First off, a trace I’ve been trying to finish on and off for the last week. Finally got it finished today, from the ending credits of Minami-ke. May look a little wierd in 4:3/5:4 aspects, not much I could do about that without cutting Kana and Haruka off.

On to other news. NegativeZero pointed out a neat little site on his blog called My Anime List. It’s a kind of a Facebook-ish AJAX site where you can create a list of the anime you have watched and own. Kinda neat. My profile is here, tho somewhat incomplete.

I’ve updated the Wallpapers page of the site too, so now it’s current. Recent entries include: Manabi Straight, Nagasarete Airantou, Gurren Lagann and Kiddy Grade 2.

I’m back in the anime fansubbing scene too. I’ve joined a group called Subbers Anonymous, doing timing for a show called Shion no Ou. Keep an eye out for the SA releases (I’ll be doing the timing from ep 3 and hopefully onwards from there), and feel free to join us at #SubbersAnonymous on irc.rizon.net.

October Anime

I thought a post was long overdue. I’ve got a fresh wallpaper in the works, but until I finish that, I thought I’d post a few of the new shows I’ll be watching over the next few months.

Clannad
If you don’t know about this one, then I don’t know you. Obvious choice, looks good, should be a chance for Kyoto Animation to redeem themselves after letting Lucky Star drag on for a few too many episodes. And of course, by a few, I mean about twelve.

Minami-ke
I heard pretty much nothing about this series until yesterday. But when I heard it described as Lucky Star without the suck, I felt like a kid who has just heard the ice cream van pulling into the street. Appears to involve a lot of shin-kicking, sister kissing and much less Haruhi.

Did I mention pancakes? It features pancakes.
Mmm, golden brown...

ef - a tale of memories
Not sure what to think about this one. Looks just a little cliched. But what the hell, the art looks good, and I live in the hope that this will turn out a little like sola, which for the record, is now one of my favourites of all time.

Blue Drop
Again, like ef, this one could go either way. It looks good visually, and — as Negs put it — features Space Yuri, so it could be alright. But it’s a Gonzo series. That said, I can’t be too harsh on poor old Gonzo, because what I’ve watched of Kaze no Stigma so far has been pretty good (I must catch up with that series), much better than a certain other anime studio which produces maybe one series every 2 years, and manages to make an abortion out of every single one of them.

That studio shall remain nameless.
