NKDS

Now watching the live broadcast of the IM@S 4th anniversary event with Shia and they’ve revealed the seiyuu for two of the three girls. It’s Nagi and Zange! Yes! Haruka Tomatsu and Kana Hanazawa! And yes, they are dressed in awfully short skirts! The last cast member will be announced later. Meh, Kugyuu’s not in attendence.

Stay tuned for updates!

Edit: Last girl’s is Yuko Sanpei but she could not attend the event. Oh well.

Edit 2: Mehhhhhhhhhh, queued up for one hour for a twenty minute event.

What we have here, ladies and gentlemen, is the first look at the long awaited Optimus Prime and Jetfire combiner from Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen.

Let’s be frank. When I first heard of the rumour, I knew in an instant it would be awsome. As a child of the eighties, I remember watching Transformers Victory and basking in the gloriousness that is Victory Saber. Fast forward almost twenty years later, Micheal Bay gives us this. This work of art. Look at those bare ramjets hanging over the shoulders. Look at those beefed up legs. Look at those glowing barrels on the gatling gun he’s using. Look at those eyes of Prime, as he looks down at the carcass of Starscream.

As someone on 4chan said, “Michael Bay made sweet and gentle love to my childhood. Thank you, good sir.”

We gather here today for a purpose.

Found this on seiup.

Almost a month after Animelo, Lantis will be holding a two-day event featuring artistes from their line-up, both past and present. Like Animelo, both days feature different line-ups with some acts appearing on both days.

Show of hands please, anyone watching the supposed reruns of Haruhi this season?

…

I guessed as much. 

Here is a good reason for you to start picking it up. Or at least parts of it.

That’s right. Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody has been animated, which means the appearance of a moe-moe Nagato Yuki is not that far off. As you might have heard by now, KyoAni/Kadokawa is hiding the new episodes in plain sight, by mixing them with the reruns of the first season.

This should be one of the few times KyoAni has animated two ongoing projects (Haruhi and K-On) in a single season at once, and broadcasting both the new and old Haruhi seasons together might not be just a pure marketing ploy. This broadcast method would let KyoAni catch its breath and balance between the two projects, hopefully without compromising on quality. And of course, they could always pass off the stunt as “viral marketing” if questioned.

So there we have it. An actual Haruhi Season 2. Maybe Duke Nukem Forever has hope now.

This is Julius Firefocht, signing off.

Nagi and Hayate.

Seiup is awesome. It really is. There is nothing like going to Seiup after a hard day at work, to find yourself a gem or two to keep you going. So I am going to bring you the latest and/or greatest that I’ve found in Seiup in recent times, at least according to me.

This is supposed to be a picture post, so let’s cut the crap and get on with it.

But hey, now I know who is responsible if I ever find myself turning gay for Hayate. Ryoko Shiraishi has beautiful legs. The stuff coming up next made me blow a few fuses though.
