And it just happens that that one song you’re looking for is one of the missing ones?
Well, it’s been out for a little while, but I finally got around to finding this one from Darker than Black (Season 1), which turned out to be in a song package with the new Blu-Ray release pack.
21 – Total Eclipse, by Yoko Kanno.
Very good, BONES. Now if you’d just release the rest of the tracks,maybe we’d forgive you for ruining Season 2. Boy was that a total trainwreck.
It’s been a while since I’ve written anything seriously (more than a year actually), so I’ll be finding my proverbial sea legs as I go along here. Even though I’ve been away from the blog far too long, I’ve still been keeping up with anime when possible. Though I missed coverage of 2010 as a whole, it had its fair share of good shows. Spring ’10 was surprisingly weak with Angel Beats utterly stomping the competition for best Spring show. Summer fared better with a strong lineup overall headlined by Amagami SS and Seitokai Yakuindomo. Fall had a plethora of good (but not great) shows. It’s hard to pick just one or two as the best since there were no clear standouts in my opinion. At a glance I’d have to say Star Driver and Panty and Stocking won the battle of the Fall shows.
Agree or disagree with what I think? Leave a comment and pat me on the back or trololol me a new one.
PS: Winter 2011 doesn’t look that good, but if I skip it I’ll have nothing to talk about…
This has probably been out for a while now, meaning it’s all old-hat for some of you, but she’s news to me. And what’s she’s got for her over the rest of the OS-Family: Her own commercial.
(I really wanted to show you the video ’cause it’s all sorts of moe, however there seems to be some difficulty with the embedding. So instead of junking this post, clicking on the picture will take you to the utuebs for now until the video can be shown here)
Coming off Japanator, Eric Sherman, President of Bang Zoom! Entertainment, is heralding the End of Days as he sees it:
Last year we saw Bandai fire 90% of their staff on one Monday in January, and two years ago we saw Geneon (neé Pioneer) shut their doors and auction off their wares to the highest bidder. CPM died a slow, painful death. And ADV fell hard and fast, the way mighty giants will. But from here on, it won’t be so exciting. Japan is already suffering and struggling to bring out quality titles. They can’t rely on everything being picked up by US distributors anymore. And little by little, it just won’t be here anymore.
Diego adds to the festive cheer by opening the covers of a splendid stocking stuffer: ARIA the Illustration – Avvenire, a compilation of artwork related to the ARIA anime series.
Diego briefly escapes from the drudgery of the white-collar salt mines to bring you another review. Today, the spotlight falls on Cielo – the last in a three-volume series of hardbound books featuring the manga art of ARIA author and illustrator Amano Kozue.
Sorry for the lack of updates lately, but I just haven’t been very motivated to write lately. Anyway, I actually hate Maria but couldn’t resist using that line for the title since it was from one of Umineko’s more memorable scenes. Halloween itself doesn’t have the same luster it used to when I was young, but it’s still a fun holiday in and of itself. My days of going house-to-house for free candy are gone, but the consolation is cheap bags of candy (and cavities!) the day after, so it’s not a bad trade off. At any rate It beats prowling the streets at night, getting the proverbial candy crap shoot. When will people learn that NO ONE likes the vile, nasty poison that is candy corn? That stuff is nastier than a sweaty otaku’s armpit in summer.
Anyway, I’m going to stay in and watch animu and stuff. If you have plans for today, be safe since people can go a bit crazy. Also, don’t follow any strange witches home. You might find yourself stuffed with candy… And not in the good way. Or maybe it is the good way if that’s what you want — I’m not one to judge.
PS: This goes against everything I stand for but… ううううううー！
When the words ‘cat’ and ‘anime’ usually cross paths, the result is more often than not a cat girl of some sort. I’m the odd man out when I say they’ve always weirded me out, even before furry awareness hit our stream of consciousness. Ugh… Creepy… Disgusting… Cat girls. At any rate, anime do feature cats in some way or another with regularity, but very few have actually put them in a starring role. There’s Chi’s Sweet Home and Nyan Koi… And that’s it. Before I get distracted even more, let’s move on to the Nyan Koi impressions.
