Anime News / CLANNAD / Daily Dose / Dragonaut / Macross / Miscellaneous / Series Introduction
  • If you’ve been wondering why I haven’t written one of these posts in about three weeks, it’s because I’ve been in the middle of a move and haven’t had much time to do anything extra over the shows I’m blogging regularly. Things haven’t quite settled down yet, so my schedule’s still in a bit of a flux, but I didn’t want to put this off any further since there’s so many new series announcements, PVs, etc piling up. Unfortunately all this also means that I won’t have time to continue keeping up with Tetsuwan Birdy like I wanted to, so I had to drop that.

    10. Oh goodness no, is that XEBEC listed as the animation studio for Kyou no Go no Ni? I shudder at the thought of how it might turn out. Just look at how they did To-LOVE-Ru… but I’ll still have my fingers crossed for a decent adaptation.

      That aside, October’s lineup looks promising =)

    14. i think .. i will never watched clannad after story. since i dont get excited watching their 1st season. the anime is just like others. nothing special about it. Kanon was far better. dont flame me about this. it just my opinion. and yet, i respect your choice! jya!

    15. I’m thinking that people are dismissing CLANNAD~After Story a little TOO easily, since their ships got sunk in a very VERY final way. They’re kind of ignoring the fact that, After Story fully encompasses HALF of the original game. It will bring closure to Nagisa’s story, but oh boy, the road to that end will be filled with tears…

      That aside, Kyou no Go-ni by XEBEC? SERIOUSLY? Uh-oh.

    21. about dragonaut, if, i really mean IF, they didn’t made the dragons with cg(because it looked just like megazords from power rangers……….) and didn’t made all the womans in the series with boobs that where huge to the point of ridiculous defying all physics rules, the series might have been in better situation

    25. I’ve been curious about Michiko & Hatchin since I saw the first trailer at the beginning of this year.

      The trailer gives me a strangely nostalgic feel…. probably some Cowboy Bebop vibes in there.

      I’ve never really been a fan of girls-with-guns type of shows (cough#Strike#cough#Witches#cough)…. the only exception being Motoko Kusanagi from Stand Alone Complex…. but Michiko & Hatchin just has something about it…. must be my fetish for hot, tanned chicks on retro scooters…heh.

      Plus, it’s animated by Manglobe…. Champloo, Ergo Proxy…. nuff said.

      Other than that, I’ve got absolutely no idea what I’m gonna watch…. probably Kyo no 5 no 2, Hyakko (loved the Yuuhi Romance manga), ToraDora, Ga-Rei (shounen guilty pleasure), Chaos Head and Noramimi.

      Anybody know any other ‘seinen’ type shows?…. Omni?

      Cheers.

      P.S…. I still don’t think there’s anything out there that’s gonna beat Kaiba this year….. it was so bloody beautiful.

    28. Yay,the Skip Beat! anime looks nice~
      I also love that Inoue Marina will voice as Kyoko and Miyano Mamoru as Shou.
      They seem to fit perfectly.
      I look forward to it as I’ve stalled from reading the manga anyways.

    35. Did anyone notice in Kurogane no Linebarrels that the girl talking in english was actually Mamiko Noto herself so does this means GONZO’s trying to make this international again and this time in ENGLISH too?!

    38. CLANNAD: what do u think the chances of Nagisa dieing again are because Clannad wouldnt be the same without copious amounts of tragedy and to be honest after the clannad movie which i watched after i started watching the series i doubt they be able to capture that same ammount of absolute dispair( i know what your thinking DONT SAY IT!!!) that they managed to drain from that! For me the movie was , ” WHY WHHHYYYYY *burst out inot tears*…..” wheras the series had been entirely, “thats quite sad… ahwell” at best! maybe im now completely de-sensitized to it now but i honestly want to be able to watch this and say “yeh i cried” because to make me cry from anime its the sign of an AMAZING SERIES

    40. It’ll be really interesting how KyoAni will handle making Clannad After Story into an anime… The pace for the game worked for the game – slow but peaceful and happy life until… But I don’t think that pace will work for an anime series. Will see will see 🙂
