Two Hatsune Miku Dancing Videos Fascinate Vocaloid Fans

MMD (MikuMikuDance) is not only tool to create dancing videos of Hatsune Miku and other vocaloid characters. Two new videos recently posted in the web have amazed vocaloid video watchers by their uniqueness and cuteness. The first video "Kami Miku Nekomimi Switch Odottemita" was created by Miro using paper collage technique. The creator made 2,000 paper Mikus and spent 7 months to create the video. The video has been viewed more than 140,000 times at Nico Nico Douga in only 6 days. The second video "Doll-type robot dances 'Miku Miku ni Shite Ageru'" was made by Rozen Zebet using a highly-realistic 60 cm dancing robot doll "Arisa" in Hatsune Miku costume.

Karneval TV Anime's 1st Promo Streamed

Karneval, supposedly the next "big" fantasy, action and mystery anime in 2013. Let's hope the promotions aren't just all `talk' and the final product doesn't disappoint, like with Arcarna Famiglia, K or Magi.

The official website for the television anime adaptation of Touya Mikanagi's Karneval manga added the first 36-second promotional video on Tuesday. Voice actors Hiro Shimono (Nai) and Hiroshi Kamiya (Gareki) narrate the video.

The website also updated with details about a February 10 "Opening Performance" event in Tokyo, as well as additional character profiles.

The original manga follows Nai, a naïve boy searching for someone important to him, with only an abandoned bracelet as a clue. He encounters the pickpocket Gareki when the two meet in a strange mansion. Soon they find themselves part of a setup, becoming wanted criminals by military security operatives. When all hope seems lost, the two are introduced to none other than the country's most powerful defense organization, "Circus."

Eiji Suganuma (Kodomo no Jikan, Mashiroiro Symphony - The color of lovers, Ninja Cadets, Sasameki Koto) is directing the series at Manglobe (Deadman Wonderland, Hayate the Combat Butler: Can't Take My Eyes Off You, Mashiroiro Symphony - The color of lovers, Ergo Proxy) and Touko Machida (THE IDOLM@STER, Lucky Star, Amnesia) is handling the scripts. Toshie Kawamura (Yes! Precure 5, Smile Precure!,Mashiroiro Symphony - The color of lovers) is serving as the character designer and chief animation director for the series.

The television series is scheduled to premiere this spring, and the manga's 10th volume shippped last month with an anime preview DVD.
