Letter Bee anime special

This really could work out. Letter Bee (Tegami Bachi) the manga has already been licensed by Viz and the special short has been shown earlier in the Shounen Jump road tour in Japan. This new anime adaptation is not official yet, but it’s likely.

You can watch the Letter Bee special mentioned above here. It is sub-titled already, but you will need to download the special Shounen Jump player to watch. After that hit watch and then open/save. You may want wait a bit before playing the file.

Letter Bee has been compared to D.Gray-Man and there are some similarities, but this series is really styled well and the characters are more likable, though. There are five volumes of the manga published in Japan, so there will be enough material for at least a good season (or two). Just hope it does not go so long as D.Gray-Man. The voice acting is very pleasent in the special, even Lag’s.

Cool points are scored by Lag’s name, his gun (which clearly looks like it was meant to be much longer), and the abuse of various shades of purple with blue colors.

Letter Bee anime

Letter Bee or also known as Tegami Bachi is getting an anime quite soon. The thing is that it may not be released on DVD or shown on television. It’s for the Jump Super Anime Tour in Japan, but perhaps a single episode could spark interest in producing an animated series. The original creator Hiroyuki Asada sure likes the idea of a Letter Bee anime. The guy mentions how wonderful it is often on his blog. Screenshots and voice actor information can be found here on the Jump Square official site. Jump Square is the magazine where the new chapters are coming from.

Hope it doesn’t get over shadowed by the Dragonball, One Piece, Bleach, Blue Dragon, the other special episodes being shown with it.

Letter Bee manga licensed

Manga publisher Viz Media has acquired the manga Tegami Bachi (also known as Letter Bee). Even better the manga will be serialized in Shounen Jump in March 2009. Tegami Bachi is serialized in Shueisha’s Shounen Square/Monthly Shonen Jump in Japan and is currently on going.

The story is of couriers known as Tegami Bachi send and deliver important letters and items accross Amber Ground, a land of never ending dusk. Very detailed and lush art on every page. Covers and colored artwork included have a creative blend of colors setting the mood. It may seem a little like D.Gray-Man at first, but the adventure is much more fun. At then end you have poor Dr. Tunderland giving explanations and background of each volume.

Tegami Bachi volume 4 has been release in Japan this month. This manga just might be animated if it keeps going.

One of the only Tegami Bachi related videos on Youtube was removed, even though it was just some manga scans and music.

My first real Photoshop attempt is coloring of manga. A bit of a simple style, but hopefully later on textures and such can be added. For now there’s these. They’re from the manga Tegami Bachi (Letter Bee). A shounen fantasy series with characters who’s duty is to deliver mail to people in a world of eternal dusk.
