| 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!

| 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... | | |
| 11:33pm | Strike Witches: First Impression (or, What horror has Gonzo Wrought?) | | | | OK, since BOST TV actually allowed PC sized downloads of their series, I thought I would check out the first episode of Strike Witches. Now I kind of wish I didn’t as both my ears and eyes may never be the same again. First off, the best way to describe Strike Witches is probably Sky Girls meets... | | |
| 10:18pm | ADV Update: It ain’t lookin good for Kanon, NHK, et. al. | | | | It’s hard to tell how much trouble ADV is in, but apparently ADV has had a falling out with their licensing parter Sojitz which, from the sound of it, effectively makes the four titles announced yesterday technically unlicensed for the time being. The fact that the ADV rep at their Sneak Peak... | | |
| 8:45pm | Anime Expo Industry Panel Schedule | | | | OK, I know AX has already started, and I’m not there in LA (whaaa! It’s my goal in life to, at least once in my life, make the cross-country trip to AX), but in any case, here is the schedule for the industry panels there: July 4th 11:00am - 12:00pm: Aurora Publishing 12:00 - 1:00pm: Viz... |
| 8:05pm | Strike Witches: Crunchyroll vs. BOST TV Round 2! | | | | In the first round of the Crunchyroll vs. BOST TV battles, it seems to me that Crunchyroll had a clear advantage over BOST TV. While BOST had a better quality stream of the video, you had to pay to see it while, at the same time, you could “donate” as little as $0.01 to download a PC resolution... | | |
| 5:55pm | Now for the bad news: ADV releases ‘Suspended Indefinitely’ …again | | | | I hope this thing doesn’t go on 4 or 5 month cycles or whatever. From Robert’s Anime Corner blog: I just got the word this morning from ADV that the following new releases have been ’suspended indefinitely’: Shattered Angels , Vol #2 DVD Shattered Angels , Vol #2 DVD w Art Box... | | |

| 6:59pm | Summer 2008: Blogging and Watching Series | | | | So, in a shock to no one who read my Summer Review, I’m going to blog the series Someday’s Dreamers: Summer Skies. I liked the first Someday’s Dreamers, and it was really the only series which really caught my attention this season. And since I was only planning on picking up one... | | |

| 12:09am | Shion no Ō - Episode 21 | | | | It’s Shion no O episode 21, and given that this episode’s title is “The True Criminal,” what happens in this episode should be pretty self explanatory Go Straight to the Screenshots | Go Straight to the ReviewShion briefly ponders if Hani-meijin is the murderer after he repeats... |
