Little Witch Academia 2 this October.
About fucking time this released.

I'd like to repeat the sentiment. They've been taking their sweet sweet time with an IP that's clearly made of gold.
I dunno, I could see it being hard to make more of without just sort of transforming it into generic Magical Girls Do Magical Things. Things that work really well in short bursts often don't translate to longer pulses or even further bursts very well, and vice versa.

Death Note the musical would go a long way to mainstreaming anime, just by the fact that musicals are by their nature a pretty middle class mainstream thing and seen as a respectable art. Just being able to say you like some franchise which was recently adapted to a broadway musical adds instant cred.

It seems super easily adaptable. I mean, it's called Death Note. :P

I know nothing about this (except that it's not actually the musical note) but wanted to make that joke anyway.

On the Death Note thing:
If they used the already-condensed movie version (which is superb) as a base, I could already see Death Note being transformed into an opera, so a musical version isn't so outlandish.

... huh. There's a robotech/macross shout-out in Tyrian 2000. SDF Main Gun is available as a special weapon type thing. I... didn't know that. Now I do. Neat.

Watched New Getter Robo. It was good fanservice, but kinda trailed off in the end since they didn't have the time to explore the themes of the Saga that they tried to incorporate. Also it became really clear they were running out of budget at that point. Nice to see the humanoid form of the Getter Saint Dragon though.

Just a little bit longer and we can have RWBY with English subs over the Japanese dub. The circle will be complete.

But will RWBY be anime then? Or will we need to wait for the english dubs over the japanes dubs? :p

The funny thing is, I was wondering...
Does subs not dubs actually apply here?

Watching Death Note right now, the dubs are awesome actually. In this case, at least.

Fun fact, for many years (well, up until last week actually) I thought Death Note was a romantic drama or something, because in all the times I read or heard about it, the only things ever mentioned or shown were that there was a magical diary (of doom, but hey, still a magical flipping diary) and a protagonist that looks exactly like every senpai ever.

As somebody who really doesn't get RWBY, this is pretty bizarre. As far as I can tell it's amateurish as all hell, so getting professional VAs for a big formal import is just kind of baffling.

I would like to see the subs of the dubs, however. That sounds like a beautiful cycle.

I'm rather surprised people care enough about RWBY to bother, honestly.
I found it dipping past south of mediocre when I tried watching it.
