posted on 2012-01-03 13:51 EST
Crunchyroll announced on Tuesday that it will stream the anime adaptation of Meme Higashiya's four-panel manga Recorder to Randoseru (Recorder and Backpack) worldwide outside Japan. The series will premiere on January 5 and will be available on Crunchyroll at 12:30 p.m. EST.
The manga revolves around Atsushi Miyagawa and his sister Atsumi Miyagawa. Atsushi looks like an adult at 180 centimeters (about 71 inches) tall, but he is actually an elementary school boy. Atsumi looks like a little girl at 137 centimeters (54 inches) tall, but she is actually in high school. The manga launched in Takeshobo's Manga Club Original magazine in 2007, and it also runs in Takeshobo's Manga Life Original magazine.
Hiroshi Kimura (episode director: Gungrave, Naruto Shippūden) is directing the series off of Ryou Karasuma's (Morita-san wa Mukuchi) scripts at the animation studio Seven (Morita-san wa Mukuchi). Naruyo Takahashi (Divergence Eve, Fafner) is adapting Higashiya's characters for animation. Rie Kugimiya and Ryotaro Okiayu will star as Atsumi and Atsushi.

Umineko WHEN THEY CRY Episode 1: Legend of the Golden Witch GN 2Since this is a question arc rather than an answer, it has an ending that is far from conclusive. However this “bad end” still provides both us and the characters some important information to be carried over into the next part of the story.

“Strangely fascinating” is the best way to describe Samura's book. It has no real unifying themes or features other than Samura's art, which can get crowded at times, but it is consistently worth reading.
So far Circus and Liar's Game is an interesting break from the franchise's formula, focusing on Alice having to exist successfully in a carnivalesque environment without also being forced to choose a man. While this may very well change, at this point the story has an intriguing darker feel to it that nicely shakes up the expectations established by earlier franchise entries.
