Yeah, I hate it when that happens. :frown:

Hopefully they'll fix it soon, I'll just leave it on my watching or stalled list until then.

More Akikan! would be good, but I didn't find the OVA that great compared with the rest of the series. Obviously the whole point of OVAs for these types of series is usually to take the ecchi up a few levels from what they can show on TV, but Akikan! is one of the rare examples where the male characters (Kakeru, Gigolo and that random gay government official) completely outshone the larger female cast, so having them play a smaller part left it feeling like any other generic harem series. :s:

OP

New Naruto chapter was a bit of an anticlimax... Surely that can't be it?

New Bleach chapter was average; nothing really happened... again.

Gonzo Stripped of Strike Witches Season 2

In a surprise announcement which may be the death knell for troubled studio Gonzo, the production for the second season of Strike Witches has apparently been confirmed as moving to studio AIC, despite earlier assurances that Gonzo would retain the rights.

AIC has previously cooperated with Gonzo on the production of Strike Witches, so they likely have some expertise with aerial pantsu-like things.

AIC may actually be a very logical choice if Gonzo was considered too unreliable or otherwise, as they have previously produced the similar Skygirls, as well as several series jointly with Gonzo (such as Seto no Hanayome and Sora no Otoshimono, along with the aforementioned Strike Witches).

In any case, the loss of its most high profile franchise probably spells the end for the lingering remains of Gonzo, at least unless its management overhaul turns out to be spectacularly successful…

Sucks for GONZO, but studio AIC are pretty awesome so I doubt there will be too many complaints from fans. :p:

The only other 'news' post that took my interest was just a rant about next season's lineup (or lack of one), with 16 new series this winter compared with 24 the year before. :s:

Hmm, Strikes Watches... Another 'had potential that was never realised' series from Gonzo, with solid animation and an interesting premise, but suffered from poor pacing and laughable villains. Here's to hoping AIC will deliver something better for the second season. Clearly, there was enough demand to warrant it, probably in account of the apparent lack of mecha musume anime on the market.

2009 hasn't been the best year for anime, certainly not for quantity, but there's been some often underrated gems, that's for sure. It doesn't really affect me anyway, since I'm picking up a lot less than I used to.

It's the opposite for me; autumn 2008's lineup was so good that I picked up more than ever before, spring '09 adding to that even further (though it was more due to quantity than quality, too many to choose from :p:

). Since then I've kept on the same number of ongoing series (16).

Last night at animesoc the taster showing (first four episodes) was of Kimi ni todoke. Like Toaru last week this was a series I have episodes of and had been planning to watch. Unlike toaru last week I really enjoyed it. In fact I was about to start episode 7 before I messed around with MSN :giggle:

One of the main reasons is I kind of match the main character :nyoron:

From the wild swings about others must feel, to not quite knowing how I was able to be lonely and so on :nyoron:

But the main thing that really struck a chord was the whole not calling someone a friend in case it was embarrassing/annoying for them. I've only had "classmates" and "colleagues" since secondary school.
