One of the (not so latest) announcements for Showgate was their name change from Toshiba Entertainment to Showgate in June of this year. Showgate’s line-up for 2007 are:
- Ghost Hound
- Kyoshiro and the Eternal Sky
- Nana Tsurio
- Cool and Sweet
- Black Blood Brothers
- Project Blue, SOS
- Karas, Episodes 4, 5, 6
- Tokyo Zombie
- Devil May Cry
The highly anticipated Devil May Cry anime series is currently airing in Japan. It will be released on DVD in December of this year in Japan. Showgate is currently negotiating with ADV as to when the DMC DVD will be released in the US.
Commenting on the story itself for the Devil May Cry anime series, Showgate representatives stated:
…the story does not closely follow the games. The focus will be primarily on Dante and his daily life but Lady and Trish will also make appearances….
Karas 4,5, and 6 will be released at the end of this year.

I was exposed to anime as a child while living in Germany after watching the Japanese version of Hans Christian Anderson’s the Little Mermaid. In high school, a classmate in art brought in Akira as an example of Japanese art. I wasn’t very impressed with anime at the time, but my re-exposure to it in 2000 thanks to Escaflowne had me hooked for life.After sorting out what I liked about anime (great stories, beautiful animation and epic battles) and disliked about anime (big boobs, angst-y 15 year-old kids, most mecha, sports stories and style-over-substance), I got into it with a vengeance.I do love almost all aspects of Japanese culture and try to be involved with it as much as possible. I have no problem admitting that I incorporate a lot of Japanese trends and traditions into my life as I modify them and make them my own. Anime is a big part of that, along with all the sub-cultures, past and present.
