Beyblade Anime to Return after 4 Years This Summer
The April 8 issue of the Nihon Keizai (Nikkei) Shimbun paper reports that Takara-Tomy is reviving the Beyblade spinning-top game franchise after a four-year hiatus this August, and will sponsor a new accompanying Beyblade anime this summer. Takara-Tomy is aiming for 20 billion yen (about US$200 million) in yearly revenue by next year, and will improve the new tops by making them out of metal instead of plastic.

New Nijū-Mensō no Musume Anime Teaser Trailer Streamed
The official Japanese website of the Nijū-Mensō no Musume television anime series is streaming a new one-minute, 47-second trailer. The trailer first appeared at Tokyo International Anime Fair 2008 late last month. The anime about a female thief will premiere in Japan on April 12.
The story revolves around a female thief named Chico, who is the spiritual successor to the Kaijin Nijū-Mensō (The Fiend with 20 Faces) thief character created by famed suspense and detective novelist Ranpo Edogawa. (Edogawa is a pen name for Tarō Hirai; when written in Japanese family-name-first order, it spells out a Japanese pun for the name of the American suspense and detective author "Edgar Allen Poe.")
