Loose Ends

  • I spent a ton of time sick this week and am still not feeling great from an apparent stomach virus (thankfully it wasn’t related to the TB). I will note though that I’ve now learned the stark difference between public health services and private health services.
  • I can’t say I’m shocked about the new Shakugan no Shana and Darker than BLACK anime announcements - more Shana was only a matter of time, and DtB I had heard a rumor about recently. For now, it’s pretty likely that I’ll end up blogging both of them whenever they come around.
  • In regard to this week’s chapter of Bleach, Show Spoiler ▼
  • And speaking of manga, what was with the recent To Love-Ru/Black Cat crossover (spoilers)? I know it’s not technically a crossover since they’re not the exact same set of characters, but it was close enough. It made me wish Yabuki Kentarou would go do more Black Cat manga.
  • I haven’t heard many good new songs this week, but this one by Oku Hanako stuck with me. It’s not in any way connected to CLANNAD, but it really reminds me of the series, especially the middle parts and the chorus.
  • Since it’s that time of the season again, I’ve started writing the Summer 2009 Preview. There are only about 19 or 20 new shows premiering, but that’s more or less on par with previous years. Nothing really catches my eye though at first glance.

      Awww hope you feel better soon Omni :(
      As for the sequels to the SnS and DtB, YESH!!!! They’ve been in need and answered.
      Bleach was kinda meh, I agree with your thoughts. I remember having to scroll up and down to see her full bankai though xD to like double check.
      Yabuki Kentarou should make more black cat ;A; To Love-Ru… hardly any storyline really in my words, lol. Can read any chapter after getting grasp of main characters. So I’ve been reading the series randomly, but enough to have seen the big crossover.
      Wow, the song Waratte Waratte is a really nice song :D! It really sound CLANNADish at the chorus, along with the keyboard notes with it too.
      Lastly, yay, I humbly await Summer 2009 previews ^___^ glad it starts after my exams :S

      Its been along time since we’ve heard from Arcade and his Daily Doses, So I wonder if there’s any news at all…..Anyways, I hope you get better Omni, try drinking some ginger-ale.

    4. Silivious at 3:47 am on June 6th, 2009

      Sweetness. :D
      Get better Omni. :)

    5. Yojimbo at 4:01 am on June 6th, 2009

      Yay for more Shana. Hopefully more good anime that had open endings get sequels since the anime in the past few seasons haven’t that great. I’m itching for some more Full Metal Panic >.<

    6. God~Knows~ at 4:23 am on June 6th, 2009

      I had to check if I was reading the right manga when I got my hands on the latest To Love chapter…

    7. baka~ at 4:35 am on June 6th, 2009

      im quite ashamed to admit that i’ve grown very dependent on this site especially when it comes to the season anime releases. simply put, i wouldn’t have any ideas what will come out unless omni releases that important post.

      at any rate, will jc be mimicking what sunrise did (by alternating 00 and geass air times) this time alternating shana and to aru index/railgun? i just hope they wont screw up like with what happened to geass where the staff became too reliant on the schedule (im still baffled by how the airing dates of geass affected its success).

      oh and about bleach

      And the song is beautiful !

      It seems like 2009 will indeed be an interesting year, and finally, confirmation for Shana! Yay! Oh, and take care of yourself Omni~ :P

    10. Tokkan at 6:15 am on June 6th, 2009

      Summer shows that interest me - 1. Umineko no Naku Koro ni
      Reason - I was a fan of Higurashi and more from the same creator is welcome.

    11. SirMuffin at 6:37 am on June 6th, 2009

      Haha! I don’t even read To-Love-Ru but I’ve watched it and read black cat. That chapter was awesome! Really reminds me of black cat… Ah… Nostalgic, isn’t it?

    12. shio at 7:04 am on June 6th, 2009

      awww, the cover looks hawt :)

      Get better omni :)

    13. psyborg at 7:38 am on June 6th, 2009

      Waratte Waratte sounds like a song from the ’90s … i like it.

    14. brianleung8912 at 8:01 am on June 6th, 2009

      more loli wif sword… does it for me :D

    15. Ninja Penguin at 8:19 am on June 6th, 2009

      That cover really makes me want to molest a anime loli. More Shana is good! :D

    16. Eclair at 8:37 am on June 6th, 2009

      Come on, her bankai is awesome. It’s Kubo using humor.

      Her shikai is a stinger.

      Her bankai is a stinger missile.

      It’s brilliant.

    17. Eclipse at 9:18 am on June 6th, 2009

      I’m glad Shana is finally back for another season! I was beginning to worry it wouldn’t happen.

    18. Espada at 9:29 am on June 6th, 2009

      i agree with you omni… but we dont know what kind of missile she fired xD

      get well omni! ^^b

    19. baka~ at 9:30 am on June 6th, 2009

      nice one eclair :D

      that does make sense… but im still doubtful that thing is a missile X_X

    20. Stan at 10:17 am on June 6th, 2009
