Too much time in forums = little time for this blog!
I've been catching up with the ANN anime forum lately. They have changed a bit from when I was last there (probably July?) and the rules have gotten a little stricter. They did have alot of newby posters that don't bother with rules over spring break and the summer, so it's understandable.
There are awesome hidden links to voice actor polls on the ASOS Brigade site! So far you can vote your choice for the english VA's for Mikuru and Yuki! If the studio goes with the winners of the polls, it will be a great service of and for the fans!
I finished Shingu: Secret of the Stellar Wars on Select On Demand recently. It was a decent title and had a decent story, but may turn out boring for some. I enjoyed all the Japanese cultural references in it and how the students coelesced in seemless unity. I rated it "very good" on ANN.
I'm upset with Comcast, my local cable company. I had been watching Anime Network On Demand freebees for quite a while, then the link on the menu disapeared from the first page of the menu. I am partially to blame because i assumed, since it had disappeared before that it was gone again, but it had only been pushed down the emnu to the second page! Why couldn't they keep it in alphabetical order!?! I missed the forth episodes to two very good series; Jinki: Extend and Comic Party Revolution. If i had missed them on Adult Swim or regular TV, I would just dowload a fansub ep, but it is against my principles to steal from commercial free programming sources...

Welcome the the NHK...
Wow. This series ended at 24 eps, which was just perfect in what they wanted to portray. Welcome to the NHK comes across as an expose on the hikikomori mindset, what it takes to get there and what it takes to get out, with all the mad cap calamity that goes with it; as well as the tragedy. But it's not only the main character Satou who has issues to deal with as each of the supporting characters has his or her own baggage to bear.
It was a roller coaster ride for me as I routed for Satou and Misaki to get their acts together and was often thwarted in what I thought should have been the outcome of each episode. In the end I got what I wanted in a sense in that the lives of these two people remained intertwined as I thought they should be.
I recommend this series and rated it masterpiece on ANN's database.

Bleach DVD 01
I have been watching Bleach on Adult Swim for quite some time. I had made it up to ep seven when the announcement came that it had been licensed for the US. I waited patiently for the US release, but found that it was to be aired on Adult Swim which was slightly disappointing. But now my prayers have been answered; I got the first US release DVD for Christmas! What's the big deal? It's got STICKERS! and an exclusive art print inside. So I have to say, "Thank you VIZ!"

The great news!!
I have finally gotten back into checking out the forums (well actually, only one so far; ANN) and it actually took me from 7:00pm to 02:00 am to check out and post a few comments on just three pages of the anime post entries! Check it out at ANN.
The great news, though is that The Melencholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is coming to America! Check out their North America website.
