Following her excellent work in the “Blue Literature” and “A Place Further than the Universe” series, it was about time for Atsuko Ishizuka to direct and pen a movie of her own, with “Goodbye Don Glees” being her first effort with both capacities. Animated by one of the top anime studios at the moment, Madhouse, and featuring an approach that moves somewhere between Miyazaki and “Stand By Me”, “Goodbye Don Glees” is definitely an interesting anime
Goodbye Don Glees is screening at Camera Japan
The story revolves around three boys. Roma is a farmer’s son who is considered the bottom of his class’s hierarchy, at least to the majority of his classmates, “because he smells of manure”. The only kid who seems fond of him is his best friend Toto, with the two actually being a “gang” calling themselves Don Glees and spending much time in their secret hideout in the forest.

Boy, is it a good time for anime in July! Not only will we see anime from Marvel with Iron Man and Wolverine but the anime of the CW’s Supernatural will hit shelves stateside, too! Supernatural: The Anime is also from the animation studio of Madhouse and consists of twenty-two episodes, adapting the first two seasons of the show as Sam and Dean Winchester search for their father while hunting supernatural baddies. There are some supplemental storylines as well, so it’s not a strict translation.

Special features on the set include: featurettes on turning the live-action series into anime, live-action introductions to each episode, and interviews with Padalecki, Ackles, and series creator Eric Kripke.

All 22 episodes are tentatively expected to be available, direct to video, by April 2011.
The series is produced by Madhouse, an animation studio better known for titles like Vampire Hunter D (1985), Trigun (1998) and Monster (2004).

In news I thought I’d never post, it seems anime studio Madhouse, who are responsible for some of the greatest anime series of all time – including: Death Note, Paprika and Vampire Hunter D, are working on an anime based on the CW show Supernatural. Yes, you read that right… Supernatural.
The original live-action series follows the Winchester brothers Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) as they hunt creatures and other supernatural phenomena across the American landscape. The new anime will be a 22-episode season that will cover the storyline of the live-action version’s first two seasons. According to animeanime.jp, the anime:
…will not only remake the best episodes from the live-action version, but also depict original episodes not seen in the live-action version. Those original episodes will include prologues of the Winchester brothers’ childhood, anime-only enemies, and episodes featuring secondary characters from the live-action version.

Well this is interesting. Cinema Today is reporting that highly acclaimed Japanese anime studio Madhouse is producing a 22 episode season of Supernatural that will cover the first two seasons of the cult CW demon-hunting favourite starring Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles. According to their website, this would be the first overseas drama to ever be developed by a Japanese animation studio.
'Supernatural the Animation' will not only remake episodes of its live-action source, but will also contain original stories never seen before. The new original episodes will focus on the boys' young lives and the adventures of secondary characters. It's coming to Japan in DVD and Blu-ray formats on January 11, 2011. Warned Home Video is behind the release, and Supernatural mastermind Eric Kripke is credited as the anime's creator, which bodes well for those hoping the series is kept firmly in the show's continuity.
