Since news has been a little quiet, I thought I’d make a post about something I think many visitors here don’t know about yet – a project to fansub video clips of favorite artists! Currently led by tsubasa, Varete, aki, Equalizer, and arqnohikari, they’ve put out an impressive list of interviews, MC clips, and documentaries that can be seen here! (And at Varete’s youtube channel)
Here’s an example of their work: a 40 minute interview with Yuki Kajiura from 2010. Watch it, check out the rest of their amazing work, and maybe volunteer your own talents to their initiative!
amazon.jp has updated with entry for the Madoka Magica movies Blu-ray Limited Edition set, releasing on July 24, 2013. The release will include 2 BDs, containing the 2 Madoka movies (Hajimari no Monogatari, Eien no Monogatari) which recap the TV anime’s plot & special features. The Original Soundtrack will be included as bonus CD. Kajiura-san has reportedly composed brand new tracks for the movies (such as trasformation scene BGMs) and vocal versions of older Madoka musics (like Decretum’s)!
The BD set will come with a special booklet, and a digipack. The special features include the trailers, commercials, creditless OP, and audio commentary.
