Trailer for Magic Tree House Anime

AnimeNews Network has posted the trailer, they picked up from Kadokawa Shoten’s Movie Walker website and YouTube, of Mary Pope Osborne’s The Magic Tree House.  The movie’s animation is based on Ayana Amako’s artwork that is used in the Japanese editions of the books.  This will definitely be one for libraries to keep their eyes out for when it becomes available to purchase in the U.S.

Library Wars Becomes Movie

AnimeNews Network’s site says that a June flyer for Kadokawa Shoten’s Kadokawa Bunko imprint has announced that a film based on Hiro Arikawa’s Library War (Toshokan Senso) light novels is in the beginning stages.  As with any movie in the beginning stages it could fall apart or make it to the theaters.  Hopefully this will make it to the theaters and then be made available to the North American market to purchase in Blu-Ray and DVD formats.
