I have always been interested in seiyuu concerts, since I started to “massively” watch animes. An I particularly used to love events like Animelo, or specific anime events like Suzumiya Haruhi no Gekisou, SHUFFLE! Live Only for You or School Rumble Presents Come! Come! Well-come? Party etc… Now, I am still looking forward any similar events, [...]

I’ve been meaning to get these out of the way for quite a while now, but just haven’t had the chance (see upcoming Summer update article). Since the capsule format was so popular last time, and since my review stack has grown so large, here are brief reviews of Shuffle vol. 4, School Rumble - [...]

Both Tsubasa Chronicle and xxxHOLiC are getting Original Animation DVD (OAD) releases with upcoming volumes of their respective manga in a new CLAMP and Production I.G project. The first one, an xxxHOLiC episode, will come out with volume 14 of the xxxHOLiC manga in January of 2009, and the subsequent Tsubasa Chronicle episode will come out in February 2009 with volume 26 of the Tsubasa Chronicle manga. After Tokyo Revelations turned out so good, I'm glad to hear that there'll be more by Production I.G. Thanks Julie for the heads up. The School Rumble manga has ended. I hear a lot of people aren't too happy about the way it ended, and there is a follow-up called School Rumble Z coming. It's now official that Xam'd Lost Memories will premiere in Japan via the Playstation Store in September. It will get a weekly release for 26 total episodes. The first episode is already available in the US Playstation Store, and I wrote about it here. Popular fujoshi manga Tonari no 801-chan is getting an anime to be aired next year. The official website for the upcoming Umineko no Naku Koro ni anime is now open. The Gurren Lagann movie website is now hosting a trailer, though it requires Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player to watch. If for whatever reason you can't watch it, don't feel too bad because there's nothing new in it other than some music. If you find anything that you think I should mention on any particular day’s Daily Dose, please send me an email with the words “ANIME NEWS” somewhere in the subject line.

This Spring has been rather satisfying with Daughter of 20 Faces, Allison and Lilia, Itazura na Kiss, Special A, Code Geass R2 and others. The Summer, for whatever other faults it might have, will have more School Rumble. And this Fall looks pretty bitchin. Let’s see what we got this Fall… * Tytania. Artland [...]

Yes, it’s true: the next chapter of School Rumble will be its last, making volume 22 its final tankobon. But what will happen in the final chapter? Will Tenma choose to have her baby? Will Kenji realize that it’s his? Will Oji kill him when he finds out– or her? AND WHAT ABOUT YAKUMO!? …Yeah, sorry, I [...]

With One Piece out for a breather, there goes one of my regular titles. I was hoping for translations for Fullmetal Alchemist c.85, Psyren c.30, and Nodame Cantabile c.125. Alas, I was to be disappointed. Maybe this coming week.  I was about to add Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles in this week’s roster, [...]

While casting envious glances on Anime Expo ‘08 attendees, this blogger soothe herself with her regular manga routine. Well… She tried. Bah. This week in manga-land (in my manga-land, anyway): Sekirei turns out to be a big tease; Children of the Corn appears in Psyren; Hikaru rides the luv train in Ouran; [...]

Aside from the gasp-inducing-thank-gawd-it-finally-ended Inuyasha, it was a slow week for Manga Weekly. Bleach swings back to present day chaos; School Rumble still delves into strange ground; One Piece throws another revelation; xxxHolic voices a curious remark. Since it’s a slow week, let me introduce a series called Akuma to Love Song. Serenus Dreamer [...]

It seems like I’ve been checking up on how various series I left behind are doing lately. First there was Bleach, then Inuyasha, and now School Rumble. And all I have to say is… What? At some point School Rumble started dropping the drama bombs like they were coming from Little Boy and Fat Man, and I [...]
