Do the Summer 2006 Anime Preview ever stop? I hope not. Here’s the third of the anime preview trilogy (which might have more than three parts!):
Kemono Zume
Kemono Zume is the tale of two star-crossed lovers; A monster, and a monster hunter. Such cruel fate! It’s like Romeo and Juliet, except with swords and claws! So far, all we have to look at is a picture that reminds me of a reverse Blood+. Still, this anime looks promising. The artwork looks sweet, so I’ll watch at least the first episode.

Here’s my much anticipated sequel to the in depth (not really) look at the Summer 2006 anime season! I call it, Summer 2006 Anime Preview! Part Dos!
Demashitaa! Powerpuff Girls Z
Hey, it’s the Powerpuff Girls, and they’re all anime’d out! While it’s true that the original Powerpuff Girls were not much to look at (they didn’t even have fingers!), these ones look kinda wrong. It just feels like they’ve been mutated into generic mahou shoujo with weapons. As a (sorta) fan of the original Powerpuff Girls, I’ll be watching this anime, if only to point out everything that sucks about it. Then again, Buttercup is totally a natural tsundere…

Since everyone else is doing it, here’s my quick look at the recently announced Summer 2006 Anime Season! As always, my opinions will be based purely on pictures from the anime’s official sites and often confusing translations from anidb:
Flag
Flag seems to be an anime about, well, a flag. Not any normal flag, though, this one has the ability to end a civil war! But the flag gets stolen by terrorists! Okay…
The characters seem kinda rugged, and the anime also sports mecha, which I’m not a big fan of. I’m not really anticipating this one, but as they say, new anime is good anime (I don’t know who really says this).

I just watched episode 4 of Kamisama Kazoku, and I have to say that I’m really happy with the ending that this anime got. Wait. We’re on episode 4!? I half expected Kyon to jump in and yell “No, this is episode 13!” They better not be pulling any of this Haruhi Suzumiya episode shuffling crap on us!

Around March of this year, while on a trip, I happened upon the import manga section at a Borders book store. For some reason, I don’t think that the Borders near my house has any import manga… Anyway, I bought the first two volumes of School Rumble, and they sat on my bookshelf for about 3 months.
Actually, I got through the first three or so chapters using my three years of college level Japanese, and this handy online dictionary! Still a bit too slow for my tastes, though. It took like, 5 minutes per page!
About a week or so ago, I got my Amazon.com order full of manga goodness! This included the first volume of the English translated School Rumble manga. I thought I’d compare the two since they’ve got quite a few differences (besides the obvious language difference).
