New anime season

A new anime season is starting soon. It got some great titles amongst it. Already know what you are going to watch? Here's a chart with some images.

Not sure what I'm going to watch. There are some second seasons like Gundam 00 s2, Rosario x Vampire capu 2 and Clannad After Story. Also some promising manga/light novel adaptations like Tora Dora, Kemeko DX and Kannagi. One sure watch is TV adaptation of Kyou no 5 no 2. There are still more interesting titles out there. Guess I will have to look at the first eps before I can decide.

try it if you got some time to spend.
I got stuck/annoyed at stage 41

Typing Mania 4

Remember Typing Mania? A while ago the Typing Mania 4 was released. Looks like someone set it up with some anime songs. Easy mode is doable. Normal is quite a challenge. Didn't tried hard or nightmare. It also has a different romanisation as in shi->si and tsu->tu.

Go here to play.

Good Smile Company english website

Good Smile Company, well known for the high quality figures it produce, has launched a new english website. I must say it looks great and with the large images, it is great for deciding what figure to get when the amount of money you got is limited. The next step would be user reviews and overseas ordering facilities. For people that know dannychoo.com it will look familiar as it is running on Mirai Gaia the platform created by Danny Choo.

next MG gundam

It was confirmed a while ago, the Infinite Justice from Seed Destiny is the next MG model. Releasing in October Hobbysearch has it already for preorder. It looks nice, though it does not have as much features as the Strike Freedom to play with. It would stand nice next to my Strike Freedom.
mmm i'm tempted...

The anime business model

Zepy made a nice post about the anime industry.

Knew production of anime isn't cheap but not that expensive. It does explain the high prices for anime DVDs in Japan though. Makes me wonder how much pizza hut paid for the in-anime ads in Code Geass
