Onodera Akira returns!

I’m so glad. Onodera Akira’s official site had to be shut down a while ago after someone had sent some idiotic threat mails. Looks like the site might be back sooner or later! And Onodera-sensei is working on a yomikiri. Well, if that isn’t good news after Hayabusa has mysteriously vanished from Asuka (;_;)…!

Yukikaze

I really enjoyed the first episode of Sentou Yousei Yukikaze. Can’t believe it took me so long to finally watch it. I’d say that the story line is quite innovative for a mecha anime. It took me a bit of time to get used to the character design, but I think it really fits the more mature, serious story.

Don’t know if I have enough time tonight but I’ll try and watch the first episode of Texhnolyze. Abe Yoshitoshi greatness!! I might as well turn this into some sort of anime night as I still have to watch D.N.Angel 3 and the latest episode of Wolf’s Rain. And Yukikaze 2, yay!!

D.N.Angel anime series

D.N.Angel’s fabulous – in a cute, innocent sort of way. I always thought the manga was quite nice and I’ve been following it in Asuka more or less actively. The anime is quite good. Irino Miyu is exactly the right person to lend his voice to Daisuke. He’s so adorable, I really love him ♥
Some of the CG art was making me a bit dizzy. All the main characters were introduced quite nicely, though, and the mixture of comedy and more serious, darker undertones was just right. But: no OP and ED in episode 1 ;_; Oh well, Episode 2 airs tonight in Japan so I hope to get to hear the songs on Saturday/Sunday, as soon as the fansubbed episode is released.
