Okay, okay, I know that it’s officially spelled SO-RA-NO-WO-TO. But after years of writing out iDOLM@STER, I’ve had enough of silly Japanese typography and just want to write something that people will understand, like Sora no Woto. Anyway, the last batch of Crunchyroll announcements for this anime season are Sora no Woto and Hanamaru Kindergarten, [...]

Well, that pulled us out of the doldrums pretty quickly. Both simulcast king Crunchyroll and anime market leader FUNimation dropped the names of big titles today, with FUNimation rescuing Gainax’s FLCL from the defunct Synch-Point/Broccoli, and Crunchyroll starting up simulcasts of Durarara!! Both of these titles come with strong pedigrees. FLCL is one of Gainax’s best [...]

The official site has put up a new trailer for the January show about a group of street punks in the Ikebukuro district of Tokyo, where the locals are terrorized by what appears to be a motorcycling [...]

Kadokawa Anime’s YouTube channel has been updated with a trailer for January’s catgirls/fan-service extravaganza, Omamori Himari. It’s exactly what you’d expect it to be: bouncing boobs, plentiful panties, and catgirls acting sexy. Are you looking forward to this anime at all? If so, why?

Somewhat lost in the weekend’s flurry of anime announcements, the official site for Sora no Woto put up a 30-second streaming trailer for next month’s new anime series. The trailer plays a bit of the opening theme with narration from the main character, Kanata. Sora no Woto, which has been described as “K-On! in the [...]

I’m as big a fan of the tsundere character archetype as anyone. But in many cases, it’s so overused and formulaic that it becomes a parody of itself. Take the image above as an example. You may not know what you’re looking at above – that’s from the homepage of Mayoi Neko Overrun!, the series [...]

The official Broken Blade site (AKA “Break Blade”) has posted up a trailer for the first segment of its upcoming OAV series, and while sadly you can’t watch it unless you’re in Asia, you can at least see the cast and story of the fantasy/mecha hybrid.
