Just before Bakugan Battle Brawlers came to a close, it was announced that a new anime series involving the "Bakugan" toys has been green lit. Bakutech is an anime series derived from the manga of the same name. As you can see by the image, the character designs are quite different from Bakugan Battle Brawlers. No word if this series will make it to North America.

Licensing announcements since my last post are; NIS America announced their acquision of "Occult Academy" and prior to that "Daily Lives of High School Boys" a.k.a. Danshi Kokosei no Nichijo, Brave 10, and all four seasons of Natsume Yujin-Cho. Wow! NIS is known for their DVD releases that include some very atractive extras, however, the releases are not normally dubbed.

In addition, Funimation confirmed a DVD release of their recently streamed series, Haganai (Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai). They, also, license rescued ADV's former series, Pretear. Finally, Sentai continues their hot and heavy licensing with the acquisition of the 52 episode, 2010 anime series, Zettai Karen Children.

Last poll, the majority wanted the rest of Gundam UC released from Bandai!

First, I did a little shifting around of my affiliates. If you've been visiting this site for a while, you know that Zoids was one of my favorite anime. I've been contacted by Vega informing me of the return of Dark Zoids, one of the best Zoids fansites there was. Now it is back, and I was thrilled to add it to my affiliates. Go visit Vega! Also, I'm sorry, but due to the demographics of AnimeAdmirers, I cannot affiliate with any site that contains hentai.

Next: Monsuno is coming to Nicktoons! Yep! Monsuno is what you'd call a Western and Japanese collaboration project that's packed with adventure and excitement. We can look for the premiere in February, which isn't far away. I've added this series to the site and look forward to bringing you images and other information when it begins broadcasting.

Lastly...we have a few licenses to announce. Funimation has acquired the ecchi comedy series, High School DxD. We can expect a DVD and Blu-ray Disc release sometime in the 2nd or 3rd Qtr of this year. In the meantime, you can watch the simulcast version on Mondays. And Sentai has picked up 2 more since my last update; the horror anime, "Another" as well as, the series "Listen to me Girls! I'm your Father!" We can expect a release of both these series later this year.

New site additions for this update are as follows:

Monsuno section added! Only summary & Preview pics right now!
Summary/Pics of Medabots Season 3 episode 15.
