ANIMEfringe News Brief
ANN Down In Flames?
On April 23 it became apparent
that the former leader in the quest to bring the latest Anime
news to the World Wide Web, the Anime News Network, was down for
the count. Just a week after announcing one of the most eagerly-anticipated
announcements concerning Sailor Moon's bright future in the
English market, ANN quietly disappeared behind a plain white page
reading "disabled index." Signs of trouble were hinted
two weeks prior, when news stories were not posted regularly. On
the week of April 17th, the Editor-in-Chief posted an editorial
about how he had let down the anime community by letting the news
stories lapse.
Follow-up story: On May 1st, the Anime News Network was brought back from the cyber-void it had fallen into. The stories from April 17th were still present, thought no new articles had been added. It is unclear at this time as to what caused ANN to go offline.
Nanako Awakens The Sanjiyan: The
Latest Nanako & 3x3 Eyes News
In March, ANIMEfringe announced
that the series Nanako Kaitai Shinsyo, an OVA about an
ordinary high-school student who must take a job as a Nurse to
help with her parent's mounting debt, was tentatively titled Bionic
Nanako. Now, according to July solicitations in Previews
Magazine, the series has the official title of "Amazing
Nurse Nanako." The 16-and-up rated, first volume Amazing
Nurse Nanako Volume 1: 'Doctor Is Out' is expect in
stores in July on VHS subtitled and dubbed and Bilingual DVD.
In other related news, the re-release
of the two 3x3 Eyes OAV series is nearly complete. The
first volume, 3x3 Eyes: Immortals will feature the fully
subtitled and re-dubbed first four episodes in a two-tape boxed
set with gatefold slip-sleeve packaging. Though the first volume
will only be released on VHS subtitled and dubbed, a DVD box set
which will contain both OAV series will be released at the same
time or shortly after the VHS release of the 2nd OVA series,
which is still in production. Inside sources reveal, "...some
really great voice and directing talent on Nanako & 3x3 Eyes.
Including such name actors as Keith David, Brigitte Bako,
Christian Campbell, Bill Faggerbakke and many more."
