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.
