The beginning in August, I received the e-mail from Kamata Yutaka who is the producer of TANK SWAT,
I knew that the anime work had finally been completed.
Moreover, I got a DVD from him!!
"TANK S.W.A.T. 01" (C)2005 Masamune Shirow/Seishinsha-DoGA/ROMANoV HiGA
That was not a product version but the simple DVD without lots of extras.
This was the sample DVD that distributed to the movie makers.
I was pleased with the result. I felt something is wrong about the quality of the motion of CG-actor but didn't worry. because, the tempo of the story was good I felt that the time of 30 minutes of being seeing this anime was valuable!
Well, when is this product released? Sorry, I have no idea... Nippon Herald Films which is the distributor of this DVD was bought up by Kadokawa HD. Therefore, release date doesn't decide yet. In the movie makers, probably, release date becomes around this autumn.
In all who can not wait until then, conceal feelings with this trailer :)

| 11/22/2004 |
such as HEADGEAR and DEUNAN's knife, exhibited the picture of "LAND MATE" with renewal of a site.
LAND MATE is "GUGES" which appeared in "APPLESEED" movie correctly.
Since DUMMSUS does not take the side of the back, this is not "GUGES-D".
Since the part is large, is making it a solid difficult that?
However, an overall figure is not smart.....Is it the cause of a pause?
Although the solid model of LAND MATE was made several times in the past, in my individual liking, "SOFT WIRED"
(published by Papermoon) created about ten years ago was the highest quality!
| 11/06/2004 |
In Japan, if it reserves in the shop, set of postcard can be got...
When it reserves in Amazon, what does it become?

Now, I am doing the business bachelor on account of work. then, I have neither a digital camera nor a scanner. Please pardon low quality images. (because they are the images with the camera of a cellular phone!)
Today (1/20), "TOGI-HIME ZOHUSHI KOBAN" on sale!
The contents of a case,
"KA-DEN" and
"HI-DEN".
Illustration Card of 13 sheets and the Calendar Seal in 2004 are stored in the case of CD size, respectively.
Although "HI-DEN" is an erotic illustration, if it is got used to seeing GALGREASE, it will feel nothing :-P
> Nippon Export
BOOKLET POSTER 2nd. Series 9th, "GALHOUND2" was carried by "YOUNG MAGAZINE UPPERS No.3".
Next is the last "WILD WET QUEST", UPPERS No.5 (2/17 sale).
| 12/31/2003 |
Shirow's digital calendar 2004 is under sale in FRANKEN. The pattern is only APPLESEED. But, they are unnecessary if you have INTRON DEPOT D?
To the Comic-Animation Festival currently held from before, Shirow's New Year message is carried. However, his message is the same as what was carried by Foobio.
| 12/28/2003 |
First, the special feature article of "APPLE SEED" is in Foobio Mobile Contents Service. The comment to Mr. Shirow's work can be read here. But that is in Japanese, summarizes is...
- INTRON DEPOT 5 YAMATAIKO became a publication schedule from Kodansha!
- The title of INTRON DEPOT 6(7?) is set to "BABEL".
- Art Book which collected DOMINION or the covers of magazine (COMIC GUN etc.) will be published.
The greatest shocking news are that INTRON DEPOT crossed to the hand of Kodansha from Seishinsha....OMG!
Anyway, "GALGREASE postcard" in "YOUNG MAGAZINE UPPERS No.2". They are 6 kinds in all. Though it was regrettable, I was not able to receive the card with which Shirow's sign was written.
Next information, The postcard of "TOGI-HIME ZOHUSHI"is a sale schedule in mid-January 2004. Normal version <KA-DEN> and erotic version <HI-DEN> are contained in CD case by 12+1 sheets, the price is 1,000 yen in one set of two cases.
Now, although various art books are announced next year, do your best and get!
| 12/15/2003 |
Now, creation of art book "GALGREASE" will be favorable towards spring sale next year. It seems that however, a postcard is attached to UPPERS of next number before the art book. Although there are six kinds of postcards in all, being attached to the magazine is one kind in it. The postcard with which Shirow's sign was written may be rarely contained...?
The postcard version of 2 kinds of "TOGI-HIME ZOHUSHI" is newly planned. <KA-DEN> is a normal (?) version, <HI-DEN> is a erotic version. Which do you choose?
Shirow's Christmas illustration was now carried by UPPERS. It is very great Christmas!
| 12/01/2003 |
and, the information of Christmas plan in last news became clear! An appendix of BOOK in BOOK form is attached to the next number of UPPERS (No.1). It seems that however, as for this, not only Shirow but several authors have participated by omnibus. Sale on December 16 is long in coming!
| 11/17/2003 |
And, art book "GALGREASE" will be a sale start schedule after spring in next year. ...hmm, the amount of information has seldom changed from last time.
It seems that instead, a Christmas plan appears in UPPERS soon apart from GALGREASE. Check, Check!
Now, this time most shocking news -- All the pages of "TOGI-HIME ZOUSHI" put on the market in December are the same as that of "Japanesque"!! Oh my.....What happened!? From when did SEISHINSHA and KODANSHA really become the same company? The future trend of two companies is worrisome. :P
Anyway, it seems that the open day of Movie "INNOCENCE" was determined on March 6, 2004.
| 11/01/2003 |
Furthermore, by the name of "S.A.C.2nd GIG" in the sequel of SAC, broadcast will be started by SkyPerfectTV from January, 2004. Is this also broadcast by the ground wave someday? (source)
Is broadcast by the ground wave possibly used as advertisement of "INNOCENCE"? Supposing that is right, can't broadcast by the ground wave of "2nd GIG" be desired?
| 10/21/2003 |
BOOKLET POSTER 2nd. Series 6th, "GALHOUND2" was carried by "YOUNG MAGAZINE UPPERS No.21". Next is "WILD WET QUEST", UPPERS No.23 (11/18 sale).
