Anime: Hakuouki Hekketsuroku postponed  
... for 2 days. Announced in the official twitter here & here.
The soonest would be October 4th, 9:30 AM (Tokyo time).
So don't stay up late waiting for raws on Oct 2nd. There won't be one until Oct 4th. ;)
All other TV stations scheduled to air Hakuouki Hekketsuroku earlier will air a special program "Memories in Kyoto" (recaps of season 1) instead.
Only AT-X will show "Memories in Kyoto" at 9AM & 9PM, followed by the first episode on 9:30AM & 9:30PM.

Hakuouki Hekketsuroku would run for 10+2 episodes. No info on what the "10+2" (rather than "12") exactly means. This is given by TOKYO MX TV station, according to the fans that called the TV stations to confirm the air date.


Some pics from Otome Anime magazine. Screenshots are from the first 2 episodes.

BTW, there'll be a Hakuouki-only shop at ACOS Ikebukuro on Oct 21~31, featuring:
 ① Displaying: life size panels of Shinsengumi (the main 5) and Kazama, signatures from the cast, Reimeiroku PV, and other Hakuouki cosplay costumes.
 ② Taking photos with the panals while wearing Chizuru's costume. (Fees apply.)
 ③ First visitors get a free promotional card of Harada Sanosuke. (While supplies last.)
 ④ Lottery for Hakuouki merchandise. 1st prize = Chizuru costume. (¥300 per draw.)
If you happen to be in Japan during this time, don't miss it!
And take some pictures for us too. :D (If photography is allowed.)

you can't stop me now: saitou[info]piratelicker on September 30th, 2010 01:50 am (UTC)
+2 ? I guess, 2 extra episodes that's won't be shown during the actual broadcast time... available from the dvd only?

This info was given by the TV station. So these 2 episodes should be on TV too, or the TV station wouldn't be informed of it.

I think it's likely that the main story ends in 10 episodes, leaving 2 more for something else... such as alternative ending for Okita, Saitou, Toudou, and Harada routes!! XD (Hey, I can dream!)

I'll dream with you on this -- maybe we can make it come true if we dream hard enough! That would be a great way to end things!

*shake hands*

I'm hoping they will animate more stuff from Zuisouroku... But alternative endings? I would so die for Souji's! And thank you for the info!
31101♥[info]tokio_fujita on September 30th, 2010 05:42 pm (UTC)
Hmm... Since in the second season it's almost impossible to add anymore Zuisouroku events (except for Hijikata's), using extra episodes for it would be nice too. :D

ikebukuro...gosh, i'm so envious of people staying there now ><

31101♥[info]tokio_fujita on September 30th, 2010 05:45 pm (UTC)
Me too. Especially when the anime is on air, there will be all kinds of interesting events. >
Hollikins[info]travertineskies on September 30th, 2010 11:00 am (UTC)
Thank you so much for the news and saving me some heartache from not knowing what was going on. xD

Ohhh man I get hit with the desire to live in Japan soooo often I wanna go to the event thing. xDDD

*wants to go to Japan too*

Now I countdown to see episode 1 ^ ^
This season have 10 or 12 episodes in exactly? Maybe they put 2 special episodes, I guess.
31101♥[info]tokio_fujita on September 30th, 2010 05:47 pm (UTC)
The total should be 12 episodes, but main storyline may end at 10. Judging from the spoilers given, 2nd season seems to be fast paced, so 10 episodes should be just right. :)
czesc_fr: Yakumo[info]czesc_fr on September 30th, 2010 08:43 pm (UTC)
Thanks for the infos. i would love it if they animate some of the cd dramas. It would be hilarious ^_^
And I just noticed in one of the pics, there's the blood scene with Hijikata-san!!!! I couldn't be any happier. I so wanted to see it animated. YEAH for them taking Hijikata-san's route (^_____^)y
31101♥[info]tokio_fujita on October 3rd, 2010 03:51 pm (UTC)
You're welcome~♪
I can't wait to see the blood scene in animated too. :D
Aerysa: hijikata[info]aerysa on September 30th, 2010 09:04 pm (UTC)
+2 sounds like two special endings/episodes. But either way, can't wait to see what happens next!! Thanks so much for the update/info and the lovely new pictures! :D

Thanks for giving me something to look forward to this weekend. XD It'll still be Sunday for me when the first episode airs in Japan, so I reeeeeeally can't wait to watch it.

That picture of Souji is tragically and deliciously sexy...

Thanks again!
31101♥[info]tokio_fujita on October 3rd, 2010 04:00 pm (UTC)
You're welcome~♪
Souji becomes so sexy this season. :D *points to the new opening*

Thank you so much for all the info and the pics! <3
That illust of Saitou and Hijikata under the moonlight is killing me with prettiness.
I'm wondering what that cryptic 10+2 episodes means too... It would be awesome if it was really some drama cd (hopefully the crack ones) or maybe two extended SSL episodes.
31101♥[info]tokio_fujita on October 3rd, 2010 04:10 pm (UTC)
You're welcome~♪
That illust is so beautiful that I want to buy the book just for it.
But next month's B's Log & Dengeki Girl's Style both have Reimeiroku on cover (illust by Kazuki Yone too), and there's preorder for Hakuouki calender... so hard to decide. XD

Aw, it's too bad that it's being delayed for a couple of days. I guess my anticipation will have to last a bit longer. I wish I could be in Japan for those events. T_T I also wonder what the 10+2 means. I'm among the group that hopes it's an animated version of the drama CDs. Thanks for posting the pictures too. They look awesome. ^_^
31101♥[info]tokio_fujita on October 3rd, 2010 04:14 pm (UTC)
You're welcome~♪
Hope they have some good plans up their sleeve for these two episodes. XD

I've got a feeling that the "+2 episodes" are the recapped episodes aired before the second season official episodes.
31101♥[info]tokio_fujita on October 3rd, 2010 03:41 am (UTC)
From official twitter:
"The recap will not effect the number of episodes in the second season. Don't worry."
natsu_pi[info]natsu_pi on October 1st, 2010 06:31 pm (UTC)

You're welcome~♪
The art style seems to changed a bit for this season. *is happy*
The way they draw Saitou in first season sometime makes me want to say, "Gilbert, you're in the wrong studio. Pandora Hearts is filming next door." XD
natsu_pi[info]natsu_pi on October 4th, 2010 05:33 am (UTC)
lol! gilbert! yeah! his hair look too curly than it should be. and i think he made less appearance (as well as cuteness XDD) in season 1.
season 2 ftw!!!!!!
