News – Inazuma Eleven GO Chrono Stone 3DS Neppuu/Raimei Versions Announced

Inazuma Eleven GO Chrono Stone 3DS will be split into 2 versions like most of its predecessors: version Neppuu (hot wind) and Raimei (thunder), both written in katakana although the words normally exist with kanji characters as well (イナズマイレブンGO2 クロノ・ストーン ネップウ/ライメイ).

The release for the 2 titles is scheduled for Winter 2012.

News – Next Inazuma Eleven Movie announced: Inazuma Eleven GO VS Danball Senki W

I’ll be frank, just check the Anime News Network post for more info.

The sneak peek also hints at offering amazing visuals, as well as many pre-opening promotions to come.

Also, to clear up any confusion, the characters from both series will be in the same world in this movie, and it won’t just be two separate movies or such.

Otomedia Spring 2012
Highlight: GO CharaSong AlbumTerasaki Yuka (Matsukaze Tenma), Oohara Takashi (Tsurugi Kyousuke) interview w/ summaries

Terasaki Yuka (Matsukaze Tenma), Oohara Takashi (Tsurugi Kyousuke) interview
There’s a lot of overlap with the website Character Song Messages From the Voice Actors (GO), so here’s the newer stuff:
✿ Oohara says he thinks he listens to Tenma’s “Soyokaze Step” the most because he likes the lightheartedness of the song, and he ends up humming to end often.
✿ For the Raimon School Theme song, the official setting is that all of the first-years are there INCLUDING Tsurugi, just that he isn’t singing. There was also originally a part where Shinsuke says “Why aren’t you singing, Tsurugi?~” but it got cut out for the final version.
✿ Terasaki also particularly likes “Ashita no Field” and “Houkago Chemistry”.
✿ Oohara admits he was a little drunk when he first listened to “Ashita no Field”, but hearing Saiga’s singing sobered him up.
✿ Oohara wants to hear a song by Hamano-senpai. Terasaki suggests a fishing song by Hamano and Hayami. And a song from Amagi with plenty of “dadodado”. Also an idol song with all the managers, not just Aoi, but also with Midori, Yamana and Haruna-sensei. Oohara suggests adding Sasuke to the pack. Terasaki also wants to sing a song with Shinsuke, while Oohara wants to sing one with Nishiki-senpai (o.O).
✿ Oohara would also like to sing a song as Tsurugi to a cool melody like Resistance, one to fit his image of fighting on the field during a match. But when he says he’d like to sing it with something, Terasaki suggests Tenma joins in with occasional lines like “You can do it, Tsurugi!”, which Oohara cleanly objects with a laugh.
