9. Coburn's stopping

   Indeed I've seen that Coburn stopping announcement. Sadly, he seems serious about it. When I do it, it's always bullshit and tsunderism, but not here. As they say in Abridged Yu-gi-oh ep.07: "Goodbye, sweet prince".

10. Media Blasters trailers

    The Midori no Hibi set included a promo DVD for Media Blasters and their Anime Works label (or is it "imprint"). It's always fun to pick on trailers.

    

    Ironically, Midori no Hibi itself was there too, and honestly the trailer was so-so. I think it would not entice me to …

11. Owen on Mnemosyne

    Apropos Funi's traditional failure to license anything that I would buy, here's what my database refers for Mnemosyne:

    Take the random chaos of Gantz, the gore, sex, and plot of Bible Black, the deep symbolism and raped mythology of Evangelion, a bit of cyberpunk ala Real Drive, a bit of …

12. Robin Sevakis on Gankutsuou

    Two days before John wrote that "the Gankutsuou anime deserves praise for simply being a high quality production from beginning to end" (yes, really), there was an Anime News Nina strip about it.

    

    She should've saved the joke for something more deserving, like ef.

13. Strange death of Oi Hayaku

    In comments to his quit post, Coburn answered Owen's questions about the reason thus:

    I’m not sure if there’s any single thing. To some extent I’ve often been on the verge of quitting, only to pull myself back for some reason or another. It seems like quite …

14. Druaga:Sword 07

    I won't spoil the details, but we learn that Ahmey is very definitely dead, so GONZO is not going to pull Gascogne on us. But we knew that, right? Just didn't want to believe.

    

    We still don't know what the heck the kerchief meant.

15. Jaalin on Haruhi-chan and Churuya

    What a coincidence, the next day after I blog them, Kadokawa posts new shorts and there's an article at Random Curiosity. In it, Jaalin did not write a single word about the scandalous lack of mini-Ryoko.

16. Figure 17 getto

    Not that I want rewatch it, but Figure 17 was a great show. I had some money left on a gift card with which I paid for Ani-nouto's server, mitsuki, so I used it.

    

    Also, I noticed just now that it's a Media Blasters release. Surprising. I came to think …

17. Haruhi Official Parodies

    Youtube continues to deliver the "holy crap" experience. Back when Haruhi was overhyped, I only decided to watch it because of those adorable "Nyoron~" comics and Chiruya; needless to say, the anime was a big disappointment in that regard!

    

    Now Kadokawa decided to fix that little problem postfactum, by animating …

18. Lyrics

    IIRC SDB wondered once in comments what Japanese do to make lyrics to fit the rhythm (can't find the post now, sorry). The answer is, same as Americans do: they cheat. Especially for plain (informal) language, speakers can drop particles a lot... or keep them, if it helps singing. Here's …
