Manga Library

The new Tokyo International Manga Library, which will house two million + manga, anime, games and related media (think cels, character goods, figures, dojinshi), is scheduled to open in 2014 at the Surugadai campus of Meiji University. The building planned to house the collection will be 5 stories and 8, 500 square meters (think 2+ acres).

Meanwhile, Kyoto has had Kyoto International Manga Museum since 2006. With 500 yen (think $5.50) you can buy a day pass to the museum, where you can read all the manga you want from its collection.

NY Anime Festival

It's heeeeeere. Starting tomorrow. The Last NY Anime Festival... Kidding. Next year, the PTB are combining the Comicon and Animefest to better "monetize" the events. Whatever. It means NYCC + NYAF = total takeover of the Javits Center from October 8-10, 2010. And hey, pre-combo the NYCC was the 2nd largest pop cult event in America and the 2nd largest event in NYC. Bwhahahah.

Inuyasha Again

Rumors and reports have it that the Inuyasha anime series will resume this fall in October with Inuyasha: Kanketsuhen (Inuyasha: The Final Chapters) on Japan’s YTV.

The Inuyasha manga ended with Volume #56 last June but the 167 episodes of the anime only covered the manga through Volume #36. That works out to approximately 4.6 anime episodes per book. With 20 books remaining, that means how many episodes ahead?

Reports also say the original voice cast is returning.
