“Media Mix” is an entertainment industry buzzword for having a property – in this case, let’s say THE IDOLM@STER – span various different types of media in its quest to conquer the universe. So it starts off in its original form (for Im@s, a game) then branches out to other forms (anime, manga, radio shows, [...]

Rotte gets a Name Change

Posted by: sidereelseiya on: February 25, 2011

The upcoming TV anime Rotte no Omocha (“Rotte’s Toy”) is now called Astarotte no Omocha (“Astarotte’s Toy”). Why, you might ask? Well, the food and candy conglomerate Lotte (spelled and pronounced exactly the same as Rotte in Japanese) likely has something to do with it. How much will this matter? Not much. Astarotte is actually [...]

Posted by: sidereelseiya on: February 22, 2011

After a long weekend, there’s always a lot of news. First off, the K-On! Movie hits theaters on December 3, 2011. That’s with one exclamation point, which would suggest this is a repackaging of the original TV series. But wait, there’s more! Lots more.

This is Takagaki Ayahi. She got her first starring role in 2007′s Venus Versus Virus and after a few well-received roles (like Isurugi Noe in True Tears, a personal favorite), her career really took off after she joined the seiyuu idol group Sphere in 2009. Along with young stars Tomatsu Haruka (Kannagi), Toyosaki Aki (Yui, K-On!) and [...]
