The television channel Animax has announced that it will premiere the 26-episode Inuyasha: The Final Act anime series across Asia on October 10 — one week after the Japanese premiere on October 3. Southeast Asia, the Philippines, and South Asia will premiere the anime on that day at 8:00 p.m., while WIB will start the anime at 7:00 p.m. Hong Kong will run the series at 7:30 p.m., and Taiwan will debut it at 11:30 p.m.

Inuyasha: The Final Act continues beyond where the first anime series ended and adapts the story from the final 21 compiled book volumes of Rumiko Takahashi's original manga. (Takahashi had ended the manga in the Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine in June of 2008.) The original staff and cast will reunite for the new anime adaptation, and the musical acts Do as Infinity and AAA will perform the "Kimi ga Inai Mirai" ("A Future Without You") opening theme song and the "With You" ending theme song, respectively. The North American distributor Viz Media announced at Comic-Con International in July that it acquired the rights to Inuyasha: The Final Act.

Anime Movie Rebirth of Buddha to Hit Theaters in October

Here's one anime that I would not like to see because it's totally fiction but pretty interesting. Honestly I just wan to watch it because of its animation. Happy Science.

 

This poster is similar to Independence Day without the White House.

The controversial religious organization Happy Science (Kōfuku no Kagaku) is sponsoring the October 17 release of the anime film adaptation of The Rebirth of Buddha (Buddha Saitan) book by its founder, Ryuho Okawa. The film illustrates Happy Science's belief that the religious figure Buddha will return "when the world sinks into darkness." Takaaki Ishiyama (Sakura Wars, MapleStory, Chaos;HEAd) is directing the project at Group TAC. Ami Koshimizu leads a cast that also includes Hiroyuki Yoshino, Takehito Koyasu, Kotono Mitsuishi, and Ryoko Shiraishi.

Happy Science had previously sponsored three movies (The Laws of the Sun, The Golden Laws, The Laws of Eternity) based on the writings of its founder, as well as Hermes - Winds of Love and a film about Nostradamus. The group fielded 17 candidates for Japan's legislature earlier this year — including Kindaichi Case Files manga artist Fumiya Sato in the home district of the current prime minister and self-professed manga fan, Tarō Asō.

It's trailer is sooo... so.

Their official website is cool: http://www.buddha-saitan.jp/. It gives an environment that anytime soon we'll be attacked by aliens and the Matrix is breached.

Ikuta Toma to Star in "Motel"

Finally Toma Ikuta will come up to the big screen! XD

Yukio Okada's Motel Manga Gets Seaside Motel Film

Wed, September 9, 2009

A live-action Seaside Motel film adaptation of Yukio Okada's Motel manga has been green-lit with lead actor Toma Ikuta (Hanazakari no Kimitachi e: Ikemen Paradise, Akihabara @ DEEP) from the Johnny's Jr. idol talent firm. As the film's title implies, the story is set in a motel called Seaside. Brought together by chance, a number of young men and women check into the motel and cross paths. Ikuta will play Kameda, a salesman peddling a fake cosmetic cream. Kumiko Asou (Casshern, Yunagi City, Sakura Country, Ring Ø: Birthday) will co-star as Candy, a call girl in her 20s, with whom Kameda falls in love.

Okada serialized the manga in Nihonbungeisha's Bessatsu Manga Goraku magazine, and it was compiled into one book volume last year. Kentarō Moriya is directing his first feature film after his debut outing in the school comedy School Daze (no relation to Spike Lee's film of the same name). Filming on Seaside Motel began in Guam on August 30, and the film will open in Japan next year.

Toma Ikuta, Kumiko Aso star in "Seaside Motel"

Thu, September 10, 2009 (2:28am EDT)

Yukio Okada's manga "MOTEL" is being turned into a live-action film, starring popular young actor Toma Ikuta (24). This is Ikuta's second movie role, after the Osamu Dazai adaptation "Ningen Shikkaku" ("No Longer Human") which is scheduled for release next year...

The manga is full of distinctive characters, but none of the film's supporting cast have been announced, other than stage actors Masaaki Akahori and Seiji Nozoe, playing a pair of cops.

"Seaside Hotel" is being directed by Kentaro Moriya, whose only other feature-length film is the 2005 picture "School Daze." ...

Toma is such a great actor. I'm just frustrated why it took time for them to put him on the big screen.
