13.37

The Otomate Party 2012 event announced on Sunday that a television anime adaptation of Amnesia, a romance adventure game for female players, has been green-lit. In addition, there will be a new Amnesia game next year.

The game begins on the morning of August 1, when the protagonist wakes up and discovers she has absolutely no memories of the past. A boy appears before her, and he introduces himself as a "spirit" named Orion. The protagonist struggles to regain her memories under the guidance of Orion. She then gets a phone call, but she does not recognize the name on her mobile phone screen. She meets her apparent "boyfriend," despite not knowing his face.

Idea Factory released the original game on the PSP system in 2011.

Characters

	Itsuki Noya VA: Mariya Ise Itsuki is a small, cute girl who transferred to Ebisugawa Public High School. She's a shy girl, and after mistaking Tenmonbu for the Astronomy Club, the poor girl ends up getting toyed with by Kyoko and the others.
	Kyoko Todayama VA: Kana Asumi Kyoko is the troublemaker of Tenmonbu. She's a girl of action who immediately acts when she finds something interesting. Her hobbies include harassing Kanamori. She loves kompeito (a type of small sugar candy) and incense.
	Elizabeth Margaret VA: Iori Nomizu A mysterious maid who suddenly appeared in Tenmonbu. She pressures Kyoko and the others with her oppressive attitude unbefitting a maid, but they get back at her too. She appears to have come to Tenmonbu in search of someone…
	Hakata Kanamori VA: Asuka Nishi Hakata is a fujoshi who loves BL and cosplay. She typically buys doujinshi in sets of three: one for viewing, one for preservation, and one for converting others. She has a habit of organizing everything as “seme” or “uke”. With as often as Kyoko tries to strip her, she's in charge of sex appeal.
	Rikei Hiromatsu VA: Risako Murai Rikei is a quiet and well behaved girl. She's the one in the club with the most common sense, and hates idiots. She's in charge of calling the others' jokes. However, she also has a big cat-fetish, and loses sight of everything else when cats are involved. Her hobbies include fortune telling by cards.
	Hasumi Oba VA: Satomi Satou Hasumi is vice president of Tenmonbu. She looks like a graceful beauty, but she's actually quite the fighter, and her special move is the Iron Claw. Kyoko can't win against her. She's the type who will often run with a joke. She's also the barrier preventing Student Council President Iseda's attempts to disband their club.
	Yuka Iseda VA: Midori Tsukimiya Yuka is president of Ebisugawa Public High School's student council. Apparently she was once the president of Tenmonbu, but she left them for some reason. She views Tenmonbu as an enemy and does what she can to try and disband them. However, she's also a tsundere yuri girl who loves Oba. According to Oba, her letter of resignation was never accepted.

Initial D Car-Racing Manga Gets New Anime Series

12.06

This year's 35th issue of Kodansha's Young Magazine is announcing on Monday that a new anime series adaptation of Shuuichi Shigeno's Initial D car-racing manga has been green-lit. The format of the new anime series — be it a television anime, original video anime, or another format — and other details have not been revealed. More details will be provided in the combined 36th/37th issue of the magazine on August 6.

The story follows Takumi Fujiwara, a high school boy with a natural talent for driving, in his racing pursuits on the public highways. The manga debuted in 1995, and Kodansha published the 45th book volume last month. The manga already inspired several television anime series, a live-action film, several original video anime projects, and a successful game line.

Tokyopop published the manga and released part of the anime before ceasing its North American publishing operations. Funimation also licensed and released some of the earlier anime.

Little Busters Anime Key Art, Kud Wafter PSP Port Revealed

16.59

The September issue of ASCII Media Works' Dengeki G's Magazine is revealing the first piece of key visual art and character designs from the anime adaptation of Key's Little Busters! visual novel on Monday. The magazine also revealed that the studio Prototype is porting the spinoff visual novel Kud Wafter to the PSP system under the working title Kud Wafter: Converted Edition. The port will have additional elements such as new original events and visual art. The release date and price have not been revealed.

The magazine also does not list a finalized release date for the television anime, despite voice actress Tomoe Tamiyasu briefly reposting her guest profile from Anime Expo with a Fall date.

The animation studio J.C. Staff is producing the upcoming anime with director Yoshiki Yamakawa (Baby, Please Kill Me!, Hatsukoi Limited), head scriptwriter Michiru Shimada (Jewelpet Twinkle, Shugo Chara!), and character designer Haruko Iizuka (Inu X Boku Secret Service, Ōkami-san & Her Seven Companions).

The 'Hentai' Prince and the Stony Cat Light Novels Get Anime

16.58

The official Twitter account for the MF Bunko J imprint's 10th Anniversary Summer School Festival confirmed on Sunday that an anime adaptation of Sou Sagara's The "Hentai" Prince and the Stony Cat (Hentai Ōji to Warawanai Neko) light novel series has been green-lit. The announcement was originally made at the grand finale of the festival on the same day.
The story centers around a second-year high school boy named Yōto Yokodera. Yōto is always thinking about his "carnal desires," but no one acknowledges him as a pervert. He learns about a cat statue that supposedly grants wishes. The boy goes to pray that he will be able to express his lustful thoughts whenever and wherever he wants. At the statue, Yōto encounters Tsukiko Tsutsukakushi, a girl from his high school with her own wish — that she would not display her "real intentions" so readily.
Sagara launched the light novel series last year with illustrations by Kantoku, and Media Factory will publish the sixth volume next month. Okomeken provides art for the manga adaptation that launched in Media Factory's Monthly Comic Alive magazine last year, and the manga has two volumes of its own so far. Digital Manga licensed the manga for North American release starting this October.
