    FMP! The Second Raid – Zenyasai

    I have to say this has definately shot up to my most anticipated now (granted, we've already started the season). This looks pretty amazing and there's more of what I love about FMP's action and comedy. Oh and the new OP, 南風, by 下川みくに (Shimokawa Mikuni) is really good. It's already stuck in my head.

    Suzuka – 01

    Short Summary: Akitsuki Yamato is enthralled by the beauty of a girl doing the high jump on his way over to his new job and home at a bathhouse. However, during his first cleaning, he gets interrupted by some female customers. Being the klutz that he is, he accidentally pushes one onto the floor just as the high jump girl from before walks by. She walks away after giving him a dirty look.

    Honey & Clover – 11

    Short Summary: Mayama wakes up to find Morita and a bound Takemoto sleeping beside him. In fact, Morita's not only been living with Mayama, he's also started to wear his clothes. And he won't even shower, not even in the one Mayama constructed for him. At school, Yamada can tell that Morita is wearing Mayama's clothes. He says that he's also wearing Mayama's underwear, but before he can show her, Yamada knocks some sense into him.

  • If you check Tokyo Tosho regularly, you know that it's been down recently. Their temporary page until their domain gets back up is here.
  • I won't be blogging Kamichu raw anymore. I honestly can't pick up enough out of the series to make any decent blog out of it, but I will try to keep up with it subbed. To compensate (kinda), I think I'll be sticking with D.C.S.S. raw even though Shinsen is putting it out at a decent speed, for now anyway. Also, there are four more new shows I have to consider, so I think I have more than enough on my plate. For the record, those shows are Suzuka (airing tomorrow), SHUFFLE! (airing Thursday), FMP! The Second Raid (a week from tomorrow), and Ichigo Mashimaro (a week from Thursday). Ichigo Mashimaro is the only really iffy one on that list, as I've tried to pick up the manga twice now and I just can't get into it (no loli festishes here).
  • On a related note, I have the radio rip to D.C.S.S.'s opening song, サクライロノキセツ by yozuca*. The single's not due out for a while and it hasn't even been played on the show, so I can only assume it's a radio rip. Anyway, I'll consider torrenting it when TokyoTosho comes back up on its main domain (if someone doesn't beat me to it). It's a good song, reminds me a lot of Gundam SEED/Destiny type music.

    Akahori Gedou Hour Rabuge – 01

    Short Summary: Kaoruko and Manami are a magical girl duo called Love Pheromone. They're quite the odd pair because Manami is obsessed with little girls and big breasted women while Kaoruko is obsessed with little boys. In the first episode, they transform into Love Pheromone to fight some bad guys who've taken a hostage. However, when the police run away at the sight of Love Pheromone (after their ridiculous transformation and launch sequence), you know something is up.
    Posted inFirst Impressions Sousei no Aquarion

    Sousei no Aquarion – 14

    Short Summary: Silvia wakes up after having several dreams of Baron, as if she were in Apollo's shoes. She goes to Sophia for counseling, and Sophia suggests that Apollo's dreams and memories are now hers. An alarm goes off and the Shadow Angels are at it again. Reika, Jun, and Pierre are sent out to battle an invisible enemy. Neither Aquarion Luna nor Aquarion Mars can do it though.
