Anime!

Lets get right into the Anime goodness with the most recent anime title I viewed. The title of this Anime is Midori no Hibi, a small 13 episode anime dealing with the story of Sawamura Seiji. Sawamura grows up never having a girlfriend thanks to his deliquent behaviors, but has tried countless times to "confess" to a girl. Everytime he tries it's always too aggressive which scares off the girl and leaves him depressed and angry.

Venus Versus Virus is a Japanese manga series created by Atsushi Suzumi which got serialized in the Japanese Manga, Dengeki Comic Gao! (which is also why I started to buy it to read and flip through the manga) in mid 2005. A drama CD was then created based on the manga series. I don’t have the orginal one but I do have one special drama CD that was given with December 2006 issue of Dengeki Comic Gao!.

Amazing how Kagome and Miroku survives in the (literally) blazing fire. Oo

Two weeks into the new year and I’ve already checked off one of my resolutions for 2007 - attending a convention. This past weekend I went to Sac-Anime and decided to interview some of the vendors and artists, using my MP3 player’s built-in microphone. So over the rest of this week, I’ll be posting audio from those interviews along with transcriptions because it might hard to hear what’s being said when there are hundreds of people in the same building.

I’m actually writing this post because I got excited after finally watching Genshiken #13 (OVA #1) which gg released overnight. I think I should start by saying that I didn’t think I missed Genshiken THIS much prior to watching this OVA. I really feel like watching the original TV series (yet again).

There was an error in Genshiken 13’s TL caused by Editor dyslexia. Sentence was fine, but alas, “don’t” was missing. So, here is a fixed script you can remux yourself if you’d like. Visit the “Howto steal our subs” segment on the playback page if you’re unfamiliar with MKV Merge.

I’m on a roll! Here’s a cute song for you guys, theme song of 花样少年少女 (Hana Kimi):

It’s the beginning of Sasahara’s third year in university. Madarame and Sasahara discuss the possibility of any new members joining, recalling that Kasukabe scared all potential new members off the previous year. Kugayama is busy looking for a job, Ohno and Tanaka are shopping for cosplay material, and Kohsaka and Kasukabe just returned fom a date. Kuchiki shows up at the club room, and after some annoying rambling Kuchiki Joins Your Party… uh I mean Genshiken.

I totally forgot that the Rozen Maiden OAV came out before Christmas. I’ve got that one downloading now. I watched Winter Garden, but it didn’t do anything for me seeing how I’ve never seen Di Gi Charat. I did laugh at “I made a 4koma for you”, though. The Genshiken OAV was exactly what I expected it to be: a more or less identical version of the same scene in the manga.

Anime distribution mogul Bandai Entertainment recently made history when they decided on a clever blend of parody, cosplay, and viral marketing to tell fans about the North American licensing of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
