Seriously, when only two shows are on my Must Download Now!!11 list for current series I’m watching, and only one of them is from the current Fall season while the other’s a continuation from the previous season, there’s probably something seriously wrong here.
For the curious, the only show I’m watching so far from Fall 2009 is Darker than Black: Comet of Gemini.
I should look into Letter Bee and Armed Librarians, I guess. Maybe Railgun, but I read the manga and I know that currently it’s in silly daily life mode, which isn’t too important. Well, that’s the curse of having read the original source for me: It makes me too lazy to watch the anime with any form of dedication.
I guess there’s also Bakemonogatari’s online streaming episodes, but there’s all of three of those, so oy.
Well, there’s also previous season/year stuff I could look into, I suppose. Like that Tokyo Magnitude 9,001 or whatever.
Well, that was rather nice. The last episode of Time of Eve was a good long 27:45 in length, and it marked off the end to the tentative first ’season’ rather nicely. The main focus of the episode this time was, surprisingly, Masaki, and it ended up with him reconciling with an old bond that was thought lost. And we also have our look at the series’s real antagonist so far: Masaki’s own father, who happens to be part of the Anti-Android coincil. That, however, doesn’t play as huge a role in this episode as one might expect, but his influence can still be felt during this episode.
I’m a bit sad that this little gem has ended for now, but there has been rumours of a season 2 from words on the official website, so who knows what else this company might have in store? Either way, it’s been quite an interesting ride. See you later, Time of Eve, may we meet again!
Edit: I made a silly error from writing at 3 in the morning. :<
That being said, it’s funny that Kanbaru does a very good job of filling up Senjougahara’s absence. I’d never expected it, but hey, it works. Actually, you could kick out that overrated yandere and it’d make the show 1000x better. As for the episode itself, it was alright, but as the title says, the presentation left a lot to be desired, as it ended up being a lot of still shots and frames for a large portion of the episode.
Well, the last arc looks to be Tsubasa Cat, which is 2 episodes aired on TV and 3 episodes off the website. ’tis a pity, I was waiting for the Koyomi Vampire arc. Oh well, I guess I can’t complain since the show is popular enough to warrant a second season.
Wow, two posts in a row from yours truly. I am on a ROLL, baby.
Hopefully, I’m not the only one still keeping up to date with the (admittedly haphazard) Gunslinger Girl scanlation release schedule. It’s certainly a very undermentioned series despite being one of the most poignant series I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading. Sure, the target demographic may be creepy perverts lolicons, but one can’t deny that the kind of writing that goes into these chapters are certainly no cheap parlour tack-ons. Though, I will have to admit that the shoddy workmanship of Il Treatrino did put me off from actually watching the second season. Not that I missed a whole lot, of course… I don’t think so, anyway.
That being said, the current scanlations are, I believe, just four or so chapters behind the latest releases. The last chapter I read on Mangafox some scanlations website was chapter 63, I believe. It ended on a cliffhanger as the Fratelli by the name of Beatrice takes to the frontstage but for a fleeting moment.
For those in the know-how, you’ll know that apparently, NEC will be releasing real life versions of the Selecao phones used in Eden of the East, seen in the blog post here.
Also, seems Evangelion will be releasing their own NERV-only phones too, as seen here. (Warning: Links to Sankaku Complex, which is riddled with NSFW stuff from head to toe. Tread at your own discretion.) It looks pretty bland though.
Personally, I’ve always thought the Selecao phone looked unique and cool enough to warrant owning one, even back when I saw those pictures and thought they were just fake mock-ups. For the time being though, it seems only Selecao Nine’s colour scheme will be available, though they are apparently throwing in “Falling Down” as a ringtone, free of charge. Only time will tell if these will be in widespread production, it’ll be a shame if it’s only a limited release.
Now if we can get ourselves a secretary named Juiz and a bank account of ten billion yen…
As you may all have known, for the current season I happen to be a huge Eden of the East junkie. And here we have the ED in full. Finally! Single will only be out at the end of May, however. But in the meantime, here’s something to whet the appetites of ye audiophiles out there. I must say that I love the refrain portions of the song.
Eden of the East has been one of the more commonly talked about anime series of the spring season, with good cause. Having been an avid watcher of the first two episodes, here are some insights about this strange little concoction from Production I.G. (Spoilers follow)
Yes, I’m very much a passionate music fanatic. Can’t you tell? I’m also a big animation and image composition fan, and in my opinion, a good OP is one that combines fantastic visuals and a great track, with superb coordination to bring out the best of both worlds. It’s why I feel disappointed if an OP has a great track but subpar animation, though there are exceptions to this little bit of causality. Now let’s have a brief rundown on what’s the best this season has to offer… So far.
Okaaay, that little dance jig number with Basara was Not Expected/10. Also, seems Asuka Cryin’ is made by Nanoha folks. Well, certainly has the whole School People With Special Powers thing which I didn’t really expect from the very sparse initial summaries. Not Sure If Want either of these. Thoughts, guys?
Hmm, at this point, I’m not really sure what OPs I’m looking forward to. I’m not sure Eden of the East will be the sort of thing to have an amazing OP, but you can never be too sure. Shangri-La was pretty much one of the ones which I expected to have the better OP sequences, and it wasn’t too bad, I guess. Well, onto more leaks and whatnot.
Adieu, Meu out!
