Back…again?

Gotta love those anime about vampires.

Gotta love those anime about vampires.

Well, shite, I haven’t been posting for almost…what…six months? What happened? WoW happened. Right after I finished making some changes to this site, 3.0 came out and well…nevermind.

So I started watching Rosario+Vampire three months ago. It’s about a human who gets stuck in a school for monsters. He meets a sexy girl who’s actually a vampire. He pretty much stays in the school because of her. Despite the horrible jokes and annoying fanservice, it is actually a decent anime. The manga is really good though. I haven’t seen the second season, Rosario+Vampire Capu 2, yet but I’d assume it would continue from where it left off and follow the manga more closely this time around (seriously…). The second season should’ve ended on Christmas but I’m not sure if subbers have finished it yet. Nonetheless, the manga is still ongoing.

Fanservice and boobies. Lots of it.

Fanservice and boobies. Lots of it.

I also started watching Ikkitousen recently. The plot recites an ancient Chinese legend, Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Basically, the spirits of the warriors 1800 years ago are reborned in these Japanese kids who fight rival schools for…world domination. The story follows Sonsaku Hakufu who is one of the three conquerors from the legend. She’s stupid, well-endowed and plain annoying if you lasted through the dubbed version. She harbors a “dragon” that gives her immense amounts of power.

It is an old anime that started at 2003. That first season was total CRUD. The dubbed version can be found somewhere on the interweb if you search hard enough.

I’m on the second season, Ikkitousen Dragon Destiny, and the plot seems much more coherent. I also liked the transition of protagonists. Although Sonsaku is still an important character, she doesn’t appear as much. /cheer for Kan’u. I’m guessing the last season, Ikkitousen Great Guardians, will be back to Sonsaku as the center of attention. >:

BTW: DVD version of Ikkitousen has a lot of uncensored goodness. lawl.

Nanoha Movie 1st this Winter 2009.

Well, crap, I’m a bit late. It was really announced a day or so ago but I was too occupied with trying to beat a friend in a leveling competition on WoW. lol.

Anyway, apparently, there will be a new movie for the series Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha. For those who don’t already know, it’s about the adventures of an ordinary elementary school girl who accidentally gained magical powers and uses it to…save the world…and other dimensions?

ANN:

The 100th issue (on sale on July 30) of Gakken’s Magami Magazine will announce that a Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha film, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha The MOVIE 1st, will open in Japan this winter. The movie will retell the first story of Nanoha Takamachi, an ordinary third-grade girl who becomes a magical girl in search of Jewel Seeds from another world, and Fate Testarossa, another magical girl competing for the Jewel Seeds. Franchise creator Masaki Tsuzuki emphasized that the movie is not necessarily the “true history” of the story, but a “new parallel history.”

It seems that the movie will be out sometime January to March of 2009. It’s back to the first series where Nanoha fights Fate for the Jewel Seeds…blahblahblah. Am I the only person who liked them better in StrikerS? It’s not really word-for-word the entire first series again…but like ANN said, it’s a “new parallel history”…go figure. Me likes when Nanoha and Fate weren’t fighting each other. :< It seems Fate also got a new looking Bardiche. In addition, it's also been said that it might have a female voice this time too. o_O

And then there's a Drama CD of StrikerS three years into the future without Nanoha, Fate, or Hayate. Imo, that's all the important people. It seems a lot of the kids grew up a bit.

Chaos;Head Anime Airs this Fall.

Well, since I have a little gallery for the game, thought I might as well write something about this turning into an anime.

Chaos;Head is a japanese visual novel that revolves around an enigma with mysterious deaths. I haven’t played the game but the art seemed fun so I added that to the gallery.

ANN:

“The September issues of Dengeki Daioh and Comic Alive have announced on July 26 that Nitroplus and 5pb.’s Chaos;Head computer visual novel will be animated for television this fall. In this psychological suspense story, a shut-in teenager named Takumi becomes embroiled in a series of mysterious deaths around the Tokyo neighborhood of Shibuya. Nitroplus also co-developed the Demonbane and Blassreiter multimedia franchises.

And here’s Comic Alive’s site: http://comicalive.blog61.fc2.com/blog-entry-45.html.

Looks like they have an official homepage for that anime up too: http://chaoshead.jp/
The site seems to be incomplete…but you can actually click some parts of the splash screen. I’ll let you find that out. Here are three pictures that I found from that:
