Hot off the presses! Newtype’s August issue announced that a second season of Haruhi is going to be made. The official announcement will be made this July 7th on Haruhi’s official website. July 7th, huh? Better look into that date. Isn’t something special happening the 7th? ;-) Some scans from Newtype’s august issue after the jump.

Byousoku 5 Centimeter coming to theaters!

Thursday, June 21st, 2007

5cm per second (from ANN)Current song: “La Cumbia De Los Aburridos” by Calle 13

ADV Films (one of the couple “big” US anime licensing companies) has been announcing a couple of licenses that I am very interested in seeing how they will sell. This one is no different. Byousoku Go Centimeter ~a chain of short stories about their distance~ (AKA 5 Centimers per second) is Makoto Shinkai’s (director of Hoshi no Koe/Voices of a Distant Star and The Place Promised in Our Early Days) latest movie and ADV plans on releasing it to theaters sometime before releasing the DVD on December of this year. If the movie is going to be shown in any theater close to me, I’m definitely going to see it, just to show my support.

According to ANN, ICv2 updated their article saying that the original news source is not them, but is in fact the current issue of Anime Insider, which has five pages of coverage of the movie and its director Shinkai-sensei.
