Darker than Black
This year's 10th issue of Square Enix's Young Gangan seinen magazine will announce on Friday that Yuji Iwahara will be launching a new manga version of BONES' Darker than BLACK anime series in the next issue on May 15. Iwahara also drew the original character designs in the anime, which Tensai Okamura directed. In the story, an amoral psychic agent unravels the mysteries surrounding the disruptive Hell's Gate spatial field that first appeared in Tokyo a decade ago. Nokiya drew a separate manga series in Kadokawa Shoten's Asuka josei magazine in 2007, so Iwahara's new manga will be called Darker than BLACK: Shikkoku no Hana (Jet Black Flower) and will tell a new story. Funimation is releasing the anime in North America. An allegedly leaked production document indicated the possibility of a "Darker 2" anime from BONES and Okamura.
The May issue of Kadokawa's COMPTIQ magazine announced on April 10 that the manga artist Sorahiko Mizushima will adapt Sekina Aoi and Kira Inugami's Seitokai no Ichizon light novels in the next issue on May 9. The story revolves around the daily lives of a private high school's student council, as recorded by the council's sole male member. 10mo has been drawing an separate manga adaptation in Fujimi Shobo's Dragon Age Pure and Dragon Age magazines since last August. An television anime adaptation was announced in January.
The official website for AIC's Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari anime series has announced on Tuesday that a manga adaptation will launch in the July issue of Ichijinsha's Monthly Comic Rex magazine on June 9. In this loose Tenchi Muyo! spinoff, Kenshi Masaki is summoned to an alternate world where endless wars are fought with humanoid Seikishi weapons. A feature article on the anime will unveil some of the manga artwork in the June issue, which will ship on May 9. Animax's pay-per-view service premiered the first episode last month, and the first anime DVD will ship to Japanese retail stores next month.

Anime and American audiences
The Japanese term otaku is used in America as a term for anime fans, more particularly the obsessive ones. The negative connotations associated with the word in Japan have also been lost in its American context, where it instead connotes the pride of the fans. Only in the recent decade or so has there been a more casual viewership outside the devoted otaku fan base, which can be attributed highly

to technological advances. Also, shows like Pokémon and Dragon Ball Z provided a pivotal introduction of anime's conventions, animation methods, and Shinto influences to many American children. Because anime is highly influenced by ancient Japanese myths often deriving from the animistic nature worship of Shinto, most American audiences not accustomed to anime are wholly unfamiliar to these foreign texts and customs. For example, an average American viewing the live-action TV show Hercules will be no stranger to the Greek myths and legends it is based on, while the same person watching the show Tenchi Muyo might not understand that the pleated ropes wrapped around the "space trees" are influenced by the ancient legend of Amaterasu and Susano.[54]
It is also important to note that the Western world abandoned their ancient pagan beliefs during the middle ages, whereas Shinto has remained relatively unchanged in modern Japanese culture. Because of this, Shinto has been able to provide over eight million deities and their surrounding folklore for anime creators to utilize. A Japanese audience is thus more aware of these Shinto influences since they have existed consistently throughout Japanese society. American media creators are often confined with the most popular or basic myths to draw upon. These cultural gaps limit anime's potential impact on its foreign audience, but as anime integrates into American pop-culture the newer generations will be more in tune with anime conventions and the ideals behind Shinto.
