Today marks the beginning of something new at the Nihon Review. As of now, we are adding a new feature that will hopefully bring new members to our homey little community. Today our main page becomes like Slashdot. What I mean by this is we (as a complete staff) will be posting anime/manga/game/music related news throughout the day. Anything we deem interesting will be posted. Just don’t look for many updates during the heart of the day, we all have our commitments (school).

In this new Project, the story continues 7 years after the last events of the previous project, in 2017. The MMORPG “The World” is updated and is renamed to “The World: R2″. The release dates for the 3 Playstation2 games “Saiten”, “Kimi Omou Koe”, “Aruku Youna Hayasa de” are planned for this year May, September and December respectively in Japan. The voice actors announced so far are Sakurai Takahiro (Tomonari Kasumi in .hack//Liminality) as Haseo, Kawasumi Ayako (Hotaru in .hack//Tasogare no Udewa Densetsu) as Atori, and Miki Shinichirou (Crim in .hack//SIGN) as Kuhn. I can hardly wait until this is released stateside. Read more.
