THAT Animeblog

Kubo Tite finally releases the first artbook for the Bleach manga series titled “All Colour But The Black”! It will be out on the 4th of December but if you know Japanese you can try to pre-order it from Amazon Japan if they still have any stock left (I doubt so though).

The promo art on that advertisement looks bloody awesome and the vice-captains also finally get a colour spread for themselves too. Can’t wait to get my hands on it when Kinokuniya stocks it!

Now all you siscons/lolicons can sleep to the sweet lullabies (or whatever) sung by Kyon’s sweet little sister.

The release date is the 24th of January 2007, the price is ￥1000, and you can pre-order the CD now at the above link. Yours truly, however, will continue to remain faithful to the internet communities which he is a part of, and will not be contributing a single cent to the Japanese economy. Don’t let that stop you though! Remember, people breaking international copyright laws makes Ayu sad. Don’t make Ayu sad, or she’ll say ‘Uguu~’!

See if you can detect what anime these references come from. There might be more than one anime being repeated in this list.

The compiled list of 40 obsessions in the fall season

1. You see a busty woman in business clothing and you think of her as a crazy workaholic who hasn’t been getting laid.

2. You have an urge to eat Pizza Hut for some strange reason.

3. You start to wonder why your younger sister does not come in naked and ask you whether she turns you on.

4. You start singing whenever you are sad, deliberately being off key to show the depression.

5. You see a law book and start wondering if someone would jump out to attack or rock you senseless.

Winning first in our polls for the fairest trap with 28.1% of the voters is Sousuke from Full metal panic! *throws confetti*

According to you, he is considered to be the most charming trap-san among the various contestants, beating Berserker, Harima and other contenders. The Sousuke voters who are interviewed mentioned that his manliness has this form of charm that can translate into a wonderful trap, as well as the fact that his military style is pretty unique among trap-sans.

Second is the irresistible Kyon with his great harem. As seen in the picture, he has charmed 19.7% of our voters with his unique brand of meido and cosplay love! Harima came in a respectable third with 13.4%.. For the 13.5% who said ewww to traps, I swear you do not watch Otoboku. That’s it for the report!

….NOT stolen luckily. If not, I would curse and swear to kill Riku-kun completely for being a total harem character. No one can have their hands on her until it is proven without a shadow of a doubt that all other harem gals are out of the picture. She is the most innocent and hottest gal in Tokimeki Memorial ~Only love~ and the clones approved of her.

Spoiler for Episode 9 by the way, since this is based on it slightly in order to disguise my attempt to swoon at one of my favorite characters.

That said, Isn’t Mina so darn cute?

As some of you may have noticed, the poll topic has changed. It doesn’t have to do with anime (poll will be changed probably in a week or so), but I’m interested in what you all feel about the return of the console wars. I know, I know. This topic has already been kicked about everywhere now that the PS3 and Wii have hit the market just week ago. I still felt the need to write about this entire issue.

Well, here we go… the three contestants that have entered the console gaming fray. Mind you, I’m not going to go on blabbing and comparing specs or such amongst the three consoles. Those details can be found almost anywhere (besides, what would it prove? The entire topic is rather moot). Besides, I’m pondering on purchasing one of these systems this upcoming summer and am interested in various opinions, lol.

Poor Rachel looked like she’s eating something really terrible. Either that or she’s receiving…No, this is not Sumomo momomo, my apologies.

Read on for summary and thoughts. Sigh, the chinese release took a while, so this review took a while too.
