1. Looks like Yamakan doesn’t know what he’s talking about after all regarding the length of Endless Eight.
2. Hopefully, everyone in Japan’ll be boycotting the sale of Endless Eight.
3. Kyoto Animation is saying as if Yamakan had nothing to do with their company. Bitter drama brewing now? He’s just telling it like it is, so piss off. If the DVDs don’t sell, it’s obvious why they don’t, good quality animation or not.

   Also for the record, there is a relationship between Yamakan and KyoAni.

Just went out today and found that there do exist knockoffs of model kits, like the 1/144 HG Exia. The labeling is instead in Chinese, and when you inspect the parts closely, you will notice that they are slightly deformed/damaged, and the parts have too much of a gloss. I’m pretty sure if you tried assembling the parts, they would be very likely to snap/break apart, etc.

Wow, Kyoto Animation is totally trolling people right now.

You may have noticed sites like Minori‘s (archive) have been claiming foreign outcry being the reason for the troubles the eroge companies have been encountering, and that we should do something about it. That apparently, we, the foreign people, who do not hold a Japanese citizenship, should mail the Japanese government, and try to convince them to stop this. (more…)

But not broadcast as such. Here is why:

There’s a role in here called “HD Editing”. This role is also present in shows like Gundam 00, the new Fullmetal Alchemist, .hack//GU Trilogy, etc. Shows like the first season of Haruhi, CLANNAD, Kanon, and other shows animated in SD do not have this role.

Now before you say anything, none of the TV stations are airing this in HD probably on part of Kyoto Animation’s. It’s likely that there will be a Blu-ray set for the second season (I doubt they would do the first season, and if they do, it’s likely going to be a resize like AIR).

Since Haruhi’s started over again, this time with 28 episodes, I have a couple of possible episode schedules that might come into play.

tl;dr version: It turns out Nagi in Kannagi might not be a virgin, and the otaku are all up in arms, threatening to throw out their manga over the ordeal.

I’d agree with the author on the “Perhaps these wretches would like to file for virtual divorce”.

Let’s see what I’ve got on my plate…

1. Toradora!
2. Clannad After Story
3. Kannagi -Crazy Shrine Maidens-
4. To Aru Majutsu no Index
5. Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Second Season

Previously I had gone over what would happen with Kyoto Animation’s adaptation of CLANNAD in terms of alternate universes. Here’s another one. (more…)
