First teaser trailer for the anime adaptation of Takafumi Takada’s novel Onigamiden directed by Hirotsugu Kawasaki (Akira, Spriggan). The feature was produced at Studio Pierrot, Sony Pictures will release it in Japan starting April 29, 2011.

Synopsis:

Onigamiden is primarily set in Heian period Kyoto during a time of fierce fighting between people and “oni” (demons). Somehow, a 15-year-old modern-day boy named Jun Tendo slips back in time 1200 years and finds himself thrown into the middle of the ancient battle.

Well, what can I say? I really liked the first trailer that was posted over a year ago, so I have no idea what Studio Madhouse was thinking here…
The rest of the first episode, which is/might be currently also available on the youtubes doesn’t look much better either.

During San Diego Comic Con, Marvel released a new trailer for the upcoming Iron Man anime series produced by animation studio Madhouse. Looks like Madhouse is now using rendered CG frames for the Iron Man suit itself while the first teaser released one year ago still showed some nice traditional animated footage.

Just in time for the theatrical opening on May 29 in Japan, the local Yahoo! branch is streaming the first five minutes and 27 seconds on the Blood: The Last Vampire live-action adaptation starring Jeon Ji-hyun. Thanks to the annoyingly slow Japanese server the video won’t play smooth for me, but I’ll try to post a local steaming solution later today.
Here’s the clip fresh from YouTube, thanks to XYZ for finding the link!
