That’s right, after a whopping 834 votes were tallied, the best anime of the Spring 2006 season has been decided! It was a close battle, but a true victor finally emerged!
Was it the preseason favorite, School Rumble? Or was it everyone’s favorite god show, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya? Would it have been possible for the Ouran High School Fight Club to win? Did the killer lolis murder the competition?
Suddenly, a new contender appears in the Spring 2006 anime lineup. Yes, Spring, not Summer. Hime-sama Gyoujin was a highly ignored anime from last season. I didn’t even know about this anime until I spotted it on the toshokan. I decided to check it out. Better late than never, right?
Ah, two weeks have now passed since the release of my baby, Anime Nano, and I thought I’d give a quick update on its status and whatnot.
Lots more bugs have been squashed. The hardest one for me was the unicode disaster bug. Let’s just say that if you’re ever debugging something that’s being scheduled on cron, make sure the crontab has your environment paths set correctly. Whoops! That probably didn’t make sense to anyone…
And now for the thrilling conclusion of my epic 14 part Summer 2006 Anime Preview Extravaganza!
Kyon: Wrong, it’s part 5!
Me: Oh yeah… On to the anime previews!
NHK ni Youkoso! is about some hikikomori guy who thinks the NHK is out to get him. Chill out, dude! It’s just a tv station! There also happens to be a super cute girl who is apparently sent to kill him. I’m guessing she doesn’t though, or this anime would be really short. I’ve read a few reviews on the manga, and they all seem to be positive. I’m somewhat skeptical about the so-called “hikikomori action” (isn’t that an oxymoron?), but hopefully that means this anime will somewhat resemble Genshiken.
Since the Summer 2006 anime season is a lot smaller than the Spring counterpart, it looks like I’ll get a chance to preview all of the new anime! Here’s my next batch of highly conjectural previews:
Bokura ga Ita seems like just another shoujo anime. It’s a story about a high school freshman girl’s first love, blah blah blah. Character designs look pretty dull to me. Story seems kinda generic. Of course, I’ll still watch the first episode of this anime. I’m such a sucker…
