Oh dear, Kyoshiro to Tora no Sora licensed by ADV

No good can come of this. Really. Is there some mecha show annual license quota that has to be filled? I hope they're not banking on support from KnM purchasers.

Utada Hikaru to sing in Evangelion movie

I don't think her cover of Fly Me to the Moon ever appeared in any of the ending sequences for the Evangelion series, which is what the entry implies. If it did, this is news.

It seems like Fly Me to the Moon is just there to capitalize on the connection Evangelion fans make with the song and series, especially if it's just a re-mix, which requires minimal to zero singing on her part. If she does the re-mixing herself, then power to her.

Freedom Project licensed?

Releasing one episode per volume doesn't seem fair.

Some current news for once!

I guess this means that Shinsen is going to drop this OVA. It appears as though the simultaneous release of DVD and HD-DVD is commanding quite the premium. I'd hope that there would be at least three episodes per volume, but maybe that's too much to ask for since the third episode was released less than a week ago.

Something from Makoto Shinkai would be deserving of a high-definition release before Freedom. Freedom's atmosphere feels dated, and a lot of the detail gets lost in the wash. Something like Byousoku 5 cm, on the other hand, never ceases to blow me away.
