| 5:08am | Gemini Knives novel 2 | | | | I've been doing some more digging on the 2nd novel, since it was not listed on Amazon, and as soon as I turn something up elsewhere it suddenly appears on Amazon anyway..The title is 「ジェミニ・ナイヴ '女たちの遊戯盤」, which translates to something like "Gemini Knives: |
| 2:41am | Gigantic Formula | | | | A site has opened for a new show called Kishin Taisen Gigantic Forumula (機神大戦 ギガンティック・フォ ーミュラ), with the subtitle "Apo Mekhanes Theos" meaning Deus ex machina (i.e. God from the machine) in Greek.

| 10:45pm | Negima 16 LE | | | | The LE version of the Negima! manga vol. 16 was here when I got home from work yesterday and the extras included are fairly cool, and are all from the new Negima!? anime and manga. First off is Asuna's Armour Card (I'm referring to these as Neo Pactio cards to distinguish from the old Pactio | | |
| 7:53am | Negima!? Spring Special!? | | | | Well, I watched this last night and the DVD itself arrived this morning. Points of interest:Despite being based on a story from the original manga, it has the question mark from the neo manga and 2nd anime.The rough storyline is taken direct from the manga but been tweaked; the reason for Negi and | | |

| 2:30am | Kiddy Grade season 2? | | | | There's been reports (or, at least one report on Moonphase that other people are commenting on) about a second series for Kiddy Grade. The original source was something Aya Hirano said during the 35th Suzumiya Haruhi radio programme, now online on the SOS Radio Shibu page (KG2 is mentioned about 24 | | |
| 5:45am | Negima Dub | | | | Well while I've heard bits about the dub from trailers and heard accounts of it from others I've got my hands on the actual product for the frst time today. Let me say straight away that, whatever people think of the actual product, the packaging is exceptional. The box is simply the best I've |
| 8:22pm | Gotoh lives! | | | | It's been quiet on the Gotoh front, nothing tangible since the Gemini Knives book - no posters in Megami for example - and no updates to his site for ages, but he's suddenly added a new top image (of Yurika) and set up a new blog.Can't actually read any of it on my current machine (not that my |
| 5:18am | Higurashi no naku koro ni 14 | | | | Only just started watching the ep but wanted to jot down some notes. This will probably end up as another of my stream-of-consciousness style things, so gomen. | | |
| 7:51pm | The Novel | | | | The novel arrived this morning. It contains all the chapters printed in Megami, although they've Engrished the titles for some reason, e.g. "Swiming Cloth" and "Porker Face" - I checked in the first relevant copy of Megami I could find before I left for work and "Poker Face" was definitely |
| 3:34am | Gemini Knives Novel | | | | There's has not been an installment of Gemimi Knives in the last couple of volumes of Megami that made their way over to me, in fact the last volume didn't even have a poster, but it looks like a novel has been out for a while without me realising |
| 4:04am | Negima DVD Magic 7 | | | | I didn't spot any changes in the final two episodes so instead, I'll post comparisons of the changes in hair colour from the original OP to the final version. |
| 8:14am | New Gocky books | | | | I've just discovered that not one, but two new Gocky Club doujins were released at the recent Comiket (Which makes three this year!). Both appear to be about Uta Kata, and I'm trying to get myself copies of both from Yahoo Auctions since Comiket Service hasn't uploaded anything new yet and the |
| 8:56am | Negima DVD 6 changes | | | | I'v only notices one little change on the 6th DVD in episode 24, and not only is it impossible to call an improvement, it's impossible to understand why it was changed - Konoka is reading a letter and, in the TV version her eyes scan the page but in the DVD version they do not move.
