http://www.animenano.com/ An anime blog aggregator and community. en-us [Posted @ 8:02 PM]Ah, sorry, I got busy with studying last week ... >_> *looks away* But-but, I'm really free now lol, man, suddenly, I'm filled with some sense of emptiness after all the exams and I can't help but feel ... HA!!!!!!!! YEAH RIGHT LOL. *WOOTS* I'm so excited, I'm really going home soon!!! I can't wait to go home, see my family, my parrots, my mangas and ... and buy more mangas!!!! XD. I miss the feeling of going to CC and Kinokuniya to snook around for mangas in corners ... sigh. Nothing beats brick and mortar shopping ... well online shopping maybe =P. Alrighty, enough of my rants;Hyakko Episode 5 - Combi of Chapter 7 and Chapter 5.'Oh, My Angel.'I'll be straight, I practically zoned out at the first what ... 3 minutes? LoL, wasn't really interested in what Yanagi's saying ... On the other hand, Shishimaru's soo cute and funny lol, he reminds me of Hosaka from Minami-ke LOL. On top on that, he used Ayumi to confess to Torako lol, what a klutz. LOL @ him nose bleeding at the photo of the alluring Torako XD. Oh well, I really preferred Chapter 5 XD, I just love Torako x Ushio moments lol. Ohh Ushio's seiyuu is Kaido Yuuko (Also Seiyuu for Ootori Amane in Strawberry Panic!), no wonder the voice sounded familiar ... lol Kinda weird to imagine Amane going yankee-like with a sneer, 'Whacha looking at HUH?!' XD.As mentioned, lol I have no idea how many times I've repeated the karaoke scene ... ahh, it's just so funny haha XD. Which reminds me, Koh-san mentioned in the previous blog post comment about the song 'Twelve Beast Gods' being an elaborate Japanese/English pun on the twelve animals in the Chinese zodiac. Very very interesting read and more info here; http://tinyurl.com/6qppzf and in shoujoai forum. Thanks to Koh-san once again XD.Maybe this chart will be clearer? I got it from the Hyakko Volume 3 Chinese scans, yeah and the size is originally that small, I don't have a bigger picture of it.I thought to myself that seiyuu of Torako has a nice singing voice, despite her trying to go out of tune by screaming LOL especially at the '朱に染まる ほほ~~' *SMACK* lol. Ah, Torako's seiyuu, Orikasa Fumiko sung 'Rinne no Hate Ni...', the ED of Shingetsutan Tsukihime anime ... ohh nice.XD, I love Ushio's moed expression and Torako's 'I know your secret now' expression haha XD. Ah, I just watched Ep6 too ... hm, I'll talk about it next time =], off to work on my secret project heh.[Signing off @ 9:17 PM] Fri, 14 Nov 2008 11:17:48 -0000 http://akayuuki.blogspot.com/2008/11/hyakko-ep5.html StarChild has opened a website for Minami-ke’s third anime season. It will be titled Minami-ke Okaeri. Animation production by asread. Broadcasts start in January 2009. Mon, 10 Nov 2008 07:19:02 -0000 http://notes.moedosed.com/703/%E3%80%8Cminami-ke-okaeri%E3%80%8D Hey everyone, a lot of events that have occurred recently left Random Curiosity in a pinch, well kinda ^^'. Divine was a great asset but unfortunately he has left for personal reasons, leaving Omni to once again man the fort on his own. Over the past few months I've noticed that the Daily Dose hasn't made much of a presence like it used to. It was a convenience since it supplied information that everyone looked forward to reading and I felt it made Random Curiosity unique in its own way. I've recently contacted Omni and offered my help by doing the Daily Doses in his place. I'm looking forward to working with all of you. -Sixthdawn New Anime Announcements: •Hetalia Axis Powers is getting animated. •Higurashi no Naku Koro no Rei (5-part OAV) will begin airing late December. •Kiss x Sis will be getting animated on DVD. •Bakemonogatari is getting animated. •Maria†Holic is getting animated. •Black God is getting animated. •A new season of Full Metal Alchemist has been confirmed. •Haruhi-chan, Churuya-san will be getting anime shorts. •Gonzo will be animating Dungeon & Fighter (Slap Up Party -Arad Senki-). •Hatsukoi Limited is getting animated. •Asakiyumemishi is getting animated and will premiere next January. •Minami-ke is getting a 3rd season. •Denpateki na Kanojo is getting animated. •Souten Kouro is getting animated. •Shangri-La is getting animated. •Zettai Yareru Greece Shinwa is getting animated. •Hajime no Ippo will be getting a new series January 2009. •Koi Hime†Musou is getting an OVA. •Sunrise's new upcoming series is Sora wo Kakeru Shoujo. •Spice and Wolf's second season has been confirmed. •Asura Cryin' is getting animated. •Sengoku Basara is getting animated. •428 ~Fuusa Sareta Shibuya de~ is getting animated. •Street Fighter IV will be getting an anime adaption. •Project MP will be getting an anime adaption. •Kemono no Soja will be getting an anime adaption. •Before Green Gables will be getting adapted into an anime.

I can still dramatize Minami-ke. The third round has been a rough mix of incredible blowouts and intense battles; we’ve seen all four Clannad girls annihilate the competition in varying amounts.

Goodbye to Minami-ke, it was fun hanging till round 3. I seriously did not think any of you would make it that far, but all three of you did. Oh well. Results today are thanks once again to Ando.
