Dango Daikazoku ahoy! This week we highlight the timid Nagisa Furukawa from Clannad. Though she has an almost unhealthy fixation on Dango and is greatly lacking in physical strength, she’s still an all-around sweet girl that always has her heart in the right place. Her After Story is just so heartbreaking… Well anyway this week we celebrate Nagisa. All together now, Dango Daikazoku!

Hello there my name is Dante, and I’m the newest member to the Wolf Hurricane Crew. Currently, I’m a college student with a lot on his plate and a lot on his mind, always on the PC and going to class.

When I’m not on the PC or in class, I’m usually asleep under a tree (I wish), looking at TV or playing video games–a lot. I’m no hardcore player, but I love playing all sorts of games and various MMOs. I like mostly fantasy, action, adventure type animes and a bit of slice of life added and open to all suggestions to any genres. I’m also the BIGGEST SHAKUGAN NO SHANA LOVER–Yeah, I like Shana-tan.

There is not much else to say for me–some future dreams are to get my IT Degree and a writing degree under my belt and to travel the world like some of the Travel Channel hosts do. For now, I’m enjoying life little by little and trying to make sense of it all. Did I mention I have a wicked sense of humor…?

Spotted this news blurb on ANN that said Funimation has Gainax’s new anime, Shikabane Hime Aka, on the upcoming shedule of their Youtube channel. Does this means Funi wants to test the waters before doing an official license? We can only guess because I’m not clairvoyant. I didn’t think Shikabane Hime was anything special, but I can see it having a lot of mainstream appeal to the US market.

With Halloween just around the corner, anime enthusiasts might wish to add a little spook to their viewing schedule with FUNimation Entertainment’s R1 DVD release of the 2006/2007 series Ghost Hunt.

This week we feature Sola’s delightfully creepy nee-san, Aono Morimiya. She was my favorite character in the show, and I just love the overall character design. Those aloof red eyes and that cold, distant gaze… So creepy but oh so dreamy! Her power to manipulate paper (which is totally not taken from Read or Die) also wins a lot of points from me. Yes, the world could always use more Aono fans. Become an Aono fan today for the super low price of your soul free!
