Announcement! the 2011 Summer Season.

Hey there, everyone.
Sorry about the wait.
There are several projects I've started for this site but have hit stumbling blocks for. (My Baccano! DVD's, for example, don't let me take screen caps, it seems).

But here's what's in the works right now...

I always love watching things when they first come out in Japan. Sure, it's always a gamble, but it allows me to go into something having no idea what to expect. In addition, it's always fun to be able to point people in the direction of something they never would have heard of.

So, without further ado, here are the shows I'm watching from the current season (all of them will at least get a Glance-Through).

Blood C is the story of an extremely clumsy, kind girl who lives in a shrine. She cannot seem to take two steps without falling on her face. She fights demons.

This is one of Clamp's babies. The super-tall, super thin character designs don't seem to get in the way too much (Production IG is doing a good job). I have reasonably high hopes for this one... if I can get used to Saya's cheery attitude.

Nyanpire is a series of 5 minute shorts about a vampire cat and his other feline friends. Cutesy is the word of the day here. Very colorful. Not very thick on plot, but that hardly seems to be the point.

Subaru Hasegawa has quit basketball, but nevertheless has been roped into coaching the elementary-school girl's team. the team is full of passion, but none of the girls knows offense from defense. He eventually decides to help them achieve their goals.

This is really new for me. I've never seen a sports anime, and I almost never watch anything in this kind of style. Basketball and loli's... this is either going to be adorable, or REALLY uncomfortable.

Or possibly both, come to think of it.

Shion has everything going right for him. He is part of the most respected class in an extremely peaceful society. Things change for him, after a fugitive known only as Nezumi (rat) comes to him seeking shelter. Shion learns more about his society than he ever wanted to.

I have extremely high hopes for this series. SF Dystopia animated by Studio BONES with a sprinkling of very sweet, very subtle shonen-ai? Where could it possibly go wrong? guess I'll have to find out!

I want to thank the people who read this blog for sticking with me even though I never update. You guys are the best. Let's have a great season!
