Extremely short news report this week, I’m pounded with work.
Yuri Event News
Sailor Moon and Aria (also Doremi and Tamayura) anime director Satou Junichi will be a guest at Ushicon in Austin, Texas in February. Texan readers – if any of you are going, please let us know how it goes!
I’ll be a guest at Yaoi and Yuri Con in The Netherlands on April 1, 2012! I’m very excited to be able to meet some of the Yuricon and Okazu fans there. If you’re in Europe, I hope you’ll come by, and say hello! I’ll be on a Yuri panel, of course, and hope to do a lecture, as well.

Yuri Anime
Sentail Filmworks has announced that they’ve licensed A Channel. I couldn’t watch this, so if you’re picking it up and want to write a review for Okazu, by all means, please contact me!
Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magika is being adapted into a 3-part film project. They are so not done milking this yet. The anime is being released by Aniplex USA this winter.

Yuri Manga
Don’t forget that next week, the second and, sadly, final, volume of Ame-iro Kouchakan Kandan (あめ色紅茶館歓談) hits the shelves. There is a deluxe version with Drama CD and a manga-only edition.
Also out next week is the January issue of Comic Yuri Hime (コミック百合姫).
The third volume of Blue Friend (ブルーフレンド) hits the shelves next week as well.

That’s a wrap for this week.

Thanks for the reminder about the about the last volume of Ame-iro Kouchakan Kandan being released next week.
I wonder, it seems like there has been a real furious anime licensing binge between Funimation and Sentai/Section 23. I wonder if this a good thing? I would say yes just because in means more stuff to watch.
Is that “I couldn’t watch this” about A Channel in the sense of “I didn’t get an opportunity to do so” or “I tried and after an episode and a half couldn’t tolerate this nonsense any longer”?
