Index-chan, of To Aru Majutsu no Index is so cute! I’m really liking this series. And the OP and ED are not too bad either. The guy reminds me of Ikki from Air Gear, probably it’s the hair. The animation quality and magical effects are pretty good, and the seiyuus, while most of them are rather unknown still, I have no problem with. You won’t regret watching this.

Shikabane Hime Aka is next on the to watch list, is pretty awesome too. Hot sexy scarred body running and jumping around with guns ablazing (2 uzis if I’m not mistaken?). Episode 01 so far seems like a ton of fun.

Ef ~A Tale of Melodies~ is the sequel to the previous title, ~A Tale of Memories~. So I’m hoping it lives up to the standard of the first season. Haven’t got time to watch it yet though… Same goes for Kuroshitsuji and Dead Girls OVA, which is a sequel of Red Garden.

Whatever it is, and whether you played the game or not (which you should!), Tales of the Abyss should be somewhere near the top of your to watch list. Along with To Aru Majutsu no Index, and Toradora!, get that clear? =D

Oh yeah, the updates.

Here’s an interesting fine. It’s an ONA titled Eve no Jikan, the English version being Time of Eve. What’s this? Another Tanaka Rie appearance! Seems like she’s been rather busy lately, not that I’m complaining or anything, if anything, I’m really happy! And this time, she’s pairing up with Fukuyama Jun (Lelouch for those who didn’t know). Should be fun listening to the dialogues in this mini series too. Digital celestial ring-thingies used to differentiate androids, looks pretty funky. UPDATE: I’ve watched it. I love it. Based on Asimov’s “Three Laws of Robotics”. And as usual the roles Tanaka Rie play are cute as ever. Yukana playing Akiko-chan is pretty cute too.

GUNDAAAAAAM! More hectic double-oh madness to send our peaceful lives into utter confusion and awe. Um, maybe take away the “awe” for now. I was expecting to be blown away, but unfortunately I was being too optimistic. But, this is just a prelude of season 02 where they basically introduce how everyone’s doing after 4 years of bumming around. Hopefully doubly-owh has more tricks up its sleeves and will smash that lousy impression into smithereens. Can’t say anything more without spoiling it, so go watch it, and get excited for episode 02. And why the heck is practically everyone that was supposedly caught in an explosion or something last season still alive?!

An now let me introduce you to Tear Grants, the hottest chick in 2D as far as I’m concerned. You can find her in the newly released anime version of Tales of the Abyss. Tear is voiced by Yukana, which many would know from the voice of C.C. (I also mentioned her above for Eve no Jikan). 2 cours, or 26 episodes for an adaptation of an RPG game, should be alright-ish. I remember traveling back and forth several places a number of times in the game, so those can all be omitted, be my guest. I’m still gonna watch it just for pure Tear hotness. Oh, they slice monsters like slicing butter with a hot knife… wtf?

We have more new releases this season. Kannagi aka Crazy Shrine Maidens, To Aru Majutsu no Index, Casshern Sins, Kurogane no Linebarrels and Rosario to Vampire Capu2 too. These last few are not really high on my watch list, so will have to wait until I have more time.

Oh, Toradora! was AWESOME. Akane Iro ni Somaru Saka was… I’m probably watching it for the seiyuus (voice cast). Clannad was so-so. A number of animes also came to an end this week. However I think the new offerings cover the gapping hole left behind by the old series’ pretty well.

Ok, Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka. Let’s see, the Seiyuus (voice actors) include Kugimiya Rie (Tsundere Queen), Hirano Aya (Uh, Haruhi? XD), Katou Emiri (Hiiragi Kagami from Lucky Star), Hazuki Erino (Mizunashi Akari from ARIA), Inoue Marina (Yoko from Gurren Lagann), Hirohashi Ryou (Alice Carroll from ARIA), Fukuhara Kaori (Hiiragi Tsukasa from Lucky Star), Koyama Rikiya (Shinigami-sama from Soul Eater), and my most-est, favorite-est, Tanaka Rie too (Chii~). I’m totally sold, and will watch it til the end even if it rains meteors half the story and repeats recycled scenes for 15 minutes of each episode.

For me it even tops Clannad ~After Story~ because Tanaka Rie is just too awesome. Oh, did I mention After Story is out too? ^__^;; It’s Hitode mode time!

Another example of a Rierie win. Toradora, Tanaka Rie, Oohara Sayaka (Only my 2nd most-est, favorite-est seiyuu), Kugimiya Rie. Pure Win. See? It’s not too hard to calculate. XD Horie Yui’s in there too. Anyway, seems highly anticipated, should be good too. (it’s got Rierie and Sakaya in it how can it be bad?)

Hirano Aya is also busy with another new project, titled Hyakko. It’s also got Horie Yui in it, so should be alright. Don’t recognize the other seiyuus in the cast.

All 4 new series have seiyuus that I like in them. Needless to say, all in my watch list, as it’s too powerful a geass to dispell. Have an awesome weekend, let’s go meet the new series’ shall we?

This was a pretty good/sad month! Many Awesome animes have ended including Macross Frontier, Code Geass R2, and Itazura Na kiss! I’m gonna miss all those animes. 

I didn’t really like Macross’s ending because Alto didn’t choose a girl, he took both that B#@$%&d. Well the ending didn’t really leave any space for a season 2 so I would assume that there wouldn’t be another season.

However, There is hope for Geass! The way the anime ended left a lingering thought that another season would be released. I believe that there won’t be a R3 but it would be called something else cause It won’t be a rebellion after this and I went through the trouble to get a screenshot of Nunally for you guys XD. This is Nunally for the first time she has changed her clothes. 

Now back to the main reason why I’m posting, the progress update.

The site is back to normal, the downloads are fine and the amount of visitors are gradually increasing! Thanks to everyone. Well with our new server I believe the site is more stable XD
