It seems to have taken a long, long time, but here we are at last at the climax of Sora wo Kakeru Shoujo... and who would have thought that this final episode would have brought us a battle between Leopard and pretty much everybody else with a starring role in the series?!However, that state of affairs is exactly what we get, with Nami and the "new look" Leopard looking to destroy everything in

One must be wondering why I used the plural form of “shoujo” in the title. Quite frankly, I think the story revolves around more than just airheaded Akiha, and that she is not the only Sorakake Girl. This episode certainly seemed to prove that. Skipping both the OP and ED, we dive right into the [...]

My latest order from CDJapan turned up today, containing the Yoko Kanno/Seatbelts Space Biocharge, the most recent volume of Kurokami (the show selling so badly I can’t find sales figures for it) and, of course, this months instalment of my present favouritist-thing-ever-that-isn’t-Escaflowne-or-HiME, Sora wo Kakeru Shoujo.

New York Anime Fest has added another guest to its list today: Yui Makino , a seiyuu and singer who made her CD debut with the ending theme song for Sousei no Aquarion -- written by Yoko Kanno , if that tells you anything about Makino's singing caliber.But most of you will probably be more familiar with her as the voice actress who plays Sakura in the Japanese dub of Tsubasa. She also voiced Misaki Nakahara in Welcome to the NHK, as well as roles in Bokurano, Sketchbok, and Sora wo Kakeru Shoujo. She'll be having an autograph session, a panel, and a special concert as well.Makino is also near and dear to my heart because she's a blogger extraordinaire: her blog is one of Japan's most-read. I do love my bloggers! <3 (Thanks for the tip, MrBoobo!)
