Yes, so everyone does these and they do them a lot better than I can be bothered to, but since I’m opinionated enough to want to write this, and it turned out to be too long to be absorbed into Tuesday Rumble, a spring preview has come to exist anyway. If you want pictures and [...]

Doujin Work anime: This is probably old news to almost everyone, but I was just informed yesterday by the cover of April’s Manga Time Kirara that Doujin Work is getting an anime adaptation. (You can read more about the manga in my earlier post.) The “I’m gonna try hard until it gets an anime adaption” [...]

There was a crapton of CODE GEASS news and spoilers that came out today courtesy of upcoming issues of Newtype and Animage, both of which feature the show on their covers. As you can see on the right, one of the big stories is that Newtype gave an official announcement that CODE GEASS was getting a sequel. Admittedly this was something that most of us had already treated as a forgone conclusion ever since December, but it's good finally to see it in print. I'm gonna stay away from talking about all the spoilers, but if you really want to know, you can read about them here (a big kudos goes out to poster Celiss Galvea). However, I will say that I was very intrigued by the fact that In other news, I'm getting really excited about the Spring 2007 season. I've started to compile a list of upcoming anime, and several have already caught my eye - Darker than Black, RomeoXJuliet, Shakugan no ShanaKaze no Stigma, Hitohira, Idolmaster XENOGLOSSIA, and the list goes on... There are also things like KOTOKO singing the opening to Hayate no Gotoku! and UVERworld singing the opening to Chikyuu he... that make me even more interested in those shows. In any case, the final list is going to be quite long, so please look forward to the full Spring 2007 preview, coming in a couple of weeks.

It looks like it's finally time for the Spring anime season previews. Or at the very least, it's good to use as filler since I'll be out of town for a week. For this preview, I take a look at Hitohira, Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann, Gegege no Kitaro, Hayate the Combat Butler and Seto no Hanayome. Hitohira From the trailer that I watched, it looks like Hitohira is about some girl who can't talk. I'm pretty sure "mute" and "can talk" are on the list of moe charm points, and this girl seems pretty moe to me. She seems to be pretty close to her friend (yuri!!!) who'll probably help her to learn to speak up. The character designs look really cute, and the possible (only suggested?) yuri means I'll be watching. There's also a Hitohira manga. Too bad it's a seinen or I might be able to read it.
