Simply put, because during the short periods of time that Kyoto Animation anime aren’t airing, a.f.k. subs Animal Yokocho. And Anime Yokocho is an awesome anime. That’s all.

Nagasarete Airantou is sort of like Gilligan’s Island, except an anime version. This means less Skippers and Professors, and more Gingers and Mary Anns! Sounds like a good change to me!
Kamichama Karin is another one of Koge Donbo’s manga that now has an anime. She’s also responsible for Pita-Ten and Di Gi Charat. I really liked Pita-Ten a lot, so I was really excited for Kamichama Karin, even though I’ve never read it.
Romeo x Juliet is the latest “adaptation” from Gonzo, masters of adaptation. They’re now taking on Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, and adapting it to anime. Wait, this is supposed to be Romeo and Juliet!? Seriously!?

Lucky Star – Anime Promo Impressions
Judging by the promo, the Lucky Star anime is going to be very, very good.
Also, props to a.f.k. for subbing this. Seriously, it’s probably the most accurate translation job I’ve seen in an anime fansub in quite a while.
Err, wait, doesn’t it say that it’s airing on Wednesday, at 1:30!? Damn it a.f.k.! You had one thing to translate and you couldn’t do that right!!!
Hitohira has been out for quite a while, but I finally had a chance to check it out. Raw style! I will tell you right now: If you like highlights (like the hair ones), you will need to watch this anime!
So I sorta caught some flack after saying that CLAYMORE looked like a generic shounen anime. Okay, so it’s got a girl with a huge sword as the lead character! After watching the first episode, I’m still convinced this anime will suck.
I think Hayate the Combat Butler is probably the pre-season favorite for the Spring 2007 anime season. It has lolis, butlers, and an OP by KOTOKO! What else could you want in an anime?
One of my favorite web comics is VG Cats, though the updates are seriously way too few and far between. I guess Scott Ramsoomair is a fan of anime, so sometimes the comics will be about anime, and not video games.
In a recent (relatively, at least) comic, Scott tackles the widely known anime rule that band-aids heal everything. Not just minor cuts and scrapes, but everything. I actually think that it’s the band-aids in conjunction with sleep that will heal everything.
When you think about it, it’s not really so far-fetched. I mean, if Usopp can survive a direct hit to the head from some blunt object (I think it was a hammer), who’s to say he can’t be healed with bandages and sleep? This phenomenon is also seen in a bunch of other shounen anime like Naruto and Bleach.
Now, if they had only applied the band-aids correctly to Haruka Suzumiya, maybe things would’ve turned out better…
Kurau Phantom Memory is an anime that went completely unnoticed by me when it aired in 2004. Luckily, I just got a screener of it from ADV, so I can enjoy some Kurau-y goodness.
