What a horrible horrible filler that was. It looks like they’re going to try and merge the Yako’s dad murder thing with Sai, but I don’t know if they will handle the Sai arc the way the manga did. They threw Yako into another country and just when she was about to be [...]

Umm what? Can someone remind me if this was an old chapter in the manga? I have a feeling I remember some sort of an arc about someone who kept stealing faces, but I can’t recall if there was a kyuubi. Either way, it must have happened early on before the Denshi Drug HAL [...]

The romance drama true tears has passed Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei to become the most popular new-season show on 2channel, the Japanese forum site.true tears is on its 88th thread, having passed 87,000 posts. Zetsubou Sensei is on its 85th thread (84,000+ posts).A little over a month ago, Zetsubou Sensei was 50 threads ahead, but true tears has captivated fans both on 2channel in Japan, and also on the international English forum site AnimeSuki, where it has 2417 posts and rising fast, just behind Spice & Wolf (2559).On 2channel, threads have sprung up with names like "true tears -- godly anime" and "Compared to true tears, Clannad is a Worthless Harem Anime." And there is now a special thread for spoilers and speculation, as there is on AnimeSuki.true tears is by far my own favorite show of the new season, too, with Spice & Wolf next. The voice-acting in both is superb. Comparative newcomer Takagaki Ayahi (Feldt Grace in Gundam00) as Noe is outstanding, as is Iguchi Yuka (Sakura in Tokimeki Memorial) as Ai. That Nazuka Kaori (Eureka in Eureka Seven, Cossette in Les Miserables) is excellent as Hiromi is no surprise. One other performance that steals the show for me is Takahashi Rieko (Neviril in Simoun) as the hero's mother.Here are the current numbers of threads for all the new shows in the top 100 most recently posted about shows on 2channel:true tears 88Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei 85GUNSLINGER GIRL -IL TEATRINO- 28Spice and Wolf 27Yattaman 21Shigofumi 20Persona 17Rosario to Vampire 17Hakaba Kitaro 13KimiAru 12H2O～FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND～ 10Hakutenko Yuugi 10Major 5 5Noramimi 4Ayakashi 3Mnemosyne 2Porfy no Nagai Tabi 2Zenryoku Usagi 1And here are figures for shows continuing from last October:Minamike/Okawari 230 Shakugan no Shana II 167 Gundam00 150 CLANNAD 188 Kimikiss 136 Bamboo Blade 78 Gegege no Kitaro 37 Rental Magica 20 Nougami Neuro 18 Shion no Ou 9 Ghost Hound 7 Mokke 5 Some shows are missing because they were not among the last 100 shows posted about.

So I am up to chapter 133 of the Neuro manga which means this is the first episode I’ve watched where I’ve read the manga before hand. And let me tell you, what a sinking feeling it is when you know what’s been cut out and the disappointment is probably equivalent to my disappointment [...]

Wow that was absolutely Amazing! I can’t believe how awesome of a story Neuro is turning out to be! I know it started out as ridiculous fodder, but that fodder is totally justified by this entire arc. I’m actually catching up in the manga, I’m on this arc in the manga as [...]

Wow Neuro is suddenly becoming incredibly awesome. I must continue reading the manga! So this week we saw the past of Higuchi and how his parents were MMORPG addicts who made the game their life and ignored their son who had to work park time to support their habits lol. And they only spoke [...]

NOOO WHY HIGUCHI WHY!! Oh god I didn’t know Higuchi joined the dark side I’m a little behind on the manga but I plan to catch up on that this weekend (while sewing my cosplay!) I really like the episode in general. All the action was pretty cool and seeing Yako all sad about [...]

Holy crap that was an awesome episode? You know how you can tell an episode will be awesome? When they do their hannin wa omae da routine before halftime! Also who is that hawt undercover cop in the green sweater?? He’s like the best looking guy in the entire Neuro cast. *ships him [...]

Episode posted a bit late so I couldn’t get it until today. Sources say it’s a filler but despite that, I found it to be really funny The first part that loled me was when Jun did the “The Criminal is….SOMEWHERE IN THIS ROOM!” XDDDD And then when near the end Yako was like [...]

This week’s episode is actually where I sorta “stopped” reading in the manga. I guess I should really continue. I think I stopped at the point where Tsuyuki died so I didn’t get to see dicknose gaijin David Rice yet until I watched this week. Lol it was actually pretty hillarious seeing this guy’s [...]
