ANIMAX MUSIX 2010!!!

 

It’s ANIMAX MUSIX 2010 and another batch of artists are doing their take on some classic anime songs. This was a really amazing concert but sadly, I ended up just watching the version from the ANIMAX channel and I actually didn’t get to watch it from the beginning. :(

The artists who were on this said event was May’n, SCANDAL, ELISA, Mizca, Faylan, Shuhei Kita, AKINO fro bless4, Yoko Takanashi and Sayaka Sasaki.

This was really a fantastic event and it’s really fun to see and hear these artists have their take on some of our favorite anime songs.

May’n even sang GOD KNOWS (Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu), Shuhie Kita and Sayaka Sasaki did a duet of What’s up guys (Bakuretsu Hunters) which was spectacular!

I also loved the collaboration of Mizca and SCANDAL. The event was really breath taking and it was unfortunate that I only got to watch the ANIMAX channel version.

One of my favorite performances though was AKINO fro bless4’s take on the Mononoke Hime song as well as the MAZINGER Z song which wasn’t as good as the original (of course) but they really gave it SOOOO much energy which made it fun to watch.

I really hope a DVD of this concert gets released so I could watch it again *sigh* oh well have to wait for next year’s ANIMAX MUSIX event then.

Kimi ni Todoke SEASON 2 is a GO!!!

 

Yes! Great news for Kimi ni Todoke fans everywhere! This will be announced on the cover of the November issue of Shueisha's Bessatsu Margaret magazine.

Season 2 of Kimi ni Todoke will premier on Januray of next year.

I’m very excited about this news. Kimi ni Todoke was really one of those animes that kept me feeling fuwa fuwa every episode.

I really loved how the anime was presented story wise and art wise. So, if you haven’t watched this anime yet then I highly suggest that you get a copy (anime or manga) and catch up!

There’s still no news about the theme of the second season but I’m hoping for more development between Sawako and Kazehaya (of course). But more importantly, I also want to see more of “Pedro”/Maru-chan and Ayane.

I want the season 2 to show more of Ayane’s back story because honestly, IMO, she’s one of the most interesting characters in show. I like how she’s a bit mature compared to her other friends and I’m very interested in how her relationships will turn out.

Yes Sawako-chan you will need to make your appearance on live TV again XD

I’m really looking forward to Season 2 and I hope that the flow of the story continues as well as the art style (simply breath taking).

Awesome Masamune Nendoroid!

This is certainly something that I didn’t expect but I’m so very happy to see this. XD

Goodsmile will be releasing a Masamune Date nendoroid which is really awesome!!! I’m glad that goodsmile is starting to have more male nendoroids in their list.

The Masamune date nendoroid will be released on Januray 2011and comes with 3 expressions, posable elbow joints and 6 katana sheaths.

Goodsmile also announces that his rival Yukimura will also be getting the nendoroid treatment soon and I just can’t wait!

This is really really good news for me but a very very very bad news for my budget. A LOT of nendos and figures will be released this January 2011 that I don’t think I can have them all.

One’s thing for sure though, Masamune and Yukimura nendos are certainly must haves!

Another K-On related anime news, goodsmile will be releasing  a Ui Hirisawa nendoroid that will be released on Januray 2011.

The Ui Hirisawa nendo will consist of 3 total expressions and 2 school uniforms (awesome!). She also comes with the ribbon that she used in the anime to disguise as her onee-chan Yui.

K-ON Anime Movie Is A GO!!!

 

Great news for fans of the anime K-On so called K-on anime film that was announced on its final episode has already been GREEN LIT.

You can check out more information about the K-On film by on their official website.

Although this may be great news for some, I’m a bit pessimistic and curious to what the writers and the director have in stored for the movie. Hopefully, the movie doesn’t consists of 80-95% of just plain moe.

Don’t get me wrong though, I’m not a moe hater but a movie based on just plain moe for 1+ hours isn’t just worth it for me.

Hopefully and I do mean hopefully, the writer and director makes a movie that has substance rather than rely on the moe-ness of their character.
