| 7:28pm | Strike Witches 1: A Panty Galore Moment in Anime | | | | And that’s just within one sequence of a minute and thirty seconds—a panty-in-your-face shot per every six seconds—before the title page is shown:Now the real fun begins.I can so totally see it: In some episode, in some pointless battle scene, some loli is gonna ripped her panty apart... |

| 6:57pm | Happy 4th of July to you! |  | | | What do you have planned for this 4th of July? As for me, nothing special really, I won’t be celebrating in any significant fashion. There’s a reason for that and it brings me to an important point. There are no American writers in here that are available to write up this anniversary post.... |
| 6:27pm | …..And Funi Finds themselves #1 in a weekend. |  | | | In one weekend, Funi just got a heck of a lot bigger. Yesterday, Funi got into an agreement with Geneon, being able to become the Savior to a bunch of unfinished titles, and bring out a bunch of OOP titles. Now, Funi has also entered a deal with the ARMS group, bringing titles that used |
| 6:00pm | Completed: Watashi no Messiah-sama |  | | | Another manga completed. I’m on a reading spree lately, due to the lack of interesting shows to follow. Correspondingly, the scanlation scene also seems to be quite more active lately too. Anyways, Watashi no Messiah-sama was a title I picked solely on the basis of it’s interesting title... |
| 5:41pm | A little update on Funimation, Geneon, and ADV | | | | I apologize to gia, but I think it will just be easier to quote from her post: Fukunaga is now talking about FUNi’s major coup d’etats: the 10+ Geneon titles and the 32 ADV titles (Gen says 34– are there more to hear about? Hm). Moving into questions…Will you go with box sets for the new titles?... | | |
| 5:13pm | Funimation takes over anime, aquires THIRTY ADV Titles | | | | I’m guessing this is all part of the fallout between ADV and their licensing partner Sojitz as many of the titles on this list were on the list of suspended shows in February:009-1Ah! My Goddess: Flights of FancyAir GearAir: The MovieAir TVBlade of the Phantom MasterComic Party: RevolutionCoyote... | | |
| 4:05pm | Sekirei Episode 1- Boobs and Pokemon |  | | | Pikachu, I choose you! Well the first anime episode started off just as uninspiring as the beginning of the manga did, except they weren’t allowed to show nipples on TV =/ For those uninitiated this is a show about a Pokemon/108 Stars of Destiny harem where all the girls (save for one loli) have... | | |

| 3:29pm | Remember those ADV titles on Hiatus? | | | | Funimation has them. Funimation has ALL OF THEM. This basically makes Funimation practically the entire R1 anime industry right now.I’m not entirely sure this is a good thing - if they are going to be re-authoring them, I’m willing to bet their releases of the likes of Pani Poni and Nerima... |
| 3:21pm | Slayers Revolution - We’ve Missed You, Lina | | | | It seems Lina missed us too. Unfortunately, now she has a chance to aim.There is nothing else I can say about the much-awaited fourth season of Slayers that has not been said before, whether by myself or by other more worthy luminaries. I don’t think I can give a fair and unbiased view of the ... |
| 2:53pm | Ultraviolet Code 044 - 01 | | | | Naked Chicks, flashbacks and a rather broken plot. Impressions Gathering from the Wikipedia plot of the orginal Ultraviolet movie, I can see how this might not translate well into the anime. Visually, Ultraviolet is quite good the use of Multiframe scenes Pic1 is quite interesting and visually appealing.... |
| 2:37pm | A Normal Tale About Our Next Generation’s Bleak Future |  | | | For the summer, I work with kids. Not this type of kid. No kid is ever as pure or as cute as Yotsuba, but there are some cute ones and some devil ones. But no, I’m not going to recount a horror story with one of them -there are plenty like when a kid got hit by a golf club-. This is more tame.This... |
| 2:00pm | Web Stats for June 2008 | | | | June was another rather slow month, largely due to sporadic posting until the last full week or so of the month. Hopefully we’ll start seeing some improvements next month now that I’m back to a somewhat regular posting schedule. In any case, the numbers are below the fold Change in May... | | |
