Yuri-ish Anime
Our top story this week is that Diskotek Media has announced the release of the 1973 original Cutie Honey anime TV Series. Kisaragi Honey is the first Japanese superheroine who didn’t need a guy. How cool is that? Very cool. ^_^
Sentai Filmworks is going to release Special A with a dub.
Not sure if anyone cares anymore, but ANN has the 2nd Queen’s Blade: Vanquished Queens trailer is up for viewing.

Yuri-ish Manga
Seven Seas announced that they’ve obtained the license to Strike Witches:Maidens in the Sky and Girls und Panzer manga. YNN correspondent Shannon L also noted that they said they’re reprinting GIRL FRIENDS: The Complete Collection.
ANN reports that Tezuka’s Princess Knight is getting yet another manga remake. This one looks way better than the last. You can decide for yourself – Episode 0 is online on the magazine’s website. The Princess Knight anime from Nozomi RightStuf is also now available.

Ian attended my Yuri Panel at Anime Next 2013 and had some nice things to say about it. Now I know what my new haircut looks like. ^_^
Alex Wu put together this nice guide to fan culture in general and Comic-Con, specifically, using questions and answers on Quora. Check it out. It’s worth a look.
Oh, and here’s something cool – a Pinterest item about Miss Fury, the first American superhero written by a woman.

Nice!
I’m a big fan of New Cutey Honey, so I’m looking forward to seeing the original series finally get it’s time in the spotlight.
I’m also looking forward to Princess Knight. It’s actually quite some fun!
Huh, and since Seven Seas partnered with comiXology, maybe well see these titles I’m digital form, too? Woo!
At the moment, it seems like most of what they are putting on Comixology are the OEL and Dance in the Vampire Bund, but maybe Futabasha will be open to it.
A Girl Friends reprint must mean it did well for them. That’s fantastic news.
Or they had a conservative first printing – or a combination of both. ^_^
Erica, did I miss a note about the Hayate X Blade 2 reports? I figured you’d definitely be interested in that if you hadn’t seen.

I didn’t imagine it, the July issue of Ultra Jump says that the next issue is an epilogue. So, good, the news was listed in the *next* issue for September. All the July one says is “it’ over, but it’s not over.”
Thanks for the heads up. I’ll add this to the next YNN.
