Loose Odds and Ends

  • As a reminder, there are no new episodes of Basquash or Fullmetal Alchemist this week because of the 12th IAAF World Championships in Athletics. A new episode of Bakemonogatari, however, will be airing later today.
  • Speaking of Basquash, I really like the full version of the current ending song and have been listening to the newly released single all week. In contrast, I still don’t like the current Haruhi opening song and laughed when I saw how ridiculous the PV of it was. It certainly doesn’t make me think any better of Hirano Aya.
  • As much as I wanted to blog it because it’s a good series, I really can’t find the time for Sora no Manimani. School recently started again, and my final year of grad school is going to be a doozy. I would still recommend the show though (Jaalin likes it even more than I do).
  • A few people have asked me about my thoughts for the upcoming fall season, and while I haven’t done any significant research on it, my first impression was that it’s even more full of sequels than usual. There’s something like nine or ten of them out of less than thirty new shows, and it’s a shame there aren’t more completely original series. Regardless, I suspect I’ll definitely be watching Darker than BLACK, InuYasha, Railgun, and Kimi ni Todoke.

      Omni, why’d you have to link to the Super Driver PV? I liked it until I saw that… HORRENDOUS video.

    2. Tim

      Wait, a new season of InuYasha? O.O

    3. Sadiki

      Well, the Inuyasha anime ended because they weren’t sure when the manga would end. Now that the manga is over, they’re going to finish the anime.

    4. Tim

      That’s incredible news, especially for me. Sugoi! ^.^

    5. dmo

      I always assumed that Inuyasha ended in the middle of nowhere just to piss everyone off…never thought they’d actually finish it o___o…

    6. Val Varo

      Oh hell, I didn’t notice Kimi ni Todoke. I hope they do a good job with it.

    7. Eri

      I’ll definitely watch the animes that you’ve mentioned especially Kimi ni Todoke! 😛

    8. marsdrivein

      SORA NO MANIMANI IS AWESOME

    9. Samurai Pumpkin

      Where is that pic from? I can’t quite read the text.

    10. Harbin

      If you’re talking about the pic up top, it’s the album art for Basquash’s current ED. It’s amazing, and I recommend everyone to check it out 😀

    11. Meery

      Sweet, I can’t wait for some Biri-Biri action; glad you’re gonna watch.

    12. ahelo

      I WANT RAILGUN :))
      On the other hand does anyone here know the show fairy tail.
      The anime hasn’t started yet but lots of people are already excited about it.
      The manga’s really awesome.

    13. iNaZerZ

      I was wondering, Is there gonna be a new “Nodame Cantabile” Season?

    14. ciq666

      definitely going to watch railgun
      did not like the PV…music was fine, but the video…I guess it’s something the Japanese would like

    15. Kit-Tsukasa

      Basquash ED is epic. OP is only okay unfortunately. I NEED MY BASQUASH FIX!

    16. kabayongtao

      SnS anyone?

    17. Dan

      With regards to the Basquash ED theme, futari no yakusoku, its a strong song with a catchy tune.
      But, at the same time, there are some parts of the song that i strongly dislike as well.

    18. yUkishin

      yey..kimi ni todoke!!!!i really like taht manga..its a shame that the updates are slowT^T looking forward to its animated version..hope taht they’d do justice to it!

    19. Telzen

      New InuYasha huh? Now I have to go and download the first 160 or so episodes again. Hope all the voices are still the same.

    20. Diabolikul

      whats the name of the anime in the picture??

    21. SomeKindaNick

      I must say, that pic I caught of Ayu at 2:26 was totally worth watching that awful video.
      Made me lol quite a bit~

    22. Phosphatide

      Sora no Manimani is indeed a good series. I’ve been waiting for perhaps a year for something this simple and fun.

    23. BROOKLYN otaku

      really?? inuyasha? i wonder how he’ll beat naraku? DO YOU SUPPOSE he’ll use a wind fang attack? lots of demons out there, i sure hope they know how to guard against a wind fang attack!! UHH-OHH kagome’s in a pinch!!! everybody get down!! because here comes a wind fang attack!! NIGGA PLEASE!!
      lotta good stuff coming our way though. btw-what the heck is “trapeze” about?

    24. TyKH

      What? FMA not airing? Nooooooooooooooooooooooo

    25. Necco

      Shame about Sora no Manimani, I’m really enjoying the show…nice to see it blogged about, but oh well 🙂

    26. Backsun88

      yes inuyasha!! haha, i hope u will blog on that omni ^^. cant wait for fall to come 🙂

    27. I like both Hirano Aya and Super Driver! PV of it is very good, specially compared to all Michael Jacksons PVs, which are all horrible, as well as the “music” in them. Ridiculous hemorrhoid-sighing. Basquash music is somewhat artificial and laughable. “Cool”. Ha ha ha…

    28. ye4595

      @ iNaZerZ

      the 3rd season of nodame will air in winter 2010

    29. yuuji

    31. Sigmond

      I didn’t mind Super Driver…. Then I saw the PV, thanks a lot omni..

    32. jlyn101

      hmmm… Darker than BLACK for me too this fall.

      Speaking of FMA, ED2 PV is out. Lovely song.

    33. God~Knows~

    34. kkg22104

      I’m really sad that there’s no FMA this week, something significant will be missing from my Sunday T_T
      I’m excited about InuYasha though, and I was surprised they’re actually going to pick it back up…

    35. Lithium17

    38. Kairuu

      @Izzat & Samurai, it looks like the case art (or hidden booklet art) of Basquash ED (if my fail eyesight is right, the text says Futari no Yakusoku).

      Can’t recognize the characters cause I don’t watch the show, so ya know…

      Downloading ED now to make sure.

    39. Kairuu

      Yup, case art. (@ you too, Diabolikul, didn’t see you there).

    40. Kairuu
