Yeees, FUNimation has started their announcements for Ouran High School Host Club– and not a moment too soon, seeing as they announced it last July, and I think they’d had it for a while before then –starting with the director, who will be Caitlin Glass (aka Winry in Fullmetal Alchemist and director of Hell Girl). FUNi [...]

A little over a week ago I started watching Ouran because I figured I might get some enjoyment out of it for a few reasons: I usually enjoy Bones series, it was recommended to me by someone whose opinion I respect, and it’s the twelfth top rated show on MyAnimeList. Not that the last point [...]

So apparently the thing about the Ouran dating sim is true. Sounds fun. It's coming out April 19th, everybody. As for Kamichama Karin, its premiere date was announced too-- April 6. Wonder if they picked Good Friday on purpose. Sorry for the short entry.

After a while of not checking Chuang Yi which publishes English versions of some shoujo manga I'm following (or would like to start reading), I found out that the company released the following titles in the last quarter of 2006. *scribbles furiously to edit her To Buy list* Included among the upcoming titles is volume 21 of Takaya Natsuki-sensei's Fruits Basket (I will provide the street date

If you’ve ever seen a Star Wars movie (just say yes), you’ve probably heard George Lucas proclaim he made deliberate use of Joseph Campbell’s monomyth theory when he wrote his script. Over the past several decades, the idea that most great myths and epics follow a similar structure has grown to nauseating levels of [...]

4. Ouran High School Host Club When I come across someone who doesn’t care for Ouran High School Host Club, it always throws me for a loop. Why? Because, in my opinion, it’s one of the most consistently funny and entertaining anime series to come out of Japan in recent years, and even [...]

For a long while now, I've been wanting to go back to fanfic writing: up until last week, my most "recent" fic was a Meteor Garden/Hanadan one and written way back in 2003. Meteor Garden II aired in 2002 so any way you do the math, that's a hella long hiatus. Considering my wub for anime/manga, it stood to reason that if I were to take up a pen again, it would be because of an animanga fandom.

Before you start, listen to this song. Ever since I first heard it, I've had it play on repeat a couple of times whenever I write my Ouran posts. It's become one of my favorites.. So that's it for Ouran. Though technically this is my post on the last episode, if anyone still keeps up with [...]
