Kurogane’s Anime Blog

In memory of one of last season’s best shows. Matsuri, you will be dearly missed.

Superior. Megami is starting to get my love back already. Next month they better feature Kagamin in her miko-fuku, preferably with Konata in some sort of matching outfit or cosplay snuggling up to her again.

Fuck I died at the Rein and Kagami x Konata huge spreads. Rest of the posters look pretty awesome as well. Excuse me while I go order my 2 copies.

I wonder how much would it cost to laminate the Konata x Kagamin poster…

The first pictures of this month’s Megami are slowly streaming out. After a less satisfying issue last month, it seems the Megami team has picked the pace back up and this month’s issue looks quite nice, with ample fanservice from risque poses to calming ones. Yoko sure looks hawt, the Lucky Star gang are in meido-fuku and there’s even an Onegai Sensei pinup as well. Wonder if that means a new Onegai series is in the works…

Funnily, what happened to sola? Hopefully there’ll be a Matsuri/Aono spread.

Almost everyone seems to have mistook her for Ayaka. Nekane must be crying now hearing that. She needs more appearances along with Anya seriously, especially in the manga.

Pwned. ’nuff said. No matter how much I don’t like SHAFT’s version of Negima, I can’t deny they draw good shit.

Hi-Res, 20MB(yes, 20MB, epic isn’t it?) version available at imouto.org. Use wisely.

Yep, it’s another Megami. This time it’s Hayate no Gotoku cover, along with an awesome Evangeline poster. Sadly, the rest don’t seem to excite my internal otaku… makes me wonder if I should order it or not when HLJ stocks it.

Matsuri-chan kawaii yo Matsuri-chan!

sola has totally become one of my “must watch” shows this season. Noto-sama in a non-stereotypical role for the win! Matsuri-chan kawaii yo Matsuri-chan!

Also, it features two other good seiyuus in non-stereotypical roles, namely Mai Nakahara’s character as Aono, first time seeing Mai Nakahara doing the stoic girl role here, and Tomoko Kaneda as danbooru loli, which kinda reminds me of Suisuiseki because of her green dress.

For now, I’m really wondering how will the story for sola go on, but so far it’s been heavily hinted that Matsuri-chan is either a vampire or suffers from a form of sensitivity towards bright lights. Aono seems to be suffering from a similar condition too, but knowing that the screenwriter is a one of those working on Kanon before hand, I’m taking the illness part.

It’s out. This month’s posters are somewhat less awesome that previous issues, but it more than makes it up with the inclusion of a StrikerS CD. Now waiting for hi-res scans.

This month’s posters.

P.S. Those aren’t mine, OK.

Awesome character design, sadly it’s wasted on a mediocre show. Still the poster rocks and I’d probably kill someone with moe overload with this.
