News – Shoujo Artist Yagami Chitose to Draw New Inazuma Eleven GO Manga

Shoujo manga artist Yagami Chitose has announced on her blog that she will be doing a 2-month serialization Inazuma Eleven GO manga.

The manga will be a collaboration to coincide with the Inazuma Eleven GO movie coming to theaters on December 23, 2011.

She mentions “Akane-chan” will be the main character for January 2012’s Ciao (Shogakukan). (I assume Yamana Akane, the one who takes pictures)

Unfortunately, there are no current plans for the short series to be put into a tankouban (volume book). We’ll see about that. +w+

She’s shared some lovely sketches on her blog, so check ’em out~ They are reference drawings she sent to LEVEL-5. She also writes that the offer to do this manga came up last summer. While unsure whether she was suitable to do the manga, her chief editor reassured her that she was the only one they could imagine for the project.

News – Inazuma Eleven GO 2012 Calendar Preorders

The Inazuma Eleven GO 2012 Calendars are up for preorder at CDJapan!

A2, 7 pages
CDJapan listing

“Today’s proverb” 25 x 23cm, 14 pages
CDJapan listing

There are two kinds, A2, 7 page, which is a very large poster size, and the “Today’s proverb” version which is much smaller, but more functional as an actual calendar. From my experiences, there’s much less original artwork in the smaller version, so take your pick for new artwork vs. functionality, or get both even. XD

You can see some of previous years’ calendar images here for a sampling!

News – Level-5 International America Site Opened, Asks What Game You Want

I don’t plan to cover any dub Inazuma Eleven stuff in the future (unless they miraculously keep the original names), but…

LEVEL-5 has opened its official site for its International America side:
Official Site: http://www.level5ia.com
Twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/LEVEL5_IA
Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/LEVEL5IA

The facebook has opened a poll (question) asking What unreleased LEVEL-5 game is the most exciting to you?

Choose where your voice and vote go wisely. +__+

Btw, some personal notes: Does anyone really think they WON’T bring Professor Layton VS Ace Attorney over? Does it even NEED votes? It’s not even available in Japan yet either, so I wish they hadn’t added it to the list at all… (Just for the record, I’m totally excited for that game myself since I’ve played everything in the Gyakuten Saiban series and am slowly going through Layton. But THINK, people.)
