonna wait for the anime. Hopefully it's worth more than the good ones that got axed.

Also, whilst I am not exactly the biggest fan of Mashima, I have to admire the fact that he manages to draw so much chapters in a short time span.

+1, guy works so hard.

Well at least we got some info about Cencoroll 2 to let us know it's still alive.

Man that sakuga in the SNK: Levi spinoff ova looks really good.

Lol just glancing over for World Trigger I saw "Hiroyuki" next to "Music" and was about to jump out of my chair in excitement but that went away when I read it all. Is Hiroyuki Sawano doing anything in fall besides the Levi spinoff and that Wii game?

Can't help but to wonder should I watch Girlfriend (Kari) because of the huge female casts with known seiyuus.

Okay. Thanks.

Mm, I think I saw the PV for Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken over the weekends but it looks a bit silly. Given that time slot, it'll probably be a short.

Still no PV for Girlfriend Kari yet. The World Trigger CM wasn't very impressive imo but I guess it should of been expected.

On another note, it'll be interesting to read three more chapters of Magic Kaito soon.
