CLANNAD – Announcement Commercial

On the heels of today’s Kanon finale came the news that Kyoto Animation is going to be animating the Key game CLANNAD. Rumors had been circulating about this, but the website just went live and they aired an commercial for it. Given that I think KyoAni has done a fantastic job with both AIR and Kanon, I can’t wait to see this. Heck, this commercial already got the opening song Megumeru stuck in my head.
The director is going to be Ishihara Tatsuya (who has done AIR, Kanon, and Suzumiya Haruhi) and the announced cast are Nakahara Mai as Nagisa Furukawa, Hirohashi Ryou as Fujibayashi Kyou, Kanda Akemi as Fujibayashi Ryou, Kuwashima Houko as Sakagami Tomoyo, Nonaka Ai as Ikubi Fuuko, and Noto Mamiko as Ichinose Kotomi.
You can watch the commercial Stage6.

Random Musings – What CODE GEASS Would Look Like If It Were A Harem Anime

My friend Patrik pointed me to this, and it was just too good to not talk about.


I was really floored by the level of quality that this fan-made opening had, including its own h-game style logo and all sorts of flashy effects. It really made me think of what GEASS would be like if it were strictly a harem show. I can only imagine how long it took to make, so a huge kudos goes out to the creator(s). And in case you’re wondering, the song used is true my heart by Sakura Saori from the Nursery Rhyme game. It’s stuck in my head now…
