New Weib Series (10/9/01)

"According to the official "Weiss Kreuz" site at Marine Entertainment (http://www.marine-e.co.jp/weib/weib001.htm) a new TV series will be produced in the near future, to be entitled "WEISS - Saishuushou" (Final Chapter). Originally aired between April and September 1998 on TV-Tokyo, the first "Weiss Kreuz" series revolved around a group of 4 handsome boys running a flower shop by day but turning into dreaded merceneries by night. Inspired by a famous seiyuu group the "Weiss Kreuz" franchise has not only spawned a TV and OVA series but also novels, mangas and a vast amount of CD dramas. Media Blaster has announced their acquisition of the ´98 WK series, slated for a US release under the moniker "Night Hunters" this October."

Unconfirmed Bebop Movie / Metropolis Items (5/9/01)

"Call me an "unnamed source in LA," but I've just talked to someone from Columbia Pictures who said that not only would Metropolis be released to theatres on Nov 9, but that it should hit DVD here in Feb. Also, and this is tentative, he said they either have or are negotiating the rights for the Cowboy Bebop movie for video AND theatrical release in 2002!"

Patlabor 3 (5/9/01)

"Though it was announced years ago things finally seem to go ahead for "MOBILE POLICE PATLABOR 3". Scheduled for spring 2002, the movie will be based on one of the manga story arcs, "Haikibutsu 13-go jiken" ("The waste no.13 incident"). Thus, not killer robots will trouble our heros this time but genetically engineered monsters breaking out of their transport cages. A preview version is said to have been shown at the Imagica studio, but the movie itself still has to find a distributor to make it to the big screen. Originally filled by Mamoru Oshii the director job has been handed over to Fumihiko Takayama, best known for his works on mecha-oriented animes like "Orguss", "Gundam 0800: A War in the Pocket", "Macross Plus" and the "Bubblegum Crisis" OVA. The script will be delivered by Miki Tori. "
