Random Musings - Jumping the Shark Edition September 6

-For those of you who are Densha Otoko fans, there will be a 2-hour special airing at 9:00PM JST on September 23rd, 2006 called 「電車男デラックス~最後の聖戦~」 (Densha Otoko Deluxe ~The Last Crusade~). According to the first announcement from back in July, Densha Otoko is planning to marry Saori, but along comes a new rival (played by Kitamura Kazuki). It will apparently take place in Tahiti and will also feature Saori’s grandfather (played by Fujimura Shunji), along with most of the original cast (including Shiraishi Miho). I’m interested, but it’s more like cautiously optimistic. A special like this can easily turn out to be complete crap. Incidentally, Sept. 23rd is the same day as the last episode of Blood+.

-The web preview of the next episode of Zero no Tsukaima is up.

Looks like Louise really is getting married, although her eyes look kind of dead in that fifth screencap. And why does that appear to be the Prince of Wales marrying them…?

-Rumor has it that the ending song to the final episode of Fate/stay night, 「君との明日」 (Kimi to no Ashita), performed by Tainaka Sachi, will be released on November 22nd, 2006. This is based on rumblings about it on various bbs, but I haven’t seen any concrete proof yet (i.e. an Amazon.co.jp or Neowing listing or something similar). We’ll have to wait and see for more news.

-And finally, some good news and bad news. Bad news: it seems that Naakay will be unable to blog Honey and Clover II. For now, that show is in limbo because I don’t have the time to blog it myself. Good news: on the other hand, wh0sj0hngalt is signing onto the team to help out with the rest of Ouran High School Host Club.

   >>>Rumor has it that the ending song to the final episode of Fate/stay night will be released on November 22nd, 2006.

   I’d rather they release “Hikari” (ED Ep 14) before that.

    So blood is actually 50 episodes TV, I wonder if the rumoous of 2 DVD only episodes is true.

    Blood+ is the perfect example of “Jumping the Shark” ever since 39, this show has been unbearable.

    Omni did u mix the info of the fate Ed up?? coz i read at jyukai’s official blog that they are gonna be releasing their 1st album and it will include Hikari(ep 14’s ed) in it.

    Here’s the info:
    更に1ｓｔアルバムリリース決定！
    2006/11/22発売
    GNCX-1001/3,000円（定価）
    TVアニメ「Fate/stay night」の14話で放送され話題となった楽曲「ヒカリ」含む全12曲収録予定！

    Now I am not sure about Tainaka sachi. Maybe she will release her album then as well. Keeping fingers crossed for the 2 wonderful songs to be released together..~~

13. mimi at 7:13 am on September 7th, 2006

    Hah !? Hikari was releashed too !!

    But it releashed in full song or TV series ?

14. Omni at 10:51 am on September 7th, 2006

    Nope, I definitely read from multiple unofficial sources that it was タイナカサチ - 「君との明日」 on 11月22日.

15. cyw1988 at 10:07 pm on September 7th, 2006

    @Omni: Oh ok then let us all hope that the unofficial sources are correct so that we have the 2 wonderful songs released on the same day.

    @Mimi: probably the full version as it is released together with 11 other songs on jyukai’s debut album. Now which album doesn’t contain full songs? LOL
