| 8:30pm | Itsuki Yui and Fairy Empire -- Kurokami ED | | | | One of the Japanese groups I enjoy is Yousei Teikoku 妖精帝國 "Fairy Empire," the two-person unit featuring sometime-seiyuu Itsuki Yui.

| 5:44am | ゴア・スクリーミング・ショウ ver. 初音ミク |  | | | When I found this I was amazed~! I never thought I’d see Distorted Pain (originally Karen of Yousei Teikoku who is awesome and has done songs for Venus Versus Virus and Innocent Venus, among others) sung by Hatsune Miku. But even if the game isn’t that popular, this song is. I can’t... | | |
| 9:07pm | ADV Correction: Robotech, Council Still On, 5cm Still Off | | | | ANN got a correction today from ADV, who now declare that its Best Student Council and Robotech releases are still on the map.

| 11:35am | What About The Geneon Remainders? | | | | I promise this will be the last notebook photo for a long while. Amidst the flurry of distribution acquisitions by Funimation a weekend ago, there were a number of series that did not show up on those lengthy lists. The focus of the partnership with Geneon was to continue releases that were halted during... | | |

| 3:57pm | Japan Expo: an otaku’s paradise, just across the channel. | | | | Last weekend I was invited to attend the ninth Japan Expo at the Parc d’Expositions de Paris-Nord Villepinte. When I first read the names of the mangaka and anime artists who were appearing at Japan Expo this year, I had to pinch myself. Because the team who organize Japan Expo had accumulated a... | | |
| 6:55pm | 5cm Per Second, Innocent Venus get the axe | | | | In more fun for ADV films, they have announced the discontinuation of 4 more titles: 5 Centimeters Per Second, Best Student Council, Innocent Venus, and Robotech. ADV has not said whether they were also licensed by Sojitz like the 32 other titles that they lost or not, though I wouldn’t be surprised... | | |

| 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?... | | |

| 7:24am | Impressions: Air, Haruhi, Kurau and Innocent Venus | | | | Yeah, so I've watched a lot of stuff lately, most of which I could do something longer on, but I thought I'd just run through my impressions on them. Air (TV) – This is one of those shows where there was a lot that I liked and some stuff I didn't. I didn't have a horrible time with the fairly lacksidasical... | | |

| 8:25am | El Cazador de la Bruja 25-26: What… that’s it? |  | | | Okay, I don’t know what the heck to say about this. My mouth is just hanging. I was stuck in university without anime for about two months so I was highly anticipating the last few episodes of the series I have been following and as for El Cazador that’s it? Well, I still won’t change... | | |
