And here’s a preview of this month’s Kobato. anime article from Newtype:

EDIT: Bigger version of the spread can be found here and here thanks to !

There are no new information about the anime. Cast is still undecided. There are, however, the names of the producer and producer assistant, but I can’t understand the kanjis =_= Producer is Yuuji Shibata and Assistant Producer is Yuuko Sugie (couldn’t find any info on her).

I think we can expect a new article each month in Newtype from now on, I guess that’s what happens when the manga is being serialized in Newtype itself xD Good for us!

I love the image, by the way. Madhouse will not disappoint us =D
