Aniplex USA will be offering a limited quantity of The Garden of Sinners (Kara no Kyokai) Blu-ray collection on sale at Rightstuf. The set contains all 7 movies originally aired in theaters in Japan including a special bonus chapter included in an 8th disc. Apparently this is a direct import from the Japanese edition but will include English subtitles and a separate booklet in English with all the translations for the included artbook. Hardcore fans will be pleased to note they will be able to purchase the collection at a discounted $398.98 opposed to the 52,200 yen (roughly $638 USD as of this post) price tag in Japan.
The Garden of Sinners was originally a light novel written by Kinoko Nasu and illustrated by Takashi Takeuchi. Both men are probably best known for forming the visual novel game company Type-Moon which produced the popular Fate/stay night series.
Chances are, if you're hardcore into anime, you know where to browse for deals. However, since not all anime fans are as fanatical as the rest of us, it's worth mentioning how to obtain some decent quality shows on the cheap. I'm not talking about browsing through eBay for someone's old collection or finding that "good-enough" bootleg, but directly supporting licensors by hitting them up for sweet deals.
Earlier this month, the January issue of Newtype Magazine mentioned a new collaboration project between visual novel game maker Type-Moon and animation studio ufotable would be announced in the February issue. Apparently the game maker's own magazine, TYPE-MOON Ace has taken the early initiative and announced an anime adaptation of Fate/zero.
The story details the events that took place prior to the original plot of Fate/stay night during the 4th Holy Grail War. Fate/zero originally was a collaboration project between Type-Moon's illustrator Takashi Takeuchi and Nitroplus' Gen Urobuchi that started in 2006.

It's that time again, and the denizens of the anime community have put together yet another chart of Winter's anime season. Fans may want to keep an on Beelzebub, a story about a delinquent who ends up with a Demon King's baby, which has been highly successful as a manga in Japan, and Haiyoru! Nyarlko which received OVA shorts earlier this year. Will update appropriately as more information is released.
To the fans across the world who have yet to hear this, Genshiken, a highly popular slice of life manga about a Japanese college otaku club, will be making a return in the December issue of Afternoon Magazine. The story roughly begins from where the original manga left off with Chika Ogiue left as President of the club. Genshiken's popularity had led to 2 anime adaptations with 12 episodes each, and a 3 episode OVA. Magazine scan with the sequel's announcement inside.
