Madhouse have released the first trailer for their upcoming Spring 2013 anime series Photo Kano. The series is an adaptation of the PlayStation Portable dating sim game of the same name, focusing in on a high school student who takes pictures of his female classmates and wins their hearts in the process.

The new trailer also reveals Photo Kano’s opening theme song which is Hayatokaori’s song called ‘Koisuru Lens’. Main character Hiromichi Kudo narrates the trailer seeming very excited at the prospect of photographing cute girls.

Photo Kano premieres in Japan on April 4th. It looks like this will be a great series if you’re a photographer desperately clinging to hope that taking photos of girls will make them lust for you like a bunch of sex-addicted harlequins. It also looks like a pretty decent harem series in general you can see for yourself in the trailer below.

Neverwinter-Devoted-Cleric-Screenshot-01

Neverwinter is home to many forms of adventurers. While some prefer mastering a single weapon or keeping to the shadows, others are fully devoted to their god’s cause. Such is the life of the Devoted Cleric. An intelligent spellweaver that conjures both restorative and damaging spells to aid companions in combat, the Devoted Cleric makes for an excellent leader on the everlasting battlegrounds of Faerûn. Any party should be fortunate to have this class present for not only restorative means but also to repel many dark creatures that plague the Material Plane.

To see the Devoted Cleric in action, look at the montage trailer below for Neverwinter Online in-game footage. Tell us what you think of this character class in the comments section below. To learn more about the Devoted Cleric click (here).

Vividred’s PS3 game officially named Vividred Operation: Hyper Intimate Power

vividred-operation-Hyper-Intimate-Power-scan

Today the latest issue of Dengeki PlayStation revealed that the official name for the upcoming Vividred Operation video game adaptation is Vividred Operation: Hyper Intimate Power. The game will be available as a digital title only and will be released in Japan on June 20th.

As you can see in the scan above (click image for slightly larger version) the game looks like it will feature all of the different girls from the anime, including the “Docked” forms that appear whenever Akane and one of her friends join together. Also shown in the scan is the mayonnaise based mini-game that was already released on the PSN for 300 yen.

Vividred-Operation-Akane-to-Mayo- (1)

Looks like we were caught off guard a bit here. Remember those Trophies that were revealed for that upcoming Vividred Operation video game from Namco Bandai? Well it turns out those were indeed Trophies for a Vividred game, but not for the main adaptation. Instead they were Trophies for a spin-off mini  game that is actually called Vividred Operation: Akane to Mayo to Operation.

As you can see from these screenshots, the game is very much a basic mini-game that only actually costs 300 yen on the Japanese PlayStation Network. The game was developed by Namco Bandai and it looks like the game itself mostly involves playing as Akane and just covering food with an entire bottle of mayonnaise.
