Bandai has announced that they are releasing the Lucky Star OVA on Region 1 DVD sometime “next month”. They have also been kind enough to upload a promo clip of the show to YouTube. However, it may not work in some regions…

The first DVD release for the current season of Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu has been announced for release in September. Titled ‘Sasa no Ha Rhapsody’ it will comprise of one episode and plenty of special features, totaling a run time of 43 minutes. This DVD package will contain some goodies as well, namely a postcard, coaster and bookmark. Special features on the DVD include TV spots, Aya Hirano music videos, and the first song album.
‘Sasa no Ha Rhapsody’, or ‘Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody’ in English, was our first taste of a new season of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and it was a sight for sore eyes. A DVD release of this episode is welcomed, however this begs to question how the ‘Endless Eight’ arc that is airing currently will be released on DVD.

ANN is reporting that the popular adventure anime InuYasha will be returning to television this fall in order to cover the final 21 volumes of Rumiko Takahashi’s voluminous manga series. Given the series’ immense popularity overseas, an English adaptation seems likely. Fangirls (and boys) can only hope that we get plenty of scenes with Sesshomaru…
The chatter on 4chan and AnimeSuki seems to indicate that this weeks episode provides no conclusion to the Endless Eight arc. We’ll wait for official conformation from more reliable sources, and report it when it comes. Stay tuned!
UPDATE: Random Curiosity now confirms it. With its fifth episode, Endless Eight remains endless. Cue fan outrage in three, two, one…
