I dropped in at Newsarama, and posted some thoughts on the twenty-second (!) volume of Yellow Tanabe’s supernatural action series Kekkaishi.  I love this series, and it always gets moved to the top of the TBR pile whenever a new volume arrives.  Click here for the review.

The series is about a 14-year-old boy in modern-day Japan who is part of a clan of "kekkaishi," or barrier-users, who protect the area from a variety of monsters. (Quick Japanese lesson! If you've listened to InuYasha in Japanese, you're probably familiar with the word "kekkai," or barrier. And the "shi" in Kekkaishi is 師, which is the same "shi" in Mushishi-- whose title means master of the mushi! So, "Kekkaishi" is literally "master of the barrier.") I'm honestly a little surprised-- first because the anime is a couple of years old in Japan, where most of the stuff that runs on Adult Swim is a little newer or even currently airing in Japan. But more than that...I don't know Kekkaishi to be all that violent or sexual in nature. Why is it on Adult Swim? I guess it's just because there's no Toonami now? Mind, I'm not complaining; I'm glad to see more anime on TV. Besides, I've only seen a little bit of Kekkaishi-- maybe some of you know it better? VIZ has been releasing the manga for quite some time; is it darker than I think?

Kekkaishi We may have a little bit of advance notice on a Comic-Con announcement (or not), but Fanboy Review claims that a dub for the anime adaptation of the Kekkaishi manga is in the works. It's a Shogakukan title, and VIZ already has the manga, so it would be easy to assume that they'd get it-- on the other hand, D.Gray-Man was a Shueisha title, but FUNimation nabbed the anime, so who knows. Besides, I had an interesting conversation about shows that were dubbed and subbed in anticipation of licenses that never actually came out, so even if FR's s00per l33t insider info IS correct, that doesn't necessarily mean the show's definitely been picked up.FR has this mysterious note, also, saying that “based on some further information, I believe the license holder to be Viz or a company that we don’t traditionally think of as an anime company, but that isn’t confirmed (officially OR unofficially.)”I'm not at all sure I'd call VIZ someone we “don't traditionally think of as an anime company,” but there are certainly a few that I can think of-- Sony, for example.Anyway, we'll see if/how this pans out.
