Winter Service

Wandering snowland...

There’s really no need for me to go into the details of my January selection as hashihime has already put together some useful info on a good portion of the January premiers. It really seems I just grabbed the moe ones and hardly any shounen-style, but I expect to probably lose interest in a couple of these (just facing reality). Here’s some found in hashihime’s descripts:

  • Nodame Cantabile (watched the live-action, it’s fun)
  • Manabi Straight (cute characters, but the trailer didn’t “set-me-off”)
  • Venus Versus Virus (more anticipated)
  • Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora (more anticipated; wishing to see how if it will relate to Kannazuki no Miko, ie)

Edit: Definitely some confusion on my part, I guess I should have looked at the end dates on the anidb.info calendar, because it is totally off. My bad! ^_^, Thanks Danny n Demien for pointing this out :). Anyway, Polyphonica, Ketai Shoujo, Lucky Star, Seto no Hanayome look like Spring. Nanatsurio Drops looks like it may be further off.

I took a glance at the calendar on anidb a month ago and jotted it in because the start date was 01.01.2007. Note to self: be skeptical of dates airing from 01.01.2007 to 12.31.2007. A dead giveaway of how incorrect that calendar is could probably be seen with the Zero 2 and Higurashi 2 being listed for January, which is error all the way (though they weren’t listed a month ago). Funny thing is that going through February and March on the calendar, I really didn’t take to anything else. So I’ll change the title and remove most of those series, and blah, this post sucked. Oh well, [note kawaii snow miko instead].

Ara~~ ^_^
I was only a bit confused ^^

I guess if my Winter outlook is sparse, it is for the better. More time to keep up with Fall shows and eat up the backlog. Yaay!

Great couple of 2006

I really like seeing the takes of other bloggers running down their lists for 2006; really fun! I myself don’t feel competent enough to bring anything grand or new to the table, but I would like to remember my lust of the animation in 2006.

The Why … and Randomness

Yaay for the park!

Something has been plaguing me, a couple things, the most recent being Road Kamelot. Why? Why in the hell do I find this character swexy? Call me a fanboy, but I just want to see her do the whole lollipop wishlist on Santa’s lap thing. Strange thing is, I don’t find her that “loli”, but she is a weirdo… and I kinda dig that… weirdos! YSSS!

Zegapain :: Reality

Kaminagi... wait...

Science fiction is an interesting genre, and when a concept involves ideas which are possibly 10-20 years into in our future, I’m ready to be entranced. Fortunately, I started watching Zegapain at just the right momement, as I never had to wait for a single episode, and did not have to stream-watch the entire 26 episodes (I think the most I viewed in a day was 6-8). Its funny that I’ve had the Megami fansub since it’s been released, and even though I liked the attention it received on Random Curiosity, I never took time to check it out, but I’m quite thrilled with the turnout (of course, I have my tiffs as well).

RAWr, here my call

nyaa

I find it interesting that this is the first time I’ve embarked upon this portion of the anime world; by that I mean seasonal affairs. I’ve not been one in my few years of watching anime to keep up with weekly releases of the new digs. There are sweets and bitters to this habit, but I don’t find it tidious to keep up with 7-9 or however many shows week to week (except of course if one was to fall behind a couple weeks O_O). Truthfully, I find it much more difficult to pace with an entire series en totale. So why the hell does this matter, well seasonal weekly releases are going to air no matter what, but they do not always get subbed, and so lies the grey area of watching raws [when not of native speaking level].
