| 12:13pm | sola licensed by Bandai Visual USA | | | | Oh man, so it’s finally happened. sola has been licensed, and by no other than Bandai Visual USA. Announced on ANN, I can only be both excited, yet also disappointed in this kind of news. I think it’s great that a series such as sola has been licensed, but the fact that it has been licensed... | | |
| 6:29am | Sola vs. ef: Faces |  | | | Owen noticed a few minutes ago at IRC that sola and ef share the character designer. Indeed, the resemblance is there, especially en-face, like Chihiro above. The main difference (and again, I only saw one episode and Astro says that the art improves) is that of implementation. Closeups were good; the... | | |

| 10:48pm | Sola’s licensed (maybe) | | | | Apparently, Sola is picked by Bandai Visual, as reported by Beta Waffle. I hated sola’s art in the first episode, although Astro wrote: “the animation quality has actually improved with every episode, and there are times where it is absolutely stunning”. Why didn’t they start... | | |
| 10:16pm | Bandai Visual Licence Sola | | | | At least, they appear to have given they now have a place holder site up (thanks to AoD forums for the link). A combination of the fact that the show falls outside my usual sphere of interest, the limited availability of BV titles at retail (at least for those like me who’d be looking to | | |
| 6:42pm | Wallpaper Week Day 6 | | | | In many other posts I’ve already stated how much I love sola, so I guess it isn’t really necessary to repeat it here once again. Punchline is that it’s just one of the best animes for me and luckily there is much of beautiful artwork available on the all mighty thing called internet.... | | |
| 3:03pm | Spring Season Preview | | | | Incidentally, this is my 1600th post, so I thought that it would a good time for the upcoming spring-season preview, and the line-up is looking quite interesting. There are a lot of science-fiction series, and no hentai-game adaptations at all. That’s probably the first since years now. Apart... | | |

I find it unsurprising that Lucky Star was nominated most, with a total of 7 nominations. Darker than BLACK followed with 5, while Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and Death Note both had 3 each. I gotta vote Minami-ke though, since the three sisters, and later the three brothers…they’re... | | |
| 11:01am | AnimeSuki 2007 Choice Awards - Winners | | | | You can read what this shakedown was all about in one of my previous entries.

This time, it’s a question about which show you think has the best character designs (visually). My personal favourite would be sola, but only because of Matsuri. I’d have to say the same for the next poll as well (best character... | | |

| 6:35pm | Remedial Anime Awards, January 2008 | | | | I realised that I have not made a single post in this blog throughout January. Minus the resolutions for 2008 post which was meant for the whole year round, I had written nothing else regarding animes.
