Winter Season 2009-2010

Hey guys, it’s that time again.

That’s right! A new season is coming out soon! Hopefully the shows this season have less on bouncing boobs and more brain friendly material.

Currently the highlights are:

Hot loli bad ass seductress? Give!

Dance in the Vampire Bund: Another Shaft piece of work. The preview have promised us action and violence. Shaft have often delivered very well done scenes (when they do actually finish and not run out of time) and their choices in works are often… unique to say the least. This one is about a vampire who managed to pay off Japan’s national debt in return for a haven for vampires. However, before the press conference, she was attacked by a terrorist group.

Interesting art style. Do like! I just hope the production house doesn't screw it up

Durarara!: Made by the creator of Baccano! If some of you never watched Baccano before, watch it! A beautifully woven storyline with a multitude of characters seemed to be the speciality of this writer. I just hope that the music is as good as Baccano. Unlike Baccano, this one is set in modern day Tokyo. Looking forward to the headless Irish fairy.

Here’s the current chart:

Bakemonogatari and Intimacy

Staplers~

Well, it’s been a long while, but I felt like writing. : P

When I went through the trailer for last season. Two things caught my eye. One is, of course, Canaan (because I’m a TM Otaku) and the other is Bakemonogatari. The trailer was strange in that it didn’t have very much of the anime itself in it, but rather Shaft kanjis, yet the mysterious air that surrounds it brought me in immediately. And then Senjougahara appeared. If anything, I’m a sucker for character design. If a girl can look beautiful and gar at the same time, then I’m probably sold in watching the show. And during that time that was all it had. Yet it proceeded all expectation and became the top anime of the season amongst 2channers.

However, what was it that made it so good?

A Random Dose of Not So Live Reporting

G-Good day, this is Momizi, a colleague of mercspy. She is currently indisposed of due to certain circumstances involving Komachi-san and Yamaxanadu-sama. Aya-san has ordered me to take up her slack until she returns, so here are some of the news mercspy has gathered:

Guess who is back?

Yup, it’s Haruhi second season! Sankaku has confirmed this and I’m damn hyper about it!

It seems that first second season episode is the Bamboo Leaf Rhaspody, I don’t know anything about it since I never read the light novel but I know its going to be

Legen-

wait for it…

-DARY! LEGENDARY!

Now, I am going to sleep while waiting for the (speed) sub!

Twins and Sugars

After finishing the screening of Ga-Rei Zero for the WWWA (University of Melbourne’s anime club) friday mini-marathon, I scrambled up to the library room to seize a random show to put on for the next 2 hours left before the supposed end of the mini-marathon. Shuffling through my ‘watched’ list to search for a light anime, I found an anime that I have watched a few years back. Futakoi Alternative.

Better than the original, BY FAR!

Kara no Kyoukai

Much to the delight of yumekki (and some others), no doubt, the official site of Kara no Kyoukai has announced that Kara no Kyoukai 7 will be released in theatre in August whereas the 6th DVD of Kara no Kyoukai will finally see daylight on the 29th July.

Pani Poni Dash! OVA

So let’s be honest, this is not a review, merely an excuse to post what makes Shaft… well… Shaft. It wouldn’t be Shaft without ‘em.

This isn't what I ordered!

絶望した!

Zetsubou shita! The TIME Magazine’s World’s Most Influential Person has left me in despair! I kid you not, fellow readers, it’s moot, the founder of 4chan, with Anwar Ibrahim being the runner up! What is this- I don’t even- I’m left utterly speechless by this. To quote the article: “To put the magnitude of the upset in perspective, it’s worth noting that everyone moot beat out actually has a job.” Article can be found here.

4KOMA! #1: GOOD FRIDAY!

Based on true story btw~

It sucks when you forget Good Friday…at least I went to church in the next day for Easter

Valkyria Chronicles: From Game to Anime

One of the anime that I’m really looking forward this season is Valkyria Chronicles or (Senjou no Valkyria in Japanese), why? Simply because I played the game before and I really like it, the game play is awesome and it has the best cell-shading graphic ever (c’mon it’s PS3). So the game is all nice, so how’s the anime?
