When I first heard of the anime called “Sumomomo Momomo,” I immediately thought of Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo! Apparently there’s no actual connection behind the similar names. Sumomomo Momomo actually falls into the genre of “loli girl wants to make babies with unwilling guy.” But can any anime really be better than Rizelmine?
So Otome wa Boku ni Koi Shiteru is kind of like Strawberry Panic, except for one difference: one of the characters is a dude in drag! I’m all for these wacky gender-bending anime. So how does this one compare to the likes of Ouran High School Host Club and Strawberry Eggs?
So Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge, aka Perfect Girl Evolution, aka The Wallflower, is that one anime that’s sorta like She’s All That. Or at least, that’s what I figured it would be. Usually making ugly girls into hot babes consists of one step in movies: take off their glasses. But is it really that easy in anime?
Busou Renkin is yet another shounen manga that is being anime-ified. I could’ve totally used the word “animated” but hey, this is how I roll. So is this more run of the mill shounen or does Busou Renkin actually amount to something?
Red Garden is an anime that takes place in New York. Finding cultural discrepancies is always fun, and the stereotypes that Japanese people make up for Americans are priceless. In addition to this, Red Garden also features a plot! And huuuugggeee noses!
As Hinano stated, Mamoru-kun ni Megami no Shukufuku wo! is the anime that really confused all of us at the Anime Nano Podcast. The seemingly Lilliputian size of the green-haired kid coupled with the giant girl in that promo picture made us all give a collective WTF? But how can you go wrong when the anime’s official website is megadere.com!?
It’s totally beating every other Fall 2006 anime into the ground! The anime series popularity tag cloud thing that I implemented on Anime Nano shows how many times a series has been written about in the past 2 weeks. Kanon has already been mentioned 66 (make that 67) times! That’s almost 5 posts a day!
I’m guessing this anime is gonna be waaaay popular. Maybe even more popular than The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi… I for one welcome our uber-moe overlords. Uguu~
Kanon was one of the first anime that I watched when I started out way back around 2001. It was on every list of “must see anime” and I have a feeling it still is on a lot of lists today. Fast forward to 2006. Kyoto Animation is handling the production of a remake of one of the greatest anime ever! Everyone’s expecting this to be pure win, but is it?
D.Gray-man is another one of the shounen anime out this season. I guess it’s supposed to be one of the more popular series. Death Note, another shounen anime, actually ended up looking pretty good. Can D.Gray-man escape the lameness that most shounen shows exhibit?
Just recently, Broccoli Books sent me a bunch of anime calendars to review. I don’t typically review calendars on my blog, but these ones are anime themed! I got two wall calendars: Disgaea and Samurai Champloo. I also got two desk calendars: DiGi Charat and Juvenile Orion.
