Someday's Dreamers no 2

Mahou Tsukai Taisetsu na Koto no 2 is coming to grace 2008. Again, I don't expect from this anime, I do enjoy the placid 1st season. This time though, the story focus on another witch, not the previous one.

Ultraviolet the anime?

The Animax satellite television network confirmed in a Tokyo International Anime Fair 2008 press conference on Thursday that its Ultraviolet: Code 044 anime is based on Kurt Wimmer's 2006 live-action Ultraviolet film starring Milla Jovovich. The anime was pre-announced in a press release for the event. Famed director Osamu Dezaki (Ashita no Joe, Aim For The Ace!, Lupin III movies) will supervise the animators of Madhouse and Tezuka Productions. Dezaki's longtime collaborator Akio Sugino (Ashita no Joe, Aim For The Ace!, Black Jack The Movie, Golgo 13: The Professional) will design the characters. Romi Paku (Fullmetal Alchemist's Ed, NANA's Nana Osaki) will voice the main character "044." 044 is a female warrior genetically engineered with high combat skills and ordered by the government to annihilate a vampire army. Madhouse founder Masao Maruyama will produce with Sony Pictures Entertainment (Japan). The project will premiere on Animax on July 1 to mark the anime network's 10th anniversary.

Yeap the good old Milla Jovovich inspired movie is now in anime format. I honestly do not expect much out of it. The movie reminds me of lots of cheesy action, an updated version of gun kata made popular by Equilibrium and very high body count.

I do wonder if the anime is going to repeat the same thing as the movie does.

I will watch it with little expectation. But voice actress of Claire from Claymore is here so, some compensation for me, I guess.
