Berserk and Gundam 00 movie promos streamed

The Mainichi Shimbun newspaper’s Mantan TV service has begun streaming a special 130-second promotional video for Mobile Suit Gundam 00 the Movie: A wakening of the Trailblazer on Wednesday. This “extra promotional video” features selected battle scenes from the film.

The two-hour film serves as a sequel to the two-season Mobile Suit Gundam 00 television anime. Director Seiji Mizushima returned with his team at Sunrise to make this project. The film opened in Japan on September 18, and it will have its North American premiere at New York Anime Festival on Sunday.

The official website for Kentarou Miura’s Berserk manga began streaming the fifth of five new animated commercials on Tuesday. Unlike the previous commercials in the set, this final commercial debuted online instead of on television. Hakusensha published the 35th manga volume with a wraparound jacket band that announced the launch of a new anime project. Hakusensha is promoting the new manga volume with these animated commercials narrated by singer/actor Gackt.

The official website of the Koe de Oshigoto! (KoeGoto) original video anime project has begun streaming its second 92-second promotional video on Wednesday. (In the linked page, select the video thumbnail.) The video features narration by the voice actress Mako and the opening theme song “Ai no Mahō” by Mako and Ayano Ishikawa. Azure Konno’s original manga follows a high school girl named Kanna Aoyagi (Mako) who becomes a voice actress for adult games. The first volume of the anime will ship in Japan on November 17.
