Anime Yagami Yuu Trailer

[John]

Galge (http://www.galge.com/galge/nomember/sbp/topics/06/11/17c/index.html) now hosts an official WMV trailer (ftp://download.galge.com/topics/0611_yagami/yagamiPV001.zip) for the latest Yakin Byouto spin-off story, Anime Yagami Yuu (think I translated the name correctly). This trailer is the "Lolita foot fetish" version trailer. Episode is scheduled for Japanese release on December 21st.

Links are for adults only, please.

Altough I like Teruaki Murakami's style, the last one (Kazama Mana) was not what I expected; I can deal with scat, but it lacked something.

That doesn't mean I won't be checking this one :P .

EDIT: I don't know about the kanji, but I think the "Anime" part in the name is just a generic designation at galge (and other places) for an animation (so they can tell it apart from games and such).

I know that it seems odd, but "Anime" is actually a part of the episode title. It's on the actual DVD covers.

Damn, you are right. (I looked at the covers closely). Funny.

Thanks for the hentai related updates John.

So this is the third one. First being Nanase Ren, and second one being Kazama Mana. Is there any chance that something from this is going to be licenced?

So this is the third one. First being Nanase Ren, and second one being Kazama Mana. Is there any chance that something from this is going to be licenced?None of the North American anime companies has licensed anything from Soft On Demand (the production company)—yet. However, most of the hentai that I know of (at least, from the last five years or so) is licensed or being fought over, so it seems likely, if one of the North American companies can cut a deal.

Here are the Japanese production companies I can think of or find:

• Amour: Nothing licensed yet (new studio).

• Animac: Kitty Media just licensed the last available title (The Guts!, now known as Women at Work); JapanAnime has the rest.

• blue eyes: Catalog was licensed to NuTech, and now to Adult Source Media/Hot Storm (ASM) as part of the deal with Ken Media (the AnimErotica line).

• CherryLips: To Kitty.

• D3 (labels: Dream, White Bear): Ninja to ASM, Discipline to Amorz, Midnight Strike Force to Central Park Media/Anime 18 (A18), but the other titles are open.

• Daiei: To Anime 18. (Daiei was responsible for adapting most of Toshio Maeda's works, before going out of business.)

• Digital Works/Vanilla Series: The first big battleground; Critical Mass Video (CMV), with some titles to Kitty Media, and Anime 18 (who no longer seems to be licensing hentai). Only the newest titles, and Shownoid Makoto-chan (one of their oldest) remain unreleased.

• Discovery: Kitty Media just licensed four of the most recent releases, and already holds a couple others; Anime 18 has the rest, with the exception of the later parts of Night Shift Nurses (at least, they have not released episodes 5.5, 10.5, and the "Kranke" episodes), Yakin Byouto 3 (the third Night Shift Nurses series) and a couple of non-hentai titles.

• Five Ways: Most of the catalog was Nutech's with a few to J-BoxAnime and some to Kitty, but JapanAnime has picked up two: Leatherman and DNA Hunter.

• Green Bunny/Beam Entertainment: Some to SoftCel Pictures (formerly), Anime 18 (e.g., Masquerade and Teacher's Pet), Nutech, Kitty, Anime 18, and AV Box (two titles), as well as ASM, but a few are available (notably G-taste 6 and 7, and Cream Lemon).

• Himajin Planning: Nothing licensed yet.

• Japan Home Video (JHV): Super Techno Arts announced Shadow, but seems to have dropped it, while CMV has licensed SINKAN and the second Venus File series, which leaves a couple titles.

• JVD (Digital Works/Vanilla Series' distributor): Professor Shino's Classes in Seduction to CMV.

• Lemon Heart: About half of the catalog was licensed to NuTech, and now to ASM as part of the deal with Ken Media (the AnimErotica line)—Class Reunion Again, Septem Charm Magical Canan, Princess Memory, Romance is in the Flash of the Sword II and Maid in Dream. The rest are unreleased.

• Milky: The second big battleground—high quality and a large catalog. Split between Kitty, CMV, Anime 18, Nutech, JapanAnime, and recently ASM (Perverted Thomas and Dark Tours).

• Moonrock: To Kitty, except for Sexy Sailor Soldiers, which is CMV's.

• Muse: All three current series to Kitty.

• Obtain (AKA Obtain Future): Most of the catalog has surfaced at ASM, thought there are still a few to be released. (Obtain is the source of "MS Paint animation" titles—Android, Harumi's Bad Play, Sexy Fighter Manami and so on.)

• Pink Pineapple: Nutech and SoftCel Pictures (formerly), some re-released by CMV, much left unlicensed, but most of that is from their old back catalog.

• pixy: Nothing licensed yet (new studio).

• schoolzone: Both titles to Amorz, though not volume four of Kininaru Kimochi (yet).

• Secret Anima anthology series (by TDK CORE Co.): Catalog was licensed to Anime 18, and then to NuTech, and now to ASM as part of the deal with Ken Media (the AnimErotica line).

(What company did I miss?)
