Sangokuden is finally getting an anime!!

Many fans have asked if theres any anime of Sangokuden after watching the animated promo clips of the series. The news was announced on Thursday(today) at the Bandai booth in the 49th All Japan Plamodel Hobby Show. More details to come at a later date.

Pic from twitpic, news source ANN

From that picture it looks like it might be a 3DCG (I think the term is cell-shaded?) anime like the previous SD Gundam Force anime, perhaps in the style of the recent Senjin Kettou Hen PV. Will be disappointed if its 3DCG but happy nevertheless for SD Gundams getting another anime after a long time.

Do drop by at Ngee Khiong’s to see pics of many new kits including pics of the new Sangokuden and Sengokuden releases. (Doubt that I’ll have time to do some rant post about them)

[EDIT] Added the teaser video from Ngee Khiong’s into the playlist.

劇場版「空の境界」殺人考察(後)

Looks like amazon.jp has updated their database and the last disc for Kara no Kyoukai wraps up the 7-DVD plot. You can pre-order now, link on the Japanese text above. Cover looks damn sweet, a must buy for me.

Release date for the DVD is on the 9th of December this year. =D

Parallel Hearts by FictionJunction : OP for Pandora Hearts

I have never touched on the anime, but after hearing Parallel Hearts and MAZE up ‘live’ at Animelo 2009 this year with Fictionjunction and Savage Genius feat. Tomoe Ohmi respectively, there might be a slightest chance I’ll catch the anime when I have the chance.

Or rather, doujinshi on local news. This is the first time I’ve seen doujinshi mentioned on a newspaper, so congratulations are in order.

The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya Season 2 : Episode 1
My first impressions

Well here we are again with a new release of the well rumoured Haruhi Suzumiya season 2, a lot of people stated it was fake, wasn’t going to be made etc etc. But here it is surprising everyone and looking good with a kick-start that everyone wanted to see

the episode revolves around the “Quad Scribbles” incident were Haruhi was said to have drawn a strange symbol on the school Quad. and it goes back into the first ever Haruhi episode. were this was mentioned and Haruhi says to Kyon “have we met before, like in a past life or something”. turns out they had met before. Well without giving away to much detail and spoiling it for everyone I have to say this episode was a great way to kick of the new season, and I look forward to the english dubbed versions’ to come out soon enough.

Keep on rocking, Haruhi!

Review: The Meloncholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Rating: 9.2/10

Thoughts:

Well coming right off the bat i’ll have to say this is a very decent anime to anyone, even towards the non anime freaks, it can be viewed in full english which not many anime do these days or in Japanese which is a bit of a bonus.

The story is quite impressive, bringing 5 people together and many character’s into a vital story and going through strange experience’s together, Haruhi herself has to be the best character, she’s always ready to go and get out there.

No doubt Kyon is great, he’s the one keeping haruhi at bay. but i wont give away to much, the graphical design is beyond clear which is greatly done. pleasing to the eye, no doubt its light hearted. Which is what I enjoyed about it the most is amongst the serious side, they kept it funny, enjoyable and extremely light hearted and fairly sensible.

Though no doubt it holds its dramatic moments to keep you wondering whats going to happen next and has it’s morally intriguing points

Great series and a great anime, soon i will blog about season 2.

Remember the new SD Gundam Gashapon series previously mentioned?

Yup, the manga for the series will start this month on Kero Kero Ace.
Theres a short preview manga on the August issue of Kero Kero Ace, thought that I can share it with everyone.

So get to know more about the “shadow” after the jump!

The moment after I bought the Seventh Heaven album of Kalafina, I became an instant fan. Well, not like I didn’t like the group in the first place, but I ‘upgraded’ from an appreciative listener to a fan.

So I went around looking for links, and found 2 non-English sites that covered quite a bit about them. But one of them is their own blog. HAHHAHA.

====


Niki, and her blog スタート – ACG | 声優 雜談 talks predominantly about Nana Mizuki and Kalafina. The blog’s in Traditional Chinese, but her comments and ‘reviews’ are quite amusing and slightly fangirl-ish.

Of course, the next one is Kalafina’s own blog. Wakana likes to write entries that are broken up (similar to May’n’s), Keiko occasionally has weird kao-moji, and Hikaru’s the prim and proper writer in the group… somewhat. Their staff also updates the blog occasionally. Not to mention that they have nice and large pictures taken before and after their live performances <3

I leave the rest up to your imagination and expression after watching the following video, from her DVD special released yesterday.
