Unless there's some big news, I likely won't be posting any Daily Doses over the next few days so that I can work on the Summer 2008 Preview instead. There's only half as many new shows as the spring, but it still takes a lot of time to research and write up. ALIVE Saishuu Shinkateki Shounen will be getting an anime. Dengeki Online has an interview with the main cast of the upcoming third season of Zero no Tsukaima. Supposedly the themes for this time around are "love" and "ero". The official Macross Frontier website has uploaded a preview of the upcoming ALL THAT VF short I mentioned a couple of days ago. TV Asahi has opened their website for the new Someday's Dreamers anime starting in July. As MOON PHASE notes though, both it and the official site are still rather sparse. ZAKZAK has some screenshots of the upcoming second Mai-Otome S.ifr episode, as well as an post-recording interview with the cast. Naruto Shippuuden's new ending theme starting in July will be NICO Touches the Walls' Broken Youth. If you find anything that you think I should mention on any particular day’s Daily Dose, please send me an email with the words “ANIME NEWS” somewhere in the subject line.

Okay, I have to admit, I’m really not all that into Mai-HiME or My-Otome or any of that jazz– just not my kinda thing. But I’d be remiss if I didn’t let you know that 2NN reports that a new Mai-HiME project is in the works, and this one will feature a new heroine named [...]

Wow, they are working on another Mai-HiME project. Not sure if its a series or OVA. I would prefer a series but we shall see it it happens. Honestly, I hope its not a disaster like Mai-Otome was. Also I hope they actually don’t include any of the previous characters from the other series. I [...]
