Anime is a very deceiving term.  Anime comes from the English term, animation or in roumaji, animeishon/animeeshon.  Anime also happens to be a French term for animation, but it doesn't refer to Japanese animation.  It could refer to any sort of animation.

So, yeah.  Various dictionaries say that it's an English term, not French.  Oh and yes, you can write the Japanese word in kanji (which I forgot right now), but not anime.

I'm not sure, but I believe Kyoto Animation's the studio again.  Let's hope there will never be another world blunder during this run.  We had too many of those already.

Body.  This wouldn't have been the case if I had kept on drawing on a consistent basis.  It would have been the hair instead.

I actually thought it was going to be out in July o_O;;; I know it's going to coincide with L'Arc~en~Ciel's single release, since that single is going to be the movie's theme song haha xD I'm pretty sure it's July...


er just checked animenewsnetwork, and the date says July 23, 2005 xD

It got pushed back a month.  Huh.  Well, now, I know.

Funny you say that.  The "Turtles" OVAs are just as funny as the original.  Seriously.

Why the Japanese version is better than the original:

+  Sakuma Rei-san, Shinohara Emi-san and Nakamura Daiki-san.  Okay, people will not care about the last person, but the last two are good enough for me.

+  They actually pronounce the names of the artists more properly.

Why the original is better than the Japanese version:

+  It's the original.  What else do you need to know?

+  James Avery, Cam Clarke and the guy who played as Donatello, whose name I forgot right now: I heard those voices a lot when I was younger and they were that good.

+  Could have never understood why the Shredder's name was changed in the Japanese version, but eh.  It's minor.

+  "Cowabunga!"  Need I say more?

There are more.

Meh.  Was never a fan of the series, since I'm not its target audience obviously.  I wonder if Ishii Kouji-san's going to be in it.

Personally, I think it's all eye candy and nothing much else.  The music's a mixed bag and I didn't connect with the characters for some reason.  The characters do look like characters I know from various series though.

Oh yeah.  Watch the original.  "Sky Blue" is altered a bit.  Don't remember how.

I can't remember if this is true or not, but the "Fullmetal Alchemist" movie should be out before summer?

I am so horrible with times right now.  All I care about is "Ichigo Mashimaro".  That's it.

Never mind.  It's "Binchou-tan".  I might watch "Dokuro-chan" though. =P

"Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan"

If this is the anime where they have a girl that ends up being the next Puchiko, this is my number one series right now.

While it doesn't fall into action, mystery or romance, good luck finding "School Rumble" if you plan to watch that. (You'll pretty much encounter raws.)

Though somewhat old, see "Beyond the Clouds".

I can't remember if I'm right, but "Stellvia's" second season should be out in May?

Ack!  I'm behind like one or two episodes!  I'll need to get the latest episode today.

4.  The recent one came out last month.  8 if we're talking about the Japanese version.

Seiyuu can be a deciding factor on what series to watch for some people.  Since we're talking about Akamatsu Ken-san, I might as well talk about "Love Hina".  Some people only watched the second and last television episode of it.  Why?  Guess who played as Shinobu's mom.  Tsuru Hiromi-san.

Oh.  I guess my first post wasn't enough.  I might as well give a more descriptive rundown on "Negima's" anime.

High points of "Negima":

Songs, eye catches, most of the seiyuu choices, the ending presentation, I think that's it for now.

Low points of "Negima":

Designs (as usual), the color scheme (with some colors being too bright and some of the color layouts being so wrong), and the amount of plot changes.

Unlike "Da Capo", in which I actually gave watching after only an episode even though I said I'd watch it because of the seiyuu, I'll actually keep this promise of watching this series.  Yeah, I'll watch it, but it'll be ugly, especially since I have to remember 30+ girls.  At least I get to hear Yuri-san in an anime again.  We might not get the chance to hear her in an anime again for another four years if that happens.  So, I might as well make the best of this opportunity.

Yes, I saw "Negima".  Yes, I only saw it for the seiyuu.  No, I don't like the changes or the color scheme.

Honestly, I don't know if I can dedicate a year to a series only because of the seiyuu.

"Sol Bianca" airs on Wednesday at nine.

They need to show raw and subbed anime again, though I am enjoying the music video trade-off right now. ^^
