http://www.animenano.com/ An anime blog aggregator and community. en-us ↩[LWC 59] Because embedding is acting pretty stupid. This song is pretty nice anyway. In fact, there is a lot of “Irish” music in Natsu no Sora. I don’t really know if it’s classifiable as “Irish”, though this is perhaps a stylized music as its flows through cultures and receives the influence of various composers and [...] Thu, 21 Aug 2008 18:56:35 -0000 http://calamitousintents.wordpress.com/2008/08/21/lwc-60-musings-in-anime-music-15-bgm-in-natsu-no-sora/   I’d watch it. Impressions: Well, as far as athletic festival episodes go, this one was pretty run of the mill, only shorter than most. You had every possible cliche that I’ve come to expect from an anime athletics festival episode, the bizarre opening speech, someone in a cheerleader outfit, people wondering why they chant a [...] Thu, 21 Aug 2008 18:46:42 -0000 http://blog.seiha.org/?p=1210 [AQS] Mahou Sensei Naruto ch219 I’m only posting this because of the hilarious amount of time between this and AQS’s last release. Like 1.5 months, I think? Anyway this chapter is really bad. Negi uses THE POWER OF THE DARKNESS IN HIS SOUL (or something) to beat up a bunch of guys for like 15 pages. While [...] Thu, 21 Aug 2008 18:41:39 -0000 http://tsukuru.info/b/?p=123 You can watch it here. And on a side note: finally, wordpress puts in more picture functions. Oh, and also, beware the picture. IT IS HUGE. Thu, 21 Aug 2008 18:15:56 -0000 http://calamitousintents.wordpress.com/2008/08/21/new-higurashi-trailers-out/ I got prompted to do this post because I had to check a potential licensing infringement today at work. We thought that titles on an unexecuted contract had been airing even though the contract hadn’t technically been signed yet. Turns out that everything was actually OK, because nothing had come into license yet [...] Thu, 21 Aug 2008 18:13:14 -0000 http://www.minaidehazukashii.com/?p=727 It has emerged that Microsoft’s saviour RPG, Tales of Vesperia, incorporates downloadable content in a heretofore unseen manner: in fact you can simply eschew playing the game entirely and shell out points/Yen on Marketplace to obtain the money and gold, in a brazen imitation of classic MMORPG gold farming, except without the Chinese or eBay. Some [...] Thu, 21 Aug 2008 18:09:11 -0000 http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2008/08/22/vesperia-buy-levels-gold-on-marketplace/ So I decided to stop by Bandai Entertainment's official Code Geass site today, and stumbled upon a character popularity poll. Getting fans involved is good. Getting fans who have only seen about two episodes involved might give you misleading results, though. The top two most popular characters in the poll were Prince Clovis in first and Rivalz in second. Seriously? The results almost make it Thu, 21 Aug 2008 18:08:48 -0000 http://otaben.blogspot.com/2008/08/code-geass-most-popular-character.html A classmate of mine in Japanese class wanted me to start off with some manga reading so that he could put his Japanese reading skills to the practise, as well as to slightly improve his vocabulary. Since I attend Japanese lessons twice a week and the main Kinokuniya Branch’s just down the road, I usually make [...] Thu, 21 Aug 2008 17:58:31 -0000 http://www.furuanimepanikku.com/2008/08/22/introducing-manga/ According to the preview at BOST, they collect figurines in anime predicated upon figurines (official screencap is below). The audacity of merchandizing in GONZO beats the Geass Pizza Hut. Thu, 21 Aug 2008 17:18:14 -0000 http://ani-nouto.animeblogger.net/2008/08/21/merchanize-witches-08/ So, after reading that Taishou Yakyuu Musume (which, by the way, I had not heard about prior to this point) is getting an anime adaptation, I became instantly overwhelmed with completely, utterly baseless and unjustified hype for it. Let me break it down for you: Taishou (大正): Historical fiction! My history major blood is a-boil with [...] Thu, 21 Aug 2008 17:14:48 -0000 http://animegeijitsu.wordpress.com/2008/08/21/taishou-yakyuu-musume-baseless-anticipation-post/
