Type-Moon Ace 6

Type-Moon Ace Vol. 6 was released last December, and featured the guidelines of TYPE-MOON related projects for the year 2011. Since this magazine is 2 months old, every piece of information has already been discussed everywhere.

Fate/Zero will be getting an anime adaptation by ufotable. The director will be Aoki Ei (Ga-Rei Zero, the first Kara no Kyoukai movie...).

A manga adaptation of Fate/Zero by Shinjiro is being serialized in Young Ace as well.

There's a small gallery of Koyama drawings for Mahou Tsukai no Yoru. No fixed release date yet besides "this Winter", so either it will be released in the following 20 days before Spring or it will be delayed yet again...

Rough sketches of Girl's Work heroine Asube Shirube.

The sub-characters Miyamoto Ariso (right) and Kurayamizaka Jizeru (Giselle?) (left).

Girl's Work story is by Hoshizora Meteo (Kusarihime 〜euthanasia〜, Forest) and the character designs by Takenashi Eri (Kannagi), so is a TYPE-MOON project only in name, since neither Nasu nor Takeuchi are working on it.
Is not completely stated, but it really seems that the VN was discarded in favor of the anime.

Rough sketches for the OVA Carnival Phantasm. Based in an anthology comic by Takenashi Eri, directed by Kishi Seiji (Angel Beats!) and the animation is going to be produced by the newly established studio Lerche (that will do an anime adaptation of Maji de Watashi ni Koishinasai! too).

Info for the already released epilogue chapter of Kara No Kyoukai and the limited BD box set.

Mahotsukai no Hako stuff.

An interview with Nasu Kinoko regarding Fate/EXTRA, with illustrations by Wada Arco.

An interview with Matou Sakura's seiyuu Shitaya Noriko.

A Dollfie Saber Lily photo session.

And the usual bunch of manga section:

All Around TYPE-MOON by Bsuke

Arcuetyp by ACPI

Melty Blood X by Kirishima Takeru

A X'mas special chapter of CANAAN by Ishida Akira

A Fate/Zero one shot comic starring a maid Sola-Ui and Kayneth El-Melloi drawn by Kurohachi.

Another one-shot by Medori featuring gender-swapped Fate/stay night characters. In the picture Kotomine, Rider, Sakura, Rin, Archer, Shirou and Taiga gender-swapped.

A short chapter of Fate/stay night by Nishiwaki Datto. Assassin being harassed by Caster by wearing female clothes.

Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya 2wei! bonus chapter starring Sella and Leysritt, by Hiroyama Hiroshi.

A Fate/EXTRA one-shot by Robina

And HibiChika Time by Oomori Hayashi.

The extra DVD contains a Kara No Kyoukai trailer and 3 episodes called Type-Moon Ace Omake Gekijou.
The first and second episodes contains the Extra versions of Saber, Caster, Archer and Sakura answering several questions about Fate/EXTRA world.
In the 3rd chapter, Extra Sakura, tired of being only a neglected side character, kidnaps the main character Master (both the male and female version) and fights against the Servants.

Dark Sakura decides to attack all the time, while the other 3 are guarding, thus counterattacking all the attacks.

Caster and Saber realizing that their Master is actually the same person.

Newtype February '11

In a whim, I ordered Newtype February '11 issue at Hobby Search.

I usually don't buy Newtype. I hardly watch anime nowadays, so if I buy a magazine is usually Comptiq or Comp Ace.
The main reason was because it included a T-shirt featuring Irisviel and suit Saber drawn by Takeuchi:


There is no new information about TYPE-MOON projects because it was already revealed in the TYPE-MOON Ace 6 (that I didn't received yet because the package is still held for customs clearance).

The anime of Fate/Zero (yay!) will be airing this year. The animation studio this time will be ufotable (double yay!)

The character designs are pretty close to Takeuchi's originals. I always thought that the designs for the anime version of Fate/stay night were a bit off, without being a Shingetsutan Tsukihime level...

Girls' Work will be an anime, too, with Takenashi Eri as the character designer. I'm not sure if the visual novel will be also released along the anime or the VN was canceled and re-launched as an anime...

The epilogue chapter of Kara No Kyoukai and the limited BD box set was already released. I expect to receive my copy today or tomorrow morning.

The ova Carnival Phantasm will be released this summer, and if we judge with the picture will be loosely based in Takenashi Eri's anthology manga Take Moon. Is true that Phantasmoon originally appeared on Take Moon, but Magical Amber not (that version was drawn by Takenashi for the Character Material) and Magical Caren an Kaleido Ruby are not even designed by her...
