Stylish supernatural parody anime 化物語 / Bakemonogatari, “Monster Story”, has just aired, and in its first episode it has immediately attracted attention for the mysterious sideline in schoolgirl pantsu it is operating; both the skirt fluttering fancy pantsu exposure and the anime itself can be seen in some detail below:
The second season of Haruhi is finally underway, and it takes the already confused airing order of the series and makes it more so. However, the apparent airing order has been worked out…
I care about Yuki.... More
We've entered an endless recursion of time. That was pretty much expected. Either that, they'd air the anime twice. We knew there won't really be any new Haruhi whatsoever. KADOKAWA TROLLING = godlike.... More
The latest and increasingly unawaited novel in the Haruhi series, 涼宮ハルヒの / Suzumiya Haurhi no Kyougaku (The Shock of Suzumiya Haruhi), by 谷川流 / Nagaru Tanigawa, looks to have been delayed yet another year, the second time it has been delayed.
It now looks as if three years will elapse before any new release in the formerly popular series…
I am STILL gonna be a Suzumiya fan. :[ Even without a conclusion, it's still amazingly done.... More
Oh, the more recent delyas is down to negotiations over payment, I believe. The publication company is uming and ahing over the amount they should pay for the story. Personaly, I believe they should just pay... More
Quality anime Akikan has attracted attention not only for its unique production values, but also for the bizarre treatment it metes out to its seiyuu. Above is the spectacle seiyuu 大久保藍子 / Aiko Okubo was reduced to, cosplaying a monkey whilst reading the ecchi bits from the original novel.
Below you see some of the previous costumes she wore whilst reading similar ecchi passages at each episode’s end:
Tsundere light novel series Toradora! is confirmed as concluding in the tenth volume, to be released March; this is thought to coincide neatly with the ending of the anime, for an ending many are already praising for its discipline in refraining from becoming a long and drawn out franchise more interested in merchandising than in coherent narrative.
Of course whether the ending will be any good or not is another matter…
It has been known for some time that the author of the original Zero no Tsukaima light novels, ヤマグチノボル/ Noboru Yamaguchi, was originally a writer of scenarios for adult games, but now we hear that even the illustrator responsible for the design of Louise and company, 兎塚エイジ / Eiji Usatsuka, is in fact an eroge “graphicker” too.
It seems that for years he risked being sacked from his work at eroge maker Visual Arts with his secret moonlighting, in fact being uncovered with the aid of Wikipedia by one of the writers of Clannad.
Sharp eyed and artistically literate 2channers spotted this “tribute” in the illustrations to the fourth volume of the novel 人類は衰退しました / Man Has Decayed, by noted eroge scenario writer 田中 ロミオ / Romeo Tanaka.
Here we have a complete set of yet to be revealed (in the anime at least) characters from A Certain Magical Index, which as you know has an extensive series of light novels already published.
Some rather nice character designs look to be in evidence; considering the success of the series, might we be seeing these in future seasons?

Horo fans can rejoice, as the official Spicy Wolf site has been updated with the news that kami romance anime and light novel series 狼と香辛料 / Spice and Wolf is due for anime continuation, with a new season in the works.
The original cast looks set to reprise their roles, but release details are not yet forthcoming. Tide yourselves over in the meantime…
Have you ever thought about writing an ebook or guest authoring on other sites? I have a blog based upon on the same subjects you discuss and would really like to have you share some... More
I can't wait to see a new season of Spice and Wolf...I love the first!... More
Interesting news comes from the recent Dengeki Books Autumn Festival; those involved in famed tsundere magical girl anime 灼眼のシャナ / Shakugan no Shana appeared on stage “hinting” at the prospect of a new season.
Magical nun anime とある魔術の禁書目録 / A Certain Magical Index finally airs, and the title looks to be very promising. Ample magical powers, drama, and comedy, along with some interesting nun stripping action, are brought together with excellent production values, making A Certain Magical Index an anime with broad appeal.
