In the last volume of Death Note, we saw Light get super paranoid because he discovered that his room was full of cameras! Ryuk’s not happy either, because he can’t eat apples anymore. Damn that L!!!

Thanks to tips from an IRC channel I frequent, attention has been brought to me on a page on the bs-i TV website, which points to the possibility of a CLANNAD anime produced by none other than Kyoto Animation. The page itself is here. Now excuse me while I go fanboy. More details will be available [...]

クラナドのＴＶアニメ化ｷﾀ━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━ｯ!!And much like with the announcement of the Kanon 2006 TV series, chaos ensues and the official webpage is massacred with hits. The timing of the news is bang-on and will serve as great comfort with the evident post-Kanon blues. As you can imagine with a new Visual Art's/Key anime adaptation announcement, Kyoto Animation will be at the helm once again because when Visual Art's/Key and KyoAni intercourse together, it's sex hotter than hell. Original CLANNAD gamers will also be glad to know the original VA cast will reprise their respective roles for the forthcoming anime. It's all sounding way too good right now and I do believe I've soiled my trousers whilst typing this entry up. Further details to come on the 20th, as indicated at the website. Presumably, a broadcast date announcement(?)

[Episode 9: Maiden Unfinished] [Enjoyment Value: 9/10] (These latest episodes have been awesome.) [Thoughts] Aww. Mika-sama is dead. >_< Poor girl. I felt she really didn't have to die like that but I suppose there was no escaping it. I must admit though that she looked amazingly beautiful even in death. As for Kazuya, the dude is badass [...]

Often times when a great anime artist comes to my attention, they’re almost strictly digital media artists. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being a digital media artist (most of my fave artists are strictly digital) but there’s also something that can be said about an artist that uses traditional media as well. Specifically, that [...]

Never mind the fact that everyone think it is teh suck and has been dropping it faster than Chouno can say ‘CHOU SUBARASHII~’. For some strange reason, I [...]

What's with all of the food scenes in this episode? Is this what L does when he's stressed out? Pigging out like there's no tomorrow? Judging from the amount of foods that he consumes, he either has a really fast metabolism or he's actually an alien. Anyway, this is definitely a precursor to the ending of the series' first half. If my estimation is correct, next week should wrap up the Yotsuba arc. However, this means that the dreaded plotline will come soon. As usual, due to my short attention span, I haven't actually read beyond the shocking revelation. So while I know what would happen in general, I miss out the in-between stories between the end of this arc and the series finale.

I admit, this episode is a completely Mai-powered episode. The screenshot above just makes it hard for any supporter to rationally say that she’s not cute. Sigh, if she continues on those two bun hair style, even a strong Masako fan like me will have to support the both of them. Is my heart wavering? I [...]

… is not bad at all. Thanks to a certain individual (Blame Mike!~~ Blame Mike!~~ *to the tune of “Blame Canada*), I found myself interested in it. In fact it was particularly engaging, even though 95% of the time I was going “OH SHIT! OH SHIT! OH SHIT!”. But don’t worry, I haven’t developed siscon [...]

Rating: 9.7/10 Impressions: The quality is quite inconsistent this episode, though most of it is animated well (especially during the action scenes). Speaking of which, there’s quite a bit of action this time round thankfully, though still no real full on battles. Knowing these types of shows, there probably won’t be a real battle until the last [...]
