Just a few meta items to mention before I go to bed:
Thanks to everyone who offered a temporary place to put images. I think we’re now set until we move to the new server.
Divine just returned home from Japan yesterday, so he’s still in catch-up mode for several of his shows, plus whatever new ones he’s thinking of picking up.
For this summer season in particular, I think it’s worth saying that just because a first episode isn’t blogged right away doesn’t mean that it’s not being considered. I’ll use World Destruction as an example. I thought the first episode was okay, did well with its strong voice cast, and had some decent story potential, but I’m not exactly leaping to blog it, especially since I’m already following SOUL EATER on Mondays and two shows on Sundays. I’d reconsider though if none of the other series airing this week that I’m interested in (Koihime Musou, Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu, or even the new j-drama Yasuko to Kenji) turn out to be any more compelling than World Destruction, and in that case, I’d tweak my schedule a bit so that I can fit World Destruction in. One of the problems this season (and it’s more of an issue for Divine than it is for me) is that most of the shows we’re interested in watching are stacked on a few days of the week – Wednesdays and Thursdays for example – whereas days like Tuesdays and Saturdays are unusually light. That’s why it’ll probably take a little longer than usual for us to settle into a normal blogging schedule.
Also, I haven’t forgotten about Daily Doses. They will return as soon as things settle down and I figure out what I want to follow. And a quick thanks to all the people who emailed me about the new ef series.

Oh, Shirley. Tsk, the last episode was really a kicker for folks who wanted a ‘normal’ and closely-implied hetero relationship in CGR2.
Shirley… we’ll miss you…
Yeah that broke my heart to see Shirley gone now… man i just hope someone elese like her supports Zero now, so hope more CC or Karen take action.
Hey Omni can you do some research on the FMA 2 and Darker than Black 2 leaks please?
shirley 🙁
DIE SHIRLEY, DIE!!!!!! AHAHAHAA jk
‘I am serious. And don’t call me Shirley.’
@Tristan: I highly doubt that. BONES never make sequels.
Thanks for the update Omni.
Noes Shirley
Shirley… It was a sudden death. Lulu will avenge you dont worry. /sob
hell hath no fury like a brilliant strategist scorned :[
According to Japanator.com, the rumors of sequels for FMA and DTB are false. So there you go. An OVA or movie probably won’t be out of the question (especially for FMA, doubtful for DTB), but series sequel, not too likely.
Why not blog Birdy the Mighty Decode? Its got a quirky premise with neat character designs, great animation (the fight scenes r0xx0r), and the music is pretty catchy (the ED looks and sounds like something out of Gurren Lagann).
to stasha j-
Uh, not sure what the rules are for outside solicitation here at Random Curiosity, so maybe Omni, Divine, or Natrone can field this one…
poor shirley indeed. there goes the possibilty of a lulu x shirly pairing, not that I really care since I didn’t see that happening anyway.
I really didn’t think that Shirley would die. With her memory back again, I didn’t know what was going to happen, but I didn’t think she would die. Who’s next?
R.I.P Shirley ;_;
@Tristan: Doubt FMA will have a second season, but for DTB it most likely can & will. In that season, two shows people wanted sequels for were DTB and Gurren Lagann. Whereas Gurren Lagann finished strongly, DTB didn’t. Bones is just playing tricks on us though I say in the end. 😛
Bah want bigger version of that picture but registering on a Japanese picture gallery site when I don’t know Japanese is a bit… harder then I had expected… 😐
Shirley could have cure lulu of his siscon/yaoi tendencies (yes, we know lulu, dont deny it)… we will miss you…
My Deathnote for Code Geass:
-Rolo
-V.V
-The Emperor
-Orange-kun
@Tristan, seconding what KaminaLives told you, the document that was used to support the claims has been proven to have been falsified. There’s been murmurs and rumors of a FMA continuation in some form for ages.
@Deadlyrain, Google is your amigo for those sorts of things:
http://miezaru.donmai.us/forum/show/4517 should get you past all the tricks and troubles, and believe me, Pixiv is worth the registration.
Shirley!!!!!!!!!!!!
FMA and DTB sequels = cake = lie!
Oh… Shirley…
Shirley 🙁
@Dango
Replace Orange with Suzaku pl0x, he joined Zero and his now uber cool. Geass Canceler + Zero’s Geass = Infinite obedience trick.
I really miss the ‘Snapshots’ sections. Is it possible for Omni to do something similar even though you not planning to follow through? So that we can have a rough gauge of how the title is going to turn out? I miss what Patrik did! =p
@dzdzd
Good point. Now that Lelouch has Orange, his Geass is even more useful!
@Deadlyrain: I just did a guided registration for pixiv here 🙂
Shirley 🙁 I shall miss you. Die Rolo, die! Even if by some 1/124248940234 of a chance Rolo didn’t kill Shirley, go die anyway Rolo.
konaha: If I had the time, I would. Someone like him is hard to replace.
New ef?
@konaha:
As an addition to what Omni just said, I was considering covering the first episode of as many new shows as possible this season (in lieu of Snapshots), but the last week of my vacation coincided with the first week of premieres, so I’ve been busy catching up on my shows instead.
A bit of a shame I agree, but spare time is lacking.
@divine:
Yea i understand. lol…
