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 [...]

A few news items and updates - which you may or may not have already heard about - on this tenth day of December. Neo Verona... A winged horse... Juliet fighting with a sword... Well, this is a lot different from the Romeo and Juliet I remember reading years ago in junior high. For those of you who haven't heard, GONZO is going to be animating a version of Shakespeare's work and is calling it RomeoXJuliet. They still credit Shakespeare for the original story, but this really couldn't be more different. GONZO's version is about Romeo as the son of the oppressive Montague dictator and Juliet as the daughter in the Capulet family who rebels against them, all set in an aerial city. It would seem that they're really only keeping the names and the basic star-crossed lovers concept the same. The reason I'm mentioning this now is because the official site now features a trailer for the show, and it really made me sit up and pay attention. I assume the tragic ending will still be kept intact, but that doesn't mean that this won't still be interesting to watch because of all the changes. RomeoXJuliet is set to air April of next year.The official GEASS site and blog have announced that Jinn (of Blood+ OP4) fame will be handling the upcoming second OP and SunSet Swish (of Bleach ED6) fame will be performing the second ED. I'm a bit uncomfortable with Jinn because OP4 was my least favorite out of all the Blood+ songs, but I have high hopes for SunSet Swish.The few of you who still watch Ayakashi Ayashi may have noticed that I didn't blog yesterday's episode (never mind last week). I've been fairly busy with finals and have an important one coming up Monday, so I decided to go ahead and do OtoBoku in the time I had to spare. Hopefully winter break will allow me some time to catch up.AnimeBlogger needs Donations! Our network administrator Maestro has recently hit some hard times, so I'm once again asking for donations on his behalf to help keep these sites going. All donations would go directly towards our hosting bill, so there's no danger of money being misused. Even a small bit will go a long way. More information can be found on Maestro's own blog, which also explains alternate ways to donate if you don't have a Paypal account through which to do so.

Mai is cool, shut up. News, news... Well, there's plenty of it, anyway. So let's begin: Another new anime announced... Romeo x Juliet has its website up. Apparently it takes place in the floating city of Neo-Verona. The character designs remind me of some recent shoujo anime but I can't recall any of the titles. And isn't Juliet supposed to be 12? And another... ...apparently. We all

Two site openings, one belated April Fool’s joke… As many of you are aware by now, GONZO’s next project will attempt to retell the story of the long-lasting feud between the two noble families of Verona, the Capulets and the Montagues; not to mention the fate of these two young ill-fated lovers: Romeo Juliet Did I mention this all [...]
