What can I say? In my opinion (IMO), it's probably one of the better ones...I can't actually think of another series that has a gender bender like this. Actually never mind. But I...
Animated PVZomfg. That animated PV is just as cute as Minami's Chibi Miku. It's too bad that it's so short. Anyways, there'll be a long weekend Manga feature later today and tomorrow. I had a long weekend, and a lot of other schools did. Ahaha. ...

More Horo goodness. Act 0 (OVA) was a small taste of whats to come in the second season, which is pretty much the same kinda stuff that was in the first season.

Image by Asato MizuAwight. So, despite the picture, I did have my grad ceremony today...more accurately, yesterday. Here's the run down. I'll upload pictures later, when my head isn't killing me.Got a ride from my parents, who attended the ceremony. Ended up getting there a half hour late though, since my mom's new GPS wasn't cooperating. I wasn't the last one though, and...

Some cool stuff made by kyonkun79 on the Animesuki forums. Fuwa Fuwa Time is a song in K-ON!. Looks awesome, and similar in style to the ending of Higashi no Eden. Kudos to him. The song is pretty fun too. ;D Fuwa fuwa time~ ...
Image by Takeneshi EriKannagi 14! The actual series ended at 13, but an extra DVD only episode will be included in the seventh volume of the DVDs. It's actually out today, so I'd reckon that the sub's be out...in another day or two. And no. This does not guarantee a second season. ...
Title: 青い花, Aoi Hana, Sweet Blue FlowersGenre: Yuri, Drama, RomanceAnimation Production: J.C. STAFFAirs: 07/-- 26:08 Kenn's Comment: Yuri. Excellent. Anyways, haven't read this, or heard of it before, so yeah. Anyways, looking forwards to it, since I've heard good stuff about it.Summary from ANN:Fumi Manjoume, an introverted, bookish teenage girl, is beginning her first year of high school at Matsuoka Girls' High School....
Awight, so for today's free block, we drove with John down to Ed's place to pick up a few "special packages". He's got about 17 of them now. After having a popsicle as Ed's, we drove down to the McD's down on 41st for some food. John had two small burgers, I had a snack wrap, a parfait and an ice coffee. Kev...
Title: 宙のまにまに, Sora no Manimani, At the Mercy of the SkyGenre: Seinen, Comedy, Romance, DramaProduction Studio: STUDIO COMET (fitting isn't it?)Airs: 07/07 10:30 Kenn's Comment: Only 2 chapters of the manga are scanlated to my knowledge, but from the looks of the trailer, and the two chapters, I don't think it'd be that bad. The plot is kinda generic from the outside, but...
Awight, so today I was at ze Summer Night Market down in Richmond. Not there shopping, but working @ ze family stall. Selling Vietnamese Sandwiches, salad rolls, and chicken with rice. Being new and all, I was really slow, missing ingredients and stuff, but I got better as the day went on. Managed to get to the point where I could make a...
Woo. Axis Powers Hetalia meets IOSYS and Touhou's "Marisa Stole the Precious Thing" It's really well done, and happens to match up with the song very well. ;D ...
Title: グレート・ティーチャー・オニヅカ, GTO, Great Teacher OnizukaAuthor: Fujisawa TohruGenre: Shounen, Comedy, Drama, Slice of Life, EcchiTotal Volume Count: 25Kenn's Comment: Possibly one of the greatest manga series I've ever read. Onizuka's unorthodox teaching methods really wish that I had a teacher like him in my earlier years. Well, now that I think about it, if you were to mix the personalities and habits of...
Anyways, this is only the beginning. Just like the spring season, I'll be going through all the series that I'll be following. For now, this'll do while I go hunt for trailers. ...
Title: セブンゴースト, 07 GhostGenre: Action, Adventure, Fantasy, ComedyWell, took me a while to find a piece of art for this series, since I can't seem to find it on Dan/Gelbooru. Anyways, so far the series has some good action, and good animation (Deen's not bad). Teito really has it hard, and Frau's an awesome character. With 25 episode scheduled, I'm expecting the story...
The song is pretty cool, and the accompaniment sounds like it'd be on DJ Max. Srsly. The chorus is awesome too o: A few comments on the video are pretty funny too"hmm is it supposed to be Allergy? great vid btw =D ""Build Your Vocabulary: An elegy is a song in rememberance of a deceased person. In other words, the musical equivalent of...
Title: クイーンズブレイド 流浪の戦士, Queen's Blade - Ruro no Senshi (Vargrant Warrior)Genre: Ecchi, Adventure, ActionAwight, so this is the second last one. The next one will be 07 Ghost, but I can't find any art of it on Danbooru or Gelbooru, so I'm waiting a bit until one shows up. Anyways, Queen's Blade...what can I say. Don't watch this in the vicinity of other...
That's right folks. It's now been proven that the second season of Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu will be new episodes mixed in with the rerun! The first one would come be Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody, coming chronologically after episode 7, therefore making it episode 8 in the chronological episode list. This also means that I'm probably going to want to grab the rest of...
Awight, let's get this started. Today was a CPD (Collaborative Planning Day), so class started a bit later. Including my morning free block, my classes didn't start until 11:05. Awesome. Ivy said she'd hunt me down today. Damn she was right. It was like she was waiting. Should've taken a different entrance. Only had an hour and a half of classes today. Anyways,...
Awight, let's do this. So, I went into the store, pretty darn tired. Went around on the computer, watched a Haruhi-chan video on YouTube, and then did nothing really. This was all while Rena was wrapping/making a gift basket for Connie, who can't wrap things for shit, although I'm one to speak. Anyways, although I said I wouldn't help her, I ended up...
So here I sit. Alone in the school store, accompanied only by the loud mechanical humming of a large refrigerator, my iTouch, and a newly donated computer, coupled with an ancient CRT monitor, and a keyboard, standing on it's last legs. There is no frenzy. It is calm. It is quiet, save for the humming and the tapping of the keyboard.I can hear...
Title: Hello BabyAuthor: Masanori Morita (story), Takeshi Obata (art)Genre: Shounen, Action, DramaKenn's Comment: Shounen knuckle head fans would step into this with baited breath, and then slit their wrists at the end of it. Summary from MangaUpdates:A story of love, life, and betrayal.Set in a certain city, a would-be gangster wanting to be recognized takes on a dangerous offer, to kill a boss...
Title: 鋼の錬金術師 FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST, Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, FMA 2Genre: action, comedy, drama, fantasyA remake of the first Full Metal Alchemist. This one is supposed to be more faithful to the manga, and so far, it has been. They're moving really quickly through the plot, making what took 2 episodes in the first series, into only one episode. With the subtitle as "Brotherhood",...
That's right folks. For those of you who've got nothing to do on the long weekend, why not check this series out?Title: ソラニン, SolaninAuthor: Asano InioGenre: Seinen, Romance, Drama, Slice of LifeTotal Volume Count: 2Kenn's Comment: It's so nice *u*. The story is great, the art is even better. It's such a realistic story, even the art doesn't use the usual manga deformations....
Title: ツイてるカノジョ, Tsuiteru KanojoAuthor: Zappa Go (story), Fujima Takuya (art)Genre: Seinen, Romance, Drama, SupernaturalTotal Volumes: 2 (9 chapters)Kenn's Comment: ;_; It's a nice story. Although I've read it a while back, I can still remember the happenings and stuff. It's a nice short read with the ability to give you that aching heart that comes from reading sad stories. The romance is quite...
Hello and welcome to Room Tours Inc. My name is Kenn, and I will be your tour guide for the day. The room has just finished being cleaned, and everything's been put back to normal. Got rid of a stack of paper, and put away stuff from last year. Anyways, let's get this show on the road!We have arrived at the destination. This...
Wahahaha. It's Luka! ;D She's got a nais outfit in this one. Enjoy! ...
Awight, so after ze school we were @ jason's place with the usual crew, plus the Douglas crew (+ justin and danny) for some boxing. But ya know, as fun as it might be, someone's gonna get hurt. While waiting for John and the rest, we ended up screwing around in the front yard. Ed pulled a shoe horn out and started using...
Wahaha. Posting from school on our "new" computer. Hey. It's actually a big jump. We went from a Windows 98 to an XP. We jumped Windows 2k. We're still using our ghetto CRT and delapitated keyboard though. The space bar is messed up. We have USB ports now. It's a great addition you know. We even have external speakers now. Actually, the external...
Title: Phantom ~ Requiem for the PhantomGenre: Action, PhychologicalI'd have to say that this has been a good series so far. The questions are numerous, like most of the other series this season. A good set of characters, but with a title of "Requiem", things may not bode well for a few characters...Anyways, the animation is good, but it's a BeeTrain series after...
Title: 初恋限定。, Hatsukoi Gentei, Hatsukoi LimitedGenre: Romance, Comedy, Slice of LifeWell, ya didn't think I'd forget about this little series, did'ya? I admit, I haven't really been following it. I have all the episodes to date, but I just haven't been watching them. Probably should catch up when I have the time. Anyways, this is probably one of the more publicized series of...
Title: タユタマ -Kiss on my Deity-, TayutamaGenre: Supernatural, Romance, ComedyThe series is pretty good so far. Lots of nais characters, Yuuri's not a cowardly main character, Mashiro's (both forms) are nais. Anyways, the series hasn't really presented any problems yet, and here's to hoping for a good end! ...
Awight, so I'll start with the happenings of yesterdayMay 12 Free Block Frenzy!Loitered around with Ed and Kev, and eventually went to 7 for some food. With a little bit more than half of the cafeteria closed due to the elections being held there, there wasn't really much to do. Anyways, we spotted Johnson hard at work for his CS teacher, gathering up...
Title: グイン・サーガ, Guin SagaGenre: Fantasy, AdventureWell, the series is certainly very intruiging, but at the same time, it's not as entertaining as the other series. It's based off an extensive novel series, and that just makes the job that much harder, since they're probably not going to get through all the novels. They need to choose what to animate, and what not to...
Title: 東のエデン, Higashi no Eden, Eden of the EastGenre: Mystery, Action , RomanceSo far, the series, like Asura Cryin', has given us many more questions than answers. We don't even know who the Takizawa actually is. The opening and ending animations are both super trippy, and it's Production I.G. for goodness sake. Plus, the character design from H&C doesn't hurt either. xD Anyways,...
Alrighty, so today in the market was a rather uneventful day. However, I decided to blog about the happenings in an unhappening day.The previous three blocks finished updating the records, leaving us, the fourth and last block of the day, with pretty much nothing to do. So for about 10 minutes, I plugged my iTouch into the speakers, played some music and went...
Title: シャングリ・ラ, Shangri-laGenre: Science FictionI dunno. The past 4 or 5 episodes really haven't left much of an impression on me. It's interesting, but not exactly...very entertaining. I'm hoping I can warm up to it a bit more as the series progresses, and Kuniko is pretty cute. I'm not holding super high expectations for it, but I'm certainly not expecting this to fail....
Title: 魔砲使い黒姫, Mahou Tsukai Kurohime, KurohimeAuthor: Katakura MasanoriGenre: Shounen, action, adventure, fantasy, romanceTotal Volume Count: 15 (on going)Kenn's Comment: Duuuuuude, if you are to read a shounen manga, you must read this! Screw Bleach and Naruto! Well, this is from my personal perspective, of course, and by now, most of you should've figured out that romance is a favourite genre of mine, so...
Title: EVANGELION: JoGenre: Anime, RPG, ActionRelease Date: 06/04Duuuuuude, despite being yet another Evangelion related product, this game look really good. I'm seriously hoping that someone makes a patch for this, since my Japanese is limited...very limited. ...
Title: ティアーズ・トゥ・ティアラ, Tears to TiaraGenre: Fantasy, Adventure, RomanceSo far, it's been pretty good. Nothing in the series has really bugged me yet, and the episodes have been enjoyable so far. There's still a good bit of the series left, and a few more characters that need to make their appearance, so I'm guessing it'll get better as it goes. ...
It starts on a very special day this year. From the looks of it, it'll be some nais eye candy. Hopefully, it doesn't end up like Queen's Blade though. Anyways here's the run down.Title: ファイト一発!充電ちゃん!!, Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-chan!!Genre: Comedy, EcchiAnimation Studio: Studio HibariTotal Episode Count: N/AAirs: 06/25 :'DSummary by megane007 @ mangaupdates.comJuden-chan is the name given to girls who work as OL which...
Title: アスラクライン, Asura Cryin', Asura KleinGenre: SupernaturalAwight, so this is one of the many series I look forward to every week. The story is still pretty much unknown at this point, and unless you've read the light novels, I don't think you'd be able to tell where this one's gonna go. It's given more questions than answers (if any have been given), and...
This week's song is sung by Kagamine Rin, and it sounds cool too! ;D ...
Title: パンドラハーツ, Pandora HeartsGenre: FantasySo far, the series has been pretty good. I'm a bit worried about the pacing though. seeing as the anime managed to get though...a few chapters of the manga. We're not even at the real story yet. I suppose that's why there are 25 episodes for it xD. Anyways, the sound track is awesome for the series. Btw, there's...
Title: ハヤテのごとく!!, Hayate no Gotoku!!, Hayate no Gotoku Season 2Genre: Comedy, RomanceThe whole crew's back for a whole new season, bringing along a few new characters. So far, nothing has really been that much different from the first season, unless you want to mention the fact that it's licensed by Crunchyroll. Anyways, I'm looking forwards to the later episodes, since there's a part...
Title: K-ON!, けいおん!Genre: Music, Comedy, Slice of LifeK-ON! is probably one of the biggest shows this season. In only 5 episodes (thus far), it's caused quite a splash in the otaku population and on the net. Guitars have been selling like hot cakes on a cold winter day, and we'll probably have a live concert with the seiyuu like Haruhi did. All in...
Title: 戦国BASARA, Sengoku BasaraGenre: Historical, ActionIt's Production I.G. What can I say? It's a good, strong series so far, that pretty much can be summarized by one word: war. If you've played Dynasty Warriors, then Sengoku Basara is no different. I've come to like Masamune more than Yukimura. The latter becomes a bit annoying after a few episodes, while Masamune retains that cool...
Title: 戦場のヴァルキュリア GALLIAN♦CHRONICLES, Senjou no Valkyria, Valkyria ChroniclesGenre: Military, Action, Drama, RomanceFrom the five or so episodes I've watched, this series is probably one of my favourites of this season. Being too poor to afford a PS3, the anime is the next best thing to playing the game (my computer sucks to much to handle it). With comical moments, good action, a dash...
Awight, so this time @ the Market, we spend a good bit (an hour or so) trying to unravel the mysteries of the cash sheets that didn't add up. It's very difficult to be short or over $100 or so, which was ze smoking gun of other problems. Anyways, we enlisted the help of the teacher in charge, who took more than a...
Title: Half and Half,Author: Seo KoujiGenre: shounen, romance, supernatural, tragedyTotal Volumes: 1 (oneshot)Kenn's comment: Good things come in small packages. From the same author of Kimi no Iru Machi, and Suzuka. A good read.Summary from MangaUpdates:Shinichi Nagakawa and Yuuki Sanada are both involved in an accident and die together. But they're given a chance to live again. God lets them live for seven...

1. Alrighty, I need to finish up catching up the series I'm following, and I'll start the 3-Episode rule. Actually, it's 4 by now, but what ever. 2. I've got a couple IRL stuff to blog about, which I've been procrastinating about.3. I've got to get those game reviews started. Been too lazy to start, but I know I probably should get it...
