According to MOON PHASE and a listing on studio ingresA's website, a Tales of the Abyss anime is in the works by Sunrise with Kodama Kenji as the director and Hishinuma Yoshihito as character designer. Also according to MOON PHASE, Nagai Gou's Z Mazinger (a retelling of the classic Mazinger Z) is getting a 26-episode anime produced by Palm Studio and directed by Imagawa Yasuhiro. Next week's finale of The Tower of Druaga ~the Aegis of Uruk~ will be accompanied by a simultaneous broadcast of a live chat with the main staff members. The special one-hour GyaO program starts at 1AM JST Friday night/Saturday morning, 15 minutes before the episode begins airing on tvk. This technically isn't news, but worth seeing if you haven't already: NEC Direct is selling customizable CODE GEASS-themed laptops. For ARIA fans, the ARIA The ORIGINATION PS2 game's website has uploaded a two-minute video of the game's fully animated OP. The game goes on sale June 26th. The Japanese blog MUSIC ROOM has put together a list of the top selling anime song singles for the first half of 2008 (stretching from mid-December of last year to last week). Number one on the list is the Shion no Ou ED, My dear friend by Aoyama Thelma, in part because Soba ni Iru ne, a song featuring popular artist SoulJa is also on the CD. Number two is CODE GEASS's OP, O2 by ORANGE RANGE, and number three is Macross Frontier's ED, Diamond Crevasse by Nakabayashi May. You can find the entire top 20 list here. 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.
