In my Summer 2006 anime preview, I thought Zero no Tsukaima looked like an anime version of Harry Potter. I got a chance to look at the raw, and so far, the anime looks good. Here’s my first peek at Zero no Tsukaima:

My adventures in raw anime continue with Mamotte! Lollipop. “Mamotte” means “protect,” so this anime is supposedly about protecting a lollipop. Or maybe a (loli)pop? Anyway, here’s what I got out of the first episode:

Anime Expo 2006 Licenses: The List!
Sorry, SOS-dan, no license for you; just hanabi
So apparently Anime Expo is the convention that’s known for its anime license announcements. This year was no exception. A lot of “well, duh” anime were announced, but there were also a few surprises. ANN decided to compile all of these into a nicely ordered list. I thought I’d go through the list and give my 2 cents on the acquisitions (at least, the ones I’m familiar with).
It’s out! The Powerpuff Girls Z anime! The Powerpuff Girls get a nice cosmetic update in their new anime (including fingers!), but is the show actually better than the original?
Despite how it sounds, Binbou Shimai Monogatari is not an anime about a bunch of bimbos. It’s actually about two poor sisters working to make ends meet. I like to translate Binbou Shimai Monogatari as “The Legend of the Financially Destitute Sisters!” So is this anime uplifting and happy, or super depressing? Or both?

Level Up: Watching Raw Anime!
Sakura supplements her raw anime with raw fish…
For a while now, I’ve been stuck watching anime via english fansubs. Sometimes the subs come out super fast. Other times, anime series will be stalled/dropped, and I never get to know what happened to Bo-bobo once he had to start his fight with the ice cream head guy!
