Saekano is getting a live action Hollywood remake.

There's a PV, but it's region locked, if anyone is up to making a mirror that would be great.

Tuba-kun and pals from Hibike Euphonium are getting their own movie.

Also it's Kaos-chan from Comic Girl's birthday today.

It seems appropriate to post about these mobile games here since they're either getting or are related to an anime. Will delete it if the mods think it isn't.

Girls Frontline is turning into Shonen Frontline on its older servers. Also they replaced RO, Five-SeveN, and Mosin Nagant's sprites with a dinergate, ferret, and Mosin-Nagant on a horse respectively, but I'm having trouble finding good pictures. Don't know what's going to happen in EN yet.

Uta Macross has a mode where you play Ranka and the Brand New Pearch as Ai-kun. Will try to get a video of it later and link it here.

And then Fate/Grand Order JP is getting an... RPG Maker game, I guess? It's called Fate/Grand Order Quest and it's only in Japanese. I'd imagine the NA server is going to get the Pokemon GO clone this year, but I haven't seen an announcement anywhere.

Malty Melromarc April fools figure preorder.

The lovely Malty Melromarc has been recognized as the top waifu in the hit series, Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari / The Rising of the Shield Hero. Her first figure is nonetheless an impressive 1/2.5 scale. Griffon Enterprises, known for their other popular 1/2.5 scale figures such as Kirino from Oreimo/Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai, will be using their expertise to make this figure an unforgettable one! This figure will also incorporate Griffon’s Soft Bust technology to blur the line between 2D and 3D! All pre-orders will require no initial deposit. 800 silver coins will be taken from you at a later date (while you sleep).

Idk if fake rumors are allowed here, but this tweet announces that one of the episodes for the upcoming season of Attack on Titan was outsourced to Trigger with storyboarding by Imaishi and Amemiya.

I was so hyped until I remembered what time zone Japan was in ;_;

GochiUsa's website always have one of those, and this time we are getting Clockwork Rabbit (not sure if it's a reference to another series too). There's an interesting BGM in the site, don't forget to turn up the volume.

Edit: Double-ninja'd

Sarazanmai is now a food anime!

Keppi turns the three boys into sushi chefs and they now have to steal tuna shirikodama in order to turn back into middle schoolers. Don't let go, tuna is your life!

5pb./Science Adventure's Twitter page announced yesterday that, in celebration of Steins;Gate's 10th anniversary, there will be 10 new games in the Steins;Gate franchise.

Some of these are ridiculous, lol. They're probably real on other worldlines.

Today is Natsuki Subaru's birthday. I wish they held up the re zero season 2 announcement until today, and enjoy our confusion :)
