So my huge ass anime order from RightStuf came in a few days ago. I decided to watch Haibane Renmei first, since it seemed the most interesting.
Month: September 2006
Osamu Tezuka is known for being the “father of manga.” He’s famous for creating manga such as Astro Boy and Ribon no Kishi. One of his lesser known works, however, is a manga about the life of Buddha.
Another one of the manga that I got from Broccoli Books was “Kamui.” I seem to have procured quite a bit of manga (and a backlog!), so I thought that I better start reading! Here’s my review of Kamui Volume 1.
Star Blazers is a totally retro anime that was known in Japan as “Space Battleship Yamato.” It’s considered a classic anime and therefore, a must watch! But does the “classic” label mean it’s too old to be compared to current anime?
I recently had a chance to check out the Star Blazers Series 1 DVD Collection. Here’s my review of Disc 1 (Episodes 1-5).
The first anime of the Fall 2006 season is here! Black Blood Brothers is a vampire anime. Does that mean it sucks? Read on (and I guarantee no more puns) to find out!
One of my all time favorite stalled anime has got to be Animal Yokocho. The subs stopped around March of this year, but a.f.k. seems to have picked it back up again. It’s already seen three releases in September so far!!! I thought I’d try and bring some attention to the anime so a.f.k. will have a bigger reason to keep subbing it.
I’m not a big anime DVD buyer. In fact, I’ve never bought an anime DVD until today (tonight). Now that I think about it, I’m not a very big buyer of DVDs in general. Well, that anime DVD drought ended when I saw a bitchin’ deal on the front page of RightStuf.

Fall 2006 Anime Preview: Part 8
Finally, it’s the last part of my Fall 2006 Anime Preview! Phew! In this ultimate preview, I take a look at Bartender, Gift Eternal Rainbow, Love dol: Lovely Idol, and Kekkaishi.
Bartender
Bartender Facts:
- Bartenders are mammals.
- Bartenders fight all the time
- The main purpose of a Bartender is to flip out and star in anime
Yeah, I think it’s weird that there’s a Bartender anime. But hey, Cheers was on TV for a long ass time, and it was a tv show about a bar…

Fall 2006 Anime Preview: Part 7
Wow, this anime preview thing has a lot of parts, huh? Here’s Part 7 of the Fall 2006 Anime Preview. I’ll check out Kujibiki Unbalance, Shijou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi, Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru, and Hataraki Man.
Kujibiki Unbalance
Kujibiki Unbalance is a spinoff of Genshiken. It’s the anime that they watch within in anime. As a sort of parody, it seems interesting, but I don’t know how well it’ll do as a stand alone anime. First off, it has to be good enough so that you believe that the Genshiken characters actually fanboy about it…
The preview video makes it seem like some kind of lame pseudo anime. I’d gladly trade it for a second season of Genshiken, but I’ll see how this one goes anyway.

Fall 2006 Anime Preview: Part 6
Part 6 of my week long Fall 2006 Anime Preview is upon us! I check out Kanon, Happiness!, Code Geass Hangyaku no Lelouch and Ayakashiayashi.
Kanon
Kanon was one of the first anime that I had ever seen. When I think of it, I want to eat taiyaki and go sit sadly in the snow. But we don’t get snow here in New Mexico.
While the plot of the original seemed kind of erratic, I have a feeling that Kyoto Animation will do a kickass job on this anime. This is a must-see as far as I’m concerned.
