| 5:58pm | Yen Press To Start Anthology Magazine on July 29th |  | | | Yen Press announced at NYCC that they will be starting their Yen Plus (or Yen+?) manga anthology on July 29th. They have acquired the Higurashi manga, Nabari no Ou, Soul Eater, Bamboo Blade, and Sumomomo Momomo to serialize in their magazine, with tankobon coming in early 2009.Shonen Jump and Shojo Beat... | | |
| 4:55pm | NYCC08: Yen Press | | | | It’ll be a minute before they actually get going, but here shall be the post. Not that you care about my state, doubtless, but I’m hungry– these three-panel-in-a-row deals are fun but a little rough on the meal schedules. Hokay, the usual team: Rich Johnson, Kurt Hassler, someone... | | |
| 11:01am | End of Winter Season '08 | | | | This season trned out to be better then I expected. It offered the conclusion of Hayate and Bamboo Blade, Shigofumi and Ookami, which were very good, as well as, the second part of Mokke, Shana and Magica. I should also mention the two series that existed for the sole purpose of fanservice: Shitsuji... | | |
| 4:18am | First Look Fair’s Shoujo Special: Itazura na Kiss and Special A |  | | | This certainly seems to be the season for the return of shoujo romance and other female-oriented anime (i.e., BL in Junjou Romantica and vampires), after a good long run of shounen romances for the past two seasons. How are two of the most prominent ones stacking up so far? Itazara na Kiss This really... | | |
| 5:35pm | Slow-down |  | | | I’m busy with various things, so anime is taking a back seat. The only reason I finished Hourglass OVA was that it only had 2 episodes. I have a growing in-progress pile: rentals of 12K (damn you Nick) and Patlabor (my own find! so proud), last volume of Jubei-chan (damn you J.P.), fansubs of... | | |
| 12:25pm | Hayate no Gotoku! Eyecatches | | | | With the end of Hayate no Gotoku season 1, I figured it would be nice to do the exact same thing I did for Bamboo Blade and release all the eyecatches for episodes 1-51. Just like Bamboo Blade, these are screen capped from the 720p raws, but since there were so many I didn’t bother editing any... | | |
| 5:57pm | Welcome Back, Lovely Hanazawa Kana! | | | | Everyone knows the bestest best seiyuu in the whole wide world, including Mars and Venus, is the delectably cute Hanazawa "Kyoooorrrrr-chan" Kana right? If you were not aware of this fact, do take note right now. Also, if you fucking google her name, MY SITE COMES IN SECOND PLACE. This shows... | | |
| 11:25am | Bamboo Blade Eyecatches | | | | Over the course of the series we see an eyecatch just after the Preview. Do you normally call the eyecatches? Well since I was downloading the 720p raws I figured it would be nice to have them all in one post and here they are: If you want the 1280 x 720 versions you can download the ZIP here. A select... | | |
| 5:00am | Bamboo Blade 25 |  | | | Summary: It’s time for the 35th Shoryuuji HS Tournament, and the place is packed. Everyone registers for individual matches, and Satori is immediately eliminated by a motivated Tamaki. Miyako, on the other hand, finally tastes success by turtling until Carrie makes a mistake. It turns out... | | |
| 11:53pm | Bamboo Blade 24 | | | | Summary: Everyone starts getting emo and skipping out on kendo practice, leaving the boys and the Sa-girls to pick up the pieces. Kirino wants to take the fall by resigning, but Sayako refuses to make out with her until she comes up with a better plan. Tamaki gets a flat tire, and Yuuji is able to... | | |
| 2:43pm | Mmm, Sacrelicious Manga | | | | So I open my eyes this morning, grab my laptop off the foot of the bed, flip it open, and what’s practically the first thing I see? This post by Rob over at Topless Robot, about a new manga series titledLet’s BIBLE! (except the exclamation point is drawn as a little cross). Before you... | | |
| 5:00am | Bamboo Blade 23 | | | | Summary: Tamaki has to shamefully tell her dead mom about the loss to SHINAIgirl, and Miyako lies to get out of kendo practice. Morale has really dropped, and Tamaki has reverted to how she was prior to joining the club. As if things couldn’t get any worse, Toraji learns that parents are calling... | | |
| 6:03pm | Impressions on Bamboo Blade: A Strange Band of Bravers |  | | | Written by TheBigN It’s funny how a lack of knowledge can help or hurt me, and it also shows how easily I can be swayed. When I first heard of the premise for Bamboo Blade, I thought it wasn’t something that would interest me much compared to what else was shown (Fall 07′ was a pretty... | | |
| 9:33pm | To the end of… | | | | Bamboo BladeI’m not that much into sport animes and I watched the first few Bamboo Blade episodes only because I had a bit too much free time at that moment. The quality is quite good after all and girls with swords always catch my interest, even if those swords only made of bamboo. Well, didn’t... | | |
| 7:30am | Bamboo Blade ruined by its last two episodes | | | | Bamboo Blade has been a really fun series. Perhaps something I wouldn’t normally watch on my own because it’s a sports anime but I saw images from the show and what not so I decided to give it a try and it actually ended up to being worth while. Although, maybe not as awesome as I hoped... | | |
