I was so preoccupied with so many other things that the summer anime season totally slipped my mind! ^^; But they say it’s better late than never, no? So here’s a rough list of anime that will be airing this Summer 2009. I might have missed a few other titles, but either way, here’s the information I’ve been able to gather (listed in alphabetical order, by month). A couple of series will start airing in June while the rest will air in July. As usual, batch lists of my first impressions will follow when the subs are released.

OK, enough with the talk. Here’s the Summer 2009 anime preview list!

“Second Movement” (special episode 2 of 2)

Note: There are some bits of (fangirl side comments) from me throughout the summary. :3

SUMMARY: While feeding some cats, Kanazawa-sensei (or Kanaya, as they call him) apologizes to Hino about Kira’s rude behavior to her. Hino says it’s all right. At ensemble practice, it’s just Fuyumi, Hihara and Shimizu who are present since Yunoki had to go abroad to get ready for school, Tsukimori will be running late because of a rescheduled lesson, and Tsuchiura had soccer practice. Kanaya is quite worried because they don’t have much time left for ensemble practice.

Also known as Seirei no Moribito and Guardian of the Sacred Spirit

moribito_book1After finally getting around to reading, collating stuff from the novel + anime, and tweaking, here’s a little review of book 1, as promised. ^^

In this entry, I won’t be writing a detailed summary of the book since the story is pretty much the same as the anime adaptation (save for several anime-original episodes). I just included some of the story’s highlights and some of my notes/comments that I jotted down while reading the book. I also compared the book a bit with the anime adaptation by Production IG (yes, I re-watched the series while/after reading, too :3)…

So, um, if you haven’t read the book or seen the series: **SPOILERS ALERT**

hei_dtbJust a quick fangirl squee over a piece of good newsIt’s official,  Darker than Black season 2 is on its way!!! No word on the exact date yet, but it’s definitely coming (I’ll edit this post once I get the date).

I am SO watching and I’d definitely be blogging episode summaries of season 2 in its entirety (which may take a while, but I don’t really care xD).  I can’t wait to see my precious Hei once again. Oh, happy day! ^_^

Here’s to hoping for more backstory on contractors and dolls, more kicka$$ fight scenes, a stronger Kirihara, more good stories, and of course more Hei! ;)

oofuri_mihashi-count_deadweaselIt’s with great pride that I celebrate Undercover’s 2nd birthday! ~YAY!

Now, since I’ve already done the obligatory historical account of Undercover last year, it’s not much of a tl;dr post this time around; just a quick look at some of the stats and a brief preview of what’s to come…

moribito_books_02

Um, nothing special… Just the usual occasional (giddy) random babble/filler post from me. I finally got my Seirei no Moribito books!!! My good friend since high school came back home to Manila (from Michigan) for a vacation this month. Along with her, she brought the first Moribito book that I requested, even surprising me with the second book in the series! (thank you!!!) I didn’t even realize book 2 had been published already. ^^;

~ I’M SOOOO HAPPYYYYYY!

So, um, yeah. I simply couldn’t resist doing some sort of episodic post for EotE. Heh. Anyway, I’ll most likely do it in batches, like 3 episodes at a time until the finale. This isn’t a detailed episode summary, more like a brief hodgepodge of some of the events from episodes 1 through 3 just to keep track of what’s going on in this series.

~ So, with 3 episodes in, what do we know so far?

op-ed-spring

Another season, another OP/ED themes post. It’s for Spring 2009 this time. Quite a few good tunes this season. As usual, please note that this list of songs is pretty much subjective. It’s listed as “Top 5″ ranked according to my preference, followed by randomly listed titles as “special mention.”

~ Format :: “Song title” by band/artist (OP#/ED# – anime series title)
