"GOTHICMADE - Hana no Utame", Newest Anime by The Five Star Stories' Mamoru Nagano

"GOTHICMADE - Hana no Utame", Newest Anime by The Five Star Stories' Mamoru Nagano
	The author of "The Five Star Stories", Mamoru Nagano, had released a promotion video for his new anime.
	You mean "GOTHICMADE - Hana no Utame". You can watch the video at GOTHICMADE Official Site. He will be working as the original creator, screenplay, photography, key animation, design artwork and director, all by himself.
	By the way, who is Mamoru Nagano?
	Many years ago, he worked for "Heavy Metal L-Gaim", a Japanese TV anime, as character and mecha designer. He had designed some mobile suits for "MOBILE SUIT ZETA GUNDAM" too. He is also famous for his manga "The Five Star Stories". The manga started from 1986, had rest for some time, but still continuing. It had became a theatrical anime too.
	The manga is serialized on anime magazine "Newtype", it is resting now.
	Is it HOT in Japan?
	Well, hard to say.
	Hard to say...
	It is hot among some people, but quite minor. Especially it is serialized on anime magazine. If the circulation of 2 magazines are the same, serialized on manga magazine should gain more attention than on anime magazine. The exact number of fans really unknown.
	Huh.
	However, whenever he release an illustration book, it can conquer high position at amazon.co.jp's ranking, so he is still a noticeable creator. His newest anime, no matter what release format it will be, is worth notice.
	Still no detail for that. Let's check for further updates.

HOT Anime Starting April 2010 in Japan: Part 2

HOT Anime Starting April 2010 in Japan: Part 2
	The continuation of "HOT Anime Starting April 2010 in Japan: Part 1".
	Let's check the remaining stuff.
	We've got "Transformers Animated", animation of "Transformers". It's HOT overseas too.
	Already aired overseas, and it is coming to Japan. In the past, "Transformers" was quite hot in Japan, but that's already history. If this anime can catch children's attention, Transformers may become hot again in Japan.
	"Heroman" is related to overseas production too.
	Created by America's famous Marvel Comics' Stan Lee. Of course you guys know "Spider-Man", "X-Men" and "Hulk". That's why it receives attention from overseas too.
	How about "Metal Fight Beyblade Baku"?
	"Beyblade" is a HOT toy in Japan. It lost attention for a while but it became hot again. That's why it makes a new anime. "Beyblade" appears in the story. The toy is sold overseas too so you may know about that.
	"Magic Kaito" has many Japanese fans.
	Created by Gosho Aoyama, the author of the long-lasting manga/anime series "Detective Conan". Characters of "Magic Kaito" appear in "Detective Conan", so Conan fans know about them even though they don't know "Magic Kaito". It becomes an independent anime this time, and is HOT among Conan fans.
	By the way, a very HOT anime in 2009, "K-On!", will have a sequel called "K-On!!". There are 2 "!". That's the 2nd season.
	It is about Japanese high school music activity, not mastering the ultimate music goal, but music activity within everyday school life. Although it had became a boom in the 1st season, Japanese used to ignore any work after its boom, so I think it can't be that HOT in Japan again.
	That's all for HOT anime huh.
	There are still many new anime though. We can't know which anime is good before on air, so hard to introduce all of them. So that's all.
	Other anime starting April 2010 are as follow. Check it out. B Gata H Kei Angel Beats! Ichiban Ushiro no Dai Mao The Penguins from Madagascar Giant Killing WORKING!!
