With the Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya film just over two months away, fans are on the prowl for any related news or announcements. Unfortunately, there's still no word on a full-length trailer. However, as a consolation prize, character design sketches have surfaced which show the SOS Brigade clad in winter gear. They can be viewed in the gallery below. The definite highlight here (for me, at least) is the return of Ryoko Asakura, my favorite character from the original series. Her stylish overcoat and scarf ensemble easily melts my heart, especially since her psychotic knife-wielding tendencies no longer threaten to stab it. Also of interest is Haruhi sporting long hair, and Mikuru dressed in a very moe miniskirt Santa costume. Even Kyon gets a costume change, bundled up in a heavy coat and scarf. However, Yuki and Itsuki are just as monotonous and boring as ever. Oh well... at least Yuki has her glasses again. I'm fairly impressed by these character designs. Hopefully, they are an indication that KyoAni is moving away from the K-On! art style that plagued the second season. Bring on the trailer, Kadokawa! [Via Cartoon Leap]

Oh right, Hunter x Hunter, Fairy Tail, Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece recaps are below. Take cover there as well! You might of heard that there is a new streaming site that has just launched out of Japan. It is being backed by some big names in the anime world like Aniplex, Sunrise, and Toei.
What could that exactly mean for you, you ask? Well, let me let Eri Maruyama (International Business Development) at DAISUKI answer that as well as many more burning questions that I had about the new service. When I watched Blood C in Summer of 2011, I thought it was a show that had a lot of promise. It started out with the distinct feeling that something wasn't right in an idyllic town that was being pressed upon by nightmarish b...
