Shin Angyo Onshi and Utawarerumono from ADV, and School Rumble for Funi

Unfortunately, Utawarerumono's name is getting butchered. While I can understand a name change from a marketing standpoint, the name they're going with is just stupid -- Shadow Warrior Chronicles.

Shin Angyo Onshi will be released as Blade of the Phantom Mask.

Check http://www.animenewsnetwork.com for more info.

But ask yourself, which would be a more total obliteration of the show's name--
The Shadow Warrior Chronicles or whatever gross mispronounciations of the Japanese name that the show would get stuck with?
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

I'd be perfectly fine with a translated approximation. :lol:

Utawarerumono translates roughly to "The One Being Sung", which I think would be a really cool title.

I'm not really interested in anything ADV has been announcing lately. However, I'll be all over the School Rumble releases. I've been waiting for that announcement for awhile now.

Hahaha, yes, I agree, "The One Being Sung" would have been a much better choice. Shadow Warrior Chronicles just doesn't seem to fit the series, though. Well, ok, yeah, it's about a warrior whose life is hidden in shadows, but...Utaware just sounds so much cooler. :lol: Besides, even though the title they chose does kind of like...fit the story a little...it's almost too obvious. XD

yes! I'm super happy about school rumble. The manga is kind of diificult to understand, the charactars all looks the same. But I think this would make an awesome anime. I'm always for more shojoish anime.
