TV Tokyo has opened a website for the television anime adaptation of the Level E manga with a two-minute streaming promotional video. Yoshihiro Togashi (Hunter X Hunter, Yu Yu Hakusho) created this story about "Prince" (Daisuke Namikawa), an alien who shares an apartment with a high school freshman named Yukitaka Tsutsui (Yoshimasa Hosoya). The cast includes Takehito Koyasu (Craft), Satomi Akesaka (Miho Edogawa), Masaya Takatsuka (Sado), Takumi Asahina (Corinne), and Fumihiko Tachiki (Narrator). Studio Pierrot and David Production are co-producing the project for a January 2011 premiere in Japan. http://ani.tv/level-e/

Real Bout High School
DVD 1: Enter the Samurai Girl
Fighting games aren't the only thing that Real Bout takes influence from and pays homage to. The main character, Ryoko, is a Samurai movie Otaku! Samurai movie references, from dialogue to sound effects, make many appearances in the series. These aren't quite as blatant as the fighting game references but they are distinctive and fans of Samurai movies will notice and enjoy them.
