Taisho Yakyuu Musume, that’s Taisho-era (1912-1926) Baseball Girls. The list of voice actors for this show is definitely solid, including Mamiko Noto and Yui Makino; the animation, while not the best I’ve seen, is also pretty nice. So why is no one paying any attention to the show?
Its been on the Internet for a while now but I wanted to assume it was only rumor. I’ve got a number of anime from them, sad to see the effects of the economy is now hitting the anime industry.
Houston-based ADV Films is officially closed; they have sold their assets to five other companies.
This leaves me asking, Sentai Filmworks was presently working on Clannad ~After Story~, as ADV Films was to be the distributor, as they were with the first season of Clannad. Who will distrbute the new works? “Sentai Filmworks” itself is a bit of a ghost term which is hard to define. Who is Sentai Filmworks? They have no official looking results that show up on Google, only news of their relations with distributers.
I’ve watched every new episode in this incarnation of Haruhi including all of the Endless Eight arc. I was pretty excited when I originally heard there’d be fourteen new episodes of Haruhi. Too bad eight of those episodes were the same.

The French developers Monte Cristo released a demo of their upcoming city simulator title Cities XL on September 7, and I’ve finally gotten around to giving it a try.
I’ve wanted to read Atlas Shrugged for a long time. I really don’t even remember the first reason why. I can say one reason is because I enjoyed Ayn Rand’s Anthem. Anyhow, over the months of this summer, I kept trying to get into the book but I managed to get distracted by other things and would forget my progress in the book.
For the sake of sharing an interesting read I thought I’d share a conversation from Slashdot on the links between world peace and economics.
I have finally got around to seeing Miyazaki’s lastest work, Ponyo.
Looking at the IMDB’s box office stats for the film, it seems its been a fairly good success in theaters here in America, but anyhow a friend and myself still managed to get a whole theater to ourselves for the showing.
I never noticed this before, but by placing asterisks around a word in Facebook Chat will bold the word, and placing underscores around one will underline the word. My first instinct was to figure out how to type italic text. Well a few Google searches showed that other people were looking for it as well; so I decided to go “straight to the horse’s mouth,” so to speak.
I’ve definitely decided to become more of a patron of my favorite bookstore. After finding a favorite manga of mine there the other day I decided to check out what books and other media I an order through them. I proceeded with my search and found that I can get both an anime I’ve dying to get my hands on and manga of which the fan translation I found absolutely hilarious.
My problem will probably be deciding what to get first. Kyoto Animation’s Lucky Star fully available, including even the OVA. [Search results]
And from Kiyohiko Azuma, author of Azumanga Daioh, is Yotsuba&!. Completely crazy about Azumanga Daioh (which incidentally happens to be the manga I picked up last week) I read up on its creator and got my hands on a fan translation of Yotsuba, which might possibly be funnier than the work I was originally sold on.

Just stumbled upon an interesting read on where RDBMS and file systems merge in theory by fuzzysoul. Also happened on an anime Danbooru board, moe.imouto (NSFW, may contain hentai); high-res = love.
Another thing which caught my eye today, 4walled (also NSFW, images are from 4chan); just keep scrolling and keep finding awesome wallpapers…
